Boy, it IS a slow day here, isn't it?
I know I've been AWOL the last couple days, and sadly, I haven't been anywhere fun, like
Twins. I don't know what's been my problem. Just alternating busy and tired, I guess.
I'm glad you like the new periodontist,
LadyM. I hate for you to have to face any of this, but I think I'd be the same -- get it all over at once and be done with it. (((HUGS)))
Short story is they told DH to not take the weedeater apart......again.
This made me LOL!
OTOH -- (((LadyM's DS))) the metal sliver did NOT make me laugh. I bet that HURT.
I need to give myself hourly challenges, I guess. I've done nothing today.
Nancy, sounds like you've had a very productive day, but I'm sorry the class was depressing!
Where have I been the last 48 hours?
Wednesday, of course, was (is) always hectic to some extent, because I have the GriefShare meeting in the morning, which makes me get home around 1:00 pm. Then Wednesday night is church, and guess what -- I am the new teacher for our Bible Study. Don't quite know how I got myself into this situation.
Our pastor has been our teacher, and by the end of the spring session, we were down to about 4 ladies. There are another couple ladies who were usually there but had various problems in the spring. We may gain some more as we start a new session, but honestly, as far as I'm concerned, the smaller our group, the better. The pastor has had to fill in as youth group leader for Wednesdays since that person resigned. I told her I had much rather teach our small group than be responsible for the youth, so certainly, I would fill in with the adults till we find someone for the youth position.
In between the two group meetings Wednesday, I had to go to Wmart and get some groceries, and get a fruit tray for a funeral Thursday.
I put that together -- in a nice chip/dip bowl, rather than the Wmart package -- and carried it to church Wed. night.
Thursday, I went to the divorce court hearing to support dcousin. I was glad I went, because it wasn't like our whole family of 30+ showed up. Her brother and sil, her aunt and uncle, and a good friend of hers were all the family she had with her, plus me. The philandering ex was seated alone with his lawyer and the lawyer's secretary.
It was a whole lot of hurry up and wait. As it turned out, they kept calling the lawyers and Dcousin and her ex back to the judge's chambers, I assume, to try to reach an agreement. This must have been a problem for the ex, because Dcousin kept coming back and saying she was fine with what they proposed... then he'd go back and after a while, they'd call for her again. We got up there at 9:00 and it was almost 11:00 when we left. I'm glad we were there, because if not, Dcousin would have been sitting there all alone during all that wait time while her ex was with the lawyers. That would have been sooo nerve-wracking.
At any rate, she said she was fine with the settlement, which is temporary -- I think just to get him caught up with financial responsibilities he's been shirking, and get her through till the divorce is final. We did not see him afterwards but I think he did the "education" we had been hoping for.
I went from there to the church, where I was part of the Sunday School meal committee, stayed for the funeral and meal/cleanup. I got home about 4:00 pm and I was TIRED. I took a LONG nap and ate supper around 8:00 last night -- a bowl of chicken noodle soup.
Today I have TOTALLY been a sloth.
Dmom called to see if I cared if she went ahead and kept a lunch date with DS and DDIL, even though we had made tentative plans to go see the movie, Reagan. Since I was still in bed, I told her that was perfectly all right with me -- we can see it next week.
I continued in my laziness, except for doing my Bible reading, and then DDIL texted me to pass on a request from a friend to use our College Town condo. She had told this person she'd have to ask me and dbil.
Well. Dbil and I were in complete agreement -- no. NO. As dbil said, we are not opening up a bed and breakfast. He and his fiance will be down there at least part of the weekend EVERY weekend when the games are at home, and we just are not going to start this.
So DDIL relayed that message, a bit "softer," telling the friend that family would be using the condo so it was not available.
This is NOT a CLOSE friend, y'all -- I mean, none of us socialize with them beyond church activities, and these people just got home from a week or more in Europe! Dbil said, "I think if you can afford a week in Europe, you can afford a $400 hotel." I told him we should divide what we spend per home game over the cost for a year. I bet it's a lot more than $400. Sigh. We didn't want to look like *&)^*& you know, but dbil is right -- if we start letting one family use it, then it will be open season for everyone we know!
I am now listening to the high school game, and I am child-free this weekend. DS and family will be going tomorrow, and they are leaving around 8:00 a.m. I don't know if anyone will spend the night with me tomorrow when they get home or not. They'll probably be home by 10:00.
My stomach has been upset the last couple days and I'm using that excuse for my lack of energy or motivation.
