My, how time flies.

Last week, one thing lead to another. Most of you have probably noticed that I don’t visit or comment or read my mail on Wednesdays, since that is the day TMBWitW works from home. MEG and I occupy ourselves in another part of the house, and leave TMBWitW to her work; working from home is a privilege and we certainly don’t want to lose it… Well, that means that I don’t have access on Wednesdays. Wednesday was spent chasing down a set of keys for the house I am sprucing up, so that I could get my tools gathered together and re-consolidated. Wednesday evening I made a trash run for all the material that had been removed during the sprucing – old carpeting, padding, baseboards, etc. Thursday afternoon the keys were obtained, the tools were gathered, the tool trailer was emptied at my house, and the trailer itself was taken back over to a friends house, since the HOA does not allow me to leave my trailer in the community. Friday morning (at 1:26 am, but who’s tracking?) marked the onset of MEG’s stomach flu. She was throwing up every hour or so for most of the night; we were both up with her, trying to comfort her and keep her calm – nothing like a ten-month old getting hysterical in the middle of the night. TMBWitW was somehow able to go to work on Friday; God bless her for her strength. MEG saw the doctor’s office at noon, and we got the news – a stomach bug. Advice was given, and we headed home. Saturday dawned with MEG having another restless night. TMBWitW and MEG stayed home, sleeping as they could, I attended the Truth Project session for that week. Afterward, I headed over to the project house and picked up the owner’s son and we went to the Palace of the Orange Aprons to purchase supplies.

Supplies is right. Guess who started getting nauseous and dizzy while at the Palace of the Orange Aprons? We got the trailer full of supplies back to the project house and parked in the backyard; I headed home. As I pulled into the driveway, I needed to jump out for a moment to move some items in the garage. When I headed back to the driver’s side, my breakfast decided to fertilize the little tree in front of the house. I am so glad it was a quite day. The echoes of the retching bounced off the neighboring houses, drawing the attention of a stray cat. Luckily, no neighbors were out and about.

When I got in the house, I found out that everyone had been doing the same all day long. We spent the rest of Saturday and all day Sunday in bed or racing to the bathroom.

Not fun.

Yesterday, I helped my chiropractor move his office. He adjusted me afterwards, but the muscles in my lower back are now screaming for my head on a platter. I’ll be working on reconfiguring some of his old cabinets today; they will be going into the restroom in the new office.

I’ve trimmed the blogroll a bit – and added One Loon’s Tales. Please give the Loon a visit; we need to support our northern friend as much as the Loon supports us!

So – how was your week?

Thank you for stopping by, God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and support Warriors for Innocence!
