One of those weeks!

Well, it's been "one of those." Monday we were slammed at work, which is not unusual for a Monday. Hubby & G'dad were driving back from T County and I knew they wouldn't be here any too early so I decided to go with all of the office compadres to a nearby bar & grill where the office "big cheese" was treating us all to drinks and hors d'oeuvres in appreciation of our hard work which resulted in a record "high" month business-wise. It was nice to sit around and relax and chat (and EAT) with the coworkers. They serve my favorite crab dip so I enjoyed some of that, but unfortunately, we had had a late lunch so I wasn't very hungry! :(
I got home about 2 minutes after H & GD drove into the driveway, they were still unloading the car. As you might know, H (hubby) had taken G'dad home just 5 days before but ended up bringing him back out here because G'ds 95 year old sister passed away on Sunday. So I am taking him down to the funeral in TX. It was originally going to be on Wed. so I called and cancelled Wed morning dr. appt. Also on Monday, an old friend called and HIS dad had passed away on Sunday also and his funeral was going to be here Wed. so I told him I wouldn't be able to attend as I would be in TX. Then I found out AV's funeral was changed to Friday, so without thinking of other funeral I called and got dr. appt. put back to Wed. then found out the funeral that was here was at exact same time as my appt. so had to call and cancel it again. I'm sure they think I am a moron. Took Tuesday off work as a personal day, had anticipated hubby's return home and would've been first time in over a month we'd had any time alone so thought it would be fun to just hang out together, relax, and do whatever we wanted. Also, it was one year anniversary of my hairy appendix ordeal so I wanted to bake some goodies and take up to the hospital to the nursing staff, to show my appreciation for their care. So, I made a crockpot full of Penny's good sweet-n-sour meatballs (with the pineapple tidbits in them) and some German chocolate bars and took that up to them Tuesday afternoon. But since we weren't actually alone, we didn't just go out running around so stayed at the house most of the day, which I did enjoy. I miss my time at home, now that I am working full time + some. Had to put my car in the shop that day for transmission problem so yesterday had to get up at 5 AM (an ungodly hour for humans to be up and about) and take H to work then stop by hosp and p/u my crockpot (and leave some Butter Pecan Cheesecake bars for the day shift people) then got to work by 7:30, left at 8:45 and went to that funeral. By the time it was over and I was back to work at 10:30 I felt like I'd already put in a hard days' work!!! (Car is still in shop and should be finished today - I hope so, or I won't be making it to TX for funeral!) Then found out that AC & UJ were also going to attend the funeral in TX so asked them to stop by and get G'd so he could be there in time for the visitation tonight, as I wouldn't possibly be able to be there before about 11 p.m. tonight. So they are. But I am now thinking I will not even head down there tonight but would rather get up at 4 a.m. tomorrow and leave here by 5 to get to the 10 a.m. funeral. BECAUSE, if I get down there at 11 p.m. tonight, (we are staying at cousin J's house) and she would keep us up talking until at LEAST 1 a.m. then since I would be sleeping on pull-out sofa in living room (not the most comfortable thing I can think of) then when the first person wakes up in the morning for coffee, probably about 6 a.m., then it would be "get up" time for me. So, I figure I can stay here, sleep in my own comfortable bed and get 7-8 hours of sleep and still make it. So, that's the plan for now. Still have to call and get that dr. appt. rescheduled if they'll even take me again! Plus had projects at work that I MUST get rolling on so that's another pressure on my time! I just feel a little ...... out of sorts? .... no, ... flustered? I don't know what the word is but just suffice it to say I don't feel like things are rolling along smoothly like I'd like them to be. People dying really puts a crimp in your schedule sometimes, doesn't it? :) It was not a good week for all that! But seriously, I know AV is much better off now and was very ready to go. I don't know about other person, just pray the same goes for him as well.
Well, guess I should get busy on some of those pressing projects I was speaking of. Sorry such a boring post but I don't have time to be creative or witty at the moment.
Maybe next time it will be more interesting.
