Poor Mr Peabody and Clio kitty.

I was very productive this morning

This is how I have to do it. If I get started early, shit's much more likely to get accomplished than if I wait until later in the day. Sometimes, if I don't have to work the next day, the cleaning bug will hit me late at night. That's less frequest, though.

DH was the one that started the cleaning this morning. Once I recovered from the shock, I pitched in and we were able to get quite a bit done, including getting Ashton bathed. Go us.

I have done pretty much nothing this weekend. Got socked with another sinus infection and have been trying that rest thing that gets recommended.

Though part of what I did do was help CJ through some of his homework. Now my brain hurts.

Bob and I ran a half-marathon today. Five + hours later, still totally wiped.

Well, I went through my toolbox, tossed a bunch of shit (turned up a quart bag of change. Um,) collected the eight million allen wrenches together in one bag, fasteners of every imaginable type except the one you need in another and relocated the whole shebang to the basement. Woohoo, I have 2 square feet of floorspace back in the kitchen!

I also have a headache because I forgot to eat this afternoon.

Go, you guys! That is impressive.

Poor sick and/or hurt people and/or animals!

Nice, sarameg. True confessions: when I first encountered Allen wrenches I thought they were called owl wrenches, so I still kind of think of them that way.

bon, you make me miss when I actually did shit like that. Maybe that'll be my spring resolution.

ETA: Oh, poor Mr. Peabody. I so remember that look in Lucy's eyes when she have middle of the night GI trouble and have to wake me up. Heartbreaking. And to the best of my knowledge or ability to interpret, she didn't have a past history making it such a fraught situation.

I had a burst of energy during halftime. washed out a drawer in mac's captain's bed so toys can go there and then rolled up his carpet (the cat keeps peeing on it, so I am tossing it.

My SIL has decided she wants to do a marathon with me and another friend next January. The only thing stopping me is my weight so a year to get ready seems reasonable. Perhaps a half sometime this summer someplace neat to visit would be an incentive and reward. I've done about nothing to prepare for this. I think she is gonna make me do it again though.

I've always wanted to do the midnight sun one in Anchorage but no way I'd be ready for that. I should look around for some of the other fun ones and try to inspire.

Despite there being a shooting and a stabbing overnight, the top headline on my local CBC news site is:

Cat in tree, firefighters stumped

Congrats Bon!

I spent the weekend being mostly unproductive. I blame it on having tomorrow off...I just keep saying, "I'll do it Monday."
