Busy Weekend

I really should put more thought in to my birthday weekend.  In hindsight, I should have taken Friday off instead of Thursday and sent my nephew to stay with my parents for the weekend so I could do whatever I wanted to do.  Instead, I took Thursday off because I had to take the puppies to the vet.  I had one puppy who didn't have to go to the vet and she was lonely (translation: barked all day).  I put her with the rest of my dogs so that she wouldn't be lonely but that just upset my own dogs.  After a few failed attempts at a nap, I got up and made myself bacon, eggs and hashbrowns (something I rarely do) and then took a nap in the spare bedroom with the fan on high to drown out any noise.  I got to sleep for an hour but when I woke up it was time to retrieve the puppies and then pick up my nephew.

On Saturday, it was another trip to the vet and then a puppy delivery since one has been adopted.  Then I had the bright idea to go out to my property to get a few more things.  It was hot and I got overwhelmed by all of the work needed out there again because I didn't have a plan.

The next day we went to visit my parents, went to lunch and helped them move some boxes to their new townhouse.  Then back home to take 2 puppies to another foster home and to the grocery store.  I think I drove over 3 hours on Saturday and around 2 1/2 on Sunday.  I was very tired of driving.

I don't like my birthday right now.  It just reminds me that I am another year older and I still don't like my job.  At least I have a plan.  By my next birthday, I expect to be self employed and have a more flexible schedule.  And next year I will plan out my birthday better so that I don't spend so much time in my car.
