Short Week

The only good thing about this week is that at least it's a short one. I took Friday and Monday off so I'll have a couple short weeks which will be welcome. 

What isn't welcome is that Jim's headed to Mansfield today. For the next two weeks, he'll work 4, 10-hour days and be home Thursday evening. He is not looking forward to this and I don't blame him. He was awake this morning before 4:00 which means he's going to be exhausted. Hopefully this job will go according to plan and in two weeks things will be back to normal. 

The weekend was pretty good. We didn't do anything Friday except chill at home. Saturday we went to Becky's, oiled up her new table and chairs and then played in the pool. It was lovely. 

Yesterday sucked for a number of reasons, the least of which was the Bengals stupid loss. While I was getting breakfast ready, Scout escaped and Jim and I had to run around the neighborhood trying to find him. This was Jim's fault and it better never happen again. Scout was wiped out after his little incredible journey but I still made him go on a long walk. From there, Jim and I headed out to shop because he needed a new shirt and shoes for Saturday. We stopped by Shooters for a beer then came home, did a little yardwork and that was all she wrote for Jimmy...he had used all the energy he had. While he napped, I read my book and waited for the game to start. What a bummer that was. 

It was around game time that Scout started limping. His left front paw was giving him fits. I checked it out and though it was a little red I couldn't see anything else. He couldn't even walk on it. Poor guy. I gave him a pain pill and carried him around so he didn't have to use it. He finally settled down and wouldn't you know it when we got up this morning, all was well. Not even a limp. WTF? He's so weird. 

I dread going to work today and I really don't know why. It's going to be an easy day and should be an easy week but I'm just not feeling it. I'm so sick of no rain too. This drought is really bumming me out. My yard looks like hell and I don't see relief at all any time soon. I guess I'm just deep in the Monday blues. 

Okay...that's all I've got. Guess I'll finish getting ready. Happy Monday. Later!
