A Couple of Nights Off
Wow… so this is what really really tired feels like. We’ve been going non-stop since we bought the latest rental house. So much to do… between working over there and shopping for it, plus trying to get some stuff done around here (all the leaves are finally raked, blown, and bagged… it’s a miracle) we haven’t had any time off. So this week we’ve sort of taken a time out. Monday night we actually went out to dinner. Just the two of us. We hit Henry’s Tavern. We talked. We enjoyed being together. We relaxed. We ate too much. Nice place. I think we’ll take Mary and Martin there some time during their next visit. We also walked through Powell’s on the way back to the car. Powell’s is always a good time. Last night I sat in front of the computer rating movies on Netflix for like two hours or something. I think I told S today that it was an hour… I was wrong. It was way closer to two. Very mindless, it was wonderful. I did that while poor Karen had to work late again last night. Her job is very stressful right now. Big do’ins in her business. Big go’ins on. I sat at my computer rating movies and she worked. Not fair. And what about my job you ask? My job has been very very busy of late. It goes in cycles and right now it’s cycling high. Has been steady for a couple of weeks now and for those of you who know what I do… well, let’s just say down time is good. Two hours of staring at movie titles and rating them was lovely. I feel like Goldie Hawn in Overboard… Genine, you know exactly what I mean. Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba… LOLOL Very fitting for our last two or three weeks.
So… I probably sound like I’m whining. I might be a little, but not really. Life is excellent. Just so much to do, not enough time, and a short supply of days to sleep in. :-) We’ll manage. We always do. We always get through the busy times and recover our sense and our sleep. Besides… next week we fly to Vegas to spend Thanksgiving with Karen’s family. We can’t wait. It will be a blast to hang with them in Sin City and also good to see Linda and Dan, if they can see us that is, for dinner one night while we’re there. Ah… next week. Let’s say it like a mantra…..
