Sunday chat

 Poor Lilly, and poor people who had her for the trip.

I'm super sneezy and I've got major nose itchiness. 

What else, what else. Working for a bit today, paperwork that needs to get done too. I'll get on that later. 

 Bummer about Lily and your friends, Julie. I am sure all will get over it quickly. Glad Abbie did fine and the pics from the trip were great. Really a gorgeous area!

My family drives me even crazier than I am.

Another day of prepping and practicing for the demo training.  I hope to be more focused today - I've been feeling really crappy and not sure why. I slept a bit better and feel slightly better for it. In the back of my head I keep thinking about that tick bite. If I don't improve by the end of the week I'll see the doc for blood tests.

And that's it. We had yet another huge dump of rain last night. A little breeze today which is welcome. I refuse to look at any weather forecasts now. Its too depressing

Alright time is a-wasting

I slept like a rock last night too. The open house really did me in and I woke up with my ankles feeling sore. I think it was from standing for about 6 hours and walking around on hills and rocky paths. It went away when I got up, so now I need to get busy cleaning.

Speaking of family driving you nuts...my sweet FIL is making me crazy. We're all going to Maui in Sept for a 100 year celebration of the high school he graduated from. He wanted us to all share a condo but I thankfully stood firm and said we'd prefer our own. Now it's been a bazillion back and forth emails about rental cars. Again, he wanted us all to share one but I said we'd need 2 and then I woke up to an email asking me to book one for them. Ummm....no. I sent him and my SIL the link to do it themselves. He's the nicest guy in the world but he can get really caught up in details and drive you crazy.

Speaking of nice guys...there was a guy at the open house yesterday who helps out around the farm with chores. He talked and acted exactly like Rain Man and I had the best time just chatting with him. He was so proud of the work he is able to help with and kept saying how needed he was around the farm. :)

Cathy, what a neat story about the guy who helps at the farm.  Sounds like a winning partnership.  They have a dedicated worker with a positive attitude, and he has a role that makes him feel productive and valuable.   

As for frustrating family members -- I can totally relate, having just spent a week in my mother's company!

cakana

I didn't envy the thought of packing stuff in and out.

Karen, I'd be worried about that tick bite, too, especially if you feel like you've been "less than par" for longer than it would usually take you to shake a cold or bug. 

I think I mentioned a long time ago that we ordered a new mattress and bed/headboard (and bureau).  The mattress was available immediately, but we told them to hold it until the furniture arrived.  Well, what was supposed to be an 8-week wait turned into nearly double that.  It was finally ready for delivery right as I was leaving for CT, but we told them they'd have to wait on us now (I wanted to be here when it arrived).  So, the furniture comes Tuesday, but the mattress had to come today (different stores = different delivery days).  Tonight the mattress will be on the floor, but I'm still psyched to get it.  I'm hoping it'll solve some of my sleep disturbance problems -- at least it'll be way more comfy than our old mattress!

 HI -- work has had me just insane lately (can Callie say "job security??" -- i hope i hope i hope LOL).  I'm even working from home today.

 rain rain rain ... it's on both sides of that stuck record.  (am I showing my age here? LOL)

Tryng to totally ditch the muscle relaxers ... but every 4-5 days without one and suddenly I'm full of muscle spasms -- back, both legs ... which then triggers the nasty nausea.  

Maybe I'll just sit up 24 hours a day and type.  My boss would be happy ... ho hum
