So much for not burning the candle at both ends. Had a marathon work session on Saturday, so I'm wiped out today. Almost 20 hrs of work made me so tired I still feel sick.
W is heading over, and while she's doing laundry, I get to run to the grocery store for Thanksgiving stuff, and also pick up dinner for tonight. At least my chore gets me out of the house.
Yeah, and here I am at almost 1:00 AM trying to get some things done so I can try to get some sleep (although I napped pretty good today, I still feel exhausted).
I'm feeling very anxious tonight (this morning, I guess). Tomorrow I have a dentist appointment (root canal, no less). I have to come up with $150 for it up front and then file a claim with insurance - for some reason the don't participate directly with insurance companies - most places handle that. But, I need this like now, so not shopping around for another specialist.
I am also in charge of trying to track down a problem that is affecting a client and has been going on for a long time and I am feeling a bit panicky over that and general work/time/project management issues. If I wasn't so tired I'd try to work on it now.... as it is I need to send a couple emails, since I'll likely be interrupted in the morning.
The plumbers have BS'd me for 3 or 4 weeks about coming out here. I have a ton of things I need to do to better prepare this dump for winter and it was below 20 degrees - F TTD and NQ all day today. Not that it mattered since I slept until W woke me up to come over and then I was running errands and watching TV all evening.
Not only did I not need the expense of dental work, it looks like most of the property tax bill is going to end up on a credit card. I don't think I'm ever going to be able to afford another car, either.
Today's frustrating behavior from a WAW (possibly a mild MLCer at that). Last week I almost got excited because when I went out somewhere, she handed me the key that she took from my key ring way back when, instead of the one with her keys that she usually gave me. Not really sure about her intentions, I put it on the counter, and she took it with her when she left. Tonight, she gave me that one again, so I put it near where I keep my wallet and keys. Before she went to bed (leaving me on the couch watching TV again) she asked "where's your key." I'm pretty sure she said "your," not "the." I just had the thought that she might have started doing that because she fears I'll either drive over there and snoop or make a copy of the house keys on her key ring. If that's the case, then I'm pissed. Although, now that I've thought of it... Of course I may be being paranoid. On the other hand, I give her free reign of this place when I'm out running errands (usually getting us dinner while she visits the cat and does laundry).
Ugh, root canal - I had one once and the dentist didn't give me enough novacaine . Talk about pain - labour was less painful. My dentist doesn't participate directly with the insurance company either. I just love having to come up with the money up front and claiming it back from the insurance company - NOT.
One small 2x4 - and I'll try to make it a foam one as well. Stop trying to mindread her intentions with the key. It's not going to do you any good.

Yeah... I agree. About root canal, and the mind reading.
I'm a little less stressed about work today, but just because I took a "f**k 'em" attitude and started a bit late, and I'm just trying to focus on one thing at a time. I also let everyone know I'm leaving early for the dentist, and don't know when/if I'm coming back today. Seems half the company and clients are on vacation anyway.
Oh, and the plumbers showed up! Out there working now.
And.... W is still here. She didn't feel well and we were contemplating a trip to urgent care, but she's just relaxing with a book and a cat instead. I think she was really just too stressed to face work today. We're quite a pair, huh?
So about those keys. As she was leaving, she asked about it again and said "I use that one to warm the car up." Aren't we glad I hadn't said something stupid about it?
Here's a couple funny WAS eccentricities. I've mentioned this one before, but we always shared a large soda at the movies. Well, since we started doing whatever it is we're doing now, when we go, we always get 2 medium drinks. Also, the women who NEVER closed the bathroom door unless things were really rocking and rolling - if you get my drift - now always closes it, no matter what business she's conducting in there.
Had another one of these moments, too. Just like with the rake, she wanted another snow shovel, because we have 2 each of different types. The choices were a sturdy metal one, and a very well worn plastic one. I started to hand her the plastic one, because she has a tiny driveway and a bit of sidewalk to shovel, where I have a way-too-long driveway to shovel. She said "no, the blue one..."
I still haven't read 5LL (I've skimmed it before) but I think she's definitely and Acts of Service woman. She LOVES to send me on errands, have me fetch her a drink, etc. She always asks nicely. She does offer to pick up things for me, too. Or to come over if I need the car. What a change from early summer, huh?!
She always asks after my health if there's anything going on, too. Not sure where that fits in, but it's nice.
Looks like we're having Thanksgiving here for 4 - us and two cats. One of those errands I mentioned was me going to get us dinner and picking up stuff for Thursday. I'm just making a turkey breast. And the fixin's of course.
My h isn't so OCD about the way his clothes are folded and put away - in fact before he moved out he rarely even bothered to put them away. And his room at his apartment isn't exactly tidy either. Does that count?

Yep. Some of the things my W did made me think she had changed so much - now a lot of them have faded away and old behaviors are still there - of course that's good and bad....
all day today.
