Good morning all! I think I've recovered from my unexpected rest week. That was possibly the most annoying cold ever. I would be good and rest and take meds and I would feel better every day but never feeling 100%. I'm not even a 100% today frankly but I hope after moving around and some fresh air, I'll be better by the afternoon to continue my Imax2 Monday streak which really just picks me up. But this is going to be a slightly me post as I have to recount one of the $hittiest set of days in a row I've had in a while.
Last Sunday - massive huge drama fight with Joe. Experiment in the evening that half worked.
Monday - worked myself to the bone in the house and yard which was fine. I got Imax2 in which was great, but just doggone tired and beginning to feel an itch in my throat (which I should have paid attention to).
Tuesday - hours in the permitting office where the guy tells us we have to move our water heater as opposed to getting an after the fact permit that we thought we needed to get. On top of that, he wouldn't process the other permit that we needed renewed so we will have to go back and waste time at the permitting office later. Find out it will cost $2500-3K to move said water heater. Start feeling worse so I eat heartily and go to bed without a workout.
Wednesday - the cold hits me square in the nose first thing in the morning. Go to work even though I probably shouldn't. Trying to pick up Joe at work in the evening and I get sideswiped by a bus. My right side of my pretty car is now ugly and it was slightly terrifying.
Thursday - We get a flat on the 110S freeway. For those of you who don't now our nation's first freeway, its really hilly and curvy and we lost control downhill which was scary. Metro came super fast to help us with our tire which was nice, but I'm getting worse. We go to the school of dentistry to get cheap dental care to only find out that DENTISTS ARE MONEY GRUBBING MEANIES and it turns out almost all my cavities that he wanted to fill can be treated with fluoride and doesn't need to be filled. Oh, yeah, its my anniversary (happy belated anniversary to you Chris btw) and I get even worse but Joe is a sweetie and takes me home and stays with me. We then find out that it was the alignment in our car that was super off and that all of our tires are about to go because its been grinding on the inside (our tire literally cracked when we got the flat as opposed to a puncture). So, I just dumped ~$600 for new tires and alignment becaues our car needs more expensive tires apparently and CA tax just makes everything sweeter. I did get to have sushi though (because it was across the street from the tire place) and it's a place that I've been going to since '99. The lady there hadn't seen me in a couple years but instantly recognized me and the first thing she said was, "Oh my, you've lost so much weight since I last saw you!" which was cool. I didn't know how to take when she told Joe, "And I'm glad you married her instead of that other gf." Oh, and I ate FOUR cupcakes for my anniversary.
Friday -- I literally cower in fear on the next crappy thing that's going to hit me. I'm still pretty sick but I go into work with the idea that I'm going to finish my paperwork and go home to sleep. Well I did, but it was one of those days where my coworkers decided to get on every last freaking nerve. I almost bolted out the door when I could.
Saturday -- I wake up to realize that without my nagging on a daily basis, my husband didn't do a single ounce of house or yardwork. No picking up slack while I lay sick in my bed. This guilt tripped him into doing a little but clearly not enough. I did get my washer dryer on Saturday which was cool but almost cried when I realized I had not taking into account the clearance needed in the back for my water and gas in take. So, the washer door hits the refrigerator but as long as I can access it, its fine but unfortunately, we have to rethink how we're doing our kitchen (which is why I almost cried because it was like the last thing I needed to deal with).
At one point, I said screw it to the world, picked up my DS and started playing a video game because I was so determined to have 24 hrs go without a problem.
Thanks for the ventage and I figured I was offline so maybe you wanted to know what I was going through.
Kathy -- is that firm one with the blonde woman in the yellow outfit? I remember my sister doing that one and it worked her. I think that's the only firm one I really remember.
Vilma -- I really look forward to doing CLX. I was going to ask you and Beth -- is there a rotation that incorporates CLX and Cathe? Joe was teasing me saying, can you go three months without Cathe? And I got all sad when I thought about it...
Beth -- I love HIS, but after I got all the steps. And I swear with the mirror, it helps me push even harder because I can see ME and Cathe and I can see how I'm maybe not lunging as deep or picking up my feet as much. Joe got me a soft medicine ball for our anniversary (well, for himself too -- he got a 10lb one even though I would have been fine with 8lb). Do you guys like a medicine ball abs related stuff? Chris, didn't you get one too? Beth, you have a horse arena?? How big is your place??? That's so cool though. I told Joe that I think when we move out of LA I wanted to live in the middle of nowhere so we could afford a lot so we could do stuff like that (the paving, not the horses).
Joanne -- I totally wish Colin could teach me how to rollerblade. I'm such a total klutz and my mother didn't ever really let us do anything where we could get hurt and I've retained a lot of her anxiety too. I can be ambitious but as soon as I lose my steadiness, oh the high pitched squealing (which DH finds especially annoying since I apparently have a deeper voice than he does). Good for Jameson on both of his games -- does that mean he's in the finals?
Oh, I'd so rather be home playing with Evee...bbl
