Not a good day

[treeskin]

Not that yesterday was, either. I've been taking decongestants, just 1 dose a day, because my allergies are bad this year, and I really like to breathe, but the drugs are giving me headaches and an upset stomach. And I'm worried about getting everything wrapped up before we leave for Heartland--the front yard's never been mowed, so it's embarassingly tall; there's huge piles of stuff in the driveway, and I'm having trouble backing the car out in the morning; the house is a mess....just too much to do.

I guess I'm just tired of living in a perpetual state of half-finished.

Or, I'm just tired. I couldn't even knit last night, I tried, but my hands were clumsy and I kept messing up, so I finally gave up and went to bed. Didn't get any gardening done either--add that to the list of Must Finish Before Heartland. But some of the things on the deck can't be planted until the front yard is mowed, because I don't have the energy to fight with 3' tall grass to dig holes for shrubs.....

And add to the list of stressful things and things that must get done:

The new boss seems thinks everyone should have a plan for the day when they get here--man, it's a government job, it doesn't work that way, even if it is graduation week. I don't think about this place unless I'm here, thank you very much.

And, all the "problem children" part time staff are here today. Gak. I guess the ones that got drafted to pull weeds all morning yesterday spent the whole time bitching. I'm not sympathetic at all--to them, or the new boss who gets to keep track of them and make them work. There are still some beds on inner campus that have 2-3' tall weeds in them, but It's Not My Problem. I've been told that many times. And if someone tries to make it my problem, I will remind them.

By's working for Robyn today, plus he's got a little to do for Terry. R's still working on the potential commission...the clients changed their minds again, and what they were talking about yesterday was interesting, but getting it done in time...yeesh.

And sometime this week, I ought to call Mom. Haven't done that lately.

We decided last night we're not taking on the the plywood sheds to use as a "plywood tent" this year....it's just too heavy, and we can't count on having strong backs to help get it to our spot and set up. K told us last night to take our tent out on Sunday...A & K and some of the crew from Omaha are setting up camp Saturday, and will be there through Heartland. I guess last year K had trouble saving "inner sanctum" spots for us, so she'd like us to have our tent up early, even if we won't be in it, to discourage people A & K just don't want to camp near. Can't say as I blame her.
