Oct. 7th, 2019 11:06 amIt continued to be a long week through Friday. I honestly don't remember what happened on Thursday and Friday, except that it should have been Friday on Wednesday. And on Friday night, after dinner, the sandpaper-in-the-sinuses feeling started, so I've got the office cold. Of course I do, because if I'm going to get a cold, it always happens in October.
So I got less sleep than I wanted on Friday night, because my ears hurt every time I swallowed and I kept waking myself up making odd noises (not quite snoring) through my swollen sinuses. On Saturday afternoon my ears got better, so I hauled myself off to Whole Foods, because they theoretically had turkey parts for 69 cents/lb. They didn't, of course, because they'd sold out, but I got a rotisserie chicken and some various other odds and ends and dragged myself home again. When walking a mile round trip uses up all my energy, that's bad. So I didn't do a damn thing else for the rest of the weekend, except the laundry, because I had to wash towels and sheets.
That means all the other cleaning I had been intending to do didn't get done, so I live in the midst of a collection of dust and hair and rug fuzz, which is annoying me. And don't get me started about the stove, the fridge, both sinks, the bathtub and the toilet. And the floors. All of which were going to get done this weekend, and didn't, and I live in squalor. (OK, not quite, but it feels like it.)
I did, however, spend a fairly enormous chunk of money over the weekend. Pet insurance is now costing me $1100/year for both cats, and it's not worth it, so I'm not doing that again next year. We are now at the point where it's all about quality of life and quantity of life doesn't matter, and the insurance doesn't cover enough of any given treatment to make it worthwhile to submit claims for it. And I had to pay the other half of the Bonaire trip this weekend, so there went another $850.
At that point it pretty much didn't matter how much more money went out, so I bought myself a silly tote bag with the last of the gift card I got from trading in my old phone, plus $30. While I like my Timbuk2 messenger bag as a work bag, it's horizontally oriented, so my best umbrella and my coffee thermos don't fit in it. (The thermos probably would, and it's supposed to be pretty much leakproof, but the idea of a quart of coffee horizontal in that bag gives me the cold robbies. It's only waterproof on the outside.) And the Timbuk2 bag could use a wash, besides, and I have no idea how long it would take to dry.
*PHWOONK* Stupid sinuses.
