stuffy sleepy

Goodness. A whole week with Firefly on first shift and what do I do? End up with a head like a balloon. I’m so stuffy, and I’m worried about keeping her up. I took some allergy stuff, but I took some of the same stuff this morning and it didn’t work at all. I have some other congestion stuff that I took when I got home from work that seemed to help, but it’s non-drowsy formula, and frankly I’m tired as hell and although I slept for a bit earlier I really need to sleep tonight. Hopefully it doesn’t drive me to the couch so I’m not bothering her.

The work day went pretty quickly, though. I got quite a bit done and may actually be able to finish everything up ahead of schedule, which would be great. Regardless I shouldn’t have to stay over any more this week.

The city wants to do some work on the sewers in our area (namely installing them so we can get rid of the septic), but they want to tear up a good part of our yard to do it which we are not happy about. They didn’t know that both we and our neighbors have underground electric right where they want to dig, or that our septic tank is on the other side of the house from that, so to connect us they’d have to go all the way around and through our back yard to hook us up. Ummmm. Yeah. They’re supposed to come to the house to meet with us tomorrow, and I’m hoping they’ll have a different plan. We also really don’t want to lose some of the trees they’d have to take out if they continue with what they said before, even though they’d pay us for them. I guess we’ll find out. It is the city, after all, so I’m not holding my breath. Which would be very bad right now considering how my head feels…
