My Weekend

Friday night's hockey game was probably the most exciting of the season. First two periods were not so great and I was actually tempted to go home because I was so tired. Going into the third period we were behind 5-1. The third period was the best hockey yet. We scored, 5-2; we scored again, 5-3; and again, 5-4; then we tied it up 5-5! End of the third period we were tied, overtime didn't decide it, so we went to a shoot out. AND WE WON!!!! Amazing game!!

Saturday, DH left early to go to curling and I started cleaning the house to get ready for the wine and cheese party. Got the living room, dining room, bathroom and hallway done (all looked very good!), then decided I'd better pop out to the store. That took longer than I expected, and I got home just before 4pm. Company was coming at 6:30. Got the table and sideboard ready to accommodate all the wine and cheese that would be coming. Got the extra wine glasses out of storage in the basement, washed and dried, and on the sideboard ready. Jumped in the shower and got myself ready. Tidied the kitchen. 6:30, just ready in time. Ended up sitting for about 45 minutes and started wondering if anyone was actually coming! But it ended up a great evening and I think everyone had a good time.

Sunday we ended up going out (after Coronation Street) for brunch with friends, which was great because we haven't done that for a long time. It was so good to spend time with them. I didn't realize how much I'd missed them. After brunch, we went out for a drive to a place that sells parrots. DH and I are thinking about getting a small parrot so we spent some time looking around and asking questions at a store that specializes in parrots. I think we've narrowed it down to a Lineoated Parakeet. They don't have any right now so we'll have to call back periodically to find out when they will get the next clutch of birds.

It was a good weekend, but I was really tired. Went to bed around 8:30-9:00, but do you think I could fall asleep!?! Not a chance! As tired as I was my brain wouldn't stop long enough for me to call asleep. I think I was still awake when DH came to bed at 11:30. So frustrating!!!

Today is Monday and it's back at work. I hate week-days. I really don't want to be here at work. I'm eating my salad for lunch and typing this, and I'd much rather be at home. These feeling seem to be getting stronger and stronger. I wonder if it has something to do with menopause? Maybe my hormones are out of whack. I should probably do a better job of taking that HRT the doctor gave me. I am starting to get a little grumpy so maybe it would help.

Anyway, I'll try not to dwell on my desire to be home and not here. Won't do me any good.
