Today’s goal: go to the gym
Yesterday was not mine. It was spent taking care of my grandparents and trying to get a handful of things done at work that absolutely HAD to get done. In fact, there was one thing that I needed to do and couldn’t because I just ran out of time. Today, other than running over to check on them just before lunch, I can concentrate on work. And I will carve out some gym time. Period. I owe it to myself.
UPDATE 4:44 PM
Gym = not happening
Going home to run on elliptical = not happening
Life ever being predictable = not happening
My grandparents are without cable until next Thursday. Why? Because Comcast is shit-tastic! The idiots turned off my grandparents account BY THEIR MISTAKE and it’s going to take them over a week to get a tech out here with a new box. Did I mention that this is COMCAST’S error? And yet, can’t get anyone over for a week. Wow - what great customer service. Assholes!!
So instead of going to the gym, I ran to Bestbuy and picked them up a DVD player (theirs didn’t make it over in the move, I don’t know why) and some movies. I found a Shirley Temple collection (my grandmother specifically requested, grandpa didn’t look too thrilled! LOL!!) A best of John Wayne 15 movie collection (oh you should have seen his face light up at that, though!) and then a collection of the Golden Age of Cinema with movies starring Gary Cooper, Bob Hope, Clark Gable, Dorothy Lamoure, Katherine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart… well, you get the idea. They really liked that too. So I spent a couple of hours doing that and hooking it all up… their set-up is weird and it took a while to get the right combination of things plugged in to each other. Fun times!
Which also means I’m beyond behind at work. I’ll be staying late… well, coming back actually after I drop my daughter off at home.
Oh, and the school called earlier. Skye fell asleep during circle time. Her fever came back and the school had me come get her. Then they called a bit ago. My older boys forgot to pick Sean up after school. He sat in the office for about 45 minutes before they called me. That would be two weeks in a row… at least this one wasn’t directly my fault.
My life is spinning completely out of control. Much suckage.

Yes you do- you go girl
Sorry today was so crappy. At least your grandparents have you. That was a really nice thing to do.
