HAPPY HALLOWEEN! So usually I write about what I've done...boring, boring - but never about what I'm thinking about, what inspires me or how I'm really feeling. So I think it's time for change and start writing about something less trivial. I read a quote from someone's blog and I thought it was great "I used to want to change the world. Now I just want to leave the room with a little dignity". I rememember having such grand ideas of what I wanted to accomplish in life, now it seems just getting through the day to day stuff is challenging enough. When I was 16, I wrote out a list of things I wanted to accomplish by the time I hit 30.. It had stuff on it like, being married, having 2 kids, owning a Mercedes, to have a big beautiful home, and to have a great job that I make lots of money at. When I turned 30, my mom found this list and gave it to me.... What a shock, at the time I had so many expectations as to what my life would be like and at that point really none of them had come true. I'm now 37 and it seems that many of my goals have changed. Yeah, it would be great to have the perfect career that I never had to worry about money again, having a huge home and fancy sports car - but honestly, I've learn to become very content at what I have. When I was younger, I didn't have many friends - really none, I was a bit of an outcast, I knew a lot of people but really not anyone that I could call up and confess my deepest darkest secrets. A lot has changed since then, I think I really value the friendships that I have now. Years ago, I guess I believed that the more I had would show people my importance now I think having good friends and family really shows the type of character someone has which really is more important. So I may not change the world but hopefully I can leave it with some dignity.

Got up and I was so tired - took a PM Aspirin last night to help me fall asleep - I drank too many Diet cokes (Too much caffeine). So woke up a little groggy but had some coffee and got to the gym. It's still cold out in the morning.... did my cardio, burned 700 calories and ran for over an hour. My knees are sore. Got to work, busy morning. I had to leave for a little bit to pick up a few things at Target before getting to the gym again. Work, work, work.... boring. After work, came home, unpacked the groceries, fed the beasts, cleaned the dog messes outside, raked the back yard then played ball with Mocha and Riley. They are so sweet and just wanted to play. Kurt got home and cooked Chicken Noodle Soup. Home made and it was delicious.... oh, and we ate baked fries too - just as good. I can eat now, I already wore my costume (I think it turned out okay...) We went to the dollar store (big spenders) after dinner to pick up some containers for the soup - Kurt made a ton of it and wants to give some to some of our friends. After that, came home - got gym bag packed and then put out clothes for work - took an Ambien and went to bed. It's the first time I've tried Ambien and I guess it helped me to fall asleep but woke up around midnight, then 1, and 3.... Sleeping is just not my thing.

New week.... Almost November, wow - another month has flown by. Got up, slept not so well - got up several times during the night. After getting up, fed the animals and played with the cats for a bit. Got ready for the gym and went outside to start my car up - it was freezing outside. I think it said it was 35 out..... Big sheet of ice on my windshield. So let the car warm up for a while. After getting to the gym, did an hour + of cardio then got showered up and ready for work. Work has been okay so far - keeping busy. I have a busy evening tonight, I have to run to Costco after work then I have another doctors appointment and after that, meeting with some friends for dinner. Sushi... can't wait. So did go to Costco and had to return something, then headed home, racked the yard - so many leaves. I also put away the rest of the lawn furniture and the canopy... it looks so bare outside. After that had to go to the doctors. When I got home, I changed real quick and then we met up with our friends Shawn and Jim for dinner. It was really nice, we went to their house first then went to dinner at a new sushi restaurant in Royal Oak. Dinner was great, conversations were fun, and it was just really nice hanging out with them. After that, we went home and I went to bed pretty quickly. Very tired.

Sunday, 28 October 2007

Got up, made some coffee, fed the animals and then decided to clean out the storage room. All of the Halloween stuff was everywhere (Thanks Kurt), so pulled everything out to organize it all. That took most of my morning. Michael and Dan brought over some coffee and we chatted for a bit and talked about going to the apple orchard. After they left, got cleaned up and then went out to lunch. It was in town and they had the kids trick or treating through the stores. So many cute kids, it was very sweet to see. Had lunch and then went to an apple orchard near where Dan grew up, it was far away. Hung out there for a little bit then came home. After getting home, I was ready to relax for a bit. It was cold and I was tired. So napped and watched a movie, Kurt went out to meet up with Johnny for a bit. I stayed home and an hour or so later, he brought home Chinese food. We ate dinner and then that pretty much was the evening. I was ready for bed, long weekend and not much sleep.

