feel better today
Not sure I had a fever last night though I napped for about 2 1/2 hours on the couch.
I have one elbow that has dry skin/bites/something that's been itching off an on for a couple weeks. My other elbow is as soft as a baby's butt. Really, I don't have dry skin. This is annoying. There are little bumps on it...I wish I had sharp fingernails to scratch! My rounded ones do nothing.
I met the cat I'll be sitting for--looks like Elektra though even fatter. Friendly and pretty easy to care for, just once a day.
It's for a single guy. Do single guys not care that their houses are a mess when people come over? Hell even when my parents comes over, I clean first! At least tidy, if not sweep/dust. Dad will be at my place twice next week for bball games so part of tomorrow will be spent cleaning. Anyway, this guy's house was very cluttered. Mine is like that too, but not when people are coming over. Mars/Venus thing?
Then met mom and we went to the antique store in North Lawrence for the open house. Lots of holiday items and so damn cheap. All the antique places up there are cheap. I don't know how they stay in business. I spent $28 and got a metal bucket painted blue with snowmen, a metal shallow bowl that matches, and a vintage gold purse. Mom got a five piece serving set (platter, small platters, trivet, bowl) with holy leaves from the 1950s that cost $45.00, so $8.00 a piece. Several other women were buying up holiday items, too, so the owner was doing good business, I guess. I suppose rent is really cheap.
None of the other stores are doing open houses but they're all open next weekend (most are only open on weekends, including Fridays, which I guess also cuts down on overhead) so mom and I'll go there after the open houses at Brits and Au Marche. Helps that KU football plays the one Big 12 game we have a shot in hell of winning (Iowa State) that evening.
Then I discovered that they finally opened Iowa St. after endless months of redoing a six block or so stretch. On Wednesday it was still down to one lane each direction but they were powerblasting the east side--must have been the finishing touches. Finally can go the speed limit again. The cops were very sneaky--the 'end construction signs' in both directions were a good two blocks AFTER the road widened out on both sides and they were catching people speeding up from 25 to 40 all the time.
Then I got home and discovered the city replaced my mini-dumpster with one of their upright cans. *sigh* I'm very short; I can't lift heavy trash that high. Also, even though they're both 95 gallons, I don't like the configuration for big items. Not that I would, but I could get a tv in my old dumpster. No way in the new can. :P
(big break while boss--in a better mood today--was here)
Just watched Glee. Why is the perfect artist for me to sing rangewise Miley Cyrus for fuck's sake????? I've already sung one of her songs at church. *head desk* "Wrecking Ball" is perfect for me.
And now boss is back...
So, behind on tv due to napping last night. I didn't get home last night until 7:00 so only got the two comedies watched and my soap. *sigh* Parents' tonight, so will probably only get the shows watched after I get home that are on tonight, and then football, cleaning and hopefully writing tomorrow.
I need to sign up for Wish List, too, but did get signed up for a TW secret santa and another thing. It's that time of year when lots of writing gets done. :)
Well, better get to work...again...
