Mood:  hungry

What a weekend! Let’s start with Saturday shall we. Lennie spent much of the day at the Library.  He had dropped Potter off at the groomer then headed over to try to get some studying done for this tax class. This left me at home to clean and do laundry. I was a little pissed that Lennie didn’t at least offer to help clean seeing as for the past 3 weekends I have stayed home to clean while he worked on his house. I was so perturbed that I had to give up my free time to clean and sew buttons on his oily uniforms that I decided that he could make it up to me by taking me out to dinner. We decided to go to our favorite little Greek place, Taverna Agora.

The dinner was fantastic as always. We of course had the flaming cheese (Sananaki). YUMMMMM! For dinner we both had the sea bass with a caper/garlic sauce over seasoned rice and veggies. Very tasty. We had just finished our meal and were relaxing with the remainder of our wine when all the sudden there was a HUGE explosion outside and the place went dark. It turns out that a transformer blew and they said it would likely not be repaired or a few hours. Luckily we had already eaten but there was a huge party that had just placed their order. We sat there for about an hour in the dark with just a few candles to see by until they could figure out what to do with our bill. They finally had to calculate it by hand and had to run the credit card through one of those old imprint machines. I wasn’t too worried about the blackout and like I said we had already had out food so we weren’t waiting hours for out food but I think they should have offered free dessert or wine.

Sunday morning we got up and noticed that Potter was scratching a lot. We thought it was from the groomer not rinsing out all the shampoo so Lennie put him in the tub and rinsed him off but as we dried him off we noticed a rash on his belly. We figured we would wait and see if rinsing him off help but last night we realized something was wrong. He kept us up all night scratching and licking at the rash. He finally fell asleep at 3am and I finally drifted off to sleep. The alarm went off at 5:30 and I was furious that I had to get up with only 2 hours of sleep. I would have called in sick if I didn’t have a conference call at 9. I pulled back the covers and noticed that the house was FREEZING. We had dropped down into the 30’s last night and so I had set the heat to come on in the middle of the night. It apparently never had. I went to the thermostat and tried again to turn the heat on…nothing. So I went in and woke up my lovely live in HVAC repair guy. Lennie was not amused but he got up and went up in the attic to check it out. He cycled it though a couple of time and then all the sudden warm air starting flowing. YEA! He then decided that perhaps Potter would need to go to the vet so he drove him over so that I could get to work. Turns out he has seasonal allergies and will be on these pills for the next 10 days. I hope it will relieve his itching. The poor thing is so miserable and we really need to get some sleep.

So here I am at work today and highly unmotivated to do anything. I have been on the phone with Progress Energy this morning for about an hour trying to get copies of our bills. They sent me late notices but we never got our original bills. The steps I had to go through just to get them faxed to me. My god I had to confirm who I was with 4 different people and send in an email request. I think I hear the fax machine queuing up now so I will end it here. Hope you all had a nice uneventful weekend.
