Dad’s surgery

went really well!  He’s already home and talking about painting the fence.  Of course, he did fall asleep on the couch just now.  I think he’ll be feeling it a little later once his pain pills start wearing off.  He says he is going to go to DMV and have his license renewed tomorrow.  He was saying he’d be back at work by Monday and I really think he’s gonna do it.

Shoot, if it was me having surgery, I’d be milking it for every bit it’s worth.

Productivity

I’m already thinking it is Saturday.  Why?  Because I’m at home cleaning and not at work.  I love that I’ve got the next six days all to myself and don’t have to even think about work.

This morning has been very productive.  I’ve already finished three loads of laundry, scrubbed my bathroom, vacuumed the hallway, scoured the microwave and baked cookies.  It seems like a lot, but it is barely the tip of the iceburg.

Family is coming over for Thanksgiving and everything has got to be right.  Dad had surgery this morning and mom is coming down with bronchitis.  A lot of this needs to be done while they are away and don’t have to  exposed to the cleaning chemicals and dust.  However, I did just try the cleaning the microwave with vinegar trick.  It worked really well, but the smell is not something I’d like to smell.  I’ll take the fresh scent of Pinesol any day! (Can I get paid for that plug?)

I’m off, the next batch of cookies are ready to come out of the oven and I still have to log into class sometime today and finish an assignment.
