My week so far ...
Sunday: return home from a weekend in NC with my dad and his side of the family. Barely roll in the door and unpack before falling into bed.
Monday: back to work, numerous phone calls need to be made, Christmas Cards completed, run to CVS for stamps and script, run to Petsmart for Sammy supplies and Christmas presents, unpacking and cleaning of the house, working from home, sealing and stamping Christmas and Thank You cards
Tuesday: work, out to dinner, baking cookies - both took way longer than they should have
Wednesday: work, shopping for Christmas lunch, wrapping Steve's presents, final cleaning of the apartment - including oven, refrigerator and shampooing the carpets, working from home, laundry. Note to self: make sure oven in house is self-cleaning - if not, buy one.
Thursday: work, return items to Old Navy and PetSmart, clean out car, maintenance to car (alignment, etc.), pack for trip, finish laundry, remove subwoofer box from car (more room for our shit), move rest of house stuff from garage so Steve's truck can in there while we're gone, give Sammy a bath
Friday: work - most of the day, 10 1/2 hour trip to PA
I'm crazy right? I cannot wait until the holidays are over so I can start making some sense of this house. Our clothes are still in boxes and we can't find anything but I don't have time to search for it when I'm trying to prepare for this trip.
Exhausted is an understatment!
Let's talk about my holidays.
Friday, I have to wait at the new house from the cable guy from 2 - 5pm. Being that this is Comcast, whose actual cable/internet performance is the ONLY thing that keeps me coming back, I can imagine that I'll be lucky if he appears during those times, if he appears at all. Did I ever tell you the story about how we busted our hours, driving our convoy straight through on a 16 hour trip and I was hopped up on Vivarain and Red Bull trying to make it here to SC from PA in time to meet the cable guy, who NEVER SHOWED UP? So ... yea.
