I know I haven’t been updating as much.  I really just hasn’t been inspired…..or my brain just quits working when I sit down to write.  Lets see if I can actually babble about something tonight.

I worked this weekend.  I did fine Saturday, but come Sunday I did my best during the first 4 hrs.  Then it just got really hard not to sit down and rest my feet.  In the end I left an hour early since I was wasting payroll and knew I would probably go over when I work tomorrow.  When I got home, I didn’t work unless I had to for about 3 hrs and took an hour nap during that.

I really needed to get started on organizing our packing and get more done.  I did pretty good last night on getting things done, but sat down a lot.  I wanted to get more done today, but some how didn’t get very far.  So I’ll have to attack it tomorrow.  Since the 1st it is all online work once I get home.

But I really over did it Sunday.  Because when I got up this morning I hard a really hard time walking.  I haven’t felt that bad in the morning in about a week….icks  So I didn’t even try to work out this morning……it hurt and I had way too many other things to do.

It didn’t help that I didn’t get crap for sleep for Sunday.  Sunday, I normally head in at 6am.  So I was in bed early Saturday, but couldn’t sleep. My mind would not shut off on racing around about packing.  And then I start to think about Torn driving cross country with our stuff, towing our truck…..so I then started to worry about it…..I’m not working on those days, so I’m going to be stressing it….especially if I’m already doing it and we don’t even have the moving truck yet.

Today I dropped off some of our stuff to goodwill, ran a few other errands and then came back to do some online work.

I also had to de-fur our couch….holy cow I could make a whole new cat with the amount of fur I got off of it.  Especially from the back.  Our couch was a big 3-piece corner sectional and we decided that it was time to get rid of it and didn’t want to haul it to Oregon.  So we gave it to a friend of mine from work.  I love being able to give stuff to folks who appreciate it and will get some good use out of it.  I like to recycle and especially to friends.  I like the personal touch.  So back on track, my friend came over with her boyfriend and we hauled it over to their new place……which, I have to add, was a really nice place.

We are feeling good, we got rid of the 2 really big items that we needed and wanted to get rid of…….the couch and the weight universal… we may actually have room left over in the moving truck….that is not normal for us.  =)

When we got back, it was back to some online work……now I’m fighting the urge to attack some more packing since I have to head to bed soon….it is will be a very early day for work.

Damn, I actually got something typed up……don’t know if I’m going to be able to do this tomorrow…..we’ll see.

Today had its highs and lows…..

I was able to say on our workout machine a little longer then yesterday until my foot stopped me.  I was trying to actually have my feet move as if working.  When I leave my feet flatly in place that hurt like hell. I then did some floor workout and a quick ride around the neighborhood.   I couldn’t get it done as early as I wanted since we were waiting on the terminator.

After he left, I attacked the litters and laundry.  I still need to put it away, but it is done.  Of course, by the time every thing was done storms moved in.  I had gotten a quick cool off swim in the pool after the litters……..but I really wanted to lay out and spend more time in it.  =(  That was a disappointment.

I forgot to call the water & electric companies in Oregon for getting things hooked up……..doh.  So I made a note to give them a ring 1st thing Monday.

We are planning on having some my friends over from work next week.  I’m just trying to decide whether to do it Thursday or Friday………once I get that figured out I can let everyone know.   =)
I did get a lot of items added to the Rude store………my eyes and brain are fired right now.

I got my HP 7 read for the 2nd time…..damn, it is a great book.  I really need to get a copy of the audio for my ipod.

I had today off, started it with a doctors appointment and afterwards in between reading I got more of my mess in the office packed up and slightly organized.  So it is a step closer.  I really need to attack our closet.

I still can’t work out that much feet wise.  I was only able to do 5 min on the elipical (sp) when my left foot really started to hurt……….that so sucked because I was just starting to feel the workout……….which didn’t take much.  =(  Boy, am I out of shape…….ggrrrr

I need to start on our receipts.  The more I get done, the more I can pack up and get ready. =)

WOW!  WOW!!!  WOW!!!!

Current Mood: Esctatic

Sorry that you haven’t heard from me……been busy it at work.

I got my Harry Potter!!!!  Don’t you dare tell me a thing about it!  Because of my work schedule I’m not able to read it until I get home tonight…………and I will have it done by midnight………grin

Torn read it yesterday and today will be my turn.  I just hope the day goes by fast so I can get my teeth into it…..grin

Current Mood: Amused

I totally love cats, so I had to do this……..grin

Sure, you deserve one. You helped popularized lolcats from a running gag to an online sensation. Now mainstream media writes asinine columns on this ‘phenomenon’, students write theses on the topic, programming languages adopt the grammar, and losers write tests about them on dating sites. Now take your cheezburger and never touch the internets again.

