Sidetracked!

I have fallen into the summer habit of staying up late and sleeping late.  (Thank you Daylight Savings Time!)  When I get up, I generally lounge around in my robe, doing nothing but sit in front of the computer, until noon.  I finally nudge myself to get busy until it is time for Dr. Phil on TV.  Heh heh.

Today, I was sorting and organizing the usual crud around here, when I got a call from my niece's husband, Danny, who is a trucker.  I was totally shocked to hear from him.  "How far are you from Brooklyn, IN?"  Not that far!  Laurie and Danny live near Springfield, IL.  Neither of them has ever been to my little house-on-a-slab.  Danny was looking for a place to shower (for free--but more for a chance to visit), and asked if I had someplace to park a semi.  Uh...no!  After some discussion, I directed him to the Flying J on the south side and told him to call me when he got there.  I met him for their buffet, then brought him to Plainfield to a book store (because he needed reading material), then drove him around my haunts, and stopped at my house for his shower.  He seemed to want to go back to the truck right away because he has to be on the road in the wee hours of the morning, so we went back to the Flying J.  There went my evening!  It was good to see Danny, but I wish I had had enough warning to do a bit more cleaning.  Oh, well!

Thankfully, Meg sounds better.  She has been pretty sick for a week.  I was worried about her.  She didn't even get to enjoy her time sans children last weekend because she was flat on her back...and Nathan spent most of HIS non-kid time sleeping.  Nothing got done at their house in the children's absence, but maybe that's okay.  Sometimes a do-nothing weekend is just what the doctor ordered!

Tomorrow, I have a meeting at school to plan for summer school which starts next week.  I guess I am ready for summer to be over because I am just floundering on my own time.  Kind of depressing, actually...

Bedtime!
