Tired and sore

I am just so tired. I feel like I'm almost always tired. And on top of that I'm sore from all the work I did the other day. The worst part is one area that is sore is actually the back of my knees. So anytime I stretch my legs it hurts or even walking. Not fun I'll tell ya that. It's almost where you don't want to stretch because of the way it feels. My back feels a little bit better thankfully. Anyway Tuesday right after I got home I had a lot of things to do. Unfortunately due to my stupid neighbor kids (I'm almost 100% sure they are behind it)...I had to spend a bunch of time cleaning up glass from our broken picnic table top. That took almost an hour and a half. I think that's where most of my pain is coming from because most of that time was either bending over or kneeling down to clean it up. About the only good thing about that was where I was cleaning up was in the shade. Even still I was sweating my ass off. I can only imagine how bad it would have been if it had been in the direct sun. But the busted table was just further reason of why I hate my neighbors.

We're almost certain they are only renting the house which means they don't care as much about how crappy it may look or anything like that. We are always finding stupid balls in our yard which have to come OVER a privacy fence. I'm talking basketballs, the plastic balls that kids usually use when they play like four square and stuff like that, footballs and so forth. There was even times we had FOOD items in our yard like orange peels (um we never have oranges in our house so they sure as hell aren't from us), potatos and some bananas. Ohh how I wanted to grab those and just throw them as hard as I could at their house but I held back. I've gotten so tired of all the balls in the yard that now when I find out I go to our driveway and kick it down the driveway and watch the ball roll into the street. Once every now and then I could understand but this is a constant situation. These are the type of kids who play in the street and when a car comes through they almost don't move. And when they finally do decide to get the hell out of your way they move all of about 2 feet. Ugh. I think the parents are probably just as worthless as these kids.

So once I finished that I had to cut grass. I barely was able to finish that because my legs were so worn out. Probably didn't help that I hadn't really eaten lunch that day and hadn't eaten dinner yet. Then there was moving one table out and moving another one in. And you would think after all that I would sleep well and fall asleep quickly, right? Nah! I laid down and it was like no, no I can't be almost wide awake!! Today was bad since I almost slept through my alarm. Well I did sleep through a few minutes of it. Good thing I wasn't able to figure out the way to shut off the sound in my dream or else I would have been late for work. LOL

I wish I had something exciting to write about but not much has been going on lately. At least not anything that would make an exciting entry in here. I'm looking to have an easy, laid back weekend. In fact I still need to check with my boss to see if I'm allowed to take a half day tomorrow or not. I hope I am.

No more drama

I still can't believe that it's June already. In about 5 and 1/2 months I'll be 27. It's so crazy how this year is just flying by. Almost like a blur even though so much has gone on this year. Then to think about what was going on this time last year. I mean I was getting all excited about my trip to Vegas for my school reunion and the chance to see old friends again. It almost seems unreal to think it's almost been a year since that trip. Almost mind blowing really when you think about how it seems like not that long ago that we were ringing in another new year and now the year is like half over. Speaking of trips I just realized I need to find my one journal. I have a written journal that I started, hmm, probably 4 or 5 years ago. There's not a lot in it. I've only written in it when I went on trips. It was just my way to capture my feelings and thoughts on the trips. There's a section for my family trip to Disney World/Florida, another part for my trip to Pittsburgh for work, a part for my trip to Philadelphia to visit my one best friend there and of course a part on my trip to Vegas. It's funny because it's one of those black/white marbeled composition books. I think I know where it is but I'll still have to check and see if I'm write about that or not.

Unfortunately I haven't been playing much softball this year. Just too much was going on and time ran out before I could get things together for a team. Although this fall or next spring/summer I will be back to playing just as much as before. Although it is a little nice of not having to wake up at like 8:30 on a Sunday morning after having been partying the night before. Hungover softball when it's like 80-90 and humid as can be is NOT fun. LOL I'm eventually going to use the time to work on my dad's old bike which could become mine. I want to redo the paint on it and have to finish removing the old turn signals and installing the new ones.

I've also been trying to get rid of drama in my life. There are people who just always bring about drama and I don't need that. I have enough on my own without anyone deciding to donate to the drama fund. I've also been learning how to quickly look at a situation and cause the least drama for myself. Like last weekend I basically said nothing and didn't defend myself in a situation because that was the way to get the least amount of drama. If I had defended myself things would have just been worse since the other people involved were drunk and overreacting to it all. I've learned more over the past year or so of not letting people walk all over me. I did that long enough in my life and no more. I know I've still got a lot more to learn and change, but for the most part I'm glad of who I am and the person I've become. Unfortunately I should get back to actually working. LOL
