boo doop be doo

ta da! I have returned from the weekend! not much to report. The weather took a turn for the hotter and more humid, which was ok. A chance to air out the house. Put up 2 ceiling fans - the living room now has a ceiling fan, as does the office. Yay us. Wasn't too much of a hassle, though I'm going to have to track down the reason why the office fan vibrates a lot. Sunday I got my haircut (the annual summer shearing), and then dumbly mowed the lawn at 1pm. Came into the house and drank an awful lot of water, then retired hurt with a migraine. Slept (with the aid of tylenol pm) from 6 until 6, so I guess the combination of hard work while a little ill plus caring for my sick bride conspired against me. I'm ok this morning, tho. With the exception of dumb drivers. A little explanation. I take I-435 S to work every day. This normally not too bad. Up to the State Line it's great - small amounts of traffic, few cops. After State Line, the Kansas drivers arrive. There is currently two sets of work going on in a 3 mile stretch of road - they're working on the bridges over Midland Drive. So the road goes from 3 lanes to 2 to 1. Now I don't have the best eyesight in the world, but even I can see and interpret the signs on the road side stating that there is roadwork ahead, that it's a 55mph zone, that there is the left lane closed 1/2 mile ahead, that the 2 left lanes are closed 1/2 mile further on, and then the freaking big blinky arrows pointing right. $!$!#@!!@! Then, I hit the offramp to 87th Street, and there is some idiot in his nice new SUV who is in the left lane, indicating a left turn, then pulls out into the right lane right in front of me, still indicating left. I mean, I can understand that the driver is a lazy plonker, but it's stupid in the first degree to pull that kinda crap. Anyhoo, weekend survived, and now back to the fun and games.
