A Day Off???

Yesterday I did not go into work, did I get to stay home, relax in the sun with dogs, enjoying quiet contemplation of life's higher ideals?  Do you know me?  Do you read this regularly?  

No no no boys and girls - yesterday was petal to the metal and go go go.... after a night of what I can only describe as medically induced torture.   Another sleep study test where I had to wear a "mask" of sorts where two probes were not so gently crammed into my nose then this jet-propelled air was forced into my nose - it was like trying to breath while all the force of a speeding car is being forced up your nose.   and did I mention the head gear?  Probes, the monitors wrapped around yous?  Yeah - "sleep" study was more like watch Aunt Ing toss and turn and rip off that thing 12-15 times a night.  So at 6AM when I arrived home, I let the dogs out, made sure they went - went back to bed to get some sleep.  90 minutes later when my eyeballs opened again I had more restful nap than I did all freaking night long.   So, up moving, shower out the gunk in my hair, breakfast, emails, Ladies Group paperwork, deposit and checks, Girl Group Stuff, written, edited and printed, changed a print cartridge in the big printer, got Violet to the Vet, make bank deposit, went to my bank for cash, deposited Violet home, got my hair done (ahhhh) went shopping at the Trader Joe's had quite the list from Bubba, got home, tended to the pups, completed the Girl's group stuff, rushed to the Dr.'s office (30 minutes early... ah well) that done, to the post office I got everything mailed, off to the regular grocery store for final pickup, home finished doggie blanket laundry, cooked chicken, made enchiladas, and took 45 minutes to sit down and read my book.  Oh yeah, fed the dogs, and picked up the house for the munchies party Saturday, and met with the guy handling our retirement accounts.

Let me contrast that with my darling husband's day:  Up before 5 AM, let dogs out, feed them, left note for wife, dressed in work out clothes, brushed teeth, put in contacts, worked out with trainer, went to work, called the wife prepared to add to her day off list - (quickly killed THAT idea) came home, met with Finance guy, ate dinner, went to bed.

(pausing to collect myself and not plot murder or at least a little mayhem....)

Ahem.  all better.  Really.  Don't ask a lot a questions already will you?  Really.  all better.

So today - up early, to work - ah Fridays nice and quiet doing work type stuff, leaving early... shopping for the munchies party because I forgot my list yesterday, then home, clean the kitchen, make sure that second bedroom is ready for company - Nana and Niece M are coming to visit!!! and then maybe be in bed by oh say 8:30 PM.  :-)

Enjoy your weekend I will post Nana and party visit!!!
