I'm beat! I was up at 7:00 and played on the computer till 9. That's when I went nuts. I did last night's dishes, (yes, we sometimes leave them till morning) hung the second mini-blind in the spare room, scrubbed all the woodwork, hung the two sets of curtains, put up 4 shelves and a picture and transported my little angel collection onto the shelves. I was wiped.
Unfortunatly, It didn't stop there. Yesterday I invited sister Carol and hubby Bob over for dinner today. They were supposed to be here at 5:00 so at 3:00 I went down and made the stuffing, stuffed the bird and tossed it in the oven. Terry peeled potatoes for me and I headed back upstairs. They showed up at 4:30 so I finished the rest of the woodwork and left Terry to entertain them and hopped in the shower. I came down and we had a nice dinner and they left at 8:00. Terry told me to leave the dishes, but after he went up at 9 I figured I'd just get them out of the way. I did leave the roaster soaking though.
Between climbing the ladder, fighting with the screwdriver, and up and down on my hands and knees doing the woodwork, I have muscles aching that I forgot I had. I do not look forward to tomorrow morning. Luckily, I can sleep in. I still feel like I could go back to work tomorrow. Maybe not. I did take breaks today that I wouldn't be able to at work. At work I am jumping up and down all day. Today when I got tired, I sat. Terry force-fed me a sandwhich at noon. I forgot to eat! I was a movin' and a grovin' to the tunes of Alan Jackson and Johnny Rivers. Hey! I just realized. If this were last night, it would be 11:30! No wonder I'm tired. It's half an hour past my bedtime!
I updated my D'Land qoutes today. Every now and then, someone says something that makes me shake my head and re-read. Ususally it is something funny, but tonight was not the case. My buddy, roadiepig never ceases to amaze me. Just when you think you have someone down, they come out with something that surprises you. I was reading his diary and at the end, he posted his last live flower blossom of the season, as it is going down to 28 degrees tonight. If you read him, you know that though he is a sensitive caring guy, he doesn't usually talk like that. He's one of the guys. At the end of his entry, after the picture of the beautiful flower, he came out with this:
"For one last day, summer held sway over fall.
Winter is soon to arrive."
I just think that is possibly one of the most poetic things I have ever heard.
