I really should have....

REALLY - should have just pulled the covers over my head and gone back to sleep this morning... oh nothing earth shattering has gone on, but my get up and go is still at home and asleep with the dogs... (and there is NO need to say anything about getting up with fleas.. my dogs don't have fleas!)

The rest of of me is here - at work - wondering why.   Again nothing earth shattering at work, as a matter of fact things are very quiet... zzzzz... I do have a course to complete but going through this thing is like walking through Kay-ro syrup in February.  (it's slow - just in case you didn't get the visual)  After the coffee kicks in I will face that nightmare... I have a mentor protege thing for a few hours this afternoon, which should prove to be equal parts useless and a change of my usual day.   We'll see - I have a list (I know!) of things I want to chat up my mentor about... so we'll see.

Since I have not posted all week - let me detail some of the goings on this week - Monday starts with a bit of worry that it was going to be icy and crappy weather - the Federal government had Sunday night allowed folks to come in late... me I was up the usual hour and went with the "if the pups don't slip and slide - must be alright" method of determining route into work... Dogs were up, out no worries - but was grey, foggy and icky... not to mention humidity you can see.. never makes for a good hair day.

So up, dressed, together, into work, all uneventful and unremarkable -- almost makes you long for the days of the Deep South Idiot Women doesn't it?  Me?  Not so much -thank you.  I enjoy working where plotting the murder of another person isn't a daily occurrence.   Call me kooky!

Monday night, to the Vet for Violet drugs (refill) stop off for some cash for the cleaning lady (LOVE cleaning lady Tuesdays)  home, pups, hanging out, crock pot dinner turned out pretty good, not a whole lot of sauce --but in my world not such a big deal... then... up dressed to ladies' Group meeting - get there... and the parking lot is EMPTY.   AH - what the heck... call one person no answer - call the President... they cancelled the meeting because old people don't want to drive in wet and fog... she sent an email (later learned at 5:00 PM!)  and "said" she tried to call me - and yet home since 4:30 - and no voice mail on either phone.... hummmm

So mad, unhappy and all sorts of ticked off home again 10 minutes later... in comfy clothes, loving the pups and settled in for the night. No clue when Bubba might make an appearance... at 9:45 ish... dogs out - headed to bed... Bubba came home sometime Monday night as I heard him and promptly went back to sleep...

Tuesday began much like Monday.. up, dressed... bla bla bla... at work, all quiet, staff meeting - which are not nearly as entertaining as the previous job - but again see the murder plot thing -- and frankly this stress level is SOOO much better - really.  Home again, tend to pups then head to see a dear old friend.  She called making room for her new live in beau and she doesn't need the formal wear... so she called me.  We chatted for almost 2 hours it was so nice to see her and to see her so very happy!  So home, picked up some fast food for dinner - as I told Bubba he was getting leftovers and since I had eaten same for dinner and lunch - wasn't having it for a third meal...

Home - No Bubba... why was I surprised (said he'd be home 7 - walked in 7:50) . And frankly when he got home he was such a grumpy gus I wanted him to go back to work!!!   So dealt with life, yes I nuked his dinner - and between you and me... I frankly thinks he comes home later counting on the fact I will be home and he won't have to fend for himself... and what does that say about me?

I may drink lunch today.

*sigh*.... sweeping that thought away because it's too freaking close to home... back to grumpy gus the wonder accountant... he gets home, and the first thing he does is snatch the remote.. tape the hockey game - which he could have just watched... but no --- so I watch something while he eats and is -at the same time- slumped over his computer doing something - when I dare question him "What are you doing?"  As I didn't see the computer I just saw Bubba all hunched over t the side of the TV tray.   Of course the response was "cranky" is the most polite word I can use there... and let's leave it at that.

We also won't discuss when I looked over and saw him slumped there was a slight hesitation to say anything before checking the status of his life insurance payment.. but I didn't... see?  Not so horrible after all.  Really... look thinking and doing are two different things - and if you think I wouldn't check to make sure my husband wasn't slumped over his stew... really people.   Seriously - mostly - yeah I'd check.  (what!?)

Ahem.  Moving on to Wednesday... his hump day is seriously starting to look like Everest... but we're at the mid point of the day...with a mid point of the week - and I don't have to go anywhere tonight... and there is no prediction of frozen rain coming down from the sky either in the form of ice or snow.  There is talk of wet rain (is there any other kind?  Like dry ice?... something to ponder with lunch today...)  ANY way... the week is reaching the apex with a hopeful nice slide into Friday.. Please?

Stay warm, stay dry and stay sane... the first two easier than the last....
