Long hot summer saga....
FINALLY finished my grocery shopping yesterday. Bought some gluten free frozen food I hadn't had in awhile, all of it made by Amy's Kitchen. I got the Santa Fe bowl, cheese enchiladas, black bean enchiladas, teriyaki rice and veggies, brown rice with veggies and tofu, and one I've not tried before, Mexican tamale pie. That should keep me for awhile.
Had a showing last night. Yayyyyyy! From 6-7:30. The realtor's office called and set up at 1pm (while I was at the grocery store), so I had plenty of time to get ready. Had to get the stepladder out because both the porch and garage door lights were burnt out. Also, there were brand new cobwebs all over the front of the outside of the house with HUNDREDS of dead gnats in them! Ewwww! So I had to clean those up too. And I pulled the most obvious weeds out of the rocks and cedar bedding. Still a lot left, but I can only do so much at a time. As it was, I did too much anyway, especially hauling and climbing up that ladder.
All the extra activity probably didn't help the headache I already had. Now I'm on day two of a migraine. Feels like my brain is being held hostage, or at least held at knife-point. I'm trying my best to go about my usual activity despite the nausea and sensitivity to light. I figure if eight and a half hours of sleep didn't cure it last night, there's no point in going back to bed.
No "Lost" on last night. They didn't show it last week either. ABC is pissing me off. Even a re-run of "Lost" is way better than "The One", which is yet another singing contest. I need season 2 of "Lost" on DVD, heh heh.
Have been listening to my boxed music CD sets and copying the good stuff to iTunes. Just finished with the Ray Charles collection and am now working on George Strait, believe it or not. I'll probably get through everything before the house sells.
Chip has been helping me kill bugs that have snuck into the house when I've opened the sliding glass door to let him in and out. The other day, I smacked a fly with a towel and it started running around on the floor, dazed. Chip started pawing at it and accidentally stepped on it and squashed it. He couldn't figure out where it went; it was stuck to the bottom of his paw! Then he was lying on the floor a couple of nights ago and a small beetle or something ran past him. He ate it! It must have tasted bad, because he shook his head afterward. Too funny!
I miss Dan. We're thinking maybe about him coming to visit the first weekend in September since the following Monday is a holiday. That is, if the house hasn't sold yet. I'm going to wait another week or two before deciding. We really are short on funds, so the airfare would be a hardship, but not getting to see my husband for three months is a hardship too!
My head hurts too much for me to think of anything else to say.
