bedding and burritos

2-19-15

One last glorious day.

I have enjoyed these last two days of work simply because I have not had to deal with the incompetency that comes with Trusty. In addition to this, you can feel the collective relaxing of the entire department since not only is Trusty away, so is his grumpy right hand man. It is almost a shame that my hallelujah day of Friday will be marred by their return.

Yesterday afternoon I got all kinds of ambitious. In addition to washing tons of bedding, I managed to clean the boys’ room quite a bit. As a side note, making a bunk bed that is really tall is not easy. Second side note would be to be careful when you try to navigate the giant pile of bedding on the floor lest you slip on it and smash your shoulder into the door frame.

While I waited for the laundry, I ended up making a batch of breakfast burritos which makes for easier mornings for me. Plus, there is enough that Ken and I should have some for today, tomorrow and even Saturday, which is awesome since it is always a bit chaotic on game day.

I also took the time to straighten the catio a bit. There are boxes in there, both empty and full, that should be gone through still, but at least it is a more inviting space for the cats. Sadly, the peeing bandit is still on the loose with someone peeing not once, but twice on Ken’s side of the bed. Yeah, we went to all this trouble to change the sheets in the afternoon only to be greeted to another wet spot when I crawled into bed. It means we will need to start closing our doors when not in there, and Sissy may end up in the hutch of shame for a period of time so we can figure out if she is the guilty party.

Sadly, the pee will require more bedding laundry for me today when I get home. Bedding takes for-freaking-ever. It doesn’t help that you can only wash maybe one thing at a time. I am hopeful that I can also finish out the boys’ laundry this afternoon so that the weekend is free from chores. It will be kind of nice to come home from the field on Saturday to know that nothing is pressing and the house isn’t too cluttered. It also will be nice to be able to have Sunday as a huge chill day.

I spent this morning cleaning my desk at work. It is funny how whenever I need a paperclip I can never find one, but clearly it isn’t that they disappear, they simply go into hiding in the far corners of every drawer. I swear, when I opened the drawer, letting in light, it was like watching bugs scatter back to their dark corners.

I am now angry with myself since I meant to bring the deposit bag so I could stop by Ralphs on the way home. I also need to hit up the pharmacy, so I was hoping to make it a super-efficient trip, but clearly I didn’t think it through. Oh well. I guess I will go this afternoon. Maybe if I am lucky, the boys will finish up homework kind of early so we can stop by on the way to practice. I may also just drop the boys off at practice and go take care of all of that.

I need to also get over to Dollar Tree since we have snacks on Saturday. I can most likely also take care of this at Ralphs, so maybe I am overthinking all of this? Ha!

The cantina is in full swing this morning and I am waiting for them all to get to the warehouse so I can go get a cup of coffee. I managed to get my water before they all showed up, but sometimes they really seem to be in a party mood in there. I wonder if their bosses are out, too.

 Even though I would like a chill day on Sunday, I feel as though I should make a point to go get mice for Hal. I also would really like to start work on cleaning the backyard. This would include the side of the house. Of course, none of this is needing to be done right away, so maybe I really should stop being such an overachiever.
