Into Labor Day Weekend

Today I will not worry about our hurricane plans. I will take the Blue Bug out to top off its tank, but that will be because gas prices are lower than I’ve seen in months, not because of any threat from Gustav.

Today I will help backwash the pool. And pretending that our backyard has been liberated of evil terrorist spiders, I will swim for the first time in over a week.

Today I will steam clean the foyer rug. Again. And look into getting some Depend outfits for a few of our furry friends.

Today I will attend a “real” college football game for the first time in my life. None of the three colleges I attended had football teams. And sorry UMHB, but the fledgling football team they had still so soon after going co-ed was about as close to serious college football as Palin is to being a serious VP candidate.

Today I will make some more of my best french toast ever for breakfast. Without the garlic.

And today I will try to catch up on the sleep I’ve been missing this entire month. All of it. All today. Which might mean I might not get all the rest of this done today. But there’s always to morrow.
