Yesterday was ridiculous...it is time for the seasons to stop playing yo-yo and make up their mind...is it spring or is it summer? I worked 7 hrs yesterday. When I arrived I signed up to leave early (should the call volume drop) and then after doing that thought to myself....wait a minute...it's air conditioned here...it isn't air conditioned at home. I ended up working my full shift anyway. Haha.
So I was done at 3pm. I stepped outside the building into muggy, oppressive August type weather and drove home with the windows down.
Once I got home I went and watered Mom's new plants (cause they looked like they needed it....) and then served myself a 4-scoop bowl of "Triple Citrus" sherbet and sat out on the front porch with a fan blowing on me, eating my sherbet and reading from "The Encyclopedia of Magical Animals" to find scary monsters for my newest character to have to slay (oh the joys of what I get to do for research)...I came up with a few...I wanted more obscure ones than your typical demon types...I was thinking more welsh and irish monsters like giant beavers etc...you'll learn more as I do..I promise.
After eating 1/2 of a frozen sausage pizza (after I cooked it of course), I drove to Monroe for Band Practice. That was good, I got to admire a friend of mine's engagement ring, and listen to the flute section jokingly decide that they were going to try to find me a man. I don't need their help...thank you...nor want it really.
After band practice I drove through the McDonald's drive thru for a $1.00 large coke (Mmmmm). I drove home and proceeded to watch Highlander 2 (much cheesier than last night's Time Burton's Batman) and change my bedding so that I would sleep better last night as opposed to the night before. Now my bed has a sheet and my light quilt on it...not a thing more!
I did sleep much better last night. To wake up to grumpy thunder and massive cramps...what a way to start a day. I didn't mind the thunder, but I had to close all the windows so the house was really oppressive, no moving air. So I had a box fan blowing on me as I ate my breakfast of Bacon and an english muffin, washed down with a glass of milk.
I got to see Anna for a few minutes as she stopped home to look for something, on her way to the bank and to hang out at Cafe Claudeen's in Monroe with Kareesa and Claudia Wilson. We left at the same time, and I arrive at work, to see that I started a 1/2 hr later than I had thought, hence giving me the time to write this.
Anyway, it was a great way to start a long, hot, muggy day. I work till 5, then go to my other job for a few hours...and at least it is air conditioned here. If I survive, I'll let you know.
1) I like that when you describe sitting on your front porch, and general things about your home, I know what you're talking about now. :D
ReplyDelete2) You stayed later at work because it was cooler there. haha. That's great.
3) Clean sheets. Ahhhh. :)
4) I want a cookie.
5) Cramps kicked in for ME tonight and I took 3 ibuprofin right away ... and about an hour later took 2 more. I don't put up with cramps' crap much anymore if I don't have to!
