and it is pouring this afternoon, windy and dark.
Actually I also mean it in the "when one thing happens, a bunch of other stuff happens too" financial sense. Our county property taxes were due today....Bob the Builder was here last weekend and told us we need a new roof, some work done on a floor joist under the back door and god knows what else. Lee took my car to get an oil change today and they called to tell me that my front tires were bald....now what I want to know is, how could those tires have only lasted 15,000 miles? They are the original tires, and I just now have 15K on my car. One would think they would get more miles out of them. I had been noticing my traction was not so great lately...so I'm glad I've got some new ones. But still, that was $250 I wasn't planning for.
Also, next week is Thanksgiving, which means lots and lots of groceries and wine...even though we are going to Brenda's and only have to take a couple dishes plus wine, it still gets expensive.
Anyway. I went to Bikram on Monday and then again today. Today was a 75 minute class. Since it was shorter, I went all out. I sweated like an absolute pig and I thought man, I need to do this in the longer classes. This is some workout! Then when the class was about 2/3 done, James checked the thermostat and said "no wonder everyone is struggling, it's 110 in here."
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving lunch at the schools. Lee is going with Will and I am going with Michael. I love Michael's school so much. Yesterday he and I were distributing all the bags of spiritwear to the teachers and we walked through the auditorium where the second and third graders wait before school in the morning. Mrs. S, the third grade parapro, had put on music and she and all the kids were doing the Electric Slide. Today was an "80's" theme for "More Books, Please" week and the principal of the school had on a gigantic afro wig. Actually, now that I think about it, it might have been her real hair. HA!
I won't make it to Bikram tomorrow, but I will Friday, maybe once this weekend, and then on Monday. I might try to make it Tuesday night too. Then it won't happen again until Saturday.
It's very cozy and snug here right now....I've got the fire lit, the boys are watching a video called "Eyewitness (or "eyewiznet" as Will calls it) Volcano" and Michael is wearing his new yellow rainboots which came today from Lands End. He can't wait to wear them outside.
