"You Wake Up to the Sound of Alarms..."

Well, I am--sorry for yesterday's post. I was really, really tired. Looooong, wonderful weekend, but long. ^^

Daddy is sick. We think maybe pneumonia, so he got chest x-rays and bloodwork done, he's too old for pneumonia to go by lightly, so we're worried rather. I took Maggie for her walk to-day, and got the paper and the mail, and drove Daddy in to the doctor and got him the Times, and then I picked peas in the garden under my umbrella. The guineas squawked at me.

And Mama and I drove to the Oriental house and sat on a hay bale in the barn and watched the thunderstorm and talked for a long time. And I read a lot and watching Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, which is exceedingly silly and I had to hide my eyes a little, because besides being exceedingly silly it is bloody. Also it features God's big shiny box of smite. Really I think it ought to be common sense to leave known boxes of smite alone.

We had supper together, Mama and I, because Daddy's sleeping, he's been in bed all day except for going to the doctor. To-morrow I'll get up early and do everything again and then go to work. I kind of don't want to, I'm still pretty tired, but I promised Michelle I'd go to-morrow. So I'll try to get to bed at a decent time to-night because of that.

Maggie ate the remote. Also a driver at the truck stop fussed over her and said he had a dog at home that he missed, a golden retriever.

There's always so much to do.

Seconding the adorable umbrella-ness, and the wishes for your father--I'm sorry the weekend tired you, but I hope the tiredness will pass and it will be just happy. ^_^;

Gleep, and thank you...! --I think so. <3 I really just need some sleep, I haven't gotten any lately.

I did. I keep forgetting that five hours a night makes me woozy, I can't handle it the way I used to. I used to be fine when I did things like that, but I was still sick then and I didn't feel it. And this is rambly because I'm still sort of tired, but I did get two hours, and that's a good thing.

Do sleep, lady. Not everyone can survive on my sleep schedule. *hugsonto*

It used to be mine, too!
