This is why I have so many coffee making devices.

I do have my big coffee maker, but if I make that much coffee, I will drink it, and I am trying not to do that.

Luckily, I think the dishwasher just ended.

I'm still under the weather with my second cold in two months. Right now my entire brain seems to be oozing into mucus. No human sinuses could produce this much snot.

The majority of the garage has been sorted. CJ and K-bug have been "on their way" here for about an hour and I want to go run errands, including that pedicure. Instead I'm on the couch, resting my foot, wishing I had an inhaler and drink near me.

So, as I suspected, I like the same-level local chain (Tasty Burger) better than Shake Shack now! They did give me free hot chocolate, but I could not get a seat, which is obviously bullshit.

Man, I was all set to go for a run and thought "I'll just clear up that thing were my playlist thinks it can't play Prince real quick"...hour and a half later I have maybe kludged the problem into submission (buy buying two more copies of the song I particularly want, stupid but if it's effective, fine) but I am angry and tired and maybe wanting to just eat lunch instead.

When the house next door was for sale, I imagined it would be bought by a handsome Prince Charming who liked cats. It was instead bought by a married couple with dogs. But! Her dad is a friendly handyman who is right now at Lowe's figuring out how much my new porch fence and gate will cost. Finally! I've been trying to find someone to do it for four years. This is better than Prince Charming.

All this is to make sure my escapee cat doesn't get away if he gets out again.

That's pretty good luck, neighbor-wise!

I really need to call the window guys and get this draft taken care of. I'm in my living room now wearing double layers of everything and a lap blanket and I'm still cold! And I know the heat is working because I can hear the radiators.

We spent an hour shoveling out our driveway and sidewalk, although not all that time was actual shoveling. Some of it was talking with the neighbors and cheering for the plow guy who plowed the street, and then throwing snowballs at each other.

My children are driving me nuts. They still haven't made it to my place. I'm glad I didn't wait for them. I've dropped cookies off at the dojo, picked up my prescriptions, and am mid-pedicure. I may treat myself to a movie after this as I kinda want to avoid confronting them when they do show up.

I've been working hard this last week to get rid of stuff that doesn't need to move. I'm trying to get as much done before Thursday as possible. CJ hasn't done a thing and I haven't pushed cause I'm going to be dependent on his help post surgery. K-Bug is moving next weekend and between school, work, and moving, she won't be able to help me at all post surgery. I just asked for help today moving a couch. And that is now a struggle and I don't have the spoons.

Sorry for the rant. I hate asking for help as it is. But when I do and you agree.... Grrrrr.
