Humpday

My parents are down in the dumps. They sounded awful when I talked with them yesterday.
My dad doesn't feel like going out for a stroll. He isn't interested in the Tour de France, he even doesn't watch soccer anymore.

Now THAT is weird.

I think they are both fed up. Literally.

It doesn't help that my sister and her manfriend have decided to spend their vacation trying to sail to England. It must scare my parents. Frankly, it kind of scares me too. They are excellent sailers, and they wouldn't go if the weather was bad. But the North Sea can be so damn fickle.
So that's one big worry for them. Not having anything to DO (they now have help with the household chores) must bore the pants off them.

And here I am, fretting about it all, and not being able to just hop on a plane and go see them. With Bugs starting her job, PH not being able to babysit, because he still works his ass of at the old boss, open to close almost every day, because one of the managers is off on her honeymoon, and another one broke his foot, yadda yadda, yadda...not my problem, but it doesn't help.
Someone would need to take care of Wheelie, not 24/7, but around dinner time, going to bed and getting up time. He doesn't want me to hire a 'nurse'. I guess it's not just MY decision, and I have to take everyone's issues into account.

Yesterday I put together a simple cubby shelf for Boo's room. I used a regular screw driver and it really did a number on my shoulder and my elbow. This morning that side was painful enough to take Advil.
But the cubby looks cute!
:>)

I am obviously not in much of a mood to write. But I didn't want to left y'all hanging either.

For those of you who pray, and for those of you who send good vibes, or hug a tree, please keep a friend of mine in thoughts as he is going through a second knee replacement operation.

In the meantime, I've done my best today, cleaned an vacuumed the bedroom, even washed the windows. Time for some loitering and noshing.

SGMKJ!
