Sunday saw the dramatic return of Imperator Bookstooge as he swept back into the blogosphere. Spheres of influence were shaken and the status quo destroyed as he vowed to take over Devilreads and make it safe for everyone, not just illiterate dumb dumbs who wouldn't know a good book if it hit them over the head. The Imperator knows he has a long struggle ahead of him and that defeat is most likely, but this has not deterred our intrepid hero. All Hail Imperator Bookstooge!
Monday was one of those days I got home from work and all plans evaporated because of how tired I was. I had visions of doing laundry, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, etc. 2 weeks ago we got hit by a snow storm that dumped over a foot of snow on us and it is sticking around. I'm trudging around each day through snow that has piled up to my knees in places. I come home exhausted.
Tuesday I was by myself as Short Round went with his wife to an ultrasound to see their newly conceived baby. It was a nice day (above freezing) and while the job sucked (to be fair, all jobs suck this time of year with this much snow), I still had energy at the end of the day. I did laundry. Go me!!!!! I also listened to a lot of Enya's albums as I needed something very easy and soothing to help me settle down from doing all those laundries ;-)
Wednesday was the day I overcame and did even MOOOOR chores. I hadn't vacuumed our place in over a month (don't judge me) and it was time. I broke out ye olde Rainbow Vac and got a ton of stuff off our floors and out of the carpets. Every time I vacuum, I tell myself I need to do it weekly (I do!) but then a month passes and this situation happens, time after time after time. I guess I just don't like vacuuming. But in my defense, Mrs B likes doing vacuuming even less than I do, so you can consider me the clean freak of the pair ;-) Whilst I was vacuuming, I shanghaied Mrs B into sweeping and mopping. I might be the clean freak, but the freaky deaky has to be shared.
Thursday, well Thursday turned into a good day. It was sunny, it was at the freezing mark (amazing how warm freezing feels when you been below it for weeks) AND I got some Mr Macs Deluxe Cheeseburger mac-n-cheese for lunch. Considering it was between 800 to 1000 calories you know it was good. Mrs B had a good day too, so that made for a good evening together as we enjoyed the general goodness of the day.
Friday wasn't as fun as Thursday. The job wasn't easy and by the time we were done I was hurting. I was setting pins on a property line and the ground was frozen, so I had to use a power drill and then whale on the pin itself to drive it flush. THEN I had to put a wooden tall stake next to it as a witness. Oh, did I mention I had to shovel out a foot of snow at each point, enough so I could kneel down and do all that work? Yeah, it was brutal. Ended up taking 2 extra strength tylenol for my shoulder and elbow when I got home.
And that's a wrap for the week!
