Thank God Tomorrow is Monday!

It's nearly 1:00 a.m. which means I have been up for almost 13 hours. So how can I be so wiped out? Oh yeah - I did about 20 hours worth of work in that time.

I am bruised, battered, burned and bug bitten. Got into a fight with some poison ivy too, but that didn't fit my nice alliteration. Besides in a day or two I will find out if I won that fight.

I cooked twice today. First I made gluten-free pancakes and fried up some bacon. The bacon spattered and burned my arm, which blistered immediately. A few minutes later it attacked again, but went for my face. I think I set a land speed record getting to the sink and sticking my head into the dirty dishes and under the cold water faucet. I have enough issues with scarring on my face, I do not need to add to it.

So later tonight I grilled out and made BBQ ribs. Big thick ones. I closed the lid of the grill to get them smoked clean through. When I opened the lid a few minutes later, flames leaped out and about caught my hair on fire. Not a good day for Renee. But the ribs were excellent.

I did, however, defur the entire downstairs. Hauled a desk out of the garage (where it has been resting for 2 weeks) and up into J's room. Hung a huge ass mirror in S's room - twice. The wire broke the first time. Then I touched up the paint on her wall where the huge ass mirror slid down. Cleaned out my closet - which is a task. That thing is enormous. Bought some plants on clearance from Lowes and repotted them and had J and a neighbor kid plant the leftovers. Cleaned the kitchen, complete with mopping. And changed purses. Now I am going to sleep for 5 hours, get up and be thrilled to go to work where I can relax. At least for a few hours - tomorrow is a half day.
