I’ve written a few entries here the last two days but at the last moment made them private. I dunno most of my entries just feel like complaints now.
My husband went to go play D&D this morning which entails me getting up at 6am to ride with him an hour away to his friend from colleges house and then they drive another 2 hours to the place to play. I then drive an hour back home. So I’ve been up since 6am and have driven around what feels like the rest of this day. I’m tired and burnt out. I wanted this to be good day but by now I’m aggrivated and tired.
It might be one of those rare weekends now that my son will be around to spend time with him I should be enjoying it. He’s going to start work tomorrow. I wound up spending 100.00 for his clothes for work. He’s a big kid and we kept having to go up in sizes to get something to fit him and the pants we settled on still look kind of snug on him. I do know with him working he probably won’t be spending time snacking all the time. So that’ll be good for him.
My thing is he’s very specific about what he wants or whatever and I get it so am I sometimes but at the same time I’m buying this stuff so can we just get something and go? He’ll probably be working maybe 20 hours a week I imagine so I got him two pairs of work pants black work shoes and socks. If he wants anything else later on he can get those things himself.
I’ve also eaten every meal out today and now feel like vomiting. Like I’m talking breakfast of chick fil a, lunch of Mcdonalds, Starbucks and then jimmy johns for dinner. UGH. I need to not eat anything out for the next month.

But we left Walmart and headed to Mcdonalds. I did only have a kids meal there. It’s our usual Saturday when husband plays D&D treat once a month. We then went to the dollar tree next to McDonalds. From there I went to Barnes and Noble and that’s where we had Starbucks, I then stopped in Lowe’s because he wanted some sort of light bulbs which led to him talking about light bulbs for an hour. I sometimes think he’d talk for hours on end if he could.
Oh we also had stopped at Walgreens because I was looking for something specific but they didn’t have it.
We came home finally and I washed his pants and things since he’ll need them tomorrow. I went through our front closet and threw out some old pairs of shoes that needed to be tossed. I also put away a few things around the house and gathered up all my barnes and Noble bags that have been sitting for the last 2 months. I literally have a problem with shopping there. I don’t belong in that store again for a year. For every one book I usually finish I’ll go buy 6 more. I’m never going to get through this massive pile. I get there’s worse ways to spend my time but I do need a reality check for sure.
We just went back out and ate dinner and then I dropped off a pile of books for the free little library. There’s never anything good when I go there and all the book I drop are always gone seeing as a lot of them are new releases that I finish and don’t want to keep. So yea I’m beat. I had a huge list of things I needed to get done around here but didn’t but whatever I guess.
It doesn’t help that it’s sooo hot out today that makes me agitated as well. I’m done with hot weather.
I haven’t even sat in my swing at all this season so I really need cooler temps to go use it some.
This entry is all over the place.
I do like writing over here though because there’s just more life than OD which is just limping by.
I’m off for the rest of the night. Think I’ll just be reading and calling it a night.
