Not feeling my best today. Newell even let me sleep in.
I did get most of the dishes washed, and took care of a couple of errands, but I really feel drained. I’m going to try to do some laundry, but I think the rest of today is a lost cause. I do need to get back to work, but I don’t think I have the energy today.
Best laid plans…
Today Newell didn’t feel safe driving in alone, in case he needed a driver because he had a relapse. Can’t argue with a safety issue.
Besides, the car needed gas, and it was primary day in Texas, so we went to vote and then I went down to the river while he was at work.
Saw some AMAZING butterflies:
Not sure what they were besides gorgeous…
I did clear part of the trash from the back of the car, but that was the extent of my usefulness today. After several hours in the sun/heat…all I want to do is veg since I got home.
He thinks he may be up to going it alone tomorrow. I hope so…because I have a LOT of catching up to do.
I’ve been very lucky. I don’t have any family currently serving in the military, and no close friends who had to go to war. But I deeply respect the men and women who have put themselves in harm’s way for my freedoms and safety. On this Memorial Day, I thought about that off and on all day. I hope you did too.
Newell is hoping to go to work tomorrow. I don’t know if he is feeling one hundred percent, but he is in the middle of a project, and doesn’t want to lose momentum.
I really rather hope he feels up to it, because I never get anything done when he is home. Even if we only sit at our respective computers doing our own things, at least we are in the same room together. I feel bad if I go off and do something else — especially if it is something I really would rather not do anyway, like dishes. 
But tomorrow, I have to wash them, whether he goes to work or not. And no playing EQ2 until I do!
I am planning on using the desire to play as my incentive to put in my three hours of work early. That way I am free to do as I please the rest of the day. Doesn’t that sound like a plan?
I did get the litter boxes cleaned and my plants watered today, so the day wasn’t TOTALLY wasted. Just about 99% of it. 
Found a market to submit to, though, so it was a good day to me.
Talk to you guys tomorrow.
Yeah, I know, I’ve already used a Willie Nelson song, but what can I say? This totally defines my mind set at the moment. So looking forward to being able to head to the grocery store, or visit my best friend, or just go cruising after sooo long without a vehicle of my own. I dearly love my darling husband, but sharing a car for the last six months has been a trial.
Taking advantage of double experience points in EQ2 this weekend, I have been playing a lot and little else. I had missed my MMORPG.
Here is my little rogue, Tysche, recreated EQ2 style:
The one thing I really like about EQ2 that you couldn’t do in Everquest is the ability to buy and decorate a character house. This is Tysche’s Kelethin bedroom — complete with the trophies she’s won “studying” other races.
Still have a bit of nausea if I play for extended periods though, so I reached my limit for the day. Back to static Facebook or Pogo games for the rest of the night.
Hell. For the first time all year I missed a day. And I should have remembered after we got home from the hospital to post it…
Let me start a bit earlier. Newell asked me to drive in with him yesterday because he had a sore throat and had slept badly, and wanted me to make sure he didn’t fall asleep. So I went to the office with him instead of driving around for the truck.
The office closed early for the holiday, and he asked me to check and see if our doctor could see him. No. They were full, so we went to the ER. He was shaking so bad from the combination of his fever and their air conditioning that he couldn’t even fill out the whole form. And his blood pressure was through the roof. They had him on IV fluids for about three hours, and took a lot of blood for tests. Then they sent us home with Amoxicillin and pain medication and he went to bed.
I’ve been sitting up playing EQ2 with a friend to take my mind off it, but I totally forgot to make a post in time. So…my bad. And I was so determined not to miss a day. *Sigh* The best laid plans…
Heading to bed now. Will update later in the day.
UPDATE ONE: SERIOUSLY wish I could sleep with the sun up. Was up before 7:30 again. At least Newell says he feels better this morning. And — drumroll please! — my truck passed inspection, so she is totally legal now! I am on the road again. SO excited to be able to get around. 
Probably will be a laid-back weekend. After all, it is a holiday.
Take some time to remember why if you are in the States.
Still haven’t gotten out and driven yet. Been doing computer things. And washing clothes, so not a totally unproductive day. Still, I would like to have that inspection done. I should at least pop up to Cheddar’s. I was going to head for the Salt Lick for lunch, but it is kind of late for that now.
May be just a little day again.
UPDATE ONE: After a debate with myself, I decided not to go out to lunch at all. I may take a drive tonight to rack up some miles, but there was too much to do today to get out of the house. And I didn’t need to spend the money after all. Maybe tomorrow. Though I do need to switch the truck to the other side of the garage…
5/31/12
Another fruitless day. I’ve felt nasty all day, and got nothing done. I TRIED to get Sunshine to a groomer this morning, but the conflicting information I got made that a wasted trip. I have a lead on somewhere else that might be able to help him, but not until Wednesday.
My insides have been trouble today. I am really sick of feeling sick…but it’s nothing doctor worthy. Tomorrow being Friday, I may take it easy so that I am back to normal on Monday. Sorry the blog has been dull lately. I really DO want to get back to cleaning, though I think there are too many new restrictions placed on things to get to have my party for the 4th. I don’t think I can get the carpets cleaned before then, for instance.
Still, it is a goal, and I’ll keep working toward it. Maybe a miracle will happen.
