Grrrr...Double Grrr!

            OMG, what a great day; although I did not necessarily started out that way, it certainly ended fabulous.  Last night I frantically wrote a research paper that I thought was due next week and actually was due three days later.  GRRR…Double grrrr! I could not believe me ears.  It is all in the way we Americans say, “At the end of the semester.”  Does this mean the last actual class, as in the day we take the final, or does it mean the last day that we have class before finals?  I miss understood the “last day” got stung.  Frantically, I sat down to my laptop and started cranking out my paper.  Thankful, that I had already finished all the research, now I only had to put the pieces together.  I am a morning person, and do not function well at night.  By 11:00, Brian made me go to bed.  It might have had something to do with me yelling at my computer.  All the sentences did not make sense.  In the morning, I quickly added two and a half more pages to my paper and emailed it to my professor.  After taking a deep breath to clear my mind, I head over to my son’s home and rake the leaves in his yard.  My mother-in-law decided that I would have a nicer time getting out in the sun and exercising if she came and joined me.  After two plus hours of raking and bagging, we were on our way to the Wyoming yard waste center.  After dumping over twenty bags of leaves we headed home.  I must admit, that was one of the best afternoons that I've ever spent with my mother-in-law.  When I got home, I was surprise to smell dinner cooking.  “Brian, you are cooking dinner!” I was so happy to see that I did not need to cook; my body was too exhausted from all the yard work.  After Brian cleaned the dishes, what a great husband, it was time to take a nap.  After a short nap, my son stopped over for a hour or so for a visit.  I love when my kids visit me.  While he and Brian were talking, I decided to check my email to see if my professor graded my paper yet.  Yep, and I got a “B”.  The good news is that I get to fix the mistakes and bring it back in tomorrow for a higher grade.  What a great day!
