Supposed

Bored. Quite bored. Allison and I were supposed to have coordinated days off today but she was offered extra hours and we're poor, so she's currently working.

So I was supposed to hang out with Marty all day. We’ve been aching for quality time. I called to find she wasn't home. She had to go to the hospital with Lo, who has bruised ribs.

No worries though, because I was supposed to be going to Marty's Girl #3's house for a BBQ this evening at 6:30. Oh wait, the BBQ was just canceled. M's Girls is sick.

So now what am I doing? I sitting here bored. Allison doesn't get off until 10:00. I'm hiding in my room. We have company and I look like a mess. I'm reluctant to leave my lair. I haven't even eaten today because my house has been abuzz with people coming and going since I woke up.

Usually I can occupy myself quite well. I'll read. Or putter around the garden. Or go for a walk. But nothing is holding my attention today.

I would love to go used shopping. Books, CDs or clothes. But now is not the time to spend money for pleasure. We're supposed to be saving for the big move.

Maybe a shower will perk me up.
