It's Friday tomorrow right?

A busy day spent working in one place, trying to deal with issues in another - a recipe for frustration. The trip to the facility lends the opportunity for errand running though. I managed to pick up a single inflatable bed and pump, set of sheets and pillows for potential house guests on Thanksgiving weekend, TIDE and a watch strap which doesn't fit my watch so the next meeting day will include returns on my errand list. There was also a book fair in the hospital lobby so I managed to pick up some cute gifts. The meetings however, were not nearly as much fun but...today was pay day.

I did arrive home to find that mister had sorted the piles of paperwork he'd dumped out of drawers looking for a car registration paper this morning. This was required as the cleaning lady comes in the morning and must have surfaces to clean. He always sighs when I announce this although...he usually has no or very limited picking up tasks, he doesn't want to do the housework himself, he likes the house to be clean and realizes this is the only way it's going to happen while I'm living here. Funny about that eh?

This evening was a waiting for boats while watching several sporting events at once with the ADHD / remote activity on high, "oh we'll unload in the morning" kind of evening for the shore captain. I arrived home from dog walking to find him engrossed in a travel documentary about Cuba and said "things are going to have to get pretty bad for us not to make it there this February" as we both regretted not making it this past winter and watching the program brought all that back. So the last two weeks of Feb. are likely to be spent NOT SHOVELING!

Tomorrow is Friday but as a colleague mentioned today "this has been the longest week I was willing to believe two days ago it was Friday the way I felt" There has been a lot of non-specific anger in the system lately and that is exhausting. Tough times. Sad when the highlight of your day is planning a passport photo session - but running away requires planning in order to be appropriately spontaneous.
