Now is the time where we freak out on Sprockets
There's so much still to get done before the party on Monday (if you missed the party invite, scroll down... unless you're Not Friended, in which case, don't bother ;} ). I've been chipping away at the Piles Of Crap, with generous amounts of video game vegging to calm me down in between bouts of activity, but there's still So Much left.
I don't think things would be so bad, except that I have to work tomorrow. I usually don't work on Fridays, but our barn manager is "out of town" so I'm covering for her. The last time I worked on a Friday, my rabbit died. Maybe that's part of my crankiness, now.
So, yeah... I should have another full day to devote solely to party preparations, but I don't. I'll be able to get a bit accomplished after work Friday-Sunday, but I'm so exhausted after work that I'm really not expecting to get much done those nights.
The house is still covered in unpacked boxes. Hallowe'en decorations still need to go up. I need to dye my hair. I need to figure out what I'm wearing (Squeezums has a plan, but I'm not sure how well it will work... mostly because I'm not thrilled w/ what he wants me to be, & I have no idea what I'd wear... but I love couples' costumes & I hate to say "no, sorry, I'm not doing that", especially because I have no better ideas that I haven't done a bunch of times before). I need to figure out what to do w/ my brother's cat (she's currently living in the utility room, which is where the 1/2 bath is... I can't imagine we'll have a party full of people going to the bathroom w/o letting the cat out). I need to clean the ferret cage & give Fairy a bath. The bathrooms & kitchen need to be cleaned. Floors need to be swept. Tables need to be excavated.

Spent most of today carting boxes from the house to our storage shed. That little endeavor was rather hampered by intermitent rain. On one of my last few (of approximately half a billion) trips from the house to the shed in the backyard, I managed to trip over the cord to some of our solar lights, & killed 3 of the 4. Did I mention that Squeezypet only just meticulously re-wired them after I ran the cord over w/ the lawnmower? Obviously, I'm not to be trusted with anything corded. My very last trip to the shed, I knocked over a stack of cat carriers, only to find that the little accessory compartment in the top of one of them was filled with some sort of viscous mystery fluid. o_O It smells motor-oily & is dark greenish. I can't imagine how it got into the cat carrier, but now it's splattered over a goodly portion of stuff in the shed. It was at that point that I decided to cut my losses & drink myself into unconsciousness.
I don't know why I'm stressing about party preparations... we were so late inviting people, it'll be a miracle if more than 5 people show up.
