Mood- cranky
Health- questionable


I am so very tired and I still have so much to do to clean up after Hurricane Irene...


The leaves and small branches in the yard still have to be raked and bagged, the boarded up windows have to have the wood removed, numbered and stored, damaged branches on bushes and trees have to be cut back and sealed and the frozen foods that are taking up room in my in-laws freezer have to be brought home and re-stacked.

Today all I got done was getting the fridge and freezer scrubbed clean and ready to be refilled, and that only happened after a fight with my husband who wanted to 'wait until later' (something he just about chants, 'later' meaning 'never').  All day yesterday was 'waiting until later' on getting anything done so nothing got done.

I ended up doing the fridge and freezer alone as he watched a movie then came to tell me I was 'doing it wrong' with the required results... I told him to hush.

Tomorrow I will go outside to start the yard work... something I really cannot and should not do because of my health but if I don't do it things will never get done... sigh.  I have no clue how I am going to get those boards off the windows... I really can't use a ladder, but I have no choice.  The storm was Saturday and this is Tuesday... it is past time for them to come down already!  There is roof-line damage that needs to be repaired that he will 'get to later' that also cannot wait until this fictional 'later'!

His excuse for waiting on everything?  

"My stomach does not feel good..."

Seriously???  I live with an incurable stomach condition and my stomach NEVER feels good but things HAVE to get done and I still manage to do what I can when I can.

I am cranky... I am exhausted... yet I still managed to do way more than my body could handle in scrubbing the fridge from top to bottom today and he, who can tolerate going outside and walking and raking and climbing ladders could only sit in front of the TV and watch movies all day?

Yep... I am cranky... but still...