Saturday, 27 October 2007

Today was a long but wonderful day. Got up around 7:30, made some coffee, fed the animals and then cleaned up a bit. Just put away the dishes and cleaned the kitty litter. After that, I picked up for a little while and then got showered. I left around 8:30 to pick up Claire at 9:00. I was really nervous about picking her up but Felicia made it so comfortable. After I picked her up, I brought her home and Kurt got to meet her. She is so adorable. After a bit, we headed out to Ikea to get a few things. Claire was so good in the car, she slept for the most part. Got to Ikea and ended up getting some lunch first then shopped for a bit. After that, went to Target and got some cat and dog food. After that, came home and then relaxed for a bit. We ordered some pizza and had Michael & Dan over. Claire was up so I fed her then changed her. After that, she fell back to sleep. Around 5:00 pm, I had to take her back so drove her home. Came home and got showered up then started working on my costume again. I got it all set - then Mark, John, Joel, Michael, Dan and Rachael came over. We had a drink then headed out to Pronto, stayed there for just a few minutes then went to Steve Lovettes party. It was a lot of fun, tons of people there. Stayed till about 11:30 then went back to Pronto, wasn't there long then ended up coming home. Had a great time, wanted to stay out later but most everyone else was ready for the night to be over. Had a great day.

Friday, 26 October 2007

I can't believe I got up this morning, I got no sleep.... but still managed to get up, fed the animals, make lunches, coffee and get to the gym. Did 1/2 hour of cardio and sit ups - I'm feeling okay right now, have enough energy - I see more coffee in my future. Got my shipment of Beaners coffee yesterday so had some this morning, it's so yummy. Okay - I lied I'm starting to feel sleepy now... but it's Friday and the weekend is just ahead. I can do this.....Work ended up being fine, got through the day. After work, came home and worked on my costume. Had to finish getting it all set. It was a messy job, I had fur all over the house so after getting it all made I then had to clean the whole house. Kurt got home and we headed up to Kerrin's house. He had a house warming party, his house is really cute. We hung out there for a while then went out for a drink afterwards. It was a fun evening not out to late.

Thursday, 25 October 2007

It's Thursday already - Wow, time is flying by. Got a good cardio this morning then did more abs. Michael and Dan were at the gym too so I had someone to talk to there. Today I have the sprinkler guys coming over to close down the Sprinkler System. Not sure what time but hopefully it's around 4:30 so I don't have to leave the office early. Started watching Nip/Tuck season 4 this morning - it's such a good show. I have it on the iPod - so it makes my workouts go by fast. Work has been good, I'm getting ready to start on a new project - We have a new group going with our reporting tool so I need to help set it up. So work was good, at lunch time did a shoulder workout...it was a killer and I'm paying for it. After that, M & D picked me up for lunch and we went to Rio Bravo... I had an upset stomach so didn't really eat but that was so nice of them to take me out for lunch. Had to leave work a little early because the Sprinkler guys came over to close it down. So fed the animals and then tidied up a bit, took out the trash, cleaned the kitty liter and dog messes then had to go to a doctors appointment. It was a long appointment. Ugh. After that, met up with Kurt at the tanning booth place (I love this place, the beds are 99.9% burn free - it's with purple lights.. I got really tan and no burns). After that, came home - shared some chili with Kurt then showered up and went out to Pronto!. Had a really good time, Kerrin, Jon, Jim, Alan, Michael, Dan were all up there. Ended up staying out till about 11:00 then came home. Past my bedtime.

Wednesday, 24 October 2007

HALLOWEEN is fast approaching. I have my costume just about done. Will finish it up today. So gym this morning, did 40 minutes of cardio then did Abs. The weather is still crappy. Ugh, rain and cold. It's just starting too - the cold weather. Work, okay - my hands still hurt from the arthritis. At lunch time, did an Arm workout with Dan. Then went to the bank, made a deposit. After that, finished my day at work. Got home and cleaned, cleaned, cleaned. I like doing that, call me weird - but I feel relaxed cleaning the house maybe it's because my mind is not focused on anything. So did that, got some new movies from Blockbuster and started putting them on my iPod. I got season 4 of Nip/Tuck. Looking forward to watching that. Went to CVS and picked up my prescription and then Costco to get Kurt's prescription. We then met up with BJ and his son Alex for dinner at Pronto. What a nice evening. Alex is so adorable. I had a great time playing with him and keeping him occupied. We walked around the restaurant about 6 times and had to touch all the Halloween decorations. He's so sweet. After dinner, went home and watched America's Next Top Model - I know, I'm a big dork. But it's cheesy and fun. Feel asleep after that. I got a really good night sleep - I think the PM Aspirin helped. I drank too much caffeine at dinner but luckily I was still able to fall asleep quickly.

