Thursday

So we had a second vote last night on our contract, and this time we got enough people to vote to meet the rules of our constitution AND the vote passed. So hopefully we have a new contract for next year and the board doesn't vote no.

I've been really tired lately because our bed sucks. We've tried various things to make it more comfortable, like a simulated goose down mattress pad and new pillows. It's not working. Last night I was so uncomfortable I went and slept on the guest room bed because it was slightly more comfortable. We really need to break down and get our new king sized bed, because part of the problem has always been that Kendall is a big man and we don't like touching while we sleep. But I want a Sleep Number. And they're expensive. And we're poor because of all of our doctor's bills and such. So we're going to try yet another type of mattress pad and see what happens.

Today was so nice out that I opened a bunch of windows in the house. It feels nice getting that fresh air in. The dogs are enjoying the smells and I'm enjoying the warm breeze coming in through the window. The kids are getting really restless with this weather. I'm dreading May if it stays nice like this. I'm just as distracted and restless as they are! I've had no desire to grade papers or doing anything that requires effort. Isn't that horrible? I just want to be outside enjoying myself, riding my bike, taking the dogs for walks, working on my landscaping.

For now I'll have to settle with a good book (trashy romance novel of course) and a nice warm breeze. And food on the grill. And a tasty beverage. :) Okay, I talked myself into a better mood. :) Sorry I've been so whiny this week.
