Off the Rails

The girls have been at their dad’s this week, their last whole week with him for the summer.  With school starting the 20th, they need to be here.

So, with them being gone, I’ve had the house to myself, well, with the exception of the two cats who tolerate me only because I feed them and clean up their shit.  With it being August 1st today I thought I’d get my shit together and actually write a blog post every day.

And that’s where my problems began.  I thought.  And once I think, and get an idea, and start to plan, the universe somehow gets wind of it and laughs.  Hard.

The wrist (for those of you who missed the #ERTweets on Sunday, it isn’t broken, just some jacked up tendons) decides to be pain free most of the day, but as soon as I think I can sit down and write something, the universe laughs.

Then today, I opened my Outlook, only to find that my calendars were completely worthless.  I couldn’t access them without first logging on to Microsoft Exchange.  So I spent two hours trying to figure out how to get them synced.  And then I gave up, because I heard the universe laughing again.

One final thing (and let’s note it’s 4:00 as I write this, there is plenty of time for more shit to happen) Meredith calls and says she has a cheer meeting Friday, and so since I was supposed to pick them up Saturday afternoon, this cheer meeting changes my plans all the hell up.

So, I sit here writing this to tell you, I had every intention to sit down and write a real blog post, and then, well, my life sort of ran off the rails.  God willing and the creek don’t rise I’ll have something real tomorrow.
