Post Game Analysis: Week Six

The week started with a delicious blessing -- PIC and I had the WHOLE WEEKEND to ourselves, sans children. We are occasionally blessed with such unfettered time, and we luxuriated over it. we slept in on Saturday, read the paper, lazed about, and then went car shopping.

Apparently that killed the day right there.

Is there anything more exhausting than shopping for a flipping CAR?? (Well, duh. Don't answer that.) I had forgotten that the whole process takes many, many, many hours,even though we picked out what we wanted right away. and the woman who helped us with our contract.... we are somewhat convinced she's a meth addict. A rare meth addict with all her teeth, but still...

Sunday we went for a lovely bike ride, a 26-miler, whereupon PIC's front wheel went ballistic and busted out two spokes at the same time. The front tire was so out of balance, the wheel couldn't even rotate. that was at mile 12. I jammed home and returned with our new pride and joy (aka new car).

When we got home, my sunny and relaxed demeanor was replaced with aches and sniffles, and WHAM! Full-blown sinus infection (no pun intended). YES, for the LOVE OF GAWD, I will STOP writing about my ILLNESS.

For me that was week six. All of it. I was incapacitated for several days, and finally just now am surviving. and PIC's kids have returned back home. We are a blended family once again, with two (currently) whole coparents.
