Crowded Upstairs

Soooo tired. Only two teenagers showed up to be herded, but Alli brought her big sisters and Kevin had the day off, so between all of us we got the closet in order. Stuff is easier to find, I think, and we took a LOT of cardboard to the recycling center. Dropped in on the in-laws while we were in the neighborhood, but only Kim was home; joined her for an orange soda and an episode of House before grabbing dinner and coming home.

Back hurts, bad knee hurts, head hurts a little. The day got off to a bit of a bad start; I had a vivid, rather horrible nightmare about being trapped in a situation that was just a countdown to death. The polar ice caps had melted, and myself and other survivors were on sort of a small cruise ship, but we knew it was only a matter of time before the electricity and plumbing failed, and we had all accepted that we were going to die. Some were choosing to be returned to their homes to await their fates; others were handling it in different ways that I no longer remember. It was just a really horrible situation and I was so grateful when the alarm went off.

Otherwise, pretty good day. We had a lot of laughs, we got a lot done.

Now off to snooze like the nerd-king.
