Late night

Last nite I ended up working until just after midnight. I had such a headache last nite that it made me sick to my stomach. I had a hard time sleeping but at least I got to sleep later today and not come in until noon. I still don’t feel quite...

Sleep aways escapes me

I’m so tired today that I am having trouble keeping my eyes open. I wish I could take a nap. Thankfully the day at work is almost done for me. I needed to go get an oil change in the car but I decided to blow it off and not call to schedule...

Good friends visit

Last nite, Kristine came by and brought me dinner and kept me company to help keep my sanity since I’m trapped in the house while recovering. It was nice to have company since I’m starting to get cabin fever big time. She brought me...

Ruffin’ it

You never realize how much you use a kitchen sink or counter tops until you don’t have any! It is gonna be a long couple of weeks until that stuff comes in. After I drove home in the usual crap traffic (during...

Ugh!

Ever have one of those days where nothing at all seems to go right? This morning before leaving for work, I had to spend 15 minutes on the phone with ATT to get my internet working again, when that was finally done, I...

Back to the grind

Finally back at work. It felt like I was gone longer than the 4 day weekend I ended up having. It is super-deluxe hot out today and it was raining earlier. I hope I don’t have any record packages sitting on my...

A Monday I’d rather forget

Had to stay home from work again today so they could finish the cabinets in the kitchen. It looks awesome, but of course I still don’t have coutertops, a sink and my dishwasher isn’t hooked up. I’ll be...

Sunday – the day of rest?

Went to the two shows last nite. The Puerto Rican parade was yesterday so Western Ave was just chaos. People driving up and down the street honking their horns and waving thier flags. It was an endless sea of cars. I...
