Tomorrow is a present

Ha! I'm posting this on time for once! Of course I have no specific topic to ruminate about today though, but that's still one out of two, which I'm aware if a failing grade but I'm here and that's counts for something. I hoped that as I keep tying something will work through my brain and through my fingertips.

Today is my husband's birthday, so that's something. I've never been a fan of my birthday but I'm always up for celebrating another's. We both still work today, unfortunately, but I do have off on Friday and with Monday being Memorial Day, we'll both have off on that day too.

I could really use a 4-day weekend. I can't remember the last time I took off just to enjoy a little bit of free time. It may have been back in November. I doubt I'll actually use that time to relax. I've got yard work to do, projects to work on and a million other small things that need to be done. However, I'll make sure to sneak in some gaming time or a few movies.

It's raining, it's pouring, I wish I was snoring

You'll have to forgive me for not having posted anything for over a month now, not that anyone reads this or anything like that. I only hold myself accountable for my actions. As they say, when it rains, it pours and it mostly certainly did drench me a good bit for a good while there.

As par for the course, I got sick, which vexed me greatly. I have gotten a terrible cold and even the flu every year since I have been back to my home state and this year I had thought I had broken that streak. I gotten through the first barrage of my husband, my roommate and then my child so just when the season was about to end, my roommate got sick again and that was when I finally sub-combed to illness. I was useless for over a week and was even forced to take 2 days off of work. Recovery from this flu was slow and I'm still trying to catch up with my housework.

Then of course, my computer died and of course, that was another week lost in idleness. My husband had to help me completely rebuild a new computer mixing up old and new parts. Luckily, the hybrid runs much better and should last a heck of a longer time too. I'm still trying to catch up on my paperwork.

Luckily for me though, I have been able to find time to finish small projects here and there and even on occasion spent time with friends and been able to have fun. I'm working on the balance thing. Work hard and remember to play hard afterwards.
