Gone on workcation!

Posted Wednesday, June 24, 2009, at 5:43 PM

I'm on workcation. You know, one of those breaks you take from your regular job to catch up on things you've let slide at home. Yes, I will have to go back to work at my real job soon just to rest!

I started with a list that kept growing to the point it finally just disappeared.

My workcation will reach its climax this weekend when we hold a YARD SALE! (A yard sale is the hardest work, and most insane idea ever evented!) Of course, we're in the hottest run of temperatures we've seen for a while. The only time you can actually accomplish anything outside is to start at 5 a.m. By 9 a.m. the air is so hot and heavy that your body just can't seem to respond to the orders you give it. It wants only one thing -- make that three -- water, cool air and sleep.

I've had great plans to go out late in the evening to do a little work, but by then, I'm really tired and am only interested in hitting the bed.

The Yard Sale will take place whether I have everything cleaned and priced the way I want it. I just hope a LOT of people will brave the heat to come on out for the best junk to be found anywhere.

Of course, as a grandma, I can't be home and away from my "job" without all the grandkids coming for a night or four. That's certainly made things a lot more interesting.

Honestly, I think the list disappeared about the same time the grandkids walked in the door. Priorities, man. Priorities!
