Movin' at the speed of molasses

15:48

I am bored out of my bleedin' tree right now. And if that's not bad enough, I've also got the munchies. But when I go tothe kitchen to find something, I don't want anything. Grrr ... It's just one of those days.

I'm restless, but can't get the interest in doing anything. I've got a riding lesson tonight, and I can't even find the energy to want to do that. I'm going to go, of course. I've only got two left. I won't be going back for any more.

There are things that Ic ould be doing, while the waether is still nice, but I lack the tools at this time. they are either burried in the garage, or still in the city, waiting to come over. There are a few other little things in the house that I can do in preparation of Jade's parents finally moving down to the basement this weekend, but it's a similar situation. Some of the stuff I need is still in the city, and frankly, I don't want to just move a few pieces ... I want to get into it and get it all done! Or mostly done ... depending on time, etc.

I'm restless and lack things to keep me busy. I'm lethargic and don't want anything that (little as it is) I can do.

Yeah, just one of those days.

So I'll wolf down some supper, drive to the other side of the city (picking up passengers along the way), take my second last lesson, drop the passengers off, drive home and fall into bed. Tomorrow, I plan on chopping down a tree or two. I found my pruners too, so I can go in there and get some small stuff out too. I wandered ina bit and saw where the drop off is. We're going to need some serious grading work done to get a road down to the barn. On the other hand, there is also the possibility of just creating a new entrance off the road, closer to the barn. Then we can just clear a path towards the barn for walking ... with steps in the steep parts. Kinda like our own river valley path. Complete with wildlife. :)

The shed is almost done. We're just waiting for the garage package to show up. Anytime now would be nice. Before the snow flies? I asked Jade if I should call and find out WTF is the hold up, but he said not to worry about it. Personally, I think somebody should call. There could be an issue and we could get it cleared up now, instead of later when there's three feet of snow on the ground.

Mmm ... supper smells good. And it's going to be another hour and a half until I get to eat it. I accept the fact that I have to move supper back a bit because the guys get home from work later. (Stands to reason - we're farther away) but it bugs me that supper isn't served until another hour after they get home because Jade's Dad, Wayne, likes to sit for a bit to have coffee first. That's getting kinda late in the evening for me. It's getting to the point where I'm eating two lunches just to cope. It's a bit late for Jade too. He's never liked having supper that late. I've never really seen Wayne sit and relax with this coffee ... so why are we waiting a whole hour? Why not give him half an hour to clean up and sit for a bit? He can drink the coffe with his supper. He can have it after (which happens more often than before supper). I'm used to having supper around 17:00 ... why am I being forced to wait until 18:30 or later? This is stupid. I tried to talk to Dona about it (Jade's Mom) but she's all into what he likes and what they are used to. Why is it all about them? Why am I making all the sacrifices? All the compromises?

Grr ... *sigh*

I need to go do something ... work off my frustration.

Next year, I'm re-painting the living room with a colour that I want. It's my house, dammit.

Sweet Dreams!

  2. Sometimes I wonder the same thing...isn't it supposed to be that you make sacrifices for the one you love? Aren't they supposed to do the same? So I say go to that paint store and change the color....it is YOUR house....
