Society for the Preservation of My Sanity

I am. Even though my head feels like it might burst wide open any second and my throat is all sore and scratchy and my lung feel like a big hairy ape is sitting on my chest.....

...at least it's not the puke & poop.

Praise the Lord it's not that.

*sigh* But how long will this round of hacking and barking and headachy days go on? Gah!

I'm taking Case for a check up (before soccer season) on Thursday. I think, unless I'm a lot better, I'll just have the nurse pull my chart too! Wah.

It's a hot, muggy day here. Fireworks are scheduled for tonight. Corey's patroling the pre-boom festivities right now and Case went up with him. Tommy's out on a nasty pager call. He blurted out something about a burned out pump and the electrical wizard dude who takes care of that stuff is on vacation, blah, blah, whimper.

I think he was a bit panicked. I hope he can take care of it. I hope he can get home before dark. He's worked a lot of overtime the last few days. At least he'll be off Monday and Tuesday. MAYBE. Barring anymore water-related mishaps or emergencies around here.

We had so much planned to do with all this off time. (he was SUPPOSED to be off from Friday through Tuesday) Pressure wash the siding; shingle the shop building (finally); he was going to cut Chubs' dog lot in half, which would require lots of metal cutting and welding (but would free up some yard space!); pull up a large dead pine in the front yard; maybe even get the kitchen painted.

But no. *siiiigh*

I guess God had this down as "sick and overtime" week for us. lol!

Oh well....it's not like we were planning some big shindig. I've felt yucky long enough to have NOT been planning anything! That's kinda strange to think of that as a good thing, but really ... it is. I'd have been all upset had we been planning to have a cookout and then I got sick.

As it stands now, I think this is just some nasty summertime cold.

Happy Weekend to ya'll!!
