Sat-Uurrrrrrr-day

I should have known it would be one of those days. After the long hot day in Pueblo, I never really cooled off. Nor did I sleep very well last night. It didn’t help that at one point, that the puppy and Tosoto decided to have a fight on my side of the bed. LIterally over the top of me. I still don’t see how I got away without a zillion scratches.

7am, the alarm went off. I had a meeting to go to. Stratigic Planning Committee. The only thing that stood between me and being at that meeting by 9am was the beginnings of the headache from hell. The alarm was too loud. The room to bright. Oh, and standing up to get any aspirin was just so out of the question. Luckily, pitty was taken on me. Aspirin and water appeared and I went back to sleep till 8:15am. At that point, I had the headache down to a dull roar.

Normally, I would have just blown off the meeting. However, we have been trying to get this District Strategic Plan done since February. So, off I went. Dan had to bring me my glasses that I forgot. Headache head =’s no brain. We got some stuff done, but by 2pm, it was clear that we were all ready to just call it a day. We will tackle this monster on June 23rd.

Came home and took a nap. By 6pm the headache was better, but still not gone. I’ve just taken it easy. I think I’ll take my cup of tea and head off to bed.

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!
