I got a phone call this morning from the Beast to let me know he would be home tomorrow. He plans on leaving around 6 or 7am. I didn't ask him if he was bringing home any Italian beef (I restrained myself) but I did want to get an idea of just when he would make it home. I have two things I MUST do before he gets here. I (still) need to vacuum my computer room and then clean the carpet. I didn't find where the Beast had stashed the rug cleaner until this afternoon. What's sad about that is that this house is not that big but I hadn't figured that he would put it in the cottage.
You should have seen me struggling to get it from there into the house. I damn near had to crawl up the stairs and drag it behind me! It was just awful. I feel like I need to be wearing a girdle or some such thing to keep my hip joints in place. I kid you not. My back didn't hurt me because I had my back brace on. Why don't they make a hip brace too???
I gave Baron his last piece of chicken and had to pull out his frozen chicken from the freezer so it could thaw. Once it's pretty much thawed, I'll throw it into the pressure cooker and cook it up for him. The last ones that the Beast made up were the greasiest thighs that I have ever seen (or felt, as I pulled it apart for Baron's evening meal). Yuk! But he could hardly wait to dig in....LOL. I guess he likes chicken grease. I sure don't.
I did move most of the furniture and other things out of the room so it will be easier to do the cleaning in here tomorrow. I was shocked (but shouldn't have been) at just how dirty it is where I sit at my desk. I've spilled coffee and had to scramble for a rag to wipe it all up. The rest? I have no clue. Just normal crumbs and stuff, I guess. Think good thoughts for me, please. I'll need it with the hip pain that starts shortly after I am upright and walking around. I'll vacuum in here while sitting in my desk chair but after that....I'll be in trouble.
Cee and I never did have a sleepover for one reason or another. We also didn't go to lunch with Diane because she started having some serious pain last night and it was still causing her a lot of grief this morning. She was hoping it wasn't her gall bladder. She knows she has stones in it because when she had a sonogram for something else, they told her that. She said if the pain didn't go away, she was going to go to the emergency room. I assured her that the surgery was easy and she would only have a small scar. Recovery is different, however. But I didn't tell her that part. Me bad!
Well, I am heading for the shower and then to bed. I'm kind of looking forward to the Beast coming home and taking over his chores again. I even, finally, cut up part of the watermelon and got it all in the fridge. I ate a bit of it, of course, and it is incredibly sweet. *Patting myself on the back* I remembered something I read about, or saw on TV, about looking for the yellow spot on the watermelons to ensure you got a good one. It has something to do with how they are grown and if they are allowed to ripen fully.
Love you all. Be good and live your life happy. Get rid of any negative people in your life. You don't need that. If you can't get rid of them (if they are family, for instance) then learn to ignore them. It's really not all that difficult. ***Hugs***