Tuesday, 23 October 2007

Slept really good, I went to bed around 10:00 and didn't get up all night.... it was nice getting almost 6 hours of sleep. Got to the gym and did over 600 calories and over 6 miles. Work is much better today, all issues are resolved. At lunch time, did a chest workout and I pushed myself really hard. The weather has been crappy and it's causing my hands to ache (arthritis) but besides that everything is good. After the gym, ate my lunch - it was good. Kurt made a roll-up sandwich. Yum. After work, came home and did some laundry - there was a lot. I then got my gym bag packed, clothes for Wednesday, coffee maker ready and got lunches all set. After that, laid down for a little bit, then Kurt got home and we headed to Hawaiian Tan to tan. The tanning booths are really cool - it's 99.9% burn free. So we went and didn't get burned. After that, ordered some take out - went to a really cool new store in Royal Oak and then ate dinner. It was good, ate pretty healthy. After that, watched Beauty and The Geek then pretty much went to bed. It was a good evening.

Monday, 22 October 2007

Just another Manic Monday.... Got in and lots of server issues - so slowly taking care of them all. Before work though, did get my hour of cardio in - Feel pretty good about that. Got to work and ugh, our 2nd Production server was acting up so it was a really busy morning. Had to go to corporate for a meeting and then after that I had the rest of the day off. I had a stomach ache all day but felt better by the evening. Saw the movie - 30 Days of Night, bad Vampire movie, went to Home Depot - Got 2 Santa Claus decorations and then came home and made dinner - I made Grilled Cheese sandwiches and Tomato basil soup. It was spicy and yummy. After dinner, cleaned up and then got my gym bag packed and clothes ready for Tuesday. I also racked the yard front and back, it was filled with leaves...that was earlier though but forgot to mention it.

Sunday, 21 October 2007

Slept in till about 8:30 so got a lot of sleep. Got up and made coffee, fed the animals and then started my day. Started cleaning the house, upstairs and downstairs. It looks really good - Kurt nailed in the last piece of molding. After cleaning up, we got dressed and waited for Kurt's parents to arrive. It was great seeing them, we went out to lunch for Mexican food. It was so good, I had Quesadillas. We talked and caught up for a while - The Lions won against Tampa Bay. After that, came home and I had to get ready for the Chilli cook off, Kurt was sick so he stayed home but I headed out with my chilli. Got to Steve's house - lots of people and chilli. Had a great time, got to see Nuria, Cristy, Jack, Pete, Ron, Steve, Mike and Dan. Had a really good time, stayed for a couple of hours then headed home. After geting home, headed out to get groceries, came home, unpacked them all then made dinner for Kurt, Michael and Dan. We ate dinner and watched reality shows. It was a really fun night, I was exhausted though, I pretty much fell asleep while watching TV.

Saturday, 20 October 2007

So got up at 5:30 am (That's only 2 hours of sleep) and ran with Mocha to get my car in Royal Oak. It was raining and cold but got there pretty quick, drove home and tried to go back to bed for a bit... didn't happened. Just watched Moonstruck instead. So eventually, just decided to get up, I stained the last of the molding, got cleaned up and ran some errands with Kurt and Michael. We went to lunch at Olga's then went to Target, then went the Farbric store and got stuff for our costumes, Kurt got his haircut so Michael and I walked around town while waiting. Went to a Health Food store, oh my gosh, what a nut the salesperson was. They talked to us for a good 15 minutes about not using Microwaves or having our clothes dry cleaned. So after that, we dropped off Michael and headed back home. Did another coat of Stain and made the bed with the new comforter set I got. Looks really nice, we then got cleaned up and headed to my brothers house for Hudson's birthday party. He turned 3 today. They got a new dog named Clyde that is very cute and so well behaved. So spent time with the kids for a bit, Hudson was a little cranky. Ivy is getting so big, so sweet. She scoots on her butt now - so fast. We had to leave around 6:00 pm because we had a dinner party to go to. So rushed now, got cleaned up and then headed over to Colin and Matt's house. It was so nice, Jack and Pete, Brian and Allen, Matt & Colin plus us for dinner. We really had a great time, the food was excellent and then conversations were great. Hung out till about 11:00 then I was so tired, we left and headed back home. I was out within a few minutes.

