I'm limited on time this week, with two board meetings back to back tomorrow night, band rehearsal on Wednesday and an FBS (Food, Booze & Schmooze) on Thursday. On Sunday I'm hitting a matinee theatre production and then that night there's a big party following the big marathon. I'm not running, obvy, but one of my Vacation Boyfriends will be in town for it - along with a bunch of his Orange County firefighting pals. Oh yeah, baby...
1. Send Guatemala Vacation Boyfriend note re: this weekend He's not coming out after all. Rats.
2. Move Shakespeare tix from 1/19 (due to scheduling of January Birthday Month revelry)
3. Schedule new fridge for delivery on 1/22 (only day charity pickup for old fridge was available).
4. Clean old fridge
5. Finish office cleaning (AGAIN!) Or - as organized as it's getting for now. This will have to be a semi-annual event.
6. 5-mile run
7. New watch batteries for DadH watches
I'm trying to pound some stuff out here since I have to take off early and pick up Elvis from the vet. I usually feel all worried and paranoid about him being there all scared. Now I think it's for his own good so he had better just suck it up.
I believe he's bearing the brunt of my spending a week with DadH over the holidays. My father isn't in great health but he could be in better health if he would just do something about it. But he won't. He never has and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I was going to slap my pedometer on him to see if he could even make it to 200 steps. From the easy chair to the four-wheeler to the tractor and back. That's it. Then he complains that his legs hurt. Well of course they do - they are wasting away from disuse.
But he loves to complain. It's a hobby of his. I already told MomH that she can't go first. That would be a nightmare. Then I said my second nightmare is something will happen to Dad and he'll be an invalid.
MomH: "It wouldn't be too different from what I have now, except if he can't speak he'd complain a lot less."
This was said in humor, as this is how we talk in the H house. But there is truth in humor.
