bad blogger

since i miraculously have my to-do list down to single item for the moment, and have no choice but to take a break from it, in the interest of maintaining functional lungs and thus staying alive, i figured i'd take my break here and explain (once again) why i've been a bad blogger, and where i'll be for the next week or so.
(i don't know why i keep saying that after such-and-such-gig i'll have more free time- i should know by now that never works out because life just keeps happening- not that i'm complaining, but it doesn't consider siestas as important as i do, and that's a slight problem.)
so after my most recent stint @ the radio station, during my busiest shakespeare month (which is why i didn't get my damn drivers license yet) i realised that with alyfromcali staying here from may18-26, then dionne arriving mid-june to stay the rest of summer, i had to either get the floors done in the 2-and-a-half weeks between this realisation and aly's arrival from cali, or the 2-and-a-half weeks between aly's return to cali and dionne's arrival. since it was gonna be shitty either way until it's done and pretty, i opted for right now since grims has a show going up in june- of course, this is one of his busiest periods @ work, so it still killing him, but i think it woulda been harder when he was technically wukkin' 2gigs, instead of 1 busy one.
so since my last day @ the radio station, i spent the 1st week catching up on everything i didn't get done during my busy period of over-3-weeks-no-days-off, then jumped in on the floors. needless to say, this hasn't been helping my blogging.
we realised we wanted to sell our couch and some friends needed one, and our furniture could all fit in our basement without requiring storage if we lost it, so i been figuring out finding someone to do the floors fast enough that i can clean top-to-bottom and put the whole house back together before alyfromcali and cheap enough that we can afford it while giving ourselves enough time going in to get the whole house put away for the process, getting the couch removal organised and finding a new couch (only realising last night as we went looking that if they didn't have the one we chose in stock, we'd be livingroom-furniture-less while having a house-guest. living on the edge!) and after (thankfully) finding a couch we like in stock last night that'll be delivered tuesday, realised we need to live somewhere from friday night through monday morning while the shit gets done and settled, and need an entertainment centre (finally) because the chest our shit's been on (yes, it's another box- i like boxes) can't come back on newly refinished floors for a few days because its wheels are fucked up. and of course, i had a take-home book-prep from the radio station too (finished after the couch purchase last night) and shakespeare this friday and again the morning alyfromcali arrives, so there's not much "last minute" on putting the house away, or putting it back together. plus, i wanna have the drivers license by the time she gets here...
so today i got up early and i'm removing our years of accumulation to our basement (just getting over being sick and the asthma+allergies combo's not happy, but i'm excited at finally appreciating the basement, between the bookshelves+paint and now storage), working with grims on the accomodation situation (while he's @ work and running out for production meetings for that aforementioned show in june) and guessing we'll look @ entertainment centres online tonight.
the couch goes away tomorrow, but since we'll be exhausted tomorrow night anyway, we'll be bathing and going straight to bed after moving all the rest of our furniture i couldn't get alone. then on friday between my shakespeare gig and jake's b'day celebration @ raku (i'll consider it my reward for the previous days of schlepping shit) i'll come home, dismantle the bed, pack what we need for the weekend and check into the hotel (assuming we can find one in dc not already booked or prohibitively expensive). saturday we picking up shit we need for getting the house back together (since grims works monday- he wukkin' through most of this process) and sunday i'm catching up on all the other shit not getting done this week. hopefully i can get the drivers license taken care of between wednesday shakespeare and getting alyfromcali @ the airport...
i not lying though. i love that life keeps happening, with or without me. i just trying to hang on for the ride and keep my towel handy.
so after already being a bad blogger, i'm assuming i'll be non-internet-accessible for the weekend, and too exhausted anyway from now until next tuesday/wednesday.
i apologise to anyone who likes having the distraction from work, but promise i'll be back and in better form (the sexy new floors and couch and entertainment centre will be inspiring to sit among) next week, with tales of alyfromcali and the strip club.
walk good. talk soon.
