THIS AND THAT

If you’re like most people your work day starts off the same way.  Sitting in front of your computer groggy and blurry eyed and reassuring yourself you can get through the day…after all, you have your coffee, and that’s a great thing.  You’re probably postponing that TPS report for another four minutes while you finish your pre-work internet surfing.  I mean, it would be rude to have all those sports teams play games all weekend long and then not care enough to check the scores—or have people take the time to write words and then post them for all to see and not read them.  Well you’re in luck Mr. or Ms. Internet surfer, I’ve got a decently long post which can push back that pesky report for another 30 seconds.

Friday felt like a true fall day.  Did the whole work things, blah blah blah.  In the evening we made the trip to an outlying suburb and watched my cousin play football.  His team won = awesome! Sitting in the rain = not awesome.  The fact he hurt his foot = super not awesome.

Saturday we hit the house with a 1-2 punch.  The entire house was cleaned.  Things were dusted and vacuumed, things were washed and scrubbed and things were organized and put away in proper places.  The whole house smelled clean and fresh—the smell of a job well done.  We were able to bask in the cleanliness for about an hour before the dog forgot the kitchen floor is not the same as grass outside.  I guess he got confused because both are green—too bad they’re not one in the same. 

Sunday was a mixture of happy and frustrated.  Happy the Packers won.  Frustrated at the initial bar selection.  Happy the dog didn’t pee in the house.  Frustrated he reverted to nipping ankles.  Happy to have groceries for the week.  Frustrated to be in Wal-Mart at 7:30 p.m.  So that was that. 

Overall an excellent weekend.  Oh, I’ve decided that it was a bit silly for me to think September would be the Month of Me (not is a selfish way but in a “get all my ducks in a row” kinda way).  So I’ve changed it up a bit…this is going to be the Week of Me.  Hopefully the smaller timeline will make it more doable.
