It’s Monday! Aka the Day After My Fun Day/My I Don’t Have to Run Day!

AKA Deadline Day, and from all appearances, the “I’m really glad that we don’t have an active “List of Shame” (to tease the people who haven’t gotten their entries in yet) these days, because there would be too many names on it!” ;)

So, if your favorite(s) still haven’t posted, now is a good time to kick them like the hippies they are!!

For those who still need to get something in: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/521820.html
For those who still need an extra hand, there’s the Work Room: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/522463.html
And a place for people who want to play the Home Game: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/522194.html
For those needing a prosthetic forehead to wear on their real head – I’ve got nothing for ya.

How did your weekend go? Highs? Lows? Mids?

My entry is off for a few people to beta. Besides, I still have my byes if need be. I won't be able to finish and post it until after work, do it'll be last minute again. But I'm sure I'll get it in.

The weekend was so great, I don't want it to be over. Yesterday we went for a hike with the puppy on a nature preserve. That felt really nice to be outside on such a warm day. Then we bathed Annabelle and she was good for a giant dog who hates water.

I'm really dragging on the work thing. My bed feels too nice and I know today will be busy as heck since they added more stuff for me to do. I was already busy as heck before handling all the signs, fitness equipment, furniture and pool furniture for every apartment community under redevelopment. It's absolutely insane and exhausting. I was a longer weekend.

It's just another Manic Monday! :)

I got my entry posted last night, phew. I had another entry planned (mostly sorta) in my head, but this one WOULDN'T LEAVE ME ALONE, so I had to write it instead.

My weekend was mid, nothing fancy, although we did go out and see One for the Money, which was very good! I ♥ Katherine Heigl!

Also, for those who like "Chuckwagon" patties, but can't find them under that name, I found these really yummy frozen veal patties (although the label oddly says "Veal Patties with Beef added" on it... so, baby cow with old cow added in? *shrug*) Anyway, they were tasty and really hit the spot, and the hubby decleared them to be Chuckwagon patties, so yay me. =)

Every time I started one entry, another idea wouldn't leave me alone! I finally stopped the flip flopping and chose one, but I have to wonder if it was the right one? I liked all my ideas. I hope they forgive me for not being chosen :P

Never had a chuckwagon patty. Never even heard of them until now!

I really don't want to talk about it. Yes, I got my piece written... but that's about the only constructive thing I did. Further, writing this week's piece was a long, arduous process for me; I literally was up most of last night, banging the thing out. While I was successful, and am pleased with the result, I am now so exhausted that I had to call in sick to work... and I am not proud of that decision. No sir. I'm not proud of it *AT* *ALL*.

Saturday was okay, Sunday not so much. Dad was taken into hospital last night and is awaiting urgent major surgery today. Waiting is the hardest part.

I managed to get my entry in, but it was hard going.

Lows? I'll have to go with my not-able-to-get-enough-sleep issues on Friday (and earlier) for that one; insomnia sucks.

Mids? At least I got a decent amount of sleep last night and the night before even if it did take me longer to get to sleep than I would have liked?

Highs? I got my entry in early! And people seem to like it! Also, my takeout yesterday arrived quicker than it was estimated to do, and it was tasty.

My brain isn't quite awake yet, so my answer may be incomplete.

I think I finally had an idea that worked. Hopefully, I'll have it posted soon after I finish editing.

My in-laws are going to turn up here in about an hour. Woohoo. Apparently she forgot her camera battery/charger when they were here for Christmas. I think I thwarted their plans for me to cook dinner though because I have somewhere to be this afternoon. She sent me an email this morning telling me not to worry about it.

My weekend was mid. We had a long polo clinic on Saturday and I actually rode in it, unexpectedly, on a horse I'd never been on. But LJ (seriously that's his name short for Little Joe) and I did well together. Also, my legs hurt now.

Sunday we had a planning meeting. It went well. We voted to make some pretty big changes so it will be interesting to see how that comes together. Also, the poodle pooped on my bed. Husband says his new name is PooPoo or maybe Little Shit.

Both days we spent a lot of time at the barn. My horse with the eye problem is maybe improving. Each day at dusk we take her out and let her graze. Poor baby. She is not a fan of being in a stall all the time. She misses her friends and her grass. She can't be with the other horses or out in the day light because of her eye injury. We go back to the vet school on Thursday. Let's hope for a positive outcome.

I love They Might Be Giants! :)

My weekend was okay, although I don't have my home game entry done yet because Sunday morning the Pain returned. I had nine weeks of it last summer before ending up in the ER and finding out it was an ulcer.

I took medicine and ate and it went away after a few hours and it hasn't returned yet, but it threw me off balance. So I didn't start my entry until late last night.

Definitely making sure the spousal person makes the six month follow-up appointment with my GI doctor (who is totally awesome) soon.

Home for lunch. I don't know if three and a half hours or so when I get home from work will be long enough to finish my entry, but hey - I'm playing the home game. Not gonna stress if I'm a little late. :)

What is it with the hippie hating? Some of us are hippies and get our entries in before deadline!

*ahem* Good afternoon, GR.

I don't think this weekend had a low point, aside from the fact that I clearly need to re-train a couple of my guy friends that, when I have plastered all over the internet and told you at least ten times that Kent is off for the weekend, DO. NOT. CALL.

Other than that, it was lovely.

I have a headache. I'm getting sick (yay, chest infection!). I have 2000000 dragon boat training sessions this week. I have dragon boat races the entire day Saturday, and the entire day Sunday.

The upside? It's Tuesday. Monday is over and done with for another week.
