Tuesday...

I saw a meme the other day that resonated with me...

"Everyone complains about Mondays, but Tuesday can go f*ck itself too"

And yeah, that's right. 

We were at the grocery store earlier and the cashier (we usually do self check out, but I was too tired to fight with the 'put your item in the bag' bullcrap) asked how our week was going and I said 'long and I know it's only Tuesday'. Ha! 

Why do the work days go so slow and the evenings go so fast?

Which isn't entirely true. Today went fast at work, but I still was counting down the hours until we could leave. 

We got home to a strong smell of cat pee. Yep. My fat boy...displeased about something...God knows what...decided to pee on the kitchen rug. So that's outside and has been hosed off. Gross. I honestly don't know what his problem is. We've tried all of the things, including multiple trips to the vet. She gave him meds, but giving him the meds stresses him out even more, not to mention it makes him a zombie cat. He's such a sweet boy and I wish we could figure this out. 

Work on the Jeep is commencing. I'm so excited to have her back. It's going to be a while, but it'll be worth it. And the pile of parts will be gone from my living room. Ha! 

I took last night off from writing since I'd had a terrible nights sleep the night before. But tonight I kicked butt. I'm close to the end of what's already written, but I have quite a bit to add. My goal is to finish before retreat (two weeks!) so I can start something new and I think that'll happen. It might not be fully edited and ready for critique, but I'm okay with that. 

And that is all...

Behave!

Weekend Wrap Up...

Oh Sunday... Why do you come so soon?

We're in the last few hours of the weekend. I'm tired, and I want another weekend day. 

Let's get to the weekend list:

Friday night: Grocery store. Quick trip for just dinner stuff since neither of us wanted to go anyway. Good dinner. Writing. Bed early. 

Saturday: Mr. B's soccer game in the rain. Pizza shop for lunch. Actual grocery shopping. Jeep stuff. Writing. K4's man made dinner. 

Sunday: My boys coming to help take the old furniture out. Tacos for lunch. Hanging out with my kids and grandkids. Grass mowing. Plant tinkering. Laundry. Writing. 

Oh and I got a shot on Saturday. I haven't had a tetanus shot in probably twenty years. My old doctor kept saying I need one, but she never followed through. My new doctor, upon having an actual conversation with me and finding out how often I'm doing weird stuff in the yard and that I'll be wrenching on the Jeep, insisted I get updated. Let's just say I'm happy with the doctor change. It's really nice when someone actually listens to and hears you. 

That is all. 

Behave!

Feel Good Friday

Hi Friday! 

I know I've been lame and vague all week. It's been a busy one. Like every single evening there's something we need to take care of or do. 

Monday - Eye doctor appointments. K5 softball game.

Tuesday - Pick up Little B from school and wrangle him until his family picked him up. This meant a pizza shop dinner, a trip to the park, and ice cream. And dirt digging. And hilarity as he told me babies are blind until they're three and that there was a baby "looking at him like a psycho". 

Wednesday - Take the camper to get inspected. Grocery shopping. 

Thursday - Pick up camper after paying a ridiculous amount. I finally get some writing done. 

Now we're here. And guess what? We've got nothing. Well, except a mountain of laundry. 

I will say, everything was good except for paying to pick up the camper. It was a lot and I'm still stunned. 

I am looking forward to sleeping in a little tomorrow. And to clarify, when I say "sleeping in" I mean I'll get up at 7am instead of 5:30. It's very rare for me to sleep past 7. 

Mr. B has his last regular soccer game tomorrow, so we'll be going to that. And then it's Jeep stuff and yard stuff. And writing. 

And that is all...

Behave!

Here Comes the Heat...

It's currently 86*. 

Summer is coming! We have on air conditioner in. We'll get the rest soon. 

That's all. 

Behave!

Feel Good Friday

It's Friday! 

I am very glad. I am very tired and have a massive headache. This is the first weekend in quite a while that we don't have any obligations except for what we put upon ourselves. Well, and that's kind of massive and comes with a ton of pitfalls, but it is what it is. 

We're talking about poison ivy and a lot of it. We've got to remove it. So that's what we'll be doing...among a ton of other things. 

Anyways... Here's the list:

1. The pup continuing to improve. She's graduated from the cone of shame. At least for now. If she starts licking again, it'll go back on, but the area is looking almost healed and she's left it alone consistently. 

2. The sun is out! (Shh... I know we're due more crappy weather this weekend. I don't want to talk about it right now)

3. Making progress with the old lady story. My goal is to get the edits finished before retreat so I can start something new there. If we do get the crappy weather, I can make mega progress, but we'll see. 

4. Apparently there's a bear running around our town. 

5. Oh yeah, and sleeping in tomorrow. I need that.

That is all!

Behave!

Short Week/Long Week

Why does a short week feel so long? I keep thinking today is Friday... 

Not much going on...just trying to get through. I have gotten quite a bit of writing/editing done this week. 

It's cold and rainy. Dreary. We had to turn the heat on last night. I'd like to see some sun, please. Of course, it's supposed to get pretty hot next week. 

Our pup is on the mend. All the swelling is down and she's acting like a normal dog. 

That's all I have...

Behave! 

Weekend Wrap Up!

I don't want the weekend to end! There's still so much I want to do. 

But here's the wrap up:

1. The dog is doing so much better. Her leg is still pretty swollen, but she seems to be on the mend. She hates the cone of shame, which is understandable. We only put it on her if we're not home or at night. Or the second she tries to lick. She's eating well and doing all of the dog things, though she's a little bit entitled now. Ha! Since her leg is no longer draining, she's back in bed with us. Which is good because she sleeps so much better. (and so do I) 

2. The kids were all here for dinner on Saturday. It was a really nice time. They helped with some heavy lifting and we had a chance to actually hang out. 

3. The wedding was beautiful. The weather, the venue, the grooms. It was very small, but everything about it was nicely done. We were honored to be invited and I can't wait to see their honeymoon pictures. 

4. We did a lot of yard work today and we're both done in. Also laundry and an excellent dinner. 

5. I got a lot of writing done too. I'm feeling pretty good about where I'm at. My goal is to be done and have this sent out for critique before retreat. That way I can start something new there. And I think I know what. 

That's all. Tomorrow it's back to the grind. At least it's a short week. 

Behave!
