what an uneasy nights sleep i just had. if you could call it "a nights' sleep" that is. i went to bed at like 10, read for maybe an hour.. woke up at like 1.. went back to sleep , woke up at like 245-- being crushed by a giant cat-- yes , jitterbug. the twenty pound torty. i haven't had her weighed in over almost two years, since she gained all the weight, after the spay-- so i really only guess at her weight--- but when you're sleeping and she steps on your boob-- trust me, it is not a pleasant feeling ! i tried to go back to sleep-- didn't work, so i smoked a cig.. and laid there listening to the wind howl. thoughts rolling through my head just as fast as the wind was blowing outside... thought of the wind, the temps, the a/c situation , the rats in the attic, by then the cat was back in my face, and then on my boob.. then my cig was gone... then i tried to go back to sleep-- finally i decided that between my the damn cat torture, tornadic (hmm, surely that's a word? ) thoughts in my mind, and the worry of oversleeping again, i figured hell, i may as well just get the hell up--- so i did. after i turned on my computer-- i noticed the time-- did you?
friggin 3:33. does that surprise anyone? well... it doesn't me. my pal jamie/simonsays, keeps trying to convince me that this crazy number that i seem to see so often, must be a good thing, and not bad, as i seem to see it-- but hard as i try-- i'm not seein it that way. in fact, i'm sittin here trying to think of when exactly i have noticed anything good happen when i have notice 333-- anywhere. well.. nothing comes to mind. but then again.. nothing terrible does either. it's just a number, that i notice a lot. i do find it odd. regardless if it really means anything or not.
anyhow. i expect to be pretty tired today. i'll prolly end up falling asleep in my chair while the a/c guys are here.. with my mouth all hangin open , lookin my best you know, as they walk in and out of the house. how lovely. i spose i will be keepin the coffee goin all day today.
anyhow-- today is forecast at about ten degrees cooler than yesterday--and it is a lot windier than yesterday-- so maybe there will at least be a breeze in the house today-- that should help some. i swear yesterday was truly miserable in here. i love a warm day-- even a hot day some days -- but in my house-- i do NOT want to sweat. ever!
in fact, the home owner did call last night-- at like 8 or so. she apologized that she forgot to call that the a/c guys were coming. i will admit, i was not very friendly with her. i'm pissed, what can i say. she apologized for not calling, said she forgot...asked if they came etc. i was like ... yes, they came..for like 2 hours and left, cuz they didn't have all the parts ! she basically repeated what i said. i was like umm yaaaa. i said they said they said they'll be back tomorrow... she repeated that too. i said.. agitatedly.... "that's what they said".. as if i knew they wouldn't--or if they did--they'd screw something up-or not finish-.... she repeated THAT!... UGH. so she says, she'll tell her husband. ok, you do that. (not like it'll change anything.)
i'm so pissed. if they would have used the guy we wanted them to-- the one who checked on the parts--and said he'd be finished in HALF a day-- we would have working air RIGHT NOW!
am i pissed? ummm, yes, yes i am. only God knows when this is gonna be done-- and or if it will be done right. this whole thing is giving me anxiety attacks and bouts of -- I wanna kick your ass-- ya know.
so anyhow----
i had things to do today-- but apparently i won't be able to leave the house. so i guess i will be playin catch up around here. which won't be a total waste-trust me. it could use it. but hey-- the dishes are done :)) just some other crap--and still need to move furniture---that didn't get done yesterday. soulman goes in late again tonight-- i just remembered that-- so i can have him help me do that today.. oh how he'll love that in the heat. oh well.
anyways-- i hope y'all have more exciting plans than i do today---
we're one day closer to the weekend-- if that means anything...
for us-- it means another weekend away... mom in law and a few of her sisters are coming and we will be meeting them for our timeshare week.. but of course we can only stay the weekend.. plus monday-- hubby is off, and soulkid will be playing hooky that day. (monday)
will be gone friday afternoon to monday night.
so-- if we still don't have a/c by then-- which we better-- but just in case-- we will at least have it for the weekend.
happy tuesday!

has this ever occurred to you? Weigh yourself while holding Jitterbug, then weigh yourself without her. Viola! The difference is what SHE weighs. LOL
Go do it, I'll wait. :))
I also had a screwed up sleep. Even though I was in bed at 9:30. (old lady much?)
