The plan for today was to take pictures of some cards I’ve mad recently, but the sun decided not to play. It’s a beautiful day outside, overcast, cloudy, cool, and sprinkling. Later we’re supposed to have thunder, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. The 90+ degree weather eats away at my sanity, even with fans going 24/7 I feel sticky and no so sweet. So instead of bemoaning the lack of sunshine for pictures, I’m taking the day to get things done. Rainy day errands, I suppose.
I finally went to the bank last week and changed my name, so I went in today to order new checks…after getting coffee and dropping by the grocery for a few things. Luck was on my side and I was able to find an organic sulfate free shampoo and conditioner priced reasonably well. Several weeks ago I called the manufacturer of my current shampoo to double check it was gluten free, and the woman on the phone was such a snot. She told me to read the ingredients and hung up. I decided then and there to switch as soon the bottles ran down far enough to justify buying more. Today was that day.
After words I finally made it to the public library and got a card. The branch I went to was not as large as I expected it to be, but I managed to find a sack full of books to bring home. Unfortunately the branch closet to my house is the downtown one, and you have to pay to park. Bleck! Since I’m frequently up on South Hill running errands and shopping I’ll just order in what I want from Downtown and pick it up where I can park for free. Never say I deny being lazy and cheap.
Chris leaves tomorrow morning, and will be gone until Friday… then home over the weekend, and gone again all next week. This pattern should continue until the end of August, save for the week of my sister’s wedding… when he will most likely be working in town before we leave. Part of me is happy to have the time to myself, I’ll get to role-play, and live in a silent house (he always has -something- on the tv or radio)… and you know what, speaking of role-play, I need to go off on a tangent…
I hate being made to feel guilty about not playing in the evenings and on the weekends. More than one, heck, more than two people have been snippety with me regarding the fact I haven’t been in the room much lately. One even asked me to “pencil her in” today… after I explained that I wasn’t spending much time online because I want to enjoy Chris while he is here… and you know what, I don’t have kids, and I’m not currently working… but that doesn’t mean I have to be here all the time. Yeah, you have the weekends off, or your kids are bed in the evening… but that doesn’t mean I don’t have plans then.
There are very few people I put Chris & our animals on hold for, just my family and secret squirrels girls, I love them so much I’m willing to ask Chris (sometimes) if we can postpone or reschedule. If you’re not one of those people, it’s rare I am going to “pencil you in” for roleplay, especially when I’ve just finished explaining my busy week, weekend, and plans for yet another busy few days. Get over yourself. It’s not a slight to you, or your roleplay, I just want to be with my husband and fur babies.

I think Chris probably digs it. I imagine a woman taking your name is probably really sexy.
