pain and suffering.....

ok, so.....i am half-way through an aquatic boot-camp......and i must say that i hardly notice discomfort in my ankle these days.....what with the aches, pains and strains screaming from muscles and joints elsewhere in my body.....most of the other participants are women my age and in similar states of fitness so in some ways it is a nice Tuesday/Thursday evening Saturday morning outing.....if not for the grueling stints with weights, elastic bands etc.....i am fighting the urge to go back to bed.....but there is so much to do....i really must clean out my closet and get a load ready for the goodwill...and i really must weed my flower and vegetable beds...and i really must water the greenhouse.......there is more but i really would rather put my jammies back on and climb in bed......sadly, this would require me to get up out of this chair and climb the stairs.....not so certain i could rally the strength.....

heavy sigh

ok, so.....i cannot recall the last time i blogged...long enough ago for me to hesitate when i signed on to the account...i got up early on this first saturday in june to serve the steak and egg breakfast for the rotary club.....i had forgotten that this was an angst-ridden assignment....the semi-buffet line is served by the club members, but the supply of each breakfast item (biscuits, steak, eggs, hash brown casserole, white gravy) is managed by beef fesitval organizers.....as a reformed food service professional, the lack of organization makes me want to scream...but not enough to volunteer to organize the event myself......we ran out of steak before we ran out of sdvertised hours of operation....and when i told the lady taking tickets at the door that we could only serve steak to 6 more folks, she turned on me with hostility and asked me what she was supposed to do about it....to which i replied that she had better not sell more than 6 more tickets.....gracious......i stopped at the krogers on my way home....i had to call my spouse to repeat the list that i left on the kitchen counter....and one last stop...at the greenhouse hidden off bellows mills road to pick up the pepper plants that i have neglected to buy....i have the plants staged just outside the garage...and i could go on outside and plant them...or i could tackle the guest room.....we will have guests for the band festival afterall...and that means that i must complete my exhaustive sorting project in the guest room......find someplace to put it all by Thursday.....or throw it away.....i could re-cover the bench on the side desk with the oilcloth that just arrived....and hem the tablecloth that will complement the new cover...i have enough fabric to cover seatpads..the fourth option would be to take a nap and defer the choices/chores to another day.....
