We had a pretty normal not much happening weekend though I am excited that my Hubby put up our above ground pool. It’s not a huge one and about 5 foot deep but it is big enough that you can have a couple of adults in it and you can float on mattresses and not take up all the room.
Looks sort of like this one:
At least by next weekend the water should be warm enough to actually get in it and enjoy it. We are expecting about 95 degrees all week. I can’t wait!
This week so far I have just been a slug. Even more so than usual so that is pretty bad. Yesterday I couldn’t seem to stay awake for anything. All I wanted to do was stay in bed and say “phooey” to pretty much anything and every thing. Couldn’t get motivated at all. I hate it when I have days like that. Makes me feel like a complete bum.
I’m hoping today will be better and I’ll be more motivated to actually accomplish something, anything besides parked on the couch with a remote. The only good thing about being a bit of a couch potato is I at least crochet or attempt to knit while I watch TV so it isn’t a complete waste of time.
I’m attempting to knit a kimono sweater for my upcoming granddaughter and I have been crocheting socks for this winter for both myself and Hubby. I have mine done and am working on the second one of his. I trade off between the crocheting and knitting because I found out just how bad my hands are when I started knitting. My thumb on my left hand will kill me after a couple of hours knitting. Crocheting doesn’t bother me as much so I’m doing both at the same time.
Works pretty well since I don’t get bored as easily as I usually do.
Hopefully I can get my act together and be more productive for the rest of the week.

I’m looking forward to cooling off in the pool that’s for sure. Nay, only slug around here is me :0)

The pool sounds wonderful and I love that cat picture. My cat Bing has the same pose!

I thought the cat was a pretty good substitute for me and a great representation. I have got to get motivated.

Hell, don’t worry about it. Ever read any Charles Bukowski’s writings about going to bed for 3-4 days? He offends a great many people but I understand most of what he says concerning alleged laziness. He says that after he emerges from his self-imposed darkness, the brightness of the sun and his sense of smell of the out of doors are never more keen. He goes on to say how much better he feels, that is, until he sees his first human being. Funny crap. But then again I have a very twisted sense of humor.

I’ll have to check him out since he sounds like my kind of guy. :0) I haven’t had this last for 3-4 days thank goodness but I do have to agree that you notice things more. I like twisted, more fun than normal humor which can be rather boring.

I want to jump in the pool right now and float around on a mattress while sipping a margarita. Oh yeah. The only productive thing I did this week was laundry and I hurt my hip muscle which set me back in my physical therapy – PT guy really worked me over and I managed to walk out of the facility without using a crutch thank Gawd. I’m being very slug-buggish and sitting with icepacks, blogging, reading, and doing nothing except getting ready to run away to the country for a few days. So I’ve started packing – but lightly coz it’s only about 3 1/2 day trip. Just a tiny bit of peace and quiet. And woods, and birds, and deer, and no dieting, and the hot tub…plus there’s no cell reception so no laptop or cell phone only satellite tv and True Blood is a rerun this week so I’m golden! *sigh* Wish I could knit…

I’m ready for the pool but can’t use it before the weekend cause Hubby has to shock it before we use it. I don’t understand the reasoning behind it but all I need to do is put on my swimsuit and walk out there and the pool should be shocked enough. :0)
I hope you get all the kinks worked out soon with your back and finally heal up. Sounds like you have a nice weekend planned. Hang in there with the knitting, practice and videos make perfect or at least workable. Did you start your knitting class yet?

Aw, I no likie the days with no drivie. Though, they are far and few between. It’s not about slug and no drive. It’s about slacking on the ‘what I should be doings’ to do whatever the high he!! I feel like.
And, on a rare occasion when the kids are just dropped at school and I know hubby is totally busy and not around to drop in at the house — I lay down for a quick snoozer! It’s tough during the school year — I work three peeps schedules and fit myself into the 4ths!
LOL!
Oh, congrats on the pool!!!!!
