commitments

Sometimes when you shoot your mouth off to make a commitment, you might want to step back...before you put a period at the end of the sentence...and say...'What if?'

For instance....What if...circumstances change before you have to perform this act of commitment and now you flat ass don't want to do it?

What if...you flat ass don't want to do it!!

I cleaned rooms today because I made a commitment. I was stupid. No I wasn't. I was being nice and I would have offered to do this 'act' because I just would have. But circumstances have changed and...even though I did what I said I would...I didn't want to. 

Ever since I became the 'official' Office Manager, my relationship with Bobbie has changed. Dramatically. If fact, she hasn't spoken a word to me since that day. That moment. I feel worse than a red headed stepchild walking the steps to the gallows being hung for stepping on an ant!. I kept saying...and you have heard me...I HATE housekeeping! This is not what I moved here for! I don't feel well! Everyone else heard me....but her. I guess. I said all of those exact words to her that very morning before that dreaded announcement. I think I expected what was such a strong friendship to not dissolve in an insant. I am disappointed.

I digress. I had made the commitment to work housekeeping...no matter what...when she and Raven had to go to the Children's Hospital in Houston which is today, tomorrow and Tuesday...perhaps longer if necessary. No matter how she feels about me, I would never let her down regarding this. It's not my nature. So I worked. And yes, hated every minute of it. I will have to do more on Tuesday but not much (I hope) since I have to work in the office tomorrow. I would have been off today. That didn't happen. I sweated my ass off. And it was busy. 

Thanks for listening.

I made marinara sauce for supper. It was quite tasty. If I could eat bread...I'd use it as a dip. The sauce that is. I can eat bread...but not as much as I'd like to with marinara. I'll be eating leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

I smell like a sewer. I semi cleaned out the fountain in the courtyard today. That was a 'cuz I wanted to' jobs. And I did it early before it got pig sweat hot. I used a shop vac to get most of the sludge out of the bottom. I had been letting it sit for almost a month to dry and evaporate naturally in order to do this and then I filled it back up and dumped a whole gallon of bleach in it. We'll see what it looks like tomorrow.

Come to think of it, I did several things today that generated lots of heat in the heat, but I only bitch about housekeeping. Huh.......

The Glades is coming on tonight. It's a new episode and I like that show. A repeat of Hawaii 5-0 was just on. I like that show, too.

I have to take a shower. I am making myself sick! See you later!!
