I
posted last week about being swamped. I thought I'd catch you up
about which of the dangers of the fire swamp have been eliminated,
and which I'm still dealing with. To catch you up, here was my swamp
as of last week:
- I've got my parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary Party to plan
Here are the invites
Here I am, mailing the invites, "only" 6 days past my deadline...
But
they're DONE! How that happened is actually
funny/sad/frustrating/miraculous so I may post it. Teaser:
sometimes the solution is so simple only a future engineer can see
it.
,
- My last Precept lesson of the year to plan
- Had last lesson and a great pot-luck after wards and we're all set to start again mid-January.
- We have literally no FRESH food in the house, only our zombie apocalypse stuff. Need groceries.
- We hit up our apocalypse stash a few more days, then The Transporter dragged me through store. He's a gem.
- Nobody has clean clothes. Laundry must be done!
- Everyone pitched in and it got done. Since I wrote that post, we've done yet another round. Feeling on regular schedule there again. Amazing feeling.
- I've got a list of phone calls the length of Rapunzel's hair to makeRapunzel's hair is even longer. Let's leave it there or I'll end up telling you about the over an hour call to my insurance company this morning and no one wants to hear about stuff like that.
- And I haven't slept well in two weeks...so I need to go to the doctor
- Thank you God for letting us invent Ambien. I'm less of a zombie and more of a functioning person.
Bottom
line: still have to deal with the R.O.U.S's, but I've got weapons.
I'm
leaving you with one of my favorite commercials. It was my
inspiration for Monday's flash fiction honoring Arlee Bird. Flaming
turkey wings for all my friend!

P.S Pay attention to the tree in the background...
P.P.S The dots and bizarre font size changes all over the place? Don't ask. I was feeling insane and downloaded Windows 8.1 (it can't get any worse, right?) (I should know better than to even think that...) Apparently it likes dots so much I can't erase them...and has it's own opinion about what size my text should be. Or I could blame Blogger. It all looks perfect until I hit preview...