Friday, 19 October 2007

It's Friday. I need a nap. Actually, felt really good this morning. Not much sleep but still felt very rested. Got up, fed the animals and got all set for the gym. Coffee was really good this morning, not sure why. So did an Ab workout at the gym, 1200 situps. Work was great - finally able to work on new stuff. At lunch, went to the mall - checked on Kurt's jacket, picked up his watch then met Dan for lunch at California pizza. Ate pizza and salad - so yummy. Got back to work and the afternoon flew by - so looking forward to this weekend. After work, came home and cleaned up a bit. Had to stain some for a little while, put the garbage cans away and cleaned the garage. Got showered and met Joel for dinner at Peking House. It was so great catching up with Joel. He is such a great friend and I've missed hanging out with him. So had a great dinner then we went up to Pronto, hung out there for a while then went to the opening of "9" - it's the old Q club. Was there so late, closed that place - had so much fun. Then went to McDonlads at 3 am, came home and went to bed. So tired, I ended up sleeping for only 2 hours then got up and ran to Pronto with Mocha to get my car (I had Joel's car the night before).

Thursday, 18 October 2007

My gosh, is this month flying by. I can't believe it's already the 18th and Thursday. Got up and felt pretty good this morning. I'm sure by tomorrow I will be at 100%. So went to the gym, did my hour of cardio and watched a movie - The Invisible. Pretty dumb. Got to work - it's been a busy morning. Just getting ready to head out to gym. Did a back workout at the gym, it was a good one too - did 8 different lifts of 4 sets each with 10-12 reps. After the gym, got back to the office and I finally am just about done with this report that I've been working on for 5 months. After work, came home - I got so much accomplished. I cut the grass, edged, trimmed and blew all the leaves to the curb, took out the garbage, did laundry, put away the dishes and played ball with the dogs. Kurt got home - we were going to go to the gym again but he was tired so we didn't. At 7, we headed up to Macy's - they had a great sale going on. We both got new winter jackets and some shirts. It was a lot of fun, they had food and drinks at the sale. After that, went to Pronto for a drink. Hung out with Michael and Dan, Jack Dafoe, Kerrin and Jon, NWJames and Christy. It was a lot of fun. Got home around 11:30 and hit the hay.

Wednesday, 17 October 2007

Mid-Week already. Got to the gym this morning and I felt okay - little out of energy but getting better every day. Did my cardio and read a few magazines, catching on the gossip. Got to work and I really didn't feel like being in the office. Just not feeling the greatest - had a headache that lasted all day. At lunch, did a arm workout.... felt good about that, came back to the office and ate. After work, went home and cleaned out the garage - such a mess. From Kurt's project, wood, tools, saw dust - everywhere. So cleaned it up then played ball with the dogs. Mocha and Riley are so funny. After that, came inside and did some laundry and ran the dishwasher. Kurt got home and we went up to the gym (3rd time today). We did a shoulder workout - getting ready for Halloween. We met up with Michael and Dan at TGIF for dinner. It was okay, had a salad. We then went shopping for Halloween costumes. I got a Viking costume. I love halloween. Even though we just ate, we were all hungry so we went to Burger King and got something to eat (Just little stuff). Then came back home and went to bed. So tired....

Tuesday, 16 October 2007

Feeling a little bit better today, still stuffy and congested but each day is getting better. Skipped out on the gym this morning. Got up to go but had no energy. Kurt made me some toast. So watched a little tv then got ready for work. I got CD's in the mail so been listening to some new stuff. Ingrid Michaelson, Rosie Thomas and the new Innocence Mission CD. Really good stuff. So went to work and started working on some reports. Having issues with them and been trying to figure out why they aren't working all day. At lunch time, I went out with Dan to Hooters. It was good, bad for me but it tasted delicious. After lunch we walked over to the Halloween store and looked at costumes. Back to work - so finished my day, it flew by. Got home and fed the animals after work then went to Blockbuster, I got Transformers and The Invisible. Came home and stained the last of the living room project. It looks great. Then went out to dinner with Todd. It was nice, been doing dinner once a week to catch up and talk. We chatted for a long time. Brought Kurt home some soup and Potatoe pancakes. I then got ready for Wednesday, packed my gym bag, got clothes out and it was time for bed.

