Sweaty and smeared with dirt or, I really should be putting my feet up.

I am the picture of beauty right now. It's currently 82f with 56% humidity. Lovely!

I was on the computer drinking my coffee and I heard clanking outside and saw that there were surveyors outside again. Still not mine.. but the ones for the lot next door again. Anyway, I went outside to water my plants since it's been in the 80s for several days and of course, to spy. After I finished watering I decided that I really did need to plant the dianthus' that I bought at Walmart on Saturday befor they became hopelessly rootbound. This was at 11 o'clock. So I'm in the front which is the east side of the house in the blazing sun at mid day. ( duh) planting 2 six packs of flowers. It didn't actually take that long.. but I had to get on my knee's.. and get up and dig holes etc... This is where the dirt and sweat came about. Not to mention the full force with which my allergies kicked in. Runny nose, itchy eyes and the like.

I desperatly need to hop in the shower and wash my hair etc. I have not had a proper shower since Monday afternoon. I do take frequent cool showers so I don't just burst into sweaty dirt smeared flames or keep people from having to stay a good six feet away from me.
Still, I'm not all that quick to get in the shower... I'm browsing baby items on ebay and I really needed to write somethingin here... Where does the time go.

Yesterday I was really busy. My whole day was scheduled, this would usually cause me a bit of anxiety untill the day was over.. but one of the things scheduled was a pedicure.. So it wasn't all a loss. So.. it went somethign like this: Work 8:30-12:30 ( with a 1.5 hour training session in there) eat something, Pedicure at 1:15, walk to Shawna's and then go to the opera house to process any memberships that have come in since I was there on Friday, get ride home from the city clerk ( bless you Luann!), putz on computer for an hour, drive to Madison for 6:30pm breastfeeding class scarfing Mcdonalds in the car on the way. Arrive home at 9:30. It was just way too busy for my liking. Exactly the kind of day that goes by so fast you aren't actually sure that it happened.

Since the "hot weather" started last week, my feet have decided to swell. They are truely huge, elephantine proportions. Sausages with little toes attached. None of my shoes fit. I even bought shoes in a size larger and they still don't fit. I can get them on, but only by shuffling around for 5 minuted to redistribute all the water inside of my skin. then when removed they leave the most amazing line divisions of puffy and squished skin.

I suddenly realized that I am hungry.
Must. go. eat. now.
