Got a text from my youngest that he had forwarded my blog to another daughter.... and he means my adopted daughter I think. Which is just fine... it's public anyway... but it reminded me that I had not written in here yet today. Other than my kids, anyone who reads this will probably be disappointed, for I've gotten off track in the general idea of this blog. Today it has been hard to get started on work, let along thinking of things to write about.
Whew, that was close! Hubby shuffled his way in here, wanting to see what I had been looking at in airbnb's for our anniversary getaway this year. I paused this and showed him- and we both agreed on one of the three. Now mind you, he has been looking for two-three days and hasn't found anything? I only have a couple 'requirements' - a covered porch where we can go out and sit and breathe fresh air without a lot of noise and distractions, and enough sofa/chairs in the living room that I can 'spread' out - my books and my yarn. In other words, I want space of my own, if you know what I mean. He agreed with me on the one and wanted me to go ahead and reserve it - but I told him we could bring it up on his computer later and HE could reserve it. LOL The tax money was put in the 'our' savings account. He doesn't know how to Zelle so would need to write me a check - so why not let him put his information in and deal with the airbnb itself. :-) I'm just along for the trip.
I think I am finally coming awake, since the morning is nearly over. I took Robitussin DM last night and I crashed. I woke up at midnight coughing, and then heard hubby off and on the rest of the night. I had a 7:30AM training with Morgan this morning (that was so hard to go to - I could barely wake myself up!) But we worked on the back and I headed back home. Got my emails checked for work, chatted with my boss, and then I took a short nap. Guess I needed it. I was just getting ready to work on some other things when my youngest text'd about my blog. Thought I should perhaps write something. Not that anything I write is of any great importance anyway, right? It does give someone something to do... perhaps.
Speaking of my adopted daughter, I am still loving the cup she sent me recently. She has always made me feel so loved and so special. I did not get cookies made this year and sent to her. I really meant to do it after Christmas... but in my defense, I have been without an oven AND a stove for about a month now. I was getting an error message when the oven was turned on and then it would shut down. They took out the control box - and at this time, can find no one who can fix it. Our oven is over 25 years old, and is a 23" built in. Which means they don't make these anymore. I'm not sure how this will be resolved. I think I mentioned in an earlier blog my boss suggested a one piece oven - and I'm all for it.
My big brother must be going through old photos - he sent me a couple of oldies. One he thought the kids would like - it has their dad in it - and I do need to forward it on to them. I think I have one similar to it, but I will send it to them nevertheless. The other is my nephew and my daughter when they were two. Cute little boogers back then. LOL
I didn't get any of my reading done this morning since I didn't wake up until 6AM and I had to leave at 6:50AM for the gym. I feel like I'm missing something. I did start doing some reading last night when hubby finally turned off the TV. Worked on a diamond art project for alittle bit as well. I've got to get my life back together. Being sick kicks my butt and I need to regain my energy and strength to DO something - well, maybe that has more to do with the mind - get the mindset to quit sitting on my butt and just do something. Ignore the TV; say no to movies. DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE! I hate being lazy. Unless I'm sick, that is. And now that I'm feeling better, I'm sure that I will be needing to fix dinner again. I did get a short break while I was sick. Hubby didn't cook, that's for sure. I stopped at BK while out last night and brought him back a chicken sandwich. He eats whatever I fix/bring him.
Tomorrow will be a different type a day as we will need to leave at noon I think for hubby's 1PM appointment with Dr. Mark. Grateful my coughing is slowing down; hopefully he can put hubby on something that will help him. I didn't think bronchitis/pneumonia could be contagious, but he managed to catch it like a cold. Maybe that is all I had? Just a really bad cold? I don't know. But with an inhaler and nasal spray and an antibiotic.... it may have been just a little bit more, right? So glad it is getting past me. I need my strength back.
I know, I need a lot of things back. Sigh. Come to think about it... I haven't heard if my oldest son's recent trip south brought my girl scout cookies into town. He hasn't mentioned it. If it didn't, I will need to arrange a trip south after Jailbreak XI. I could inhale a box of those cookies right now. You know, when you really want a cookie and only girl scout cookies will do? After all, I can't bake cookies right now.... sigh.
Ok - need to get off here and get back to work. Tis the season of the compliance tests - there is usually about 20+ of these things that we have to read, then get quizzed on. Some I end up taking 3 times cause I don't work in that area so I don't know the answers. But I have until the end of June to get them done - but since I have time right now, need to get started. That's the plan, anyway.
Hmm I'm thinking a cold protein shake would taste good right now. Maybe that is next on my agenda to get done. Anyway, I leave you with this....
