Music

Music is sooo my best friend. I HATE, dread, despise, petition cleaning. I cranked up the tunes, turned the Brewer game on mute, and just went to town. The music seemed to keep me distracted from what I was actually doing. I had to get it done one of these days...and I got a lot done! Dishes are all clean Both bathroom and kitchen floors have been scrubbed down. Vanity in the bathroom has been wiped down (forgot to wipe down the mirror now that I think of it). Threw out the old dried up reed diffuser in the bathroom and opened up the back-up, so now it smells lovely in there instead of dusty cat liter. Took out all the garbage. Vacuumed the floor in the living room, as well as the couch that was covered in cat hair. Cleaned off computer desk from miscellaneous debris. Still working on laundry but that is a multiple-day project.

Still to do: the entire bedroom, clear off/put away things scattered on my coffee table, take the papasan frame out to the garage and bring up the chairs in the garage, put old dvd tower in the garage, put the movies scattered all over my place back where they belong on my floating wall shelves, clean out the fridge (I suspect moldy something or other in there), clean out the freezer (starting to smell like the things that are in there...not good), make sure all my clothes end up in the closet (which still needs to be cleaned and re-organized) or in the dresser, clean OUT my desk, throw out tshirts with holes in the armpits, match up my socks and throw out the long-time unpaired leftovers...alright now I'm just getting detailed. Made lots of progress and the cats are satisfied with the amount of space on the floor for them to lounge. Getting there! It will be next week though before I have a good chunk of time to get the rest of my stuff done. Next in line though is definitely my bedroom, and after that I can tackle the more minor things listed above.

Here is what the rest of my week looks like, and the beginning of next week...

Tomorrow I will get up and do another load of laundry, maybe take the time to do my hair for once, go to work. I have the Thursday vball league Tournament. We are entering the tournament in first place with a record of 50-4. Our team plays at 7:15 but I will be so pumped I'll show up just to watch the action before we're on. Everyone will be rooting against us, as they have been all year. No one has been able to pull ahead of us all season so they are waiting for someone to take us down. We are, afterall, the reigning Thursday champs from last year :)

Friday I may or may not have to work. If I do have to work it will only be half a day. After that I will come home and pack, maybe try and get some more laundry done. At 3:00 I can head to the City of Delavan to pick up my paycheck, which I need for gas money and stuff for the road trips I have between Friday and Monday. Then I'll head up to the Wilderness in the Dells for some R&R with some really great company (family and friends that I am proud to consider family).

Saturday morning I have to come back home. I have the big Como Tournament/Pig Roast around 1:00. That is an all day affair. It will include teams from any of the como league nights, free food, and great volleyball.

Sunday is my cousin's birthday party. He is turning 4 and we are having a bowling party. I am going to try and get my new bowling ball drilled at some point before I head up to the Dells...anyway the party should be a blast because there's go cart racing going on and air hockey and stuff too.

Monday I have another half day at work because I have a 2:00 appointment in Wauwatosa at the TMJ specialist. Hopefully that won't take longer than a half hour, as the drive is about an hour each way, and I have the first night of bowling to get back home for. As nominated and voted on by my league, I am now the league VP and have to be present for the opening meeting. I also happen to be my team's captain, so I can represent both at the same time. I just have to be back in Delavan by 5:45. Should be a piece of cake, I think.

Tuesday after work I will go to see Leah for Taco Tuesday and my aunt and uncle's house a couple blocks from me. I look forward to it because I like to walk there or ride my bike, and I'll need it because I'll not have worked out for over a week at that point (due to lack of time/circumstance). Not sure how Leah will be though. She usually loves Auntie Rinner and reaches for me when I walk in the door, won't let me leave her eye sight when I'm there. This past week she was staring at me all night, but wouldn't come near me. She's in a "I want mommy" stage right now, so I understand. It still makes me sad.

Wednesday I will have time to work out! I'll also have time possibly to get some more cleaning done :) And after that, who knows. I'm not usually so booked tight every single day of the week, it's just been a crazy one. I wonder if the universe was listening to me when I asked for distractions for the 1st year anniversary of Beth's death. Everything just sort of fell in to place for me to be jam-packed busy all week. I will be glad when I can relax though, and not be so "GO GO GO" for a while.

Thanks for listening to my pointless rambling. You guys are the best!
