Weekend Wrap Up...

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! 

Feel Good Friday!

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! 

Rainy Day!

It's finally raining! I don't know about you, but a good rainy day is needed from time to time. And the earth needs it, so I can only complain about idiot drivers. 

We made it to Thursday! I guess that's something. Yeah, it's been that kind of week. I'm looking forward to the weekend, even though it's more list tackling. Ha! Hey, I crossed five things off this morning, so there's that! 

Editing is going well. I missed one day this week. I'm hoping for a big push this weekend and then I can cross this one off my list. Then I will decide what to do next. I have three projects started. I'm not sure I'm ready for one of them, though I can world build and map out stuff. Two others are started - one is a quarter done and the other is half done. I have another one that's completed, but needs heavy edits. And a shiny new idea. Make that two. So...

That's all I have!

Behave! 

Rambling on Tuesday...

Ugh! Tuesday is just a reflection of Monday. 

It's gloomy out, but hopefully that means it's going to rain. I'm going to sound old and say "we sure need it". Well, we do. 

Edits are going well. Except I'm at a part where I need to do some work. And I don't know if I'm going to have time to get anything done tonight, but we'll see. 

They've started the big project across the street from our house. A whole lot of dust and machinery is going on. Currently there's a big old trailer blocking our parking. I'm hoping that's resolved by the time we get home so I don't have to pitch a fit. I'm not looking forward to this whole process, but there isn't anything I can do about it. We voiced our concerns and asked our questions and were brushed aside and given placebo answers. 

My to do list has grown back to it's original size despite me tackling it every single day. It is what it is. Things are always like this at this point in the year. I'm used to it, which is why I make the big list. 

And that's all I have...

Behave! 

Weekend Wrap Up...

Oh h*ll. It's freaking Sunday evening again. 

1. Jeep work. One step at a time. We're getting there through broken tools, missing parts, rust, and mosquitoes. 

2. I think I managed to get about a half a mile done on my to do list. I spent all day yesterday running around like a crazed chicken. But I feel really good about what I got done. There's still about a mile of to do list (no, really) and it grows more than it shrinks. 

3. My class reunion was yesterday. I didn't make it. It looked like fun from the pictures I saw, but to be honest, I don't remember ninety-seven percent of the people. I'm sure it would have come back to me, but it's been a really long time and there were over six-hundred of us in my class. I really only hung out with That Man, my sister-in-law, and maybe two other people--especially towards the end of my school days, so...I donated books to the raffle and did reconnect with a classmate I do remember in the picking up of those. 

4. We've been watching the progress of 3I/Atlas and some of the news stories are downright bizarre. 

5. Loaded baked potato soup for dinner. Man, I was craving that. And now we'll be eating it for lunch all week. Ha! 

6. Editing. I got through quite a bit today. None yesterday, but that's okay. I will continue through the week in the hopes of being done and ready to submit very soon. 

7. Clean sheets and sleeping in. Okay sleeping past the normal alarm time. 

That is all. A new work week looms and I'm already tired. 

Behave! 

Feel Good Friday!

Here we are! Man. What a crazy week! And what's up with it being hot again? Ha! I'm kidding. I know. I know. 

Let's just get to the list:

1. Do you ever get to a point where even fun things require effort? Yeah. There we are. 

2. Editing will commence this weekend. Believe it or not, I've made decent progress this week. And my head is very close to being screwed on straight for what's next. 

3. No alarms in the morning. 

4. My foot finally healing. 

5. Picking up Jeep parts.

6. Cooking in the crockpot. Twice. And I turned it to the right temperature. 

7. My list is a mile and a half long. It really is. I just checked it. 

8. Already working on the Christmas party for the day job. 

9. My sassy old lady puppy. She's got pain (we're managing it), and she can't see the best anymore, but she's still got attitude and is the best dog ever. 

I have a ten somewhere, but I can't find it. So...

That is all...

Behave! 

More Tuesday Rambling...

Time goes too fast. I feel like all I do is wish my days away to get to the weekend or something else fun. I need to stop doing that. 

Today went fast. (that's another thing) Work was work--the usual. 

There are teeny tiny ants in my kitchen and we can't figure out where they're coming from. We've pulled everything away and apart and cleaned, but no ant homes...

My poor ice maker can't keep up with four people in the house. 

I dislike the work of trash nights, but I do like the absence of overflowing trash cans and recycle bins. (not always overflowing. You know what I mean.)

Both my washer and dryer are making terrible noises. 

I'm making editing progress. 

I am tired and feeling like I'm trying to fight off some kind of illness. 

I don't like it getting dark earlier and I do like it at the same time. 

I have a great love for solar lights. 

That's enough random. 

Behave!
