Here I am in VA again. The weather is nice, cool, and low humidity. I'm loving it, but the sinuses and eyes aren't very happy with it. Tonight I was in hoover mode. When I travel alone, I pretty much stay in room the whole time and work on stuff from the office and watch TV. So my first stop was the Super Target across the highway to stock up on edibles. Got a fridge and microwave and all the comforts of home...mostly. I don't have my puppy with me and I miss her at night. I'm used to sharing a bed with Lexi and it typically takes me a night or two to get used to having the whole bed to myself. The other thing I'm not crazy about is the bed covers in the hotels are so dang heavy. I can't stand heavy stuff on my feet. So typically I tear the bed apart just so I can get comfy.
I did manage to get the house mostly clean and the laundry pretty taken care of and the trash got put out. I'll just have a flood of bills to take care of. Saturday is back to the Patch. I really enjoy my time there, but it was pretty slow last Saturday. I guess since it was the first pretty day we've had in a very long time folks decided to take advantage of it by doing other things. Everything was soggy and we had to cancel the movie in the patch. Friday night we're supposed to have a movie night again, but when I left town it was supposed to start raining again Wednesday and continue through the weekend. I tell you everything smells like wet dog outside when we get this much rain.
I've been having 'words' with the satellite folks again. Their days are numbered. Next July my contract ends and they are out of there. I'll switch to cable. Mom has that and it works pretty good. They have some issues with the phone, but at least when it get cloudy she still has TV. When I left my modem was down too. So I get to fight about that too. Sometimes I feel like I do a lot of that lately...about getting things fixed, paying things (typically not on time these days).
I find myself planning how to spend my lottery winnings. I got one hell of a plan too. Now I just need to start buying tickets. Last time I was going to buy one, all I could come up with was 50 cents...I never have cash on me anymore and when I do it's to pay a bill. It just sucks wind big time. I'm hoping to get some OT in the coming months, but I'm not going to hold my breath. Second job is looking mighty good, if I could manage to clone myself I'd have it made.
Well the Bones rerun I'm sort of watching is about over, and I'm tired. This time change thing just about kills me. At least this isn't the weekend that time actually changes. At least this time around I gain an hour of sleep. As a kid that sort of thing never bothered me, but now that I'm an old person I'm really jealous of my sleep time.
Later days dears!
