Waxing Philosopicalless

BySalamander

You know, I’m getting tired of reading my own entries. Maybe I should save time and simply cut-and-paste yesterday’s entry into today’s time slot.

I did get a call from the younger sister, who wanted to know if she could be of any help (unpacking, grocery shopping, whatever) this weekend. There really isn’t all that much she can do, but she is a whiz at gardening so I told her to come on over and I’d show her the area destined to become my little Eden once I can bend over enough to start weeding and planting.

I also made dinner last night; there was no excuse not to, since I was home all day. I took the lazy approach, and dumped a roast in a pot with potatoes, onions and carrots. Can’t say I slaved, but at least I’m starting to break the “where do you want to go for dinner tonight” habit we were falling into. I’m sure that fast food crap wasn’t doing my gut any good anyhow.

I feel like I should be waxing philosophically on deep subjects, since I’m spending most of my days with my legs propped up and a cat or two glued to my side. To be honest, the philosophical part of me seems to have dried up and vanished at the moment. I have no deep thoughts about illness, disability, inconvenience, or possible impending bad/good news. I’m just tired as hell and want to get more sleep. Oh, and I wouldn’t mind seeing my navel again, and being able to put socks on, if anybody is taking requests out there.

I suspect I cause my own problems half the time. Take last night. I got home around 5:00 and found The Professor hunched over his desk, grading papers. He had three tests to give last week, and so he now has huge piles of tests to be graded. Losing the weekend to company didn’t help…

I have no idea what it is I’ve caught, but it shows every sign of turning into a bronchitis. Between this and my asthma, these past few days have been miserable. My plan was to wring this illness for all it was worth to obtain sympathy from The Professor. He had a dental appointment after…

Even as I type this, The Prof is walking into his big three hour interview. This is the second interview for a job he really wants – tenure track for full professorship at a local college in their math department. He has to give a mock class to the members of the math department on…

  2. You aren’t the only one who is feeling that way about entries.

    At least you still have a sense of humor.

    Sounds like the cats are enjoying your time home too.

    Hang in there.
