One day closer to death

Although my schedule isn't as bad as Tom's (but he's a whore)
the next two will try me. Today early morning, tomorrow late
night. Saturday, 6am to 8pm. Can't wait for that joy ride.

My brothers house is coming along nicely. He hopes to be in
sometime late next month, just in time for Winter! All he's
gone through will be worth it. The next challenge will be
dragging all of his stuff out of storage and getting it in the new
house. The old house should come down any time now. He
wants that done just as badly as the new house being finished.
Ask him about the State grant he got. 20K for a septic system.
You see, we have a "flush tax" in Maryland- and because of
where he lives, the grant money comes easy. He applied and
was approved almost immediately.

Last night at 1am (or should I say "this morning?") HSN was
selling Christmas junk. Battery powered light up wreathes.
Need a plastic Christmas tree and plastic decorations to go
with it? They got it and will ship it to you. 3 months to the
day from the "big event." Give me a break, can't we wait
another month or six weeks?? Is that too much to ask?

I'm battling sleep right now- so another pot of my super duper
traffic stopping extra caffeinated coffee. This is an exact
science requiring mixing several different types of beans in
order to maximize the punch. Let me get at it while my
eyes are still open!
