Well, I might have overdone it a little yesterday.
I got up and kept going most of the day. Tried to nap, with no luck. I emptied the dishwasher, reloaded it, did 3 loads of laundry, washed various dishes by hand throughout the day. My brother was having friends over, and wanted to cookout. Well I ended up basically cooking most of it for him, which doesn't bother me at all. That included steak, chicken and porkchops. As well as grilling a bunch of veggies. Then I had also promised my husband italian food when he got off work, so I made a second dinner for him for later.
By the time I sat down and was eating with Matt later, the back pain really started to kick in. I pretty much thought I was going to have to make a stop at MGH again. Luckily I didn't.
So today I got up early and was only up for like an hour, and went back to bed. And God must really have been on my side today. I slept on/off, but it was mostly on, and was able to stay in bed until about 1:45!! Lazy, I know. But if I'm not laying down in bed, I can't force myself to stay still.
So then I get up, and I'm just thinking of the PACKED dishwasher I have to empty, and then both sides of the sink that are full of dishes to start reloading and handwashing, cleaning out the refrigerator, going down to do at least 2 loads of laundry today.
And I come downstairs....And I see all the shoes on the little foyer rug lined up all nice. And I'm like Hmmm...that's weird. And I'm walking through to the kitchen, and see other little random things are straightened up.
I get to the kitchen, and see the "clean" light for the dishwasher isn't lit. When it's done running this little "clean" light comes on, and it won't go off until the dishwasher has been opened and reclosed. So I figure someone thought it was already emptied, and went to put dirty dishes in it, and then realized I hadn't emptied it yet. I opened it up.....
AND IT WAS EMPTY!!!
Seriously, you don't have any idea how exciting this is. I had that fucked PACKED with dishes. Seriously stuffed. And the repetitive bending over and then reaching up into cupboards to put stuff away really bothers my back. So I threw the dirty stuff from the sink into it, which actually wasn't that much, handwashed 2 things, and went to open the refrigerator to see what needed to be cleaned out in there. ALSO ALREADY DONE!! Nick (my brother), must've gotten up this morning, and although hungover, done all this for me without me even having to ask. Although when he came downstairs, he did tell me not to tell anyone, lol. I told him not to worry, I wouldn't let anyone know he knew how to put dishes away, lol. Seriously. I was ecstatic.
So I just went and started a load of laundry. Nick's car is blocked in at the moment, so he said he was borrowing mine for him and his 2 friends to go out for a minute. I said sure. But then after he walked out, I remembered my car is on Empty, and my first stop was going to be the gas station. So I ran out to tell him, and he said no problem, he'd throw some gas in it. Which is pretty sweet.
So all in all, maybe this will be a better day than I thought.
I have a Goodbye Party that starts at 3, that I plan on showing up for for just a little while, and maybe only like 1 more load of laundry to do.
Okay, IDK what else to write about.
Have a great weekend everyone!!
