Labor Day is Exhausting

I should be painting the fence, on my way to painting the porch from steps to ceiling. I'm fighting sleep.

I knew Tom wasn't going to show up. He sent 2 short emails saying he'd be here at noon. He also mentioned that he had a pain clinic appt. ... on Labor Day. No big shock when noon rolled around and he wasn't here and I got sleepy as the afternoon dragged on. Lazily unloaded the car and didn't even get around to drying out the canopy until 5:30 - from yesterday's rain at the Lincoln City show. I was lucky that the baskets seemed to have enough air circulation that nothing nasty developed among them.

Called Tom at 5pm. His father wasn't his usual friendly self and had to wake Tom up. Tom was confused. Mentioned being taken off more meds and having to be at his lowest dosage yet. I think he needs to get out of bed and get his circulation moving. No wonder he's confused. He isn't living. He did talk his parents into getting a computer that actually works. Now if he can just figure out how to get one for me.

I need to get out and put some paint on my gate and more of my fence, but I am not feeling all that energetic. I think I burned out an extra day's worth yesterday driving home. I still have the sore throat I had when I woke up in my car at the campground yesterday. If the soreness is from snoring, I must have really been sawing on it, but I don't really have any symptoms of any illness to go with it.

Thinking that this week's baskets should be fun and useful and different. How about some large and small totes with webbing handles and how about some potato masher market baskets..... sounds like a plan. Dogs need walking, wet noses nudging my hands, still haven't found a bra to put on and there are market things drying on the hood of my car and I'm far too burned out to walk the dogs and there's that fucking fence that needs more paint...took me about 4 hours to paint a third of it last week - on just one side. I hate lattice - and it was just primer. Will somebody please clean my bathroom?
