My sister’s house has more of what I need than Home Depot…
Today is a sad day for me. It is officially the last day of my February Break.
All you non-teachers that had to work all week, quit your sassing. I get it. I’m lucky. I get vacations all the time-during all of the peak travel times.
And please don’t give me that lame old line “it must be nice to have your summers off.”
My response to you: “it must be nice to pee whenever you need to and not just during 5 minutes of passing time.”
The truth having the summer off is nice. Its fantastic even. Oh yeah, I teach summer school.
As for this vacation, here’s a run-down of how I filled my days.
Monday: My first official day-off. Lets be honest, I did a lot of nothing. I got up late, and I watched DOOL.
The most productive thing I did was to purchase and to install a new toilet seat and a new toilet paper holder.
Tuesday: Tuesday held so much promise. It was scheduled to be my Eden Home Cleaning visit. Oh how I love returning home to a organic chocolates on my pillow. Alas, my appointment was canceled because of equipment issues.
So instead I spent the day applying wood conditioner and the first coat of stain to my future sink stand.
Wednesday: My day started early with a less than stellar turn as #1 Health Care worker. Honestly, I thought I was going to have to relinquish my title to MHG.
After a brief visit back to naps-ville, I finished my second coat of stain and the first two coats of polyurethane.
The highlight of Wednesday was definitely a visit to Lucky-Simon. Every girl could use a little face-time with that nugget of love.
Thursday: Yesterday was all about straightening up.
First, I had to straighten up, fly right and focus on being the best damn ‘rent-a-shot’ progesterone deliverer this side of Strong Hospital.
After that, I was off to tackle the box of old bills sitting in my office. (Yes, I said box of bills– JYIII would not be proud) Two hours later, chronologically sorted and filed, my bill-work was complete.
So I headed to the kitchen where I was faced with the rather unwelcomed task of cleaning out my refrigerator. I always feel better when its done, but it has to be one of my least favorite tasks. The result, a sparkling (though not KAY quality shine) food storage device filled with…. almost nothing. Who knew I had nothing to eat.
Friday:So here we are back at my depressing last day of my precious time off. I made my last visit to Casa de Crosman this morning with positive results.
A quick stop at Wegmans for some MeowMix for my starving kitties and I was back in bed. (I do not usually recommend a diet of kitty treats and tuna but in a pinch it can appease the furry loves of your life and earn you an extra hour of sleep in the morning.)
I just finished ordering my brand new vessel sink and who knows what the rest of today will bring. All I’m wondering is…
…when is my next day off??
