Yes, you read that right - Maryland. Not Green Bay,WI Not Minnesota or any other freezing a$$ place - but Maryland mid-Atlantic state.
Today Monday it will be an almost enjoyable 40 something degrees... tonight... single digits... and the HIGH! temperature will not crack 25 degrees for the rest of the freaking week!
I am so tired of winter.
This weekend saw highs and lows, Friday night I enjoyed the Kennedy Center National Symphony Orchestra... then drove home and realized it was 10:45 PM and I had been awake and moving since 5 AM in the morning even. I got home and went to bed. I was tired!
Saturday was very mellow - I finished Season 2 of Downton Abby... and am waiting patiently for Seasons 3 and 4 to arrive from the drone using Amazon... Tuesday. Question -- would it be wrong to take a few days off to watch Seasons 3 and 4? You know just to catch up? Yeah I thought so... this working for a living thing... oh hey! PowerBall is up to 171 million - I better go get my ticket!
I could retire on that - or half that post taxes and whatnot.
And now that we're back to reality ... and where was I before wandering off...
Oh yeah Saturday. Very Mellow - Bubba was off car shopping, he was test driving cars, as his beloved car is limping toward the end. When the turbos go - it will be ugly. I was home with Miss Shelby, we were happy, we were peaceful, we were napping - well mostly Shelby. I did clean the kitchen and do some laundry. It was so nice. Bubba and I found a new Mexican place for dinner enjoyed, and went home and well for me - proceeded to do what I did most of the day. Sit and be a blob. It was a good day.
Sunday had periods of high and low -- up early not so good, moving and dressed, away we went... to Downtown DC. We took the train, relatively no issues as there was track work - all forewarned. Of course it was cold... but we were bundled up, when we made our way out from the train, we wandered a bit - then found a lovely Irish Pub, with an equally wonderful brunch deal. Bottomless mimosa or bloody Mary with a lovely breakfast of your choice with fruit and muffins. Oh yeah... great breakfast, two orange colored glasses of champagne later and I was ready to tackle.... The Car Show....
We wandered, "we" ogled, "we" asked all sorts of car questions, "We" test drove a new car. I ate cookies at one stop and downed hot tea... Bubba was happy, it was a good day for him. My feet were tired, and the rest of me wasn't all that perky by the time we got home.
Up side, we stopped for pizza on the way home, and loved Shelby within an inch of her life.
I was in bed at 9 PM.
I still didn't want to get up Monday morning. Up side I have a massage tonight - 90 glorious minutes. Down side I have a Ladies' Group meeting AFTER.... groan. Why Yes, I will be napping why do you ask?
I am currently employing the "one day at the time" method of getting though the day...
More on Bubba later... it's a good time...
It is now Tuesday as the whooshing sound you heard last night was me - trying to get it all done. Got home, took Shelby for a walk got my stuff together for my meeting, left, massage... ahhhhhh, meeting zzzzzz, we had company longer than it should have been, then race back to the massage place thinking I lost my ruby ring... as I stood in the lobby I stuck my hand in my pocket - again... and there it was. Yep--- boys and girls Aunt Ing wins the dork prize again. Sigh.
Ah well.
It is now Tuesday morning, my eye balls popped open at 4 AM... then as I started to drift back to sleep --- the alarm went off. Yeah. So up, moving, COLD, out the door and back to work.
Up side lunch out with the office mate and it will be a good day.
I must document the saga that is Bubba's life... as previously mentioned his company has been sold. They have already laid off -- oh the lamenting and rending of garments in Bubba's world... oh the cost cutting Aunt Ing will have to endure if Bubba loses his job. Oh whoa unto.... bla de bla bla bla...
Bubba - relax. Breathe.... ride it out. They will warn you (I hope) they need you right now - just hang on then take those two weeks off you talked about - go see your Mama. Get out of my hair - go --- GO.
Upside to this week is he is too busy to be home, and I don't have to cook! Bonus! Downer - leftovers for dinner for Aunt Ing. Yeah like that is such a problem. I could go on and on, but it's the same broken record - we will have to cut back (meaning I will have to cut back) and oh the panic and worry. Cripes. We have a bit put by, we are OK for now. Yeah if you plan to sit home on your butt for 6 months - there will be major lifestyle changes but they are coming out of Bubba's hide first not mine.
I had freaking breast cancer and still had a paycheck coming in.... :-)
No not bitter why do you ask?
All righty signing off for a Tuesday morning in the still frozen tundra of freaking Maryland/Virginia/ NOT Wisconsin... cripes when is spring getting here??
