Surprise!

So, guess what! My house is 95% repaired. Aside from one painting thing, it's like it was (but better) before that soggy day at the end of May. It's like a surprise party every time I walk in the front door and don't get stuck on the floor.

Side note: I'm not a fan of people who make it impossible to sit [in the empty seat] next to them on the train. Yes, lady, I'm talking to you.

I performed two shows on Saturday night, and it was a blast. A patron asked for my autograph after the show, so that was a fun first. Great shows and great audiences!

Well, I'm the proud owner of an undefeated Fantasy Football team. I had the highest score in the league this week. The Falcons (Turner and Gonzalez) deserve a lot of credit for my success.
It's almost time to make the rainy walk to work. Happy Tuesday, world!

I'm bloggin' on the train

That title is to the tune of "Singin' in the Rain."

Well I was excited to get home yesterday to see that I had no floors or furniture. One would think that would be a disappointment, but when you've been in limbo since May, it's relieving! Progress!

The downside of that is that the glue from the hardwoods is so sticky that it was hard to walk. I'm not saying "hard" in comparison to the norm; I'm saying it took a lot of leg strength to pull your shoes off the floor. I got more of a workout cooking macaroni than I did on the treadmill yesterday. Then I sat on the counter and washed the dishes. True story.

My Fantasy Football Team won its match and had one of the higher scores, although not the highest. I thought Drew(!) Brees was going to earn me a trophy for the highest-scoring player this week, but then Tom Brady had to go out and pass like a cyborg. Next week!

One more stop. Happy Tuesday!

Put me in, Coach!

Well, I performed two shows this weekend after a short hiatus, so that was fun. I felt a tiny bit rusty, but it was nice to be back. Something fishy happened on Friday night! (A creepy-eyed photo is going to be somewhere in this post, but I'm not positive where it will land.)

I'm playing Fantasy Football for the first time this year, so today is a pretty pivotal day for me! My QB (Drew Brees [Team Drew!]) played on Thursday night and scored more points than projected. I'm excited to watch the Falcons today; my Fantasy team is counting on them!

PODS delivered my unit yesterday, and it's the first physical symbol of progress! The work begins tomorrow and will hopefully be done by Friday. I can't believe I've been waiting for this since May. Hooray for hardwood!

I want a latte a latte.

Off to conquer the day (and the Bears)!

Dairy products

So, I started antibiotics today to fight off whatever I may have had. On the instructions, it mentioned not taking it two hours before or after eating calcium-rich foods, like dairy products. I can't name a time I've ever gone four waking hours without dairy, so I apologize to the medicine in advance.

After all those long months in a disaster of a home, the repairs are about to begin. None of the credit goes to the insurance company. In the past, I would have recommended my insurance company, but instead I'll recommend not having a lame water heater. Much easier!

Adios for now!

Cherry cough drop

Well, here I am waiting on the train. I was a minute late for my respective train, so I'm not going to get to work at the time I planned. As I sat down, I dropped  my granola bar on the train station floor, so I'm having a cherry cough drop for breakfast. Champion!

I spent much of the weekend on the bed, the couch,  sleeping, or sleeping on the bed or couch. I kept feeling like I was coming down with something, but then I'd feel fine the next day. Friday night was the end of that, though, where I shivered my way to a 102-degree fever. I'd never say I got to feeling awful, but I never quite felt right all weekend. I was supposed to perform on Saturday night, but had to pull out of the show.

Train alert! Hope everyone had a nice (yet rainy) Labor Day!
