I probably shouldn't feel like a damn rockstar for spending the last hour paying bills, taking care of obnoxious paperwork for next school year, and making a half dozen appointments for me and the kids, but I do. Now I'm off to celebrate my productivity by drooling at Alexander Skarsgard's abs for two hours.
H and I started watching this show on Prime last night called Pioneer Quest. Its a Canadian reality TV show from like 2001, only one season.
These two couples have to basically live like pioneers from 1871 FOR A YEAR; complete with only using items from around that time period. Build their own shelter, dig a well, plant crops, care for livestock etc. It is INTENSE. No wonder there was only one season.
I like to think I've got a decent amount of survival skill in me, but holy shit I would have died on day 3.

I know what I'm doing tonight! Sitting on my couch, eating food that was delivered to my door and talking about how much better I would have done that these people (idea)

BF and I watch Alone on the History Channel and it's 10 people just dropped on Vancouver Island with, like, 10 tools or something and they film themselves and are TOTALLY alone and it's just whoever lasts the longest. They're currently on day 56 or something and I would have been like the guy who tapped out before it even got dark on the first day, lol.

One lady was bitching about her skirt being heavy and getting all muddy and I was like "TIE IT UP YOU DUMB BITCH! DONT YOU KNOW ANYTHING??"
And then she like, dug a well and cut down trees I shut up.
A word of caution, there are some unpleasant scenes showing animals being slaughtered and I had to have H fast forward because I'm a hormonal wreck.

I've been having terrible, anxious dreams. Two nights ago, it was being back in HS and having my German teacher ask me to do a big project for his advanced class, but my German was as rusty as it is now. All kinds of freaking out and feeling inadequate.
Last night, it was tornadoes. My dogs were running around outside and I couldn't get them to come back, and my kids were with their sitter (who seemed very nonchalant about the whole thing) instead of with me. Awful and scary.
I hate when nasty dreams stay with you and color the day.

This day can fuck right off.
Huge storms coming tonight - including tornados. Our basement leaks with really heavy rain and the ground is already wet because we woke up to storms yesterday morning. I'm so over it.
And I discovered that our chest freezer in the garage isn't working. It's running, but not cold enough inside to freeze the cup of water I put in there 3.5 hours ago. Omg. We have so much meat in there. Luckily we can bring it up to my parent's house but they won't have room for everything.

This happened to my parents and I made an hour's trip to go get their food. My husband thought I was insane but that shit costs money. Why let it go bad if you don't have to.
Also, I figure I get brownie good daughter points. Lol.
Ugh. It's the worst! Luckily the storms have fizzled for our area and stayed way North...... I think we might be in the clear.
H just brought a laundry basket of food to my parent's house..... We were able to make room for everything else in the house fridge except the stuff that was at the way bottom that we forgot even existed and don't care about.
I've got some kind of itchy rash on my body. In weird places- like in the crook of my elbow. In between my pinky and ring finger. In my cleavage. Back of my knee. I have no idea what it could be but I'm uncomfortable and don't know what to take- can't do Benadryl it makes me too sleepy. Bleh
I don't know how to break it to you, but you should talk to a doctor about scabies. The whole family will need to be treated from head to toe. Twice. And you'll need to do a hot water wash or quarantine of all cloth things.
It goes around preschools and nursing homes. It takes months after the initial bug transmission for symptoms to show up. It won't go away on it's own and is highly contagious.