Damn, my feet hurt from work.  But the good news is the my stitches are out and I was able to go swimming this evening.  =)

The doctor says it can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months to fully heal.  I was afraid that I had over did my 1st few days back at work.  But along as I take breaks that being active will help heal them quicker.  The activity keeps the wrong ligaments from healing together. He says my feet still have swelling around the problem area.  He says I’m doing great and even canceled my next appointment.  All I have is my final appointment on the 15th before we move.  So that is cool.

Tomorrow I’m going to get my nails done and enjoy myself.  =)

I feel kind of useless on getting things done, but I actually got more done today then yesterday.

We started early today on our errands.  We headed to Petsmart to get some harnesses and leashes for the Reggie & Alexis.  We then head over to a few other stores to make sure we didn’t need anything.  Finished off with doing some shopping for household things.  Boy do my feet hurt.  I think I lost one of my stitches, one of the other sets seems irritated.

I got the rest of my dresser packed.  For those who don’t know, my dresser has a hutch that is great for knick-knacks but is a pain on packing.  So that is a project in of itself.  I then got a few things organized in the spare room and then it was on to the master bathroom.  I got everything cleared out from underneath the sink.  I threw out a lot of old stuff, cleaned out my underwear and old bra drawer.

So I actually got some things done.  But I’m so annoyed over the fact that my movement is restricted due to my feet.  I could get so much done if I didn’t have to sit so much and be distracted by the discomfort.  I’m just so hoping that by next week, that the discomfort will be minimal, because I really need to attack other areas of the house…….like the office closet, the rest of the spare room and closet, the mess that I call our walk in closet…..icks.

I never did go to the bank and get done what I need to get done.  Unfortunately the business I need to get done is not some thing that I can just run in and take care of.  I will have to spend a bit of time and I really just don’t feel like doing it.

Blah……..that about sums everything up…..

It has been a long weekend.  Worked everyday since Thursday, which in of itself is no big deal, but with my feet……ow.  They are much better…a little bit every day, but they can only handle so much.  So I sat down a lot more then usual, but my co-workers were very supportive.  My calves don’t hurt no where near what they were feeling……..I’m no longer afraid of them locking up.  The good thing about working so much, is that it has gradually forced me to walk better…..it is almost normal.  I have Monday & Tuesday off, so hopefully it’ll help with my recovery and (fingers crossed) my stitches come out Wednesday.  =)

Tomorrow is an online work day.  Luckily, I already got a huge amount of it done tonight, so I’m pleased with that.  I hope to be able to break up the day with a little bit of packing here and there.  Trying to decide if I’m going to mop the floors, they really do need it.

The pc screen is now a blur……..blog with you later.

Current Mood: Exhausted

My bandages are off! Unfortunately I still have the stitches….which I was hoping to get rid of.  I can’t go swimming (no soaking) but I can take normal get clean showers.  Which is hard enough to stand and not move too quickly.
My feet remind me of frankstein….I have stitches on both sides of my heels (which I thought it was only going to be on one side) and a big ass ugly bruise down the inside of my feet following my tendon.  I may take pics, I haven’t decided.

I can wear regular tennis shoes.  But I’m walking funny.  Going to take time to get over my tenderness and learn how to walk correctly…..those boots with bandages mess you up that way.

I worked a shift today……had to sit down a lot and my feet are tender.  But what really, really hurts is my calves.  Because of not walking regularly for a week, walking funny and still walking funny……damn, they hurt.  I put some bengay on them hoping that I don’t lock up tonight. I work the next few days…..I should be able to work it out……..some how.

I get my stitches out next week and I’m hoping that I’m almost back to normal on my walking.  I really need to attack the bedroom and bathroom for packing.  And I’m starting to stress what we need to keep out for our move.

We finalized our place out in Portland the other day.  What a huge, huge stress reliever.   It is actually just outside of Portland, but nice and we can easily take the public transit to the city.  We want to try and not drive as much, a little more enviromentally friendly.  It is a 2 story townhouse, 3 bed, 2.5 bath (we have to have at least 1.5), 1 car garage with a gas fireplace.  Just dawned on us today to see about having air……….nope it doesn’t.  Central air is not something that is standard out there.  Us living in the Indiana and then Florida…..it is given.  But we shouldn’t be needing it more then a week a year……so we’ll just use fans.

We are thinking it will give us time to get to know the area better on where we want to live.  It is kind of hard doing it online.  =)
