Hubby goes back to work after 2 weeks of us mostly sitting around like lumps, vegging, watching too much TV, drinking too much beer, avoiding the heat, and accomplishing NOTHING! The heat is gone, and I’m ready to get my ASS IN GEAR!! If he’s not in a productive mood, I hate to get all crazy working, because then he feels obligated to get up and get doing something, and what he really needed was to do NOTHING! He had only had a couple of days off since he got transferred. He needed to decompress, and I think he did.

The problem is, I’ve gone into SEVERE hibernation mode!! I have left this house approximately 4 times in one month! I went to the doctor one day, I went shopping one day, took Stanley to the vet, and I ran to the store one other day. I haven’t been inside the house the whole time, but I’ve been in the yard, or house since I finished work! I know it’s bizarre, but with hubby home for 2 weeks, he ran all the errands, that needed to be done. We didn’t go anywhere, so that’s what it was! I do this every summer. Now that hubby is going to get out of my hair, I’ll have to FORCE my ass away from here, and make a point of going somewhere every day, even if it’s for a walk. I can get so weird, that I hate to cross the street to get the mail! (I know….. call me psycho-fucked-up). I come from a long line of “home bodies”, so that’s definitely a part of it, and for 10 years, I ran constantly all summer long with Sarah’s summer skating, Ben’s soccer and summer hockey, their swimming lessons, my club meetings, it was insane. It’s like now I say Pfffffft….. I don’t have anywhere to go and no kids to run, or to get away from! This is the reason I keep working. I’d become a complete recluse if I didn’t have to go to work, and go to the Oiler games.

But enough of that shit! Sarah and Jay and Ben came out for dinner. Hubby BBQ’d a prime rib. They’ll be packing up Jay’s stuff tomorrow, and he gets his condo either tomorrow or Tuesday. I lent them a bunch of drop sheets and things for painting. His place is professionally, and recently renovated, but his bedroom had lovely words written around the perimeter of the room. Peace, Tranquility, Hope and the like… not a manly look at all! hehehe

Ben didn’t hear back from that job, so we’re assuming he didn’t get it, but he’s okay with that. He’s trying to sell his truck, and he has a guy coming to look at it tomorrow night. Then next weekend, he’s off to see Jessica in BC. (here we go again!) At least they took Miles home tonight. 4 cats is a little MUCH!! He and Stanley are so insane together, that they are just ripping around the house like a couple of demon kittens! They’re crazy man!!!
