Shower Adventures: The Caulk Gun Strikes Back

My shower looks like an accident in a cake frosting factory. But hopefully it’s waterproof. And will last until I can pull together the funds to tear it out and fix it the right way, with new backer board and actual grout and all.

Went to see the “Sex and the City” movie with a bunch of girls from graduate school. And I say girls because they’re all in their 20’s still. I was the lone cougar. And then there was SH…the gay friend. We had a blast, but damn that movie is LONG. 2 hours and 20 minutes! With an 8:30 start we didn’t even leave the theater until 11:00.

I got home and am completely overwhelmed by the fact that I have someone coming in tomorrow to help get the house ready for guests this weekend. And it’s still a pig-sty. I haven’t accomplished anything since she left last Friday leaving me with a leaky shower to fix.

I can’t stay up all night and I can’t not work tomorrow to help her because there are such things as DEADLINES. I will only mention once the ridiculous pressure I feel to clean for the cleaning lady. And the ridiculous guilt I feel for thinking that I deserve/need/should hire cleaning help.

Then, tomorrow evening I’m supposed to go over to RS’s house to prep for the development table next week. I haven’t even begun my report for them and I can’t find the one that I wrote for April that everyone says they didn’t get (.mac mail sometimes acts all weird about sending attachments to large distribution lists.)

It was good to go out with friends and have some social time. And the movie was fun. But it’s another example of feeling punished by my schedule for having taken time to do something fun.

Good grief, I sound like a hot mess, don’t I?
