Mental Meanderings

It's not a place holder... SEE!

*cough, splutter, sleepy, pain* I know, I should blog, and I will, in the morning. Meanwhile here is a place holder to tide you over.

I told you I'd be back. I know, you all doubted me didn't you? You thoughted I'd be knocked for six with this icky cold/flu/whatever and never return. I know, you secretly HOPED that would be the case. But, alas, I'm ALIVE!!! *plays doom music in the background*

I don't like being sick. All of me aches and that's AFTER dosing up on cold and flu meds, asprin, vitamins and energy drink. My head is fuzzy which is another feeling I just don't like. And my back aches, but that could be related to having dug up my driveway yesterday.

Oh, by the way, I dug up my driveway. *sighs* Remember my freshly paved driveway? Well I mean it's been a few months now but it's still reletively new. Anyway, now there is a gaping big hole in one side where I had to lift a whole bunch of pavers and dig a ditch to get to the leaking pipe. Thankfully the plumber fixed the pipe so I have water again but the hole is a problem he won't repair.

I felt pretty proud of myself for getting in there and getting the pavers up and digging the ditch. Good muscle power and that's my exercise for the week. Now I have to fill in the rest of the hole and get some builders sand so I can flatten off and put pavers back. It's just not ever going to be the same as it was when it was freshly laid.

Meanwhile I'm not at home. I should be in bed I guess but I'd rather come have a chat with my mother so I'm sneaking in some blogging time while she's chatting up the lawn mower man. She's not really, she's just paying him and asking him how his knee surgery went because he's a happily married flirt but it's more interesting to pretend she's chatting him up then admit the truth.

Oh oh, she's back, RUN! HIDE! I better go be social. *waves* More blog tonight.
