Driving driving driving driving

That's all I've been doing the past few days. The boss' daughter had some follow up doctors appointments this week. They can't seem to pinpoint what has been causing a constant ringing in one of her ears. That means a trip to the audiologist, then back to the ear, nose and throat doctor, then to an MRI, then back to the ENT doctor... It was fun at first, but now it's becoming a drag. We've had to cram a lot into this week because she is leaving to go back to Poland on Saturday. Tomorrow will be, HOPEFULLY, the last appointment. These doctors aren't close to the office,it's about a half hour drive away. So I have to wait around and it sucks. I have stuff to do at work! Stuff that I'm avoiding right now... I just got back to the office for the afternoon and I'm tired. Just gonna do some receivables and then go the hell home.

Speaking of hell, it's damn hot again today. But it's supposed to cool down by the weekend. I really hope so because I'm not ready for more misery. Well, who is EVER ready for misery? Pfft... This summer has been shitty though. I wasted vacation days doing nothing. We can't seem to get our shit together enough to go camping, we're broke...blah blah blah. Ron mentioned going to San Francisco for the weekend at the end of August. I'm hoping beyond all hope that nothing comes up financially or otherwise to ruin our plans. I want to go on a little weekend getaway with Ron SO BADLY. We haven't done it yet! I don't want our honeymoon to be the first chance we get to vacation together.

Hmmm...what else is going on... OH yea! I did some more art the other night! I got this pad of cartoon cell paper from that ladys house. You know...that lady...Melanies moms friend who passed away. I mentioned it in
this entry, the one with the house fulla stuff. She was an artist and loved cartoons so she had tons of great art supplies. Of course I had to get some of it! I had never actually drawn and painted on a cell before and I finally got the stuff out and did it on Monday night. I drew a tree and a rock for the backround on one cell, then my Pea Bird character sitting on a rock looking at a squirrel up in the tree on another cell. I outlined my drawings with black ink and then painted them with acrylics. I must say, it came out pretty good for my first try! And it was lots of fun. I'll have to try to scan it at work and post it. Maybe I'll have time to do that tomorrow after the doc appointment.

Well, better get to work. I get to leave in an hour. Woopies.
