I finally made it!
I told myself on Tuesday, after the day I had, that I'd have to drop in and fill you all in on the day I'd gone through. Well...I never made it on Tuesday, and now for the life of me, can't really remember why. lol Probably for the same reason as last night, when I had told myself that since I didn't make it in on Tuesday, that I really needed to touch base with you all then, but, by the time I'd messed with groups, emails, spending some time watching TV, and so forth, it was going on 2am, and I was so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open. So, I promised myself that when I got home today...one of the FIRST things I was going to do was finally get this email written, and be able to say "HI"!
So...with me taking Monday off for Lee's test, Tuesday was like TOTAL CHAOS, at work. As usual, nothing got mailed on Sat., or Sunday, but Aaron does take orders off the internet, and finds the books and gets them ready to ship. Then Monday, me gone, nothing got mailed that day either, but orders still kept coming in. Tuesday morning, Lee wasn't feeling too whoopie', still...so decided to stay home from work and rest up a bit more. So, my mind already wasn't on work, thinking more about him being here, and how he was feeling. There were dishes from Sat., Sun., and Mon....so, the kitchen is where I always start first. It's what I really hate the worst to do. Then of course there was let Buddy out...the dog, feed and water him, feed the fish. There was some laundry to do, so got that started, also had both bathrooms to clean, baseboards, tubs, stools..the whole works. There were some plants Aaron got that had to be redone. I got some of that done on Tuesday too. There were some oil spots in the garage, so he wanted something to try and be done with them, so we don't drag it into the house. His girlfriend has a cat, and he had some catlitter, so I was able to get the oil soaked up, and much better than it was. Aaron and Mary spent the weekend and Monday cleaning out his garage, so....the garage looked GREAT....but....I think at least 50% of what WAS in the garage...key word here WAS....was/is now sitting in the middle of the living room floor, and also fills up most of the floor in the office. lol For reasons I won't mention here...I wasn't able to get upstairs and do the stuff up there I normally do as soon as I'm done downstairs. It was after 2 before I ever even got to the upstairs, and I still hadn't even gotten a list yet from Aaron, on books that needed to be collected to ship that day. Of course, the mailman had already come, and we hadn't even begun to start packaging them up, much less having them ready. I had no idea what was instore for me....lol
I finally got the list from Aaron...4 pages...we usually have about 1- 1 1/2 pgs...and...this did not include the ones he already had hunted up for the previous 3 days. By the time we got everything package, and my backseat loaded(remember, I have to take these to the post office too)...it was 4:30. I had, if I recall right, 10 boxes, and approximately 30-35 large mailing envelopes. My back seat was FULL! I finally drove away from the post office, and headed home, just around 5. So...Tuesday was quite the long day...compared to the norm. Yesterday, wasn't too bad. I think we both wanted to take it easy after Tuesday...lol. Yesterday I was just there a couple of hrs. And today, wasn't to extreme either. lol I did clean out the fridge, and also the freezer..he had a soda blow up...lol I've sure seen them make worse messes than this one did. Tomorrow, looks like I am going to be shopping. I guess we're going to buy shelves, and try to get more stuff back off the floor. It wasn't looking too bad, till the garage got cleaned. I'm not sure how many he wants to get, but he did mention that he has gone to all 3 Wal Mart's before, and bought them out at each store...they usually only have 2-3, he said... So, something tells me I may be hitting all three stores tomorrow, and may come home with a bunch of shelves. Guess it's a good thing I have a big car. Hopefully, it won't be so many that I have to make two trips. Then comes the task of having to put all of them together. I've done just one since I've been there, but they're not hard. Gee...I'm game to try anything ...usually. Lee did come home one day surprised that I had bought a ceiling fan, and installed it myself. I've put a few computer desks together too, in my time, so these shelves weren't bad at all. If we can get 8-9 shelves tomorrow, wow...we can get ALOT of books off the floor!!! That will make tons of a difference! plus, make alot more available to our customers, when we can get these index and listed on the site.
Well, enough about work. What else has been going on? Tuesday....the "crazy " day...was my birthday...the big 5 3! Maybe that's why it was so strange a day. lol I guess I can say one thing, that even though I was a yr. older, I was still able to keep up with that mess on Tuesday. It just dawned on me, that I could look at it as now being 52. Afterall, I haven't completed my 53 yr yet...so how can i be that old. I remember there was some arguing about that over the yr. 2000....So, I may just consider myself to be 52...being that I've completed that many years in my life. Guess that just means I'm a yr. yonger than I thought i was. lol We were broke, down to our last few bucks, so we didn't do anything for my birthday. Lee was already home for the day, and after the day I had, I just came home, got comfortable in my slippers, and spent an enjoyable evening with Lee, playing on the puter, and watching TV. It was a great day, even if there wasn't alot of hoopla!
I came home today...and buzzed Landon...he's online. So, I've been talkin' off and on to him while I'm writing this email. He just buzzed me and said that his power had gone off. i hadn't even noticed that he'd gone off line. He goes sometime between conversations at times, so I just figured he was doing something else. He said they were working on the electic lines where he lives. I just tried sending him a message..wanted to ask him something, but he's not answering. something tells me that maybe the power has gone out again. lol I may just have to call him. I thought I'd see if Amanda is working tonight, and if she is, if he'd like to come on into town, and spend the evening here, rather than at home alone. Oh well...he buzzed..just slow in answering...lol
It is really blowing here. I can hear my trash cans blowing in the neighbors drive way,....you can pick them up over and over again. There are trash cans blowing up and down the street, all of them empty from the trash pick up today, and being tossed around by the winds like a little piece of hay. One by one they will get picked up as people come home from their day's work, and may often have to even hunt for their lids...or make a trip into the neighbors yard to retrieve their can. It is sunny and beautifully warm, but I do believe that some thunderstorms are suppose to come in later this evening. It is rather grey/blue looking to the west, which is where we get all our storms from. We had a little thunderboomer hit us last night. We had heavy wind and rain, and pea to moth ball size hail. Nothing to drastic. It did blow my big palm over, and it naturally had to land ontop of another plant...smashing it almost beyond recongnition. But, once the rain stopped, I was able to look at it, and work on it a bit, and I don't think any of it broke, or I lost any. This is good. The hail was a little rough on my petunias. My drive way is plattered with little colorful bits of petals. But, all in all they don't look too bad...considering. The guy across the street from us, lost a big chunk out of his tree. 1/2 the tree is laying on the ground, and very close to his front window. We're not sure if it was the wind, or lightening. I haven't heard anyone say.
Well, I've gone on and one here. Guess it's time to head out. Moriah will be home in a bit, and I'll see what landon has found out about coming over or not. If he doesn't, I think I'll just have Lee meet us somewhere for a burger, or something...so I don't have to cook. It can be my birthday dinner! lol
I'll be back later to check in and see what's going on. Hope you have all had a great day, and hope you have a good evening!
Much love,
Lev
