bedtime...

Ok, for real, I should be in bed sleeping. We're having birthday breakfast for Hubby at 8:45 in the morning. That's....7 hours from now. Well...we went to Duluth this week...came home today. You know how when you go an vacation (or holiday :) ), you get to a point where you are having fun, but are starting to miss home? I never made it to that point. Maybe it's because I do like Duluth so much, or maybe because we haven't had a leave-the-house vacation in 2 years, or maybe because I don't know when I'll get back to Duluth, or on a leave-the-house vacation, again. *sigh* We saw a ship come into port. We saw VERY big waves on the lake. We saw trains, in the museum AND on the tracks. We saw seagulls. We saw a lighthouse, and the horns that used to say "bee-ooo." It was VERY foggy today, but I did not hear the fog horns. I thought that was odd. I do like the fog horns. Bee-Ooo!
I'm nervous about going back to work on Monday. Worried about new staff starting, and new kids starting, and what has all been changed or done while I was gone. Shouldn't worry....stuff will be changed, and I will get used to it...and the person who filled in for me knows me well enough to call me if something BIG changed...and she knows me well enough to make sure that anyone new doesn't fuck with my system while I'm gone. Hee-hee...I said the F-word :) Dragon hates it when I say that, so sometimes I say it just to be cute :)
Hmmm...I think there might be something outside. The cat just got all weird and is staring out the window. It's 2am...should I look? Nah....I SHOULD go to bed though. Birthday breakfast, then the air duct cleaners are coming (I'll link to them later), and I need to get a picture frame (or two) for the driftwood and rock collages we are making (saw them in a art store/gallery in the DeWitt-Seitz Building....for $28!! Yeah, we can make our own!! Sorry poor starving artists. THIS is our souvenier!) and I need to pick up my film. One roll is Duluth and the other roll is an outdoor concert I went to last year with my mom and sister...Tonic Sol Fa :) I'll have to link to them later too.
That's it. Bedtime. Oh! My sister watched the cats while we were gone. Actually, I think she watched a lot of movies. The cat dishes were empty when we got home today :( One of the fish died, but I figured he was a goner before we left, so I can't blame that on her. OH! And we have drain flies. Thanks to our overflowing sewer a few months back, we have an overabundance of these damn flies. So, I also have to research how to get rid of them. We got rid of the sewage, so HOPEFULLY they will slow down their breeding. Ugh. I opened the toilet today and there was one already in it! That's NOT ok!! And somewhere in all this, I need to revise my paper and send in a timeline. We talked about it in class Monday, so I got THAT part answered, but I'm not really sure....well, really what it boils down to is that I HATE stuff like this. I don't stick to it, then I feel bad for not accomplishing what was on my to-do list. So, I guess I just need to do it, and then just erase the "when" part on the copy I post for "motivation." Then I just have a list to check off as I go.
UGH!! I just remembered we have to move furniture tomorrow for the duct cleaners. Probably won't have time for a nap after breakfast. Sleep til 8, go eat, come home around 9:30....read the paper, do some laundry...duct guys from 2-5....dinner, bed. Hubby's going to some race thing Sunday with Dragon's dad, but they are leaving at 3:30am!! So, he'll be in bed early, then up early and gone all day. Ugh....just in time for the Sunday night rush....grocery list, putting laundry away, getting ready for the new week. Blah. I'll sleep Sunday :)
