pal...
Hiya, pal! How are you feeling?
While I'm here, I might as well add a bit more.
I didn't accomplish my whole to do list for this weekend. I did get all the cleaning done. And I do mean ALL. You know how you clean something and then you notice something else looks dusty/shabby/dirty in comparison and it's just a vicious circle? That kind of happened to me.
I was dusting and noticed the curtains were dusty so I took them down to wash them, then with the sun shining through, noticed how dirty the windows were and so washed them, and on and on and on. The good news is the house is very clean. You can come over and eat off my windows if you'd like.
However, I was so exhausted by all this cleaning that I didn't get much else done. I didn't get my hair cut. I didn't get much packing done. Which now means I have to fit all this stuff in after work this week.
So, tonight, I'm going to try to get my hair cut. Tomorrow, I have to get my head examined. I mean, my eyes. Again. And I still don't like the contacts. This is my third trial pair. Maybe I can just keep trying a new trial pair every week for the next year.
Wednesday I work late. Thursday, I plan on freaking out.
I might as well schedule it in because I KNOW it's going to happen.
My mom also wants us to come over for corned beef and cabbage one night. She went to my aunt's for St. Patrick's Day and my aunt, who is not a great cook, apparently had inferior corned beef and cooked the cabbage too long. So Mom needs a do-over. With non-smushy cabbage. She's not sure WHICH night...as she told me, "Oh, I'll call you whatever day I feel like making it." Hmm...okay. Not much else going on around here, Mom.
Our petsitter/housesitter stopped by yesterday afternoon. Now, granted, Sunny has never met a human being she didn't think was just swell, but she really took to him. Which is comforting. They played for quite awhile--she was so tired after he left that she slept for the rest of the afternoon.
So, that made me pretty happy. Now I don't have to worry. He was so cute--I told him we'd be leaving at 6 a.m. and he asked me, "Should I come over really early then?"
Well, no, hon, she's usually alone all day anyway. She has her own room in the basement with her own bed. A regular bed. It's Cait's old twin-sized one. Sunny even has storage drawers and a bookcase headboard where she keeps all her toys.
It's a load off my mind that they like each other so much.
The saga of Caitlin's phone problems continues. She needs a charger because it only works part of the time. Of course, when she took it in, it was working so they wouldn't give her a new one. She refuses to go back because they were rude to her. So now I have to add running over to the cell phone place sometime this week to pick up a charger. Oh, and they moved, and I'll have to figure out where the heck they are now.
I'm also having a problem with a tooth and I'm debating about whether to try to get into the dentist or just seeing if it abates today. I don't want to be like Bunny's Nana having to go find a dentist at WDW. That's an attraction I'd prefer not to visit.
Do you all get like this just before vacation? I was SO excited last week that I could hardly sit still. Now, when someone asks me how long before I leave, I say, all panicky like, "It's only FOUR days!" I need a vacation to get ready for vacation.
Oh, and DH just informed me that he took Thursday off. So, when I started listing all the things he could do for me that day (I wish I could make him go to the dentist and also to the hair cutting place for me but those things were not on the list, I'm sad to say) and he told me he'd taken the day off so he could sleep and rest up before we go!
Must be nice, fella!
Thanks to all my peeps for reading along!
to you, pal, and no, I'm not sick. In body. In mind, well, let's not go there. As I'm sure you could tell from my "WHAP" thread that I am having the same kind of week. Helped out LOTS by the "nanner nanner boo boo" calls from my mom: "Hi, honey, it's 85 degrees here, we're sitting at Epcot in France having some champagne."
I look like a nerd in my glasses so that's not an option. Vanity, thy name is Amy.
I am just loving your trip report!!
