Today was supposed to be a day where I actually accomplished a few things. Nothing major, just a few things on my ongoing daily (mental) to-do list that I would have liked to finish.
I wanted to create a few new sig tags and Incredimail letters to add to Jen’s Pixel Place. I wanted to dust and sweep the apartment. I wanted to cook a wonderful meatloaf dinner for James who deserves much better than that, but hey, he’s an amazing guy with simple tastes and my meatloaf works for him. I wanted to do dishes so the kitchen didn’t look like a dirty dishes factory. I wanted to take the puppy for a walk with Val. I wanted to make good on my resolution (and need) to express myself here daily.
Instead, battling a headache verging on a migraine, I managed to do the dishes. That’s all folks.
So now, I’m sitting here, James asleep with Scooter (the puppy) and Simba (the cat) in the bedroom, with 92 windows open on the PC so I can work on sig tags, go through my inbox, etc, etc.
At least I heard from some family today. Dad called to offer condolences on James’ mom’s death last Wednesday. Late, but that’s Dad. He updated me on his feet. No, not out of the blue, lol. He had surgery last week on them to correct his deformed toes. He’s now in walking casts on both feet and doing well. He was actually very sweet for my pops…said he knows things are tough for me, with losing Mom last June and now James’ mom gone as well. I was touched. Also heard from crazy (in a mostly amusing way) Uncle Donald. He wanted to know if James and I wanted to buy his little pickup truck for $2000.00. Ummm, no I said. Considering James just went back to work yesterday after a 6 week lay off, I was pretty sure that wasn’t feasible for us at the moment. Or any moment in the near future considering the $4.51 we have right now. But at least he keeps in touch in his odd way. I really don’t hear from any family on Mom’s side other than him. A shame, really, and it hurts me if I think about it too often….so I don’t.
But, now Val has arrived to watch Big Brother with me and things are, all in all, okey dokey.
Hey! I just realized I accomplished writing this post so another to-do that is now to-done! Go me!
Night all and see ya tomorrow.
