The Dust Bunnies in My Head..

As luck would have it.. my computer has frozen up solid twice in the last week, and this last time it happened as I finished my update for the night. As usual, this second draft will pale in comparison to the first now, as I'm late, tired, and cranky. I apologize in advance.

It was well after one this morning when the folks finally got home. I growled at Mom for not coming home sooner so we could work on pricing the big pile of yard sale stuff on the kitchen table. I told her we needed to stay up late and work on it, but she wasn't having any part of that plan. She told me I needed to get up early. I reminded her that I had gotten up early every day last week for her, and that she needed to stay up late with me, for once. She refused, and went to bed unhappy, and consequently, so did I.

I got up early, and we've been working on this house every since. We've gone through nearly every cabinet and cubby hole in here to clean, throw out things she didn't need, and find anything worthy of a yard sale. We just finished up and it's almost two in the morning. The place really looks awesome though. You can actually open closet doors and things don't fall out at your feet. Wayne's been upset most of the night, yelling at us for throwing out things that were perfectly good things.. and looking over our shoulders to make sure we didn't throw away anything he might need one day. He's worse than my mother.. pack-rat, lol.

Mom and I are a bit concerned about the weather this weekend. There's a 30% chance of rain. We don't know if we should put everything in the yard where we'll have plenty of room for all the tables, and risk the rain, or cram everything in the garage where people would have trouble moving around, but things stay dry. It's a conundrum, to be sure. I guess we'll just have to hope the skies stay clear for the weekend, and press our luck.

The only other news of the night is that poor Dave seems to be coming down with a bit of a cold. It's muggy and hot, and he's shivering in an over-sized sweatshirt. His stuffy nose won't stop running, and he's got a sensitivity headache coming on. He just took a steaming hot shower, and he's been resting most of the night. Hopefully, the bug doesn't keep him down for long.

I was supposed to hear back from the doctor about my chest x-rays today. I did get a call, but it was just a stupid voice recorded robot telling me I had a new appointment for Friday afternoon, right in the middle of our yard sale day. I canceled it. What is the world coming to when the doctor, or at least the nurse.. can't call you and let you know you have a follow up exam with them? It might even be nice to find out if I have other plans already, or not. I was directed to call and make another appointment as soon as possible by the robot doctor. I'll think about it.

It looks like I'll be forced to get up early again tomorrow. We've got one day left to finish pricing this stuff. We haven't even started on the enormous pile of clothing Mom dumped outside in the garage today.. so we better make the day count. We have a lot of setting up and organizing to do tomorrow too. It should prove to be a long day, but it'll be fun. It's been nice spending so much extra time with Mom and Dave. Thanks for joining us again this evening, and until next time.. Much Love, Many Hugs, and Good Night to You All.
