I did get a full nights sleep last night, getting to bed by 21:00 and getting up at 05:00 this morning.
Karen was planning on going to work this morning, but Lacee called and wanted to come over shortly after 08:00, so I told her that grandma was sleeping but that she could come over and wait for her to get up... Kim was taking Patrick to his soccer game, and Lacee didn't want to go.
And she did, and waited impatiently until about 09:00... I woke Karen up then and she got up about the time that Kim and Patrick came back.
I went out to the back deck and started getting the radial arm saw ready to use... it took me about two hours and a medium-sized can of WD-40 to get it cleaned up. It's been setting there for about four years with a tarp over it... helluva way to take care of a tool, huh?
But anyway, it's ready to go now, as soon as I get ready to start tearing up the deck board by board.
I've decided to take the playhouse/swing set down, since none of the kids play on it any more, anyway... I built it out of redwood from the front deck, and I will use it to patch up the back deck.
Karen finally went to work about 10:30 and worked until about 13:00... I was getting ready to go take a nap when she got home, and I talked her into giving me a back-rub. Unfortunately, it didn't work... the nap, I mean, the backrub was great.
But there is still time to get a good nap in, since I don't have to be there until 21:00.
And the cable connection is down again, I wonder what happened this time, dammit? I need my connection!
19:52...
I would try to sleep for 30 minutes, then get up for an hour, repeat until completely tired, then go to work.
I probably wouldn't do this if they didn't pay me. Well, not work extra, anyway. Like, it's fun, but not that much fun.
I'm interested to see how much I will sleep tomorrow... my guess is that I'll be in bed by 10:00 and sleep until midnight. Then it'll be Monday, and I'll need to stay up on Tuesday night to get turned around (hah!) so I can work Wednesday.
This working crap is interfering with my life. Or is it the other way around? Sometimes I feel kinda lost on my weeks off... like I really need to have something to do. The problem is, I have plenty of stuff to do, just nothing that I really want to do. Want is a big motivator for me. On the other hand, I don't want to appear to be lazy, although I pretty much am by most peoples' definition...
Tomorrow is my mother's birthday! (I hope it wasn't yesterday or the day before...) Tell her to have a happy one!
Well, I need to get one more cuppa coffee down before I go... more tomorrow!
Well, no sleep for me, looks like 26 hours of being awake. Dammit, I wonder how I do it. It's a good thing that I can bitch here and not take it out on my friends and my cat, heh.
