Yay, Its Tuesday

Been feeling cruddy since Thursday.  Blech.  Nothing of any import got done all weekend, although I did drag my cruddy rear end to the store to pick up birthday cards for Mom’s birthday on Saturday.  Her birthday was Sunday.  My little brother and his wife took Mom and Dad out to eat Sunday night, while I watched the kiddos.  I haven’t even wanted to play Sims 2, so I settled for lots of reading.  Now my house is trashed, I still feel cruddy, and I need to catch up on book reviews.  Thinking I’m just going to drag out my timer and work on things a few minutes at a time as I can.  Feeling pretty restless, so I figure I might as well make it productive.

Dad is trying to get Matt over here to help him move my washer and dryer…so they can investigate the critter invasion.  From what I heard the other night, its coming through under there.  But I don’t know if there is a hole under there, or if they are coming through the wall from the back closet.  Or if there is somewhere completely unrelated that they are coming through.  All I care about is finding the entrance and blocking it.  I severely dislike having critters in my home.  Still not sure what the fascination is with the Play Dough, but I guess it keeps it occupied.  Still haven’t gotten a glimpse of the critter, but I still suspect squirrel.  Red to be precise.  Nasty lil buggers.

How was everyone else’s weekend?

Today Has Been Declared OFF!

And pretty much the rest of the weekend too.  I’ve declared this weekend a state of emergency for myself.  I’m exhausted, not feeling too hot…I think last weekend finally caught up with me.  All I’ve done so far today was sleep, post a book review on Through The Library Window, and now I’m writing this blog post.  I’ll probably still mosey about, not saying that its going to be completely unproductive.  But I sense that there will be an awful lot of Sims 2 being played.

I don’t want to burn out before truly getting started.  I’ll see you on Monday, unless I have something particularly blog worthy. :)

But that’s okay.  Alright, its not, but there’s not a damn thing I can do about it now.  Its a new month, new start…and the fact that I’m “waking” up a full 7 days into the new month means nothing.  Getting sick at the end of September just threw me off, and it took me a bit to recover.  Still not sure what it was, and am still just bone weary…but I’m progressing again!  Went ballistic in my bedroom just the other day, and cleared out a full lawn and leaf bag full of junk (mostly clothes and shoes) that I donated to a local thrift store, Kenaset.  I think I spelled that right.  They are wonderful and do so much for the community that they always get my items.

The time wasn’t a total waste, as I did manage to snap a few photos of the early fall colors here in New England…of course I now have to get my sorry butt out into the cold to get the later ones!  Before the wind blows all my pretty leaves away. :(  Even dragged out the Halloween decorations…which is a HUGE improvement on last year.  I’ve also signed up for NaNoWriMo, so I’ll be looking forward to that.  Of course I haven’t figured out what my project is going to be, but I have all month to work it out.  Might toy with the story I was writing for a friend…I just can’t get past 400 words on it. ;)

Not the best picture, but nothing was agreeing with me that day.  Still pretty though!

Enjoy! :)

It's A Sims 2 Day...

I think all this time outside helping Dad until well past dark made me sick.  I've felt like crud the past two days, and yesterday was spent once again helping Dad with his projects.  So now I'm almost twice as bad.  I just want to sleep, but I don't think that's a good idea...so I'm spending the day doing "light" work, such as playing video games and writing when my brain cooperates.  Yes I know I shouldn't "wait" for inspiration, but I put the creamer in the cupboard, went to take it back out of the fridge after I already have, and almost dumped it into a glass rather then my coffee mug.  And that's just the adventures of the creamer!  So I'm not exactly trusting my brain to string too many words together right now.

And I never finished the blog post yesterday.  Its been sitting here since 11:48am...yup, I'm not having a good couple of days!

I'm still all kinds of wonky and woozy, and I have to take Mother grocery shopping in a couple of hours.  I would be grocery shopping as well, but unfortunately I haven't gotten the food stamp issue resolved.  No one wants to call me back, and frankly, its pissing me off.  Of course yesterday the phone was ringing off the damn hook, so no one could have gotten through if they tried.  Hopefully I hear before going out, and then I can get the food we need.

I'm trying to be gentle on myself, even though my to do list is as usual taller then myself.  But I don't to end up finding out that I put something in a cupboard by mistake, or screw up something royally.  Piecing together words is hard enough right now!  Ugh, and I have to drive?  This ought to be amusing.

Its another Sims 2 day...