Monday, 15 October 2007

My cold/sore throat has gotten worse - another night without sleep. Went to the gym, was a mistake - didn't have the energy to do cardio but still did it. Got through my hour then got to work. It was a tough day but managed to get through it. I went to Target at lunch and returned the blinds that I bought yesterday - got the right size. After that, back to work and finished my day. I was so stuffy all day and had a headache for the most part. I think my eyes are changing too, can't see well out of my glasses. Feeling so old. So after work, came home and made dinner, I made mashed potatoes, biscuits and a chicken gravy meal - it was really good. After that, cleaned up then went to bed. I felt like crap still so decided to go to bed early. Fell asleep even before Heroes came on. I had all the animals with me - I was pinned in bed but it was fine. I actually got some sleep this evening.

Sunday, 14 October 2007

Got up, another night of not really good sleep. After I went to bed last night, I tossed and turned for a while. So got up and felt achy and my throat was really hurting. Made coffee and started cleaning up in the kitchen. Kurt wanted to work on the living room project - so he worked on that while I cleaned up in the yard, cutting more hostas back and cleaning out the garage. Hung out with Michael for a while, we went out for breakfast and ran some errands. Kurt helped someone from work with a new light in the garage. After that, came home and showered. I was out of it, from being tired and sick - I laid down for a bit. I fell asleep for about an hour or so - after that, got up and we went out to dinner. After dinner, came back home - packed my bag for the gym, got my clothes out for Monday and I went to bed.

Saturday, 13 October 2007

Got up with a bad headache, could not sleep - I think it was from the Red Bull I was drinking yesterday. So up most of the night, eventually just got up and started cleaning my room. Put all my clothes away, made the bed, cleaned the downstairs then put together a shelf component for my closet. After that, had some coffee then went to the gym with Michael. Did shoulders again, good workout. Still had a headache and pretty much had it all day. We went to Coney for breakfast, I had pancakes then went to CVS afterwards. I had to get some deoderant and a few other things. Got my pictures for my new passport. Hate the picture, may have to get it redone. After that, came home and got cleaned up. Kurt and I then went out for the afternoon. We went to TJ Maxx and got some stuff then went to a few other stores. After that, we went to lunch. Yummy. After that, came home and we relaxed for a while. In the evening time, we picked up Micahel and went to the mall to visit Dan. I got a great deal on a shirt also started my Christmas shopping. Hung out there for a while then came back to the house, watched a movie and ate popcorn. I was tired and fell asleep during the movie. I woke up with both cats sleeping on me and I was passed out on the couch.

Friday, 12 October 2007

It's Friday - Weekend baby. So glad it's Friday. Got up, went to the gym and did my cardio - done for the week. Got to work and it got a lot accomplished. So much going on so it was nice being busy. At lunch time, did a partial workout - didn't have a lot of time so did Shoulders but I'm planning on doing a full shoulder workout over the weekend. Finished my day and was ready to go. Got home, did the errands and fed all the pets. Took in the garbage cans and cleaned up a little outside. It was a little dreary outside - but still played with the dogs a little bit and brought a few more things into the garage for Winter. Kurt got home and we had plans for dinner with Cop Don, Michael and Dan. We ate at Prontos!, It's their German festival going on right now. I had a salad (not very good). We ate then hung out for a while. Mark and John came up and it was a blast. We left for GC but was only there for a few minutes. We came back to Pronto and I got to see Joel which was great, also saw Ryan from Canada. It was a fun evening, except that I got motion sickness from being in Don's car (he is not a good driver) So we left around 1:30 or so, got home and went to bed. So tired.

