Freaking Beat
February 14, 2007
I am so freaking beat right now.
My cousin Paula and her family arrived last night. I wasn’t expecting to see them until Tuesday morning, so I kind of procrastinated on cleaning the place a bit. I should have been cleaning since last week, but just couldn’t bring myself to start – probably because I felt and still feel pretty overwhelmed by what has to be done here.
I didn’t think they would come over Monday night because their flight came in around 8:30 at night, they had to pick up a rental car and they are going to be staying at a condo in Waikiki. I figured that they would be beat and would just head to the condo – but I was wrong – very wrong.
I was in the living room wiping up some dust and I looked out the window to see this van pull into the driveway – ach. I had so much crap out that I was working on putting away before they came over, but they came over before I was ready! Ach!
Thankfully they didn’t stay too long and so I started working – well sort of – I put in the copy of BloodRayne that I borrowed and ended up half watching that and half working. Wow! What a crappy movie that was. It was quite unfortunate since it included a pretty interesting cast – Kristanna Loken, Michael Madsen, Michelle Rodriguez, Meat Loaf, Billy Zane, Udo Kier and Ben “Ghandi” Kingsley. But the writing was bad, the story line was boring and there was quite a bit of unnecessary nudity in the middle that wasn’t there as a plot point, but just as something to hopefully keep the viewers’ attention, but didn’t.
Anyways, I didn’t really start working until 4am and got to be around 6am. I only got about 3 hours of sleep before I had to get up and vacuum.
We went out to breakfast and then came back to the house and started cleaning. Yikes, Paula’s husband is a cleaning machine. He completely cleaned up the kitchen, which is completely awesome. I cleaned up the bathroom and moved the kitty litter to another room for the time being. But, I also tried to entertain the kids a bit, helped Paula a little in making the program for the funeral and tried working on the living room a bit. But, it was hard as the day went on since I was so tired. It’s weird, my legs are hurting now and I am just pooped.
I didn’t get much done after they left, but I don’t know if I feel like sleeping just yet. The cat handled herself pretty well. She kept to herself most of the time and hid from the kids when she was awake.
My other cousin Jeff arrives tomorrow and then the rest of the family arrive on Thursday. Ugh, so much to do. I still don’t know where to start.
