This was a useless sort of day. On top of not having gotten much in the way of sleep last night, it was grey and gloomy all day, and I have had a headache from hell too. Therefore, my only major accomplishment has been putting flea goo on the cats and coffee grounds on the tomatoes.

I’m cutting myself some slack though. I did get some stuff done this weekend I hadn’t planned to work on, I am completely and totally hormonal, and this dreary weather has sucked the life right out of me as it always does. If I need to move a little more slowly, or not at all, for a few days, that’s OK. I’ve been working like a champ for days on end now, and I have gotten a lot done around here.

Besides, there are other things I need to do, like go get groceries. I should have gone today, but we are going to make do with what we have in the house tonight. As soon as I realized it was Cinco de Mayo today, I knew there was no way in hell I wanted to be anywhere near a grocery store. Have you ever been in a grocery store on the Fourth of July? Pure insanity with everyone wanted sodas, beer, chips, BBQ stuff and whatnot. Well, Cinco de Mayo is just like that around here. It would have been suicide had I felt A-OK. Going on a day like today when I feel like crap? It’s not even possible for me to consider the ramifications. Just trying to find a parking space would likely have given me nightmares for a month or two!

Speaking of making do with what’s in the house, I suppose I should go get dinner started. We are having pork chops, boiled potatoes and salad. The pork chops are so large (bone-in style) I am going to have to fry them individually, as only one will fit in my large skillet at a time. Oh … the joy of an extended dinner-making process!
