Hot weather malaise

It is hot. Hot enough that I don’t feel like doing all the stuff I aught to. Granted, it didn’t help that I felt like lukewarm dreck for most of Monday and Tuesday. If I didn’t know any better, I swear that I slept walked and ate cheese! Oh I felt awful. I also managed to help Pauline pack part of her house and picked up my paycheck.

Wednesday Dan and I went to Pueblo and picked up building supplies to start working on the closet. We are putting a partition in to turn it back into two closets. Pueblo was like an oven. I was very glad that the little truck had air conditioning. At least by the time we got home it was cooler. I also did a ton of laundry. If I knew who was “eating towels”, I think I’d shoot them.

Today was busy. My parents came in around 2pm. I had opened up their house and made sure it was cooling off. Dan and I started working on the closet between babysitting Daniel’s dog, chatting with Pauline, running errands and answering a phone that wouldn’t stop ringing.

My parents took John and I to dinner at the Rambler. It was good as usual. Except for the way the waitress wrote the ticket. No Chez became No CheĀ  Z7.95, which made it look like my dinner cost $27.95! It took two waitresses and a cook to unbollux the register! At least my dad laughed rather than blowing up.

After dinner, we all visited for a bit and then I came back over to help Dan for a bit with the closet. Tomorrow, I take Daniel to Pueblo and we will go shopping for birthday prezzies and more building materials. Wheee….

Just another Manic Monday.

I feel wiped out, and it’s only 3:30pm. It’s the last week of school and between a big case of the f*ckits and general chaos, I’m looking forward to the weekend already. sigh… Can I take a nap? Oh wait,… Already did that.

Friday night, we had that business meeting. It went pretty well, and we ended up going to Pizza Hut for dinner. Erin picked up Logan and Morgan, so it was sort of a family event as well. I even found something I could eat other than chicken wings! There are days being lactose intolerant is such a pain in the ass. After the meeting, Dan and Erin went on a business visit while I read.

Saturday wasn’t too bad. We got to sleep in till nearly 9am. Wow! No crisis’s, no drama. Just yard work and general clean up. Matt and Morgan did a really good job on the back yard at 520. Now if we can just keep the dogs next door from destroying the fence line. The only real problem was that I didn’t feel good. Nothing to pinpoint, just general “uck” and drained feeling. I even fell asleep trying to watch a bit of Babylon 5.

Sunday I got to sleep in again! Huzzah! Then it was off to Pueblo for the payday shopping trip. John and I hit all the regular spots. Money was tight so shopping was lighter. Except for the dog food! 40 pounds of the stuff! Plus, 15 pounds of puppy food for Brandy.

We got it all done including a 15 minute stop at Barnes and Noble so I could read the missing three pages from my book. (the Other Boleyn Girl) Felt daft doing it, but dammit! I didn’t want to miss out on the book. We got home in time for me to do a ton of laundry. Where did it all come from? Gads! I didn’t get to bed until after midnight. Oddest yet was that it was HOT still at midnight. Summer has arrived! Suppose to be in the 80’s all week. It also made it hard to get to sleep. I’ve been so use to snuggling under quilts that I felt naked with just sheets.

Which is why it was so hard to get up this morning. Yawn…. Since picking up the kids, I’ve been to a meeting and am now catching up on the last of the blog stuff. Oh yeah, and another “chapter” to go write on Digitally Challenged!
