So tired

Note to El Burrito: It's not funny to wake up at 3:30 a.blinking.m. and refuse to go back to sleep for two hours.

It's really not funny when you do it two days in a row.

And it's downright nasty to then wake up 90 minutes early on the third day.

Yes, I'm tired. Very, very tired.

In other news, I'm up for jury duty this week. That has good points and bad points. The bad part is the hassle of juggling El Burrito-care for a week, plus the pain-in-the-neck factor of downtown parking. Luckily, DH's parents live fairly close and can take him if needed, although they have doctor's appointments scheduled for at least 3 days this week (father-in-law had hernia surgery about a week ago). Good points? Well, semi-alone time might be nice, plus I could work on some reading or crochet while I sit in the waiting room.

At any rate, I was off the hook today, and again for tomorrow. I can call in every afternoon and see if I have to show up the next day.

We have to go appliance shopping this week, too. The microwave died last night, sort of unexpectedly. Okay, it's 20 years old, so in appliance-years that's, oh, older than Moses. It's going to be a pain to replace, just because it's an over-the-stove model and we'll have a fixed amount of space to work with. We went through this with the fridge, and after we took measurements of the space, we had exactly two models at Sears and about that many at Lowe's that would fit in the hole. It does cut down on the decision-making, though. However, it would be really nice if the websites for Sears, etc. would let you search by dimensions. Much quicker.

And now it's time to rant again about shopping for jeans. I found out earlier this month that the local Sears doesn't stock womens-size Levis in the store. The same is apparently true for JCPenney - the only jeans in the "Womens" section were some cheap-looking brand that I can't remember the name of. Oh, and the elastic-waisted may-as-well-be-sweatpants "jeans." No, thanks.

Why can't stores stock jeans for people with a waist size larger than a q-tip?????

And now El Burrito is awake. Back to folding laundry.
