Hooray I had Monday and Tuesday off. Which means we worked like little dogs Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning. Last night after cleaning up the dishes from the second get together of the holiday, I sat on the couch and drank a Strongbow and watched about an hour of HGTV. Why do I love House Hunters so?
The better-half got home after ferrying various relatives home and climbed into bed. He told me he was late because he and the various relatives stopped in a parking lot to watch fireworks. I love fireworks. I saw a couple we set off in the yard when there wasn’t much dark. I was grumpy hearing that he and the various relatives got to watch real live fireworks while I was at home washing dishes and worrying why it was taking him so long to drop everyone off and get home. I think there were something like 17 deaths in the area because of horrible fiery crashes on the interstates this weekend. Comforting.
The better-half and I chatted for a little while and then he fell asleep. Never mind that I had been trying for over an hour to fall asleep and was willing the pain in my shoulders and upper arms to go away–he drops off just like that. Then the twitching started and the twitching was so bad that it woke me up just as I was falling asleep and made me say “what was that?” in a loud voice. Really, I thought something had fallen on the bed. Then apologies were offered and then the snoring and twitching started again. I do not like it when we’re that tired. I like the tired where everyone lays still and I can fall asleep.
I got up to go lay on the futon in the other room. The better-half, to his credit said, “I’ll go”…but I was already pissed off and out of bed and half-way out of the room so there’s really no sense in him getting up too. I tossed and turned on the futon for a few hours and got back in bed around 5am because I was worried about the alarm going off at 6 and waking him up.
I stumbled through the day. The bright spots: several other people got no sleep last night (which was strange) and there was delicious chocolate cake at lunch today.
Thank you. Jim teases me for my love of House Hunters and Design on a Dime and HGTV in general. I also love Designed to Sell. I can’t tell you how many times I wished someone would come in with two grand, fix the house up pretty and then I “decide” not to sell. That would be sweet!
