I’ve actually gotten quite a bit done, but there’s one thing on my list that I’m afraid is just going to wait – washing the kitchen floor. The kids are due home any minute, and they will want a snack (9:30 lunch does that to a body) and then it’ll be trying to get them to empty the dishwasher and load it and start cooking and eat and run off to music lessons then home in time to finish the homework and then watch survivor. Tomorrow, I swear – along with the cat boxes and both bathrooms. After I drop the car off for scheduled maintenance.
I’m tired from all the stuff I did do, not the least of which was take the dog to the vet. My back was feeling pretty good before she yanked me all over. Plus, she’s nervous, and expressed her glands several times – at least once in the car. I have the windows open despite the cold to help get rid of the smell. By comparison, the vet’s office smelled like a field of flowers before Judy walked in. Stinky-butt dog. She’s going to need some surgery to get a tumor off her foot. Worst-case scenario, she might lose a toe, too. As if the vet wasn’t expensive enough, now we’ll have to buy her all new shoes.

So little motivation?…YOU?…to wash the kitchen floor?…after your day? You put it on your list, didn’t you… and now since you didn’t get to it, you’ve upset yourself. Not to diminish you in any way, but, you are the only one that the list really matters to -or your schedule-. I’d say that family, including the dog, comes first,always, and all else can wait (and usually does). A big challange for you will be to NOT over schedule yourself and leave -lots- of room for the unexpected…especially during the rest of Mercury Retro in the next two weeks.
Poor Judy! She’s such a timid/fearful thing. This surgery may do her in,emotionally, for a while. Poor sad doggy.
But she’ll get new shoes, bless her heart…or is that YOU who will get the new shoes? Heh.
Lots of love, G.
PS. We seem to have cable! WooHoo! All the same, Barry has put us in to be notified when Verizon is in our area. So there! Ha!

Yay for Cable! And yay for new shoes! Actually, if I start getting called to sub, I’ll need new shoes. And clothes. Staying home for 15 or so years does amazing things to your work wardrobe!
You know, sometimes I need to overschedule, or at least to schedule, but I’m trying to work around my personal style. A little here, then something else, then a little more, then a break. . .at least a little schedule gives me some structure. Right now, I’ve dropped off the car, cleaned all the crud off the counter, put the kids’ halloween candy in bowls instead of plastic bags (plastic bags – serious decorating no-no!)unloaded and loaded the dishwasher and hand washed the stuff that can’t go in the dishwasher. After I waste some time here, I’ll finish the kitchen, then get on the treadmill for two Daily Shows’ worth of time, do the physical therapy exercises, shower, then watch a real grownup movie with the hubby. In between, I’ll get laundry going – that’s not really work until folding time.
Judy’s going in on the 13th. She has no idea. That’s for the best, I think.
