Had a really good day yesterday.

Work was busy. When I first got all the emails from Bossy Man, I thought there was NO way I was going to get through it all.

I was SOOO wrong.

I typed my little fingers to the bone and managed to get the majority of it done by lunch.

AND I had a very lengthy call from Sam, who is about to drop her little bundle of joy any day now. She said the contractions were 7.5 minutes apart now, but still not close enough to go to the hospital. She is to call me when she heads to the hospital, and since I got no call yet, I am assuming she is still just contracting away with no baby in sight.

After lunch, I had a couple more non-priority things to do. Then it was pretty quiet until around 2:30 when Bossy Man dropped more crap on me. I managed to get all THAT stuff done before I headed for home at 3:30.

Went straight home. I hadn't heard from Dave since the early morning so I didn't know where he was. I took Indy for a LONG walk. He loved it!! It's been a while since I have found time to take him. He was DRAGGING by the time we got back home again, with his tongue hanging so far out of his mouth I thought he would surely step on it.

My doggie is so fun to take on walks. He's so good. I usually let him off leash while walking in this particular area that we went yesterday since he IS so good. He sticks with me, however he always has to be in front. If he stopped to sniff something and I get in front of him, as soon as he sees me ahead, he races to pass me up. And I also have no problem keeping him from straying. He always keeps an eye on me to make sure I am still there and if he starts heading for the woods (there is a path on our route that leads to the lake and he KNOWS it and tries to get by me to take a swim) he just looks at me and if I say, "Nope", he falls back into step with me.

Anyway, so the walk was good. I needed the exercise, too. I set a good pace and was pretty hot and sweaty by the time we got back home again.

Then I worked on removing more rotten boards from my deck. And since I was there, I put new supports in place to make the NEW boards sit better. I still have to get the new boards. Maybe today after work since I will be going right by Home Depot anyway on the way home. Okay, I ALWAYS drive by Home Depot on the way home. It's right off the highway.

I had bought the WRONG boards before and was planning on taking them back, however my receipt was in my WALLET, which as you all know, had developed legs and walked away.

So no receipt. No return.

I am sure I can find a use for those boards somewhere around the house. Or I will freecycle them.

Anyway, so I need five more boards and I am good.

While I was working on them, Dave called me and told me he was about an hour from home. He honked when he drove by my front door, but I ignored it since I didn't put two and two together and think it was him. However, once he got home, he came out and scared the crap out of me because I was concentrating so hard on hammering.

I went over to have a smoke with him on his covered deck and it started raining. At first my only thought was, Shoot. I can't finish the deck now. Then my second thought was, "SHIT!!! I left my phone outside on the deck swing!!"

I ran from Dave's house so fast I created a vortex!!!

I saved my phone and Dave texted me to come back over.

so, I did, since it was raining anyway and couldn't finish my deck.

After a bit, it stopped and I went back home, intending on finishing the last little bit on the deck, eating, and then taking a shower.

Well, I got two out of three done. After dinner, I went outside to have a smoke and I heard Dave talking and I looked over and Doug and April were there. So, I went over there to finish my smoke and then go back home to shower.

Yeah, right. I was there until 9:30 when they left. We sat on the deck and had a couple of beers and smoked the night away.

I finally got my shower at 9:30 and then went straight to bed.

Dave had to get up early this morning due to an appointment, so I woke him up when I got up at 5:30. I did all my morning stuff and by the time I went over to his house for a cup of coffee, he was wide awake and happy and gabby.

Today, Bossy Man promised (threatened) me that the day would be just as bad as yesterday was in terms of how busy I would be.

Yipee.

The thing is, he has no idea how long it takes me to do stuff, so he THINKS he is giving me a whole day's worth of work when it really only takes me half that time. Which is nice, since I can get other things done, too.

I am hoping that Sam goes into REAL labor today so I can finally see that new little baby boy she has been carrying around for the past nine months. Her due date is tomorrow, but she has been in labor for weeks, it seems.

Okay. Here it comes. The emails are starting to come in.

Better go.

have a great day!!!
