Keep fighting it…

For the past 12 hours, at least, I’ve been cleaning. I’m sure I could have accomplished it in half the time but that’s based on the fact that I kept getting side-tracked with other things. The bathroom took me about an hour, tile is a bitch to clean sometimes. I accomplished the kitchen, even having enough time while cleaning to throw some cookies in the oven for Sean. The living room is the cleanest I’ve personally ever seen it and now I’m working on my third load of laundry. Once I can get that into the dryer, I know for sure that I’m going right to sleep. My eyes keep freaking crossing on me.

Hoppers (yep, chose a name) wasn’t around tonight. I’m sure he was around the house but considering I can’t see what’s going on in the grass below – who knows. I just know he wasn’t on the porch to keep me company tonight during quick smoke breaks.

Sean and I attempted to head into a local mattress store tonight. We were on our way to the super market and wound up going across the street to this place first, not even sure if I remember the name but it also isn’t a chain so that may explain it. They’re running a deal right now where beds start in the $400 range, I’d say that’s a fairly decent price for a temporary bed. It’ll at least get us up off the floor and we can throw out the foam pads we’ve been sleeping on for the last few months. My back is finished, my hip is now acting up and I know he isn’t very comfortable either. Unfortunately, they were closed so we couldn’t look around to see what was on sale but I’m sure we’ll make a run over there tomorrow.

The reason for our trip to the supermarket was due to the fact that some bone head in the complex decided that they didn’t have any propane to BBQ and switched the tanks out on us. The gage is also missing a piece of glass so I want to assume they just unscrewed the whole thing, switched it out, then went from there. Sean noted that the cover for the BBQ never really stayed on properly and at first I was convinced that it was only the wind. Now I’m starting to think that someone has purposely been taking it off just to switch out the tank. I have no idea what actually happened but I can say that it’s not the tank we brought home a few weeks ago and we know neither one of us changed it out for an empty one.

I’m trying very hard to stay awake right now, I’m not sure how much longer I have left until I officially crash though. I do have to clean off my desk because it looks like hell. Then I have to head back into the kitchen and finish a few small things up. I just wish the damn dryer would work faster!