Thursday, 11 October 2007

Thursday, this week hasn't been bad so far. Gone by fast. So got up, I have a sore throat - I didn't take my acid-reflux medication for the last few days and now I'm paying for it. Plus I left the window open last night and it got real cold.. I think that caused my throat to hurt as well. So worked out, did cardio and watched the last finale of Dexter. So different from the book, good though. So after the gym, got to work - the whole day was okay. At lunch time, did a back workout then went out to lunch. It was fun, went to TGIF. After lunch, finished the day at work. Went back to Costco - the second time in two days, got some grapes, toilet bowl cleaners, a pair of pants, plug-in air fresheners and brocolli. Then came home, fed the animals and after that - started taping up the mantel and wall molding. Did some staining and after that, and of course got it all over me. After that, Kurt came home and brought home some dinner. Had Greek salad and soup, very good. After that, did some laundry and uploaded some CD's/Movies to my ipod. Then got changed - we met up with M & D at Pronto!. I felt like crap still (Throat) hurts. So hung out and played pool with Dan. Stayed out till 10 pm then came home, hung out with the animals and then went to bed. I was tired.....

Wednesday, 10 October 2007

It's mid-week already. Got up and did the regular stuff then did the gym then got to work. I was so exhausted today and the worst part was that I'm starving.. I got a Pumpkin pie air-freshener, well - it makes me so hungry from the moment I get in. It smells delicious. So work was good, no complaints, at lunch time I did a back workout. Good burn. The rest of my work day went well - lots going on so it flew by. On the way home from work, I stopped at Costco, so bummed went to pick up a prescription and guess what - it wasn't called in yet so I wasted 1/2 hour there. It was good I guess because I didn't buy the stuff I had in my cart. After that, got home and cleaned up and cut the grass. So many leaves... Kurt got home when I was just finishing up. We then headed out to meet up with Michelle and Bonnie, I love those girls. So sweet. We hung out for a bit before getting dinner. I had a tuna sandwich, not very good. After that, we came back to the house. Played catch up for a bit then I got stuff ready for today (Packed gym bag, got clothes ready and started the lunches). After that, I was out... so tired. Love the new Show "Pushing Daisies" it's a great program.

Tuesday, 9 October 2007

Another day, another dollar.... Got up, felt okay - went to bed and fell asleep pretty early last night. So fed the kids and got lunches ready. After that, got the coffee going, dressed and headed to the gym. Still watching more episodes of Dexter. Such a good show. So still working on reports. Today was really a nice day, cool - went by quickly. At lunch, did an arm workout. They are sore, I pushed myself. After lunch, worked until 4:00 pm then headed home. Got home and started baking corn bread for the Taco Party Movie Night at Eddie and Jeff's house. Baked a lot of corn muffins then put a white chocolate frosting on the cake. Kurt got home and I headed out to meet up with Todd. We were catching up, met up at Dino's. It was really nice, got to catch up and hear about his trip to Florida. Got home, had an adjustor over - geeting some info on mortgage stuff. Then headed over to Jeff/Eddie's house. Had taco's and watched a movie. Saw the movie before - so I actually fell asleep... I'm a light weight. After the movie, came home and pretty much went to bed.

Monday, 8 October 2007

It's Monday again. I took a PM aspirin last night and when I got up this morning I was pretty groggy. But managed to get up, did my morning duties and then headed to the gym. Been watching Dexter season 1 on my iPod - Great show - it was on Showtime. Rented it from Blockbuster and been watching them during my workouts. Work is going well, working on coverting data from an Oracle Server to a SQL server. It's working, now have to redo some reports. At lunch time, back to doing weights during my break. I took last week off and now I'm ready to get back into it. Did a chest workout - and I'm sore from it. Taking just a little bit of time off really makes a difference. So after my workout, came back to the office and had my lunch, I made sandwiches for Kurt and I. It was delicious. After lunch, back to work. Finished the day off and headed home. Got home and had to pick up some stuff at the grocery store, came home and started making dinner. It was so yummy, made an augratin cheesey potato dinner. I also cleaned up around the house. Kurt got home and we ate, oh - I made two Chocolate Beat Cakes, one for a Taco party we were going to on Tuesday and the other for Michael and Dan. It's so yummy. We went to DSW, Kurt wanted to look for a pair of shoes, I went to Michael's (Store) and got stuff to put in a tall vase. Bought a bunch of Fall flowers. Then we dropped off the cake at M & D. Watched Prison Break at their house and had dessert. So good. Then came home and I went right to bed. So tired.

Sunday, 7 October 2007

Sunday... woke up with the same headache. Decided to head to the gym with Michael, we did cardio... my head was throbbing but made it through the workout.

