Choc Covered Espresso Beans
Last week, my kids' Aunt R came to visit. That was great, having her around! It seems like it's been so much longer than a year since they've seen her. The kids have really missed her.
We planted stuff. And the stuff is still alive!!
I didnt sleep much last week. I was running on about 3 hours of sleep a day, since I was doing the 12 hour night shift at night, and I didnt want to waste time sleeping during the day. Unfortunately, that was bad by my Thursday night shift (I was pulling an additional 4 OT hours on top of my regular shift). I kept falling asleep on the job, but finally got thru the night. I slept most of the weekend. I think I'm still catching up, and I'm back to the 12-hr night shift again. This week, I have NO plans but sleep during the day, with an occasional errand to run (and an occasional bit of yard work if it gets sunny).
Anyway, back to the visit ... she helped me plant the flowers that I've been accumulating the past few weeks, tho now I've already been starting to acquire more ... *halo* We planted a knock-out rose shrub, two purple things (I forget what they are right now) ... a red columbine, blue columbine, yellow nana coreopsis, bleeding heart, and some purple salvia ... I still have another blushing knock-out rose to plant, and two silvermound plants.
How many people travel across a handful of states on vacation, with a fishie? It was nice to have the extra fishie in the house... and ya know, not an unusual concept at all.

The title? My method of staying awake tonite and tomorrow night. This is my last week of night shift, these are the final two evenings I'll be in the office. Then I'm off for almost a whole week before I go back to my original weekend shift. Monday and Tuesday, I'll be here in the office ... Weds and Thurs, I'll be working from home ... then I'm off til the following Thursday.

Yay!! Glad the plants are still alive! Hopefully the storms tonight don't wash them way or drown them or electrocute them! Way too many exclaimation points in this comment!!!
I had fun. Thanks for letting me stay AND for letting me help plant. Had been too long since I had my hands in the dirt. Especially the Carolina red clay dirt variety. And yeah, still don't know why it would occur to someone to name a kid after a type of soil. Maybe they were soil scientists? ;)
