Last week was really rough.  After 13-14 hour days Mon-Thurs, I nearly quit on Friday when they sent us to do a really frustrating well decommission, and said that if we don't get it done that afternoon, we'd have to come back on Saturday.  My field partner and I were livid, and while I can't say it was the best well decommission job out there, it got done in a few hours.  

Sadly, at the expense of me getting hurt.  I was frustrated and annoyed, and when the shovel I'd leaned against the van started to slide, I automatically lunged for it.  At the same time, the pick handle that was also leaning against the van fell towards me, and I managed to catch it hard against my ribs just under my breast.  GOD did that ever hurt.  I was concerned that I'd broken a rib at first, but it's just bruised.  Knocked the air from me, though, and combined with my frustration, I was a blubbering mess for a while.  

It's pretty sore today, but I'm fine with that.  Better than having to work today!

TO DO OMG

bare_bear: (Clean ALL the things)
Okay, so that last post was supposed to be a to-do list for the weekend, but I guess I needed to talk about something else.  :D  Anywho, I have a lot to do this weekend, and I want to make sure I do them instead of my usual thing of forgetting everything and learning to knit or something else I shouldn't be doing right now.  

TO DO LIST OF DOOM
  • laundry
  • wash and put away new dishes
  • fix bed and install risers (can't fix bed until I get the right tools.  dammit)
  • put on bed skirt on bed
  • put away all clothes (because their current garbage bag/floor home is stupid compared to the nice big closet and dresser that's right next to them)
  • put away loose sewing patterns
  • clean up living room (find the couch omg)
  • sweep living room (from all the mud that flaked off of your work boots when you forgot your cell phone in the bedroom the other day and was too lazy to take your disgusting boots off)
  • find the dining room table under all the crap
  • put away bag of canned food (that you've been tripping over since you moved in)
  • put away epic pile of packing material
  • look up soup recipe (borscht?!!)
  • grocery shop
  • make soup, scones, maybe some casseroles for this coming week
  • sweep kitchen floor
  • mop kitchen floor??
  • find places for everything in the kitchen (just like the clothes in the bedroom, the kitchen table and floor are not good storage places when there are all these nice cupboards to use)
  • sew curtains for bathroom window (so no creepers can watch you when you pee or strip down for the shower)
  • hang curtains on bathroom window (for same reasons as above)
  • sew sink skirt (to hide shit behind)
  • velcro sink skirt to sink (because it's damn hard to sew through porcelain)
Uh, that's it for now. I'm sure I'll find more stuff as I try to avoid the stuff I should be doing.  BUSY WEEKEND IS BUSY YO.
