Calculations

We have a local access channel on TV here that has the 'word of the day' and a little interesting fact 'o the day. Todays fact was a killer.

"In a year, the average person walks 4 miles making their bed." THEIR bed. Not everybody on the planets bed! 

I, when I have simply nothing to do, should calculate the millions of miles I walk here just in the course of one busy day. I punish myself. You know I whine...this will definitely send me flying over the edge. There are 36 beds on this property. Holy shit...this is criminal.

I hate housekeeping. Yesterday, the lady who works in the office wasn't feeling well when she got here in the morning. I hated to leave her alone, but I had to go to Ft. Stockton to VA with Husband. We just went up and back, but it was still almost 2 when I got back. Since I hadn't done anything...I take that back...I cleaned one stinking (and I mean that literally) room before I left and finished the stays when I got back...plus an unexpected out...I didn't go up and check on her until I was done. I know...I'm bad...but I knew it wouldn't take me long to get done so I was selfish. Anyhoo...when I got to the office...she didn't look any better than when I left. She's 70 and has diabetes but she didn't think the way she felt was diabetes related. Nevertheless, she felt bad. I told her I'd be glad to stay in the office so she could go home or to the DR or whatever she wanted to do. Her DR is in Marfa (25 miles west) and she felt bad enough that she decided to go to the ER.

They kept her overnight and thank goodness it wasn't any worse than it was. Evidently there were several things not quite right and the combination was not good for her. I know she is very relieved, as we all are. She plans to be at work in the morning so I can see for myself.

Now...me sitting in the office is interesting. I have no idea how to run the cash register or the credit card machine. Actually I do...I choose not to. So...I was glad no body wanted to buy anything. Unless they had exact change...I probably would have just given it to them! (I'm funny like that...) I am capable of making reservations and handling what ever needs tending too....I just don't want to. Actually, I was watching a movie on TV. 'Enough' with Jennifer Lopez. It's a good movie and I only got interrupted a couple of times. I was irritated...but I got over it.

You know what? I'm a liar.I actually like working in the office. Have I mentioned that I truly HATE housekeeping? Well I do. I may have to think this office sit-chee-a-shun over.

What a nice day today. Tomorrow is supposed to be quite windy. 

Husband and I have a meeting with a young lady from the Sul Ross Theater Group regarding having a fundraiser for them in April. I may have mentioned this before. I don't remember. There are 15 students in the group and they are going to Europe in May (I think). Husband had offered his cooking services several months ago...and I guess the time is here. They are very enthusiastic about it...and I would be happy to help them. Busy Busy. It should cost around $3,500 per student to go so they are serious about raising money. This is a good thing cuz they will be really helpful and I won't have to kill myself! I like that. But there's still lots to do and time passes quickly. tI will be fun.

Oh...the trip to VA? What a bunch of morons. It was a total total waste of time. Dr said...'I guess we need to give you a referral for a consult in Albuquerque. NO SHIT!!! Why...why...why couldn't this have been said on the phone!!! What a waste of time - gas - pure bullshit. DR said Husband would hear from Albuq by the end of the week. I plan on hurrying that along. He's miserable. Which makes me miserable. I stay miserable. I'm a miserable whiny bitch. And PROUD OF IT!! I come by it naturally.

Anyway...I'll got to work tomorrow morning till noon or so and then leave. Somebody else is supposed to be here tomorrow, too, be it Bobbie or Raven. Supposed to be. I'm leaving anyway. I'm tired. Got things to do.

I bought 2 boxes of Girl Scout cookies. I love the Girl Scouts. I was one. For 30 years or so. And I live for Thin Mints. Unfortunately...there are only 6 or 8 in the box now...not like when I sold them in the olden days when there were, oh, maybe 100 and they fit in your mouth whole and you sort of melted them a little and then broke them in half with your tongue and chewed them up with your eyes closed...savoring each and every chew...mmmmmm.....yeah! The other box is, I already forgot...round and coconut-y with a squiggle of chocolate. Very tasty! I used to really like Peanut Butter Roundups, too. And the Shortbread ones. What am I saying...I liked the ALL!

I have only eaten one cookie out of each box. I am being very good. I nibble. Like a mouse.

I suppose I should get some rest. And hope something is on TV. I doubt it. At least nothing I'm interested in anyway. Oh well..........Have a nice night!
