I was a slug yesterday

LOL never a dull moment crystal....do the dogs bark if there is a knock on the door. That always kills me because I have to try to keep Jodi out of view of the door, even if it is just a glimpse, if somone tried they could look in and see him. Luckily I can sneak a peek out of 2 windows without being noticed ( I think). I hate answering the door on one of those slug days!

If stuck though, just wear your sunglasses, wouldn't that look just peachy?
I hope you were able to get back to lazing about after they left.

Oh my yes, Zoe & Jett go running for the door and bark when the doorbell rings.:blush: And even though I usually take them with me when I leave, there are occasions that I leave them home. So that's not a dead give away that I'm hiding inside.:hiding:

So I've been working some pretty long hours this past couple of months with not much time off. I'm not complaining. Things are finally getting caught up both at home and with work. And I'm getting an actual weekend again by having Sunday's and Monday's off right now until tourist season is in full swing. So today it's gorgeous and I'm getting ready to go outside to prune my rose bushes, do some weeding, and freshen mulch. But yesterday the weatherman forecast cold, gray and rain. And thankfully they were right! I told family members and friends that yesterday I was going to stay in my jammies all day long and have a movie marathon in bed snuggling with Zoe & Jett. And I looked pretty 'rough' shall we say. lol No makeup, didn't do my hair, and I literally stayed in my jammies! So around 2:00 the doorbell rings. I don't get up to answer the door because I'm not going to let someone see me looking like this. My parents have a key and usually let themselves in if I don't answer the door right away. Not exactly what I'd like but that's a whole other story.:smilie_tischkante: And I get people coming to the door to solicit things even on Sundays. About 45 minutes later the doorbell rings again. I still don't get up to look because I don't want someone seeing me look out my window to see who it is. And this time I'm thinking perhaps a friend who does not live int he area has maybe decided to pop in without calling. And depending on who the friend is, would determine if I was ok being seen like I am. Pretty soon my mom and my sister are at my bedroom window calling to me. *sigh* I had accidentally left the storm door locked from when I had my front door open the other day. My sister had been the one who stopped in earlier and told mom I wasn't home. Mom knew my plans and got concerned. Now here's the tricky part. They tried to call me. But apparently my phone has decided to stop working. It's not in my phone lines because I still have internet access. So I guess I need to buy a new phone. I have one that is a corded phone that has 2 cordless phones as a set. And my cell phone was in my purse on the other side of the house so I didn't hear it. But the thing that I can't figure out is I felt like I got 'caught' being a slug. lol And I felt a bit guilty about it. Why is that? My sister looked at me like she couldn't believe a grown woman would still be in her jammies and look that way in the middle of the afternoon! :HistericalSmiley: There's nothing wrong with being a slug every now and then is there? I try to do it at least once a month if possible. It's just what I seem to need to rejuvenate. My sister is thinking of purchasing a home a few blocks away from me and now I'm not so sure I think this is a good idea. Will I never feel safe or comfortable to have my slug days again?:blink: Somebody please tell me that I'm not the only one who not only enjoys slug days, but NEEDS them every once in awhile!rayer:

:w00t: Excellent idea!!:thumbsup: :HistericalSmiley:

So now see if anyone can answer this. Since I had a total slug day yesterday, I should be all rested up and have tons of energy, right? So why is it that today after I worked in my yard pulling weeds around the landscaping and freshening mulch, and pruning my roses, I'm wiped out? I need to give the babies a bath yet and I'm not so sure that's going to happen. Is this yet another hazard of getting over a certain age bracket?

And also, why is it that in the movies, all those gorgeous southern ladies and Victorian women can be out in their rose gardens pruning their roses in dresses, skirts, big sun hats, with seemingly no effort? I'm a dirty, bleeding, scratched up mess!:smpullhair: Sure hope I didn't kill my roses. Should have pruned them back late last fall or really early this spring. But I just didn't have the time then. They're the Knockout Roses so they're supposed to be pretty hardy. *sigh* But I can kill even a 'hardy' plant.:brownbag:
