Work yesterday was good. I had lots to do but lots of time to do it. Of course, Bossy Man had to call me at 2:30 (my last hour of the day) and load me down with stuff so I could not possibly finish everything before I left. So, I have stuff waiting for me.

But Bossy Man is out of town again and no where near a computer where he can send me files, so all I have now is all I am going to get until Monday.

So, lots of time to finish things up.

I have a feeling I will be bored by the end of the day. I thought about bringing my crafty thing to work and doing some painting, but I didn't want to have my hands full of black paint and then get calls and get paint all over everything. So, I nixed that idea.

After work, I went immediately home and to bed. I slept for three hours, only waking up because I was hungry. If I had eaten dinner before I went to be, there is no doubt I would have slept the whole night through. If the dogs would let me, that is. They may have woken me up with their cold noses in my face if they wanted to go outside. Silly doggies!!

Anyway, got up around 7:00 and warmed up some hobo dinners I had made earlier in the week for Dave and I. Then I sat around for a wee bit, watching TV. Then I decided to take a nice, hot bath to relax me. I was in the tub when I started getting texts from Dave. I didn't have my phone with me in the bathroom, so I tried really hard to just relax and ignore the phone ringing, but that is so much easier said than done. I finally gave up, got out of the tub and got my messages. He was just checking on me.

He knew I was still upset with him, even after having spoken with him for nearly an hour yesterday morning on the phone.

I told him that I was done talking on the phone about the issue and we needed to talk in person or not at all.

So, he wanted me to come over when he got home last night and we could talk.

By the time I got there, I was about ready to go back to bed, so I said I was only staying for a short time.

We talked. All the fight was out of me and I was just not in the mood for anything. But we talked and got it all out. I still feel out of sorts but that will go away. I need to build up the closeness again, if that makes sense.

While I was there, Doug started texting and calling Dave. He ignored the messages. Doug and April wanted to come down to sit on the deck with us. Well, Dave was all for that, but I told him that we were in the middle of a discussion and I did not want to hear Doug try to "fix" things. That's something that Doug LOVES to do. Fix issues people have. Well, I don't need that and sometimes that really bothers me because I never ASK Doug to fix things.

anyway, Dave wanted Doug to come down and talk to us, but I said no. Then April texted me and asked if they could come down. I told her point blank that we were in the middle of a talk and could not have company right now. And apologized for it. She said that was no problem.

Shortly after Dave and I hashed things out, I went home. I knew that Doug and April would come down after that, and sure enough, they did. With Trish. and I am sure that I was the talk of the deck, but I don't really care.

I got into bed and slept soooo well. I fell asleep immediately and woke up feeling better. I still could use some more sleep, but I'm getting caught up now.

Dave had asked me to text him at 6:20 this morning and come over for coffee, so I did that. I still feel out of sorts, but it's better.

I got to work and there were three messages from Bossy Man on my answering machine. He is SOOO demanding. He is in the Cities and did not bring any of his books of phone numbers, addresses, NOTHING. So he will be calling me all day long, just asking for phone numbers. I hate that. I give him the tools he needs to do his job but he ignores them. It's much easier to call me and interrupt what I am doing then to find info on his own.

What a demanding person he is sometimes.

anyway, I still think my day is going to be slow.

I will have lots of time to think about what projects I need to do still around my house. Dave is going to cut the deck boards I need tomorrow and I will get the boards in place and then I can scrap off old paint, wash the deck down and hopefully paint on Sunday.

I also need to get gutters on the front of my house. I am tired of the ice and snow melting down on the front steps and in front of my garage, causing me to slip and salt all winter long.

I am hoping to find time to get the lawn mowed again this weekend, too. I am glad that the grass is not growing so fast anymore, so that I can get away with only mowing either the front OR the back once a week, instead of having to do the whole lawn in one weekend. That takes way too long to do. I used all my gas the last time I mowed, so Dave is going to take my gas can and get it filled for me today. (Jim would take the gas can, use all the gas and never fill it back up again. Luckily he can't come over anymore and take the mower and gas can and I can use it whenever I want to know, instead of it never being around when I need it.)

I am going to finally finish my divorce papers today. I need to change one little thing on them, which is to add the restraining order file number on them, and then I need to find out who is going to serve them. That should not take long. Just a matter of a phone call or two.

Okay. That's all I have for now. I think I am done. Gonna have a GOOD weekend. Full of getting projects completed and also a Vikings game tonight!!

Go Vikes!!!!
