Coffee filter, THEN the coffee

Tired just doesn't cover it today! The sad part is that it's only going to get worse. This is Peru College's graduation and we are fairly busy with that, plus it's seemingly everyone's birthday this weekend. Had someone come in and order two cakes for today and added, "24 hours, that's enough, right? I read that I can have them in 24 hours." Well, normally that's the case. But someone in the deli cut the top of her thumb off, so Cindy is covering over there, and Janice just has it so bad I can hardly talk about it. Her oldest daughter's husband was killed and she keeps calling to update us, then adding that she doesn't think she'll be in tomorrow. No, Janice, you're done for a while, stop worrying about things that shouldn't bother you right now. Her husband is a pastor, as was her son-in-law. I don't completely know their ages, but her youngest daughter graduates high school next week, and her middle daughter graduates college the week after that. I can only guess that her oldest daughter is still under 30. It was really hard to press on today. I did okay until I put it on the prayer chain. I guess to actually say everything out loud really makes you admit it. So anyway, I'm left with graduation this week and probably next week too, when both the Neb City schools graduate. I had already counted her out with a graduating daughter, so it's not much different to me, I just wish she'd stop worrying and be where she needs to be.
Grandma's been over with the kids a lot, and Matthew has already conformed to that. She took a big step with the laundry and did NOT turn everyone's stuff right side out. I told her she spoils them. I always tell them that I only do the laundry. I do not check pockets or rearrange socks. However it goes in is how you'll find it coming out. She's such a happy homemaker that she just loves to serve the family and that's great. But I'm more of a grouchy gus and I expect a little help. Anyway, Matthew pointed out that she didn't turn his socks right side out. She said, "Isn't this how your mommy does it?" And he returns, "Yeah, but this is the Fluff and Fold!!" Spoiled I say!!
Anyway, I have a lot of cake orders at home, too, so busy is just an understatement. Really don't have time to be sitting here. My typing teacher would probably be whacking my fingers with a ruler the way I'm slouched everywhere, elbows resting on desk and knee. I feel like Clyde plopped over his dog dish, taking a break while he eats. I should probably get in the shower. I have a new body wash called Exhale. It claims to have calming effects. Cleanse your body and inspire your mood. Sounded good to me. Lofty hopes for a body wash. I may have put too much faith in my body wash.