I swear ,I live a whole 'nother (stressful) life in my dreams. lol
Well, I'm gonna go post on my Own blog. :))
Happy sweating.
Try not to Queen Earlene anyone today:))
Love me
i don't own scales-- paranoid much? hmmmm.
anyhow-- i AM my mothers daughter-- therefore-- i can't control my queen earlene-ism !! :))
i'm old too-- go to bed early-- don't sleep for shit-- get up at the crack of black-- most days-- nap for hours-- most days-- just to do it all over again.
damn i'm exciting !!!
Sounds like a rough night Soul! I woke up the other night at 3:33 and thought of your thing with that. I had some weird acid reflux thing going on last night...I don't know if I have that, but it was annoying anyway. Then the hermit crab was making noise and keeping me up, so I can relate a LITTLE. lol
jlee-- it's funny how many people are now conscious of friggin 333 :)) (sorry)
anyhow-- reflux was prolly from that moo-ing burger :)) --- best thing for that-- over the counter is gaviscon.. or wal mart brand gaviscon-- forget the name but its like 3 or 4 dollars cheaper and right next to it.
anyhow---
soulkid had hermit crabs once-- three of them.. the all ended up dying---- poor things.. the last one lived quite a while-- for some reason after he molted, he croaked. has yours molted yet? it is the GROSSEST looking ever !
after it molts you're sposed to feed it those white things that birds eat-- i think it has calcium or somethin in it-- i don't know-- but i think we found out about that too late-- we did it-- but he still died. poor "elvis". :))
have a good day today!
hope your belly feels better!
Well, I'm all caught up on my reading but waaaay behind on my commenting, and I do apologize. I miss the days of working at a desk, well most of the time, anyway, and being able to pop in here anytime.
I pray that today, you will have ac. I mean, really---come on people! You cannot rent a house to folks when there is no ac! Period. So, I know that today it will get handled.
Have a good day...
xo
:)
Prayin that the AC nightmare ends TODAY in a good way, and that whatever lurks in your attic gets caught. At least you have a fun weekend to look forward to, but I've done the no AC thing before, and it sucks! Make darn sure those guys return the flashlight, real "professionals" aren't they? I used to sleep with a 20 pound cat on my chest, breathing about two inches from my face, so I can sympathize with that too. Hope the rest of your week is much better!
BTW, if I was you, I'd be playing threes in the lottery and at the casino, it must surely be your number!
I woke up at 5:30 convinced it was Sat. Booted up the PC saw it was still Tue., went back to sleep. Why is it on weekend mornings I'm up with the chickens but workdays I can barly drag my butt out of bed ? Oh well - I'll find some good in this rainy Tue. Be well.
The crack of black??? that is funny! Last week was my crappy sleep week. I think it had something to do with how my body might be getting ready to ummmmm change. I'm still regular, but I woke up all sweaty about 3 nights last week. Last night, I fell asleep just before 11 only to have my son come in to say good night about 20 minutes later. He felt terrible about waking me. I told him it was ok...poor kid had a ton of homework. Was up at around 6 to practice his music, too...
Hope your AC situation resolves!!! Sucks to be hot in the house.
I can relate to crappy sleep last night! I try to stay in bed and perhaps turn the t.v. on because the more I rest my legs at night typically the better they are in the morning. It is interesting to me how when the sleep is chaotic is is almost exactly an hour that i sleep say i go to sleep at 12:15 and then i will wake up at 1:15 ect...I am sure that I would be frustrated SO much about the a.c. i am going to have to decide here soon on if I am going to have the bathroom tile and tub fixed well replaced which really needs to happen or if I am going to get the a.c. fixed. I will say that where my place is in the buidling often times it does not get really hot but watch me say that and then we have a horrible hot summer. Hope that you and your family have a good day.
I play the number game too...only mine seems to be 616. Seems like it pops up a LOT and interestingly enough its the time my son was born. Numbers that read the same backwards as frontwards seem to come up a lot with me. My address is like that. My daughter was born with numbers like that and as you can see, so was my son. The number 13 comes up a lot in my life, as it did for my mother. She said that it never was bad or good...just SIGNIFICANT. And its the same for me. Maybe these numbers all mean something but we, as mere mortals, are too dumb to figure it out.
Hope your air gets fixed. Nothin' worse than a woman whose already stressed to be hot too.
Got your taxes done yet? Mine aren't done but at least they are in the hands of the tax lady.
Keep smilin' - Charlotte
