~ Exhausted ~

Finally got some " me " to be able to sit down and write on here. I don't even know where to start.. I woke up to the electric being out. A transformer in our neighborhood blew and for over 8 hrs we didn't have electricity.. So I ran out and ran errands the first part of my day...nothing else to do.. So I mailed a package to a friend, stopped and saw Scott at work and then got some household items from the dollar store..I came home..still no power.. So I decided that I would get things done in the garage and outside..It was a pretty day but windy. I noticed that something had happened to my grill and it was tore up mess. I guess in the storm the wind picked it up and banged it around..So it took a while to clean up and get put back together. I think I spent an hour trying to get it cleaned up. I manged to hose off the dog while I was at it and we played a little ball..Then went ahead and swept out the garage..got it picked up a little more. All while waiting on the electric to be turned back on. I had 2 batteries for my computer and used up a lot the first battery in the morning. I didn't want to blog being I didn't know how long we would be without power. I was truly going crazy around here.

I thought if I went to lunch I come home and it would be on. So off to KFC I went.. I decided to eat in the parking lot and listen to the radio..That took up about 35 minutes.. I came home.. NOTHING..Ohh..and trying to get my car out of the garage the first time was no so easy either. I was on the phone with a old darling friend who was trying to help instruct me how to get the door open without any power while we chatting..a struggle is a under statement.

So back home I came only to realize I forgot to pay a bill that I had to have Scott take care of for me. I have been so forgetful with the bills here lately. I don't know where my mind is.. But had to get the TV bill paid..Directv is not so forgiving with paying late..So we rushed to pay it to avoid disconnection.. Thankfully he took care of it.I am just glad Directv called and left me a message about the bill before doing anything.  I was just at my wits end.

So as the day progressed without electricity I had to figure out things to do. So I sat back and read a magazine and rested for a bit then started on cleaning out a closet. then that lead to another closet and then 1 more. plus I moved more into the spare bedroom. To be honest.. That job of those 3 closets wore me the hell out. I was so tired when I was finished.. There were a lot of heavy blankets and sheets that I refolded and organized.

By then it was 6 pm and I was going stir crazy. I actually felt like a nap would maybe help but it was so warm in the house that would be next to impossible. So I tried to clean up the best I could..I put on my make up and did my hair in the living room..and was ready to leave again. I took off to walmart where Scott ended up meeting me after work. We decided eating out would be best..I asked the guys working on the box when they would be finished when I was leaving and they told me they hoped to have things fixed by mid night. Eating at home was not an option.. So off to Applebees for a easy dinner. Scott and Michael had a difficult customer and he was as wore out as I was. To add to the crazy day and evening Applebees was hosting a big trivia game.. it was really loud and the DJ was kinda dumb..Not such a good pick for the long day we both had. But dinner was good..and I realized after a full belly how exhausted I really was.

We both drove home because we met each other in town and pull up.. still no electricity...Scott was fuming.. I kinda thought it was crap because I was the one home all day without it..and he walks in the door like hes the one who had been dealing with it. He got right on the phone with the electric company and while he was talking it came back on.. I couldn't have been more happy about it. But at this point I was just exhausted..felt like I was going to just fall over. Scott tried to cheer me up, but it didn't work.. Even right now I am pretty grumpy. I am hoping that tomorrow is much better than today. I enjoyed a hot bubble bath and now laying on the love seat .. I got to make the coffee, and then I am off to bed.

Scott has a conference for General Managers in Charlotte tomorrow. He is going to be there all day. So another day of not being able to talk to him much. I am thinking he will be finished up by 4 or 5. But who knows. I am thinking about sending the iPad with him tomorrow so he has something to get online and something to do if he gets bored.

Well I am ready to go curl up in bed and sleep until I feel better. No telling how long that will be.

Sweet dreams..
