A Long Day

Alright, it is much later then I wanted it to be while I’m writing this.  I wanted to be in bed about 10, but I wanted to catch up on a few things plus I wanted to write an entry.

It was a rough day for Harold.  He didn’t sleep worth a damn last night and then had to go to the doctor for his foot.  Just like we thought, he needs surgery.  =(  The only good thing about it is that it may help get a jump start on the healing of it.

But it ended ok for him because I came home to him telling me about the great conversation he had with his folks.  He hasn’t talked to them in a while so it was great.

We had no clue what to have for dinner so we finally went out and use the Outback gift card my folks sent us.  =)  Yeah, I over did it…….but I love that place.

I got through the day.  With it being the day that we lost Aurora, it was good that I worked.  I know it has been a year and it shouldn’t hurt so much, but what can I say I’m a sap.  What is weird is that we lost Randi 3 years ago, but with the lost of Aurora I even feel Randi’s lost even more.

I did lose it once, it sneak up on me.  I didn’t help that we brought back our left overs from Outback in their paper bag and made me think of how much Aurora loved jumping into them. Then you can bat at her through the top of it and she would bat right back with her clawless paws.  Harold would be a meanie and hang the bag on a door knob or something while she was in it…….lol

Once we get settled in Portland, we have to get another cat that is feisty as both Randi & Aurora was because I really miss it.  Plus Alexis & Reggie are a little wacky for cats……….so we need a “normal” cat, if there is such a thing……..

Randi

Yep, what I figured.

Current Mood: cranky

I need surgery.February 22 I get to have my foot operated on to remove part or all of the broken bones. My Dr will be gone for the next 2 weeks which is why its 3 weeks away. The xrays shows no change at all and it’s still very swollen and when he pressed on it I about punched him.So 3 more weeks of this, and then 1 week of damn near bed/chair rest and 2-3 weeks of sore foot. By mid March I should be walking normally again and hopefully by April I will be 100%.

*sigh


A Chilly Morning Start

This morning was chilly as hell, but we didn’t get the frost. =) But I was able to wear my fully length leather jacket to work…….grin

I didn’t sleep worth a damn last night. I think it was a combo of too much on my mind and I made the mistake of having tea that I thought of decaf before bed…….oops. So I’ll make that one in the morning and go out looking for one that I like for the evening that won’t keep me up.

I didn’t get much done at work as I would’ve like, but still got a few things accomplished. The changes are starting to happen……..which isn’t bad, just hard to adjust to it. Sandee was suppose to finish out this week before heading to her new location, but today pretty much ended up being her last. =( It took us several months to get to a good working point, so I’m going to miss her.

When I got home, Harold had started to address some of the issues that we needed to take care of. I’m relieved that he started it, so we sat down and took care of it together. I just hope that helps all of us to get over this rough spot that every relationship goes through, whether it is personal or business and this one is a combo.

He then put me to work on going over some other work, which makes me feel good in that we are moving forward and taking care of business. But unfortunately my emails will have to wait until tomorrow night. So that is my goal. =)

Harold sees the foot doctor tomorrow, I have a bad feeling that he needs surgery. =( Then I have to start calling around to see what my insurance will cover and stuff…..gggrrr I’m so not looking forward to that part.

Since I’m working a lot of early shifts this week, it’s time to hit the hay. =)

Lewis Black and general thoughts.

Current Mood: bored I just bought 2 tickets to the Lewis Black show on April 1, and this time I’m going. To make it better it’s less then 4 miles from us, so we could walk, but…well… I’m lazy… and gimpy, so odds are we will drive.

I was looking at my feet comparing the right to the left. My left foot is still very swollen and where the break is, is about 3-4 times larger then the right foot. It still feels like I step on an exposed electric cord when I put weight on it and after closer examination, I can see the big toe is swollen to. My next Drs appointment is Wednesday, so I am sure I will be full of good news like an operation and 3-6 weeks more of sitting on my ass wanting to go out and do things.

How’s this for odd… I feel fat, I feel disgusting and want nothing more then to start working out on a regular bases and get into shape and start looking and feeling better but of course I have to wait to be able to walk. The last time I felt like this I weighed 236 lbs and I went on a simple diet and got down to 208, but went back up to 225. The last time I weighed myself I weighed 222, this morning, feeling fat, I weighed myself… 214…..

Mmmmm kay……..

A Day Pretty Much Wasted

We just done watching the movie called “An Unfinished Life” with Morgan Freeman, Robert Redford, Jennifer Lopez and a young promising actress Becca Gardner. It was a great quality movie. If you love a good story line with good acting, check it out.

It has gotten chilly here for Florida. It is about 42 now and clear, which means that it will get colder. We are under a frost adversary so we brought the plants in.

I really didn’t get as much done today like I thought I would. For one, I got a late start since I didn’t get to bed as early as I wanted to. I did get lawn mowed and then attacked the litters.

After lunch I went and got my nails done. Now my nails take a lot longer then most women, mainly because I now get a pedicure along with my nails, but it is also because I get designs. Well the last couple of designs have taken even longer then normal because of my teams. Yes, I did get my nails done in both Bears & Colts colors……every other nail to be exact………..grin

Harold’s Harrison Colts jersey arrived today, so we are all set for the big game. Me and my Manning and Harold and his Harrison…………..now I just need to get a picture of us both in them…….grin

I am disappointed in myself, I didn’t get any emails done, didn’t edit any of the pictures that I took at work and I didn’t get my response done for issues that came up that Harold & I need to take care of business wise.

Well, now I need to put away the laundry that threw on the bed and get ready to crawl into it since I have to work in the morning. Yep, today was pretty much wasted……..oh well.
