I felt physically better as the day went on yesterday. Plus I had the MENTAL peppy-ness due to the fact that Dave was coming home.

He actually called me and told me that he and Doug had decided to stay in for a few more days and fish some more, and then they were going to go to yet ANOTHER town and fish THERE for another few days, so he would not be home for at least four more days.

Yeah. I could hear the car noises in the background, so I knew he was on his way home.

So, it was a happy reunion once I got off work and went to his place. He told me he missed me so bad and all I had to do was go talk to Doug and ask HIM. He said that he did nothing but talk about me all the while he was gone.

Too funny!!

And Doug DID tell me that Dave missed me horribly when I talked to him on Sunday. I think I talked to Doug just as much and I talked to Dave that weekend.

Dave said he wanted to go to crab night at the casino last night and I was all for that!!! He called Doug and April and they were in, too. So, we picked them up and headed to the casino and ate and ate and ate. No wonder I can't lose weight!!!!

Of course, maybe if I exercised a bit more.........

Oh well.

Then we played slots for about an hour and, having lost the $40 I intended on playing with, I was ready to go home.

We dropped Doug and April off and went back to Dave's and sat and digested our big meal for a bit. Went home and tried to sleep. But a pesky mosquito had decided that I looked tasty and was keeping me up until I was able to catch the little sucker.

April and I gabbed on the way to and from dinner and I told her that Dave and Doug had talked to me SO many times while they were gone and she said that Doug hardly called her at all. That's kinda sad, but I only talked to Doug when I was on the phone with Dave, and Dave missed me so much that he had to call me A LOT. She also wasn't too happy when she found out that Doug and Dave had asked me to drive up to meet them on Friday evening. She said SHE didn't get such an invitation.

Well, first of all, April can be a bit of a bitch to Doug (not that HE is any nicer to HER) and I know that Doug was happy to be away for a long weekend. AND April recently had surgery to remove her breast implants and she could not take the bouncing of the boat, so that was the main reason why she did not go to begin with. So, I don't think they were going to invite HER at all.

Work yesterday was pretty slow. I had expected a really hard and long day since Bossy Man is going to be off for a few days this week and he told me that we had all these reports to do, plus all the daily entries that had to go in.

I did get the daily entries and got most of them in, but not until 2:00 in the afternoon. I ended up doing my filing and getting some administrative things done around the office, but I also had time to get onto Netflix and watched some instant viewing programs.

It was a SLOW day.

Not what I expected.

Today, I was hoping to come in and get a lot of files from Bossy Man with those reports we were supposed to do, but I received nothing from Bossy Man. I believe he is taking today off. I say I BELIEVE so because that is what he was thinking of doing, but I never got any sort of phone call from him at all yesterday and only received a few emails with files late in the day, so I have no idea what he is doing.

Oh well.

I came prepared for the slowness today, just in case, and I brought along my divorce papers so I can email Jim and tell him exactly what it is that I need to know from him so I can finish filling them out, and if I get an answer back, I can type up the papers for him to look over.

Other than that, I have a few letters to do and a few daily entries, and a few reports to compile.

Nothing major.

What a change from last week when I never thought I would get caught up and I had to delegate work to someone in the Cities.

It's always feast or famine here.

I got a call from my friend, Paul, yesterday. He is in town and we made plans to go out bowling tonight. Usually we go out to eat first, so another night of eating out and probably eating too much and NOT watching what I eat and putting all those calories directly onto my midsection!!!!

Oh well!!!

Tomorrow is the ONLY night I have free this week and I need to spend it mowing my lawn.

Or not.

Sam called me yesterday to ask if she could borrow my lawn mower.

Why does EVERYONE want to borrow my mower?

Jim wants it.

Dave wants it.

And now Sam wants it.

Geez!!

anyway, she was supposed to get it last night, but she didn't and asked if she could get it today. She wants to mow before Thursday which is the baby shower/barbeque at her house.

I said sure but I need it back by tomorrow so I can mow my own lawn.

And, of course, it's going to rain all day long today and there is NO WAY she will get her lawn done.

So, I guess with everyone wanting the mower, it won't be until the weekend before I get to my own.

Tonight, as I said, I am going out with Paul.

Tomorrow night I am free. But who knows if I will have the mower back by then due to the weather and Sam's need to mow her lawn.

Thursday night is the baby shower thingy.

Friday night, Doug, April, Dave and I are getting together for a fish fry at Doug's house. We will be eating the walleye that the guys caught this past weekend.

The guys were making a HUGE deal out of how THEY were the hunters and us ladies are the gatherers, so their "concubines" need to get a feast put together of the great kill they were bringing home.

Whatever!!!!

I was calling them the Great White Hunters until I actually saw them last night. They were both so burnt red that I had to change it to "rednecks" instead.

Overall, I am in a sorta bad mood, mostly due to the rainy weather. That always brings me down.

Of course, with me working in a windowless office, maybe I can fool myself into thinking it's sunny and 75 outside today!!!!

But maybe not.

At least I have a "date" tonight with a good friend. Dave hit the nail on the head this morning when I stopped by for coffee. He said that I will have fun tonight with my friend, Paul, because I can be PAULA.

And he's right.

I can be. And I can relax with someone I am NOT trying to impress, as I feel I have to do with Dave's friends.

Finally, someone who likes to hang with me for ME and not because I am tagging along with someone else.

Does that make sense at all?
