Yeah, I suck. It's been almost a week.
Everything is the same or at least it feels like it.
With that said...
I'm going to take a little Internet break. Social media is draining. I feel like it's sucking out my soul and is making me sad and cranky.
I'm going to stay away from all of it, including here, for a few weeks.
Catch you on the flip side!
Behave!
Here's a list of suck...
1. I was ready to start submitting the old lady story when I realized my chapters were all wonki-fied and I had forgotten to double-check them. I corrected that, but now I need to make sure where I end the chapters makes sense, so back to work...
2. The last vestiges of this cold. Sinus drainage sucks.
3. I'm tired.
4. Traffic. My gosh, do people even know how to drive anymore?
5. Stuff not working the way it's supposed to.
6. It's only Tuesday. Yeah, there I go wishing my life away, but....
7. Road construction - it's everywhere and it's getting old.
That is all of my grumpiness...
Behave!
Oh Sunday...
1. My Jeep was on four wheels and I got to back it out of the shelter! I almost cried. We're not quite a third done, but it's amazing progress. Half of the lift is one, and I might need to get a step stool to get in. Ha!
2. My book is done and the synopsis is written. Whoot!
3. My freezer is cleaned out. Nothing like finding a bunch of green beans and one terrible looking shrimp.
4. BLT's with fresh garden tomatoes on sourdough bread.
5. Sheets washed and returned to the bed.
6. Most of the housework is done. Well, not really. The essentials are done. Next weekend is the big clean.
7. Our town's Halloween parade coming up. I do like the parade. I just hate the people who think they can park on private property and end up blocking our spaces.
8. Plans to take K5 to dinner this week. I miss that girl (even though we talk all the time, we haven't seen her in a while thanks to opposing schedules)
That's enough.
Behave!
Holy cow! What a very long week!
Let's just skip to the list.
1. Living through this head cold or whatever it was. I still have some vestiges, but compared to Wednesday, I feel a million times better. I ended up staying home from the day job on Wednesday. I slept until 1:30pm and then was back in bed by 8:30. I think that's what I needed because I woke up Thursday feeling far more human.
2. Taking most of the week off from writing, but hitting it hard yesterday. I made significant progress.
3. Tissues with Vicks. I believe these made the entire difference in how I was feeling and in my recovery time. I will fight about this.
4. Every single day this week felt like Thursday. Imagine my disappointment when it wasn't. Now it's Friday and I'm having a hard time believing it. Maybe because I lost an entire day? I don't know, but I hate it.
5. Jeep work coming up this weekend. That Man's goal is to get it on 4 wheels. We still have a ton of work to do, but her being able to roll marks significant progress.
6. I also hope to make significant writing progress this weekend.
And that is all...
Behave!
Okay, virus... I am done with you.
I think I feel worse than I did yesterday. I did go to work yesterday. Our entire network was down and stayed down. That Man and I left at lunchtime because the only thing we could do was answer phones and we could do that anywhere. I slept and That Man worked on the Jeep.
Made it to the day job again today. Still feeling crappy. The network finally came back up, so it's a rush to get everything done.
These tissues I have suck.
The medicine I'm taking makes me feel stupid(er).
I have a fever.
I hate being sick.
Behave!
It's been a busy weekend and a crappy Sunday.
I got a lot done yesterday--many pages edited while cooking food for our friend who just had surgery. Plus, laundry, meal prep for the week, and house stuff... The usual. That Man continued with Jeep work and it's starting to come together.
We took dinner to our friend and spent a little time with her and her husband. It was a nice visit and she's doing well.
Then we got home...
And I started feeling like poop.
I feel terrible that I could potentially infected her. I would have never gone over! I would have rescheduled my meal. I texted her and she's taking it well (with her usual grace), though, I mean, what can you do? I really hope she doesn't come down with it. It's really the last thing she needs and I feel awful about it.
Today I woke up feeling bad. I slept late--way later than normal. I took a nap. But I still wanted to get some stuff done so I soldiered through. Laundry, shower, and the last forty pages on this editing pass. I talked to K5, texted with B, But now that all of that stuff is done, the malaise is creeping back in.
That Man went to B's game. (they're winning as of right now) We figured it was best if I didn't sit out in the blazing sun and also potentially infect my family too. That Man will stop and get me medicine on his way home and then finish up dinner.
I'm still planning on going into the day job tomorrow. We'll see if that changes or not.
That is all...
Behave!
We made it to Friday! And holy crap... we only have four more days of September left! How crazy is that?
Here's the list:
1. Not cooking tonight.
2. Tomorrow we will make a meal for one of our dear friends who had surgery last week. She organized meals for us after my surgery, so I am honored to be able to do the same for her.
3. Writing time this weekend!
4. The weather. Even with yesterdays rain, I cannot complain. Though I know our grass is going to be knee high by Sunday now. Ha!
5. Not having to wake up and rush out the door for two days.
That is all I have at the moment.
Behave!
