Blah ...

That is exactly how I feel today. Tired ... and lazy ... and, just, all-around "BLAH". I have no idea why, but I woke up feeling extremely tired today. I could have gone back to bed and slept for another two or three hours -- easily. Except they are doing some tree work today near our house. They started early this morning (well, "early" for me -- around 8:00), and it's been a constant buzz and drone of chainsaws all day long. I'm past ready for them to be finished, and I hope they can do all the work today. I will be so unhappy if they are back tomorrow. I know I'm being unreasonable. The trees are dead, and they need to be removed. And, I would be very unhappy if they fell on our house or fence. Still, this noise is so annoying -- like having a giant mosquito buzzing in your ear all day long.

I have so much work to do, too. I have a ton of housework calling my name -- laundry, need to vacuum, need to mop, need to clean the bathrooms (always such a treat >.O). Plus, I really need to get moving on this new story I started. I finally, I think, figured out a direction for it, and I'm actually excited about this project. At the same time, I do not feel like doing any of my work. I feel just draggy and exhausted. Too tired to think, even. It's the strangest feeling, especially since I managed to get to bed early last night (for once). It's probably a factor of too many late nights all in a row. I have this tendency to wave my night owl flag on a regular basis. *nervous laugh*

I did manage to get the family room and our second floor straightened up. Also, I packed up a couple of boxes I've been needing to send out. Hopefully, I'll get to the PO later today -- if the tree trimmers leave, that is. They are parked in front of our driveway, blocking us in. It's not much, but ... hey, it's something to show for the day, right?

On the non-whiny front, I got a new desk lamp yesterday. It is LUV. It has a silver/chrome base, twisty spindle, and blue glass shade. Plus a dimmer switch. It makes me want to sqweel in happiness, although I feel a bit silly about that since it's "just a lamp". The dimmer switch might prove troublesome, though. My daughter has discovered it, and it is currently one of her favorite new "toys". She keeps running in here to turn the light down. o.o

I also got a new cel yesterday -- an early Mother's Day gift. Yes, I know I'm lame, but I love it when my hubby tells me I can shop for my own gift. (hee) I managed to update it this morning, so I guess that's one more thing I can add to my list of "accomplishments" for today.

Oh! And, I should have DVD goodness coming my way today. I ordered the Fummoffu box set and the last dvd for Mahou Tsukai Tai off of Amazon. We are "Amazon Prime" members (because we shop there way too much), so we get free two-day shipping. Yep. I might be tired, but lots of good things going on today.

Woo Hoo! We need to take over the world, I think. If we did, it would run a lot better -- and be lit in a fashionable and stylish manner, too. ^.~ I would buy the "oops" paint, too, but I have nowhere to store it. So, I totally understand doing that. You never know where you'll find the "perfect" place to use that accidental color.

Good news is that the tree trimmers left. They are not back today, so I guess they finished yesterday. YAY! ^.^