Saturday, 6 October 2007

Woke up with a headache, bad headache and pretty much had it the entire day. So fed the animals and made coffee. Cut the grass in back and raked leaves, also worked more on closing up for winter. My parents came over for breakfast and we went out to Nello's. Breakfast was really good - I had a veggie egg-beater omlette and hot chocolate. After that, came back to the house and did loads of laundry, took the dogs for a walk then I met up with Du to talk. She is so sweet, had a really good time - we talked for several hours. It was really nice to catch up. After that, picked up some flowers and a few things at the grocery store. Came back to the house and watched some TV. Later in the evening, Kurt and I had a party to go to for Richard and Joe. It was a house warming party - for their 10,000 sq. ft. home. It was so amazing. The house is so huge, and the party was top of the line. Had a great time until my headache started again. It was really nice to see Shaun and Jim, Chris, Richard and Joe. Had a good time except for the headache part. Went home around 12:30 and went right to bed.

It's Friday and today is a half day... Woo hoo. So got into the gym, did my cardio - actually did over an hour plus I did abs. Got into the office and the afternoon - flew by. Had a lot to do - worked on a bunch of reports. So at lunch time, had a bunch of errands to do, went to the grocery store, returned some movies, picked up some stuff at CVS then got home. Once there, brought in the garbage, cleaned the house and fed the animals. Kurt got home, and he started working on his project. (The tile around the living room and the mantel) We then went out to dinne with Dawn and Michael.

This week is flying by. Got to the gym, did my cardio - my hour flew by. Then went to work - work day was good, busy. At lunch time, went back and did more cardio. Felt great after that, but then got a headache during the afternoon. Too much computer screen time. After work, came home and fed the beasts then cut the back yard, took out the trash and cooked some dinner. It was pretty laid back evening, Kurt worked on his project and I cleaned then after that, pretty much watched some TV - Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy. After that, fell asleep. It was a nice evening.

Half way through this week. Got up, fed the babies then got to the gym. Did 30 minutes of cardio and 1200 sit-ups. Afer that, got cleaned up for work - I'm so irritated. Someone brought into the office a Signal Jammer. That is a piece of equipment that jams all Mobile and Radio signals in an area. This area was about 40 square feet and I was right in the center of it. Well, these things are illegal and carry a big fine as well as jail time. So talked to the building people and management - well after 3 days of this (Started Monday) - it finally stopped and my cell phone works again. At lunch time, went to Target and got a new shirt (the one I had on shrunk and was way too tight for the office). Bought that and a few other holiday things then back to the office. Work went by pretty quickly, I had to leave right at 4:00 because I had a 4:30 haircut appointment. I had to let the dogs out and feed all the animals before my appointment, luckily traffic wasn't that bad. Got home and back to the salon by 4:30. Love my haircut... Marcos is so good. After getting back to the office - Kurt was home, I did some laundry and then we headed to the mall to get some dinner and visit with Dan. We hung out there for a while then got back home, I was tired so went to bed pretty quickly.

It'sTuesday - the day is a good one. Got a good night sleep and got to the gym, did my cardio - listened to my music and got a good burn. Work was okay, little slow and I actually felt tired mid morning. So during lunch, I skipped the gym and went to Home Depot to pick up stuff for Kurt. Went to several Home Depots to get the tiles he needed. So got the tile finally then headed back to the office. I missed my lunch. Finished the day then headed home, got a headache from not eating. Got home and dropped off the tile for Kurt then cut the grass, front and back and then cleaned up some more of the outside. Putting stuff away for the winter still. Then after that, came back in and cleaned up while Kurt worked on his project. I picked up Thai food - it was delicious.... We ate dinner then M & D came over, hung out for a bit - I was tired so I went to bed..... Long day...

It's already October and a Monday.... Got a pretty good night sleep last night - I had all the animals with me last night. They pretty much had most of the bed and I had just the edge. So got up and fed them, had lunches already made and coffee was going so got dressed for the gym then headed out. Did my cardio, I was tired but got through it. Bought some new books over the weekend so started reading. Not sure what happened but started to feel really nauseous during the morning, at first I thought it was something I ate but then I thought it could have been the flu or a bug. Well, ended up going home at lunch, laying down and trying to get some sleep. So slept for a while then I felt a little better. I got up and ate some lunch. After that, chilled out for a while then cleaned up the house and started dinner. Had a Pork, rice and brocolli meal. It was pretty good. Watched some TV later in the evening and went to bed while watching Hereos.
