Par for the Course

My first weekend “free” from the theatre. Usually I’m walking into walls and asking for directions…while in my house. But I seem to be doing ok reacclimating myself to reality. Yesterday was some late sleeping, some civilized outings to the theatre and a late lunch/early dinner then home to rest on the couch and watch the new mini-series that is sure to become my latest obsession…all the while thinking of the things I wanted to get done today.

****UPDATE TO LIST. APPARENTLY I DID GET A BUNCH OF STUFF DONE TODAY!***

Laundry, specifically my sheets that have muddy cat prints on the bottom of them.
a few bits at the grocery store
a massage
buy my car tag
run the Dyson and dust, general picking up of the week’s bits and pieces lying around.
go by Lowes and check into getting some guttering put up on the front of the house.
landscaping books/idea books
talk to the landscaper about the backyard
drive to Tuttle to get our first delivery from the Organic Food Co-Op

Now. This doesn’t seem like too much to get finished today. Really. But for the fact that I didn’t get any sleep until I caved and took one PM pill at 2am…slept till about 10:30. Now gulping coffee, I’m starting to wake up and get a little motivated but lookie here! it’s 11:30! The morning is gone! gah. So…as is par for the course, I’ve set myself up to fail at getting anything done. I’m already thinking…meh. I can do this and that tomorrow, only really need to get this and that today…heh heh heh.

oh well. It’s my day off, and I’m going to do as much as I can without making myself nutso. I DID just talk to the landscaper. I’m getting a project manager out here today to give me a bid on leveling off the war zone in the back. Did I tell you about this guy? Ok. See…it helps to know a million people! (I’m pretty sure I know a million people but that’s a whole other post) A friend of mine who lives in Tulsa works for a big nursery/landscape place. He and I thought about flirting and perhaps more sometime last year…or was it the year before last? I cant remember. Anyways, that was a no way jose, we are just friends. He’s got about thirty kids and a wicked divorce, and I want no part of that drama. It didn’t stop me from calling him up and asking for a name of a good landscaper here in OKC area, which he provided, called in a favor and voila! I’m getting bids today! I may even use the guy to draw up a design for the front…then I can just make it myself! who knows. I told him my shoestring budget will be the deciding factor and he seemed to say, we’ll work with that don’t worry…that must be the favor. SOOOO….check that off my list as DONE today. I’m interested to see how much it’ll cost.

Ok. Ok. Just writing this has put a fire in my spirit. I’m up. Chris and Cindy are coming over tonight to divide the bounty and have a meal out of what we get…I’m going to spruce up the house and really? I may call and book a massage. I got a stipend from the theatre for doing the show that will just cover a massage…man. I really need one, too!

BIG BIG BIG love and support going out to PseudoSis 1 today. She’s starting a new work gig. It’s a temp thing but we’re excited about getting started. So…GOOD DAY TO YOU!!!

Happy Monday, ya’ll!
