Finally Settling Down

Well, it has been a crazy as hell emotionally the last few days.

As you have seen in my last few posts and on my twitter posts, one of our babies got out Saturday night.  It ended happily when Sakura was found about 24hrs later.  We are so happy and relieved that she is home.  Our biggest fear was all the roads around us that are very busy.  If we lived in the country, we would’ve worried but not have been driven to the level of anxiety that we felt.

Sakura was very timid for couple of hours once home.  But is getting back to normal.  I haven’t seen her play with her mice yet, but I’ll work on her tomorrow for that.

Before Sakura took off, we were having a pretty good day Saturday.  Hubby attacked the garage, got things reorganized and made more room and I attacked our storage closet.  We found a bunch of stuff to donate and made even more room.  We worked on cleaning the house and laundry.  And even had time to start chilling out and enjoying the day and then Sakura happened.

After we got her back, I finally was able to focus my brain and attack some work.  Made a very good dent in it, still had a pile waiting for me today.  But much more manageable.

I did about 15miles of walking looking for our nutty cat and putting up fliers this weekend.  I normally get about 4 miles in on non gym days.  Where we live we have a ton of hills and they can be steep…so it wasn’t an easy 15miles.

Even so today, we still went to the gym, to get back to normal, I did really good on the treadmill.  My old trainer’s voice in my head saying that you need to push it more when you have no motivation or it is harder then normal…..but boy did it hurt.

Then once we got home and showered, we headed out again.  We had to take down the fliers that we posted and pick them up from the businesses that I dropped off at.  Nothing I can do for the ones that I left in doors, mailboxes and gave out, but we made an effect to clean up.  So now I’m really paying for it.  My legs, thighs, and butt hurts from all the hills…..ouch.  I’m still going to push it tomorrrow, just need to remember to take some ibuprofen.  =)

Once we got all the fliers taken care of, it was time for work.  I had a bunch, ton of email, support tickets, company books….etc.  I finally got that done and was able to take care of our books and bills.  =)

I even been able to catch up with my friend’s feeds on my facebooks.  =)

I know that I have more work tomorrow, but it is more manageable.  And it is suppose to be another stunning day, so we are going to work on getting rid of some yardwaste in the back, change litters, and take care of the trash.  I do hope that I can take my laptop outside to work for a little while.  I really want to enjoy the sunshine.

Time for me get to bed.  Still playing catch up on sleep since this weekend.

Pauline’s Daily Happenings

  • Already walked around couple of times looking for Sukura, making more flyers and heading back out. #
  • I was able to drop of flyers @ most of the businesses down the street, I doubt she headed that way, but maybe their customers have seen her. #
  • FOUND HER!!!! She is scared & timid, but safe…made her way back & was hiding in an outside circulation vent. I was scared of the roads. #
  • I want to thank everyone for your words of support & encouragement, been zombie like on responding. Now I can eat w/out feeling sick. #
  • If we lived out in the country, away from very busy roads, bus stops & train tracks….I wouldn’t not have stress it at all. #
  • Finally got to some work…..there is a ton. Need to attack more of that & the company books tomorrow…& need to take down posted fliers. #
  • Amazing how much work you can get done when you aren’t stressing out…….so glad that it is over. =) #
