Ack, my whole weekend is over!

[chochiyo_sama]

I went directly to Mankato after school on Friday--well, by way of the bank in West Concord.  I needed to get some cash.  Last week I had to put my check in the night deposit box because I didn't get home from school rapidly enough to deposit it and get some cash at the drive up window.

I picked up my friend Oliver at his apartment and we checked in to a Comfort Inn.  We needed some serious one-on-one discussion time.  After checking in, we went to Perkins for supper.  I had always heard how good tilapia was, so I ordered that with broccoli and a side salad.  The broccoli was delicious.  The tilapia, not so much.

When we got back to the room, we just lay on his bed and talked and talked and talked till 1 am.  We got a lot of stuff aired out, and it was good.

At about 1 am, I got into my own bed.  It was remarkably comfortable for a hotel bed.  I slept great, though I had nightmares about one of my students and Johnny Depp.  Johnny was trying to date her and I was pissed because she was just a child and, compared to her, he is an old man.

It was very complicated, as most of my dreams are--but I don't remember most of it now.

I just remember I was furious at him and I was just ripping him apart in a very bitter, angry way.

you don't mess with my kids--even if you are the incredibly gorgeous Johnny Depp!!!!

(What a waste of a dream about Johnny Depp...sigh)

Oliver was ready to get up and go full tilt at 7:30 am.  Not me, I guess.  We were talking and I fell asleep again and didn't wake up until 9 am.

We talked some more, then we checked out, went to Perkins for breakfast, and I took him home and dropped him off again.

It was a good

When I got home, I was exhausted.  I didn't get anything done at home.  I got on the computer and chatted a little bit with a few friends, looked at some stuff on ebay (but didn't buy anything), and went to bed.

Actually, I fell asleep while messing around on line.  I was really tired.  Oliver and I had a good long chat and got a lot of things resolved.  That makes me feel a lot better about where our friendship is. 

Today, I was so exhausted, I could have easily stayed in bed all day.  In fact, I didn't get out of bed till after 11 am.  I should have been up earlier as I needed to do laundry and needed to correct a lot of papers and needed to make a list and  get groceries. 

The only thing I did was the laundry--and I did dishes.  There were quite a few of them.  Now I am sorting out my bills and getting them ready to pay.  I will get paid this Friday again, thank goodness. 

The only things that I got accomplished today was washing three loads of laundry, drying two, washing dishes, cleaning out the fridge, and getting my bills ready  to pay.  Hopefully tomorrow I can sit down and balance my checkbook and pay my bills.

I had intended to go grocery shopping, but I just didn't have the stamina to go out into the cold, gray, rainy day.  Also, I just couldn't decide what I wanted to buy either.  I need  to think about it.  I wish I  could be organized enough to make a menu and stick to it.  Sadly, I am not that organized at this time.

Well, it is now 9 pm and I am tired as hell.

I am going to go upstairs and go to bed.

Hopefully I will get more done tomorrow.

Sigh - - nothing done?

Oh Cho, you silly girl. You got tons done!! What you did for Oliver was enough for most of us to feel very satisfied with the weekend. Loading yourself up with chores after that just makes me feel sad for you. Sigh.

Talk about perfectionism? Geez, Louise.

In spite of the huge emotional drain of one and a half day of counseling you still managed to get laundry done and clean the dishes. Bravo!!

Take a bow, sister. Well done!

You deserved the rest of the weekend off WITH pampering - - a nice day at a spa or good foot massage from Ricardo, your pool man, at the least.

Be good to yourself, please. Sigh.

Love,
Pappy

I spent the entire weekend looking for books and the plush animals that go with them and never finding them. I found some books. I found some character dolls. But I didn't find the ONE I was looking for.

First I'd look in the garage. Then in the attic. Then back in the garage. Then back in the attic.

And I still haven't found the Library Dragon. At least Burbank has a copy of the book. I've pulled it and it's in my office. But I can't find my Lotta Dragon doll. I know I have one. I bought it at CSLA two years ago. I even brought it to show my chiropractor who had recommended the book. Which I also bought.

I can't find either one.

And it's so freakin' hot I don't want to go up in the attic yet again.

I'm so tired of not being able to find anything. I must own three hammers because every time I can't find one, I end up going and buying another.

I have about 30 pairs of scissors for the same reason. LOL. And they were never where I needed them.

So, now I have scissors in every room in the house--and sometimes more than one pair.

It is pleasantly cool and fall like here. I love it. Yesterday was a perfect day. 64 and sunny in the afternoon. Of course, in the morning it was 52 and drizzly and gray.

Yuck.
