A week off??

Why, yes!!

Ok, so there is something positive about where I work ;).

I'm sad that it is already Wednesday and my week of bliss is halfway over. I haven't satisfied my main objective (which is a quite weird one for a vacation), which is to organize my closet. You might be thinking, "Oh..a CLOSET?? Big deal!! How long could it take??" Well, my friend, think that all you want. When the builders who erected this abode designed it, what they didn't provide in functional utility room and kitchen space, they more than made up for when it comes to the closets in our guest bedroom and master bath! I think I could put a twin bed in my closet (though whoever slept in there would freeze in the winter and boil in the summer, despite an air vent).

Anyway, more space means more mess (for me), so I need to regroup.

I have other mundane tasks, but I choose not to further bore you with the details....

I also have numerous gripes (mainly dental-related), but again, broken record.....

What else is there to write about??? ;-)

I found some shorts today!!! It's been HOT here lately, and I've only had workout shorts (funny, seeing as I don't WORK OUT anymore!!) to run around in. I won't mention how depressing my find turned out to be. But hey, I have something to wear that looks decent and didn't go much over my $10 budget.

Dillon and I played racquetball the other day, but we really need to get with some sort of exercise regimen. That pool was just calling my name...and I might see if it's really busy tomorrow (if I can dig up a suit that fits). I don't know if I'm brave enough to go up there alone, though. My other option is to go and shoot some hoops. I might just do that if it's raining here (there's an outdoor hoop at a nearby school). Worst case, we have an elliptical machine that hates me. I can always try and tame it (I hit my knees on the front part, for some reason...).

Boring boring boring.

Exciting vacation, eh? Oh well. I'm loving it!!! I don't want to go back go work :'(.

I need to not stress so much. I think I stress even when I don't think I'm stressing. The Internet is a great tool, yet it is also detrimental in that aspect. So much info is out there, it can be overwhelming (and needlessly informative). I've had a couple diagnoses come up in the past few weeks and I've been researching them (Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and Angioedema). I'm waiting on some labs regarding the Angio (not heart-related...that's what I thought at first, too!!). I actually "diagnosed" myself due to having a printout of my labs that my allergist sent me. Between the time I got them and the time he called me back to sit down and talk with him about the results, I'd used my results and symptoms to find what I figured I had. He agrees, but wants to make sure it's one kind over the other. If I do have it at all (which my bloodwork says yes), I hope it's Type II. As far as the angio is concerned, I've left that in God's hands. I need to do the same with my thyroid stuff. I mean, I'm not really worried about ME as much as I am the doctors. I don't want to be taking stuff unnecessarily NOR do I want to NOT be taking what I need to. Heh.....

Ok. I need to go to bed. Sorry for the rambling :).

By the way, I'm looking into getting a massage this week, too, if there are available appts!!! YAY!!!!!!

It's good that you updated, Amy. This is a tool that allows you to get some of the stress out. Plus, it gives your reader's something to pray about.

I'm glad you are enjoying your vacation! Happy massage!!

Thanks, Matt.

I got an appt at 1:00 tomorrow. Oh, my aching muscles can't wait!!

Gonna go tackle the closet now....

Best of luck on the closet-cleaning! :D

I did that one day last year, and it was a HUGE job, but it felt so good when it was all done. Now if only I had the motivation to tackle other areas of the house... hahahaha.

Enjoy the remainder of your vacation.

The Great Mooski said...

Thanks!

Closet is at least 3/4 tackled (and "tackled" me...). I need to vacuum in there. I need to clean my whole bathroom at some point, too.

Shoot!! We were at Home Depot earlier tonight and I JUST NOW remembered what else I was looking for! ARGH!!! It's funny how bored Dillon gets shopping with me. It flusters me into trying to hurry and I forget stuff. I may go back up there tomorrow and have a field day....

:'( Monday is even closer now....ARGH!

;0)

Amy, happy last day before Monday... :)

About the eliptical... many machines have a button on the handles where you can shorten the strides you take. why don't you try that and that might make it so you don't bang your knees?! :)

The Great Mooski said...

Ah, the elliptical Dillon got before we were married is just your basic dealio. You can only adjust the tension.

I think it mainly happens when I get tired and my feet slide forward.

Ugh. Tomorrow...

So how was your return to work?
Praying for you, Amy!

It wasn't too bad. We had a storm come thru early this morning (remnants from the twisters up north) that knocked our power out. Fortunately, it woke both Dillon and me up about the same time our clocks started flashing "12:00." If not, I don't know WHAT time we'd have woken up today!!

I let someone get under my skin in the office (generally is the same person I tend to lose patience with...well, we ALL lose patience with), so that was the only negative.

Thanks for asking!
