Long Week

It hasn’t really been a long week.  Monday and Tuesday flew by.  I haven’t had one of those days where it was Wednesday but I thought it was Thursday or any perceptive weirdness.

I’m just beat.  I haven’t slept well in a while.  Last night was okay, but I feel really worn out today.  I’m coming down with a cold or something too.  On a side note, a big bird just buzzed my window.  That was kinda cool.  What was I talking about?  Oh yeah, I’m just beat.

I have a headache and a stuffy nose and all of that good stuff.  I’m trying to figure out if I can take half a sick day this afternoon.  I have a meeting and some other stuff this morning that I have to get through first.  We’ll see.  I’m really looking forward to this weekend, but I’m not looking forward to Easter.  Don’t misunderstand, there’s nothing pissing me off about Easter, it’s just that it sort of doesn’t exist for me anymore.  I’m not looking forward to it because, for me, it’s not really there.  There will be baskets for the kids and all of that.  I took care of it yesterday.  There is no band practice for me this week.  Not sure about my step son, his might still be on for tomorrow.  No school activities (until early next week) and no commitments outside of the holiday.  The potential for peace and quiet is actually pretty high right now.  Throw in some melting snow and it sounds like the perfect weekend.

Half Way

I’m just over half way through the work day, with the weekend slightly less than four hours away. It’s been a busy morning, but I seem to have managed to clean up a messy situation. We’ll see if the rest of the world agrees or not. Fingers crossed.

I looked at my schedule for next week and Monday is the only day that is meeting free. So much for telecommuting twice next week. Crazy craziness is crazy.

Is it possible that this weekend could include something special and unusual for my beloved wife and me? It’s possible. No promises though.

I don’t know exactly when I decided to live blog my day, but that’s how it’s shaping up. Sorry about that, folks.

Urgh

I’m tired, I’m stressed, I feel like I’m right on the edge of getting sick. I don’t know what this weekend has in store for us, but I am hoping there is some sleeping late on the agenda. I’ve been trying to get to sleep early every night this week, but some how it’s not helping. Maybe sleeping a full night without waking up three or four times would fix me.

My wife is in even worse shape. Her company had a release this morning and she had to go into the office to cover it… at 4am. She woke up at 2am to get ready for work. That’s crazy. She deserves a nice sleeping in day this weekend too.

Wish us luck.

Random Flickr Pic

The work day is ending. I’ve wrapped up what I was working on. My wife is on her way here so that we can drive together to get the kids. I am in a complete state of terror that my phone will ring before I can sign out for the weekend.

Here’s a random Flickr Pic to help keep my mind off of the phone.

It’s Niagara Falls. Sure it’s only been a few weeks since we visited, but I wouldn’t mind going back with the kids.

Nothing Going On

There’s nothing going on right now. Nothing worth writing up anyway.

The kids are at their dad’s this weekend, which kinda blows. My nephew’s 5th birthday party is this weekend, that’s good, but my step kids can’t go so that’s not good. The love of my life and I are planning to spend the next few days under the radar, just being stay-at-home types.

I’m back to being pissed off at the bird feeders. The squirrel’s ruin my lame old person fun. I’ve wanted to try taking some moon pics, but the weather has not cooperated since 2010.

Today’s Friday. Yesterday felt like Friday, which is going to make today difficult. There was one humorous moment yesterday when a coworker asked me to handle a task. She thought it was Friday, so she used the Friday protocol (I have to handle some things differently on Friday, no big deal) and I thought it was Friday too so I went right along with it. Five minutes later she tells me, it’s not Friday. I was all like, D’OH!

I should probably mow the grass again this weekend. I should clean up the living room and the kitchen and the bathroom and all the floors too.

I should also put some new strings on the Les Paul and get back into the music groove. I’ve got two old songs started, one on the MacBook and the other on the iPad. I should finish those, then do the three still outstanding from 2008, then call the two current projects done. Then what? I’m clearly not playing along with 50/90. Wait until February? I hope not. Maybe I’ll do a mini-RPM in August or September. We’ll see.

So yeah… nothing much going on. Let’s just have a lazy July weekend, okay? Sounds good.

I Got Nuttin’

I live in New England. I love it here. Unfortunately the rain seems to love it here too because it has rained every day this week and the forecast is calling for rain every day next week too. It is putting me into a “mood”. Jen feels like she’s catching a cold. I am either catching a cold or developing allergies. The kids are fine, they’re on summer vacation so rain or shine it’s paradise for them. I have been getting too little sleep every night this week. I’m tired and sore and feeling run down.

But it’s Friday.

We have no set plans for the weekend. The kids want to go see Monsters University, and Jen and I want to take them. I don’t know when that will happen, but it will happen at some point. Other than that? No clue. The house needs some cleaning and there is tons of laundry, as usual. The lawn is getting long again, but rain every day will screw that plan. I could use a haircut but I’m not worried about it.

Cook out? Rain. urgh.

I am so sick of rain. I want some sunshine and happiness. It’s like, mother nature can’t screw us over with snow because it’s too warm, so she’s screwing us over with rain. She pisses me off sometimes.

Busy Weekend

We have two games at the same time today.  We have a house that needs to be cleaned from top to bottom.  We have a lawn mower that still won’t start damn it!  We have two more baseball/softball things tomorrow at roughly the same time.  We have a 12 year old’s birthday party tomorrow afternoon.

There is so much to do!!!!
