I really should blog more often… every week is really quite slacker-style. And the problem is that I really have so much to say on a daily basis that I SHOULD be blogging more regularly too. But somehow, I never have the time anymore to sit and type for long periods of time uninterrupted. Every time I bring up the page to start typing, the phone rings, hubby needs me for something, cats need me, someone texts or IM’s me (at least I am back on IM regularly, I guess).
It feels like whirlwind all over again. The difference between now and back then was I would deny myself food or sleep so I could spend time online with my blog or games … no more. Now I go to bed when it’s time, I eat when it’s time and to hell with the web! gasp Did I really just say that? “To hell with the web!” OMG! I am SO grown-up!
LOL
So, lets summarize the last week:
- I spent Sunday with hubby. I think we slept-in and just played WoW all day.
- Monday, we both realized that his little BIG test is this week and so we started studying in earnest.
- Little TV throughout the week, but no WoW at all. Lots of studying. I worked a lot of nights this week gone.
- I was off on Thursday, but I think I spent much of the day doing housework.
- On Saturday, I worked 9 until 5. On Friday night, we found a bug in the office. I think we came to the conclusion that it was a centipede and wasn’t to be touched:
I still haven’t confirmed it for sure, but a decent number of people concur, so I am willing to bet that’s exactly what it was. We kind of skirted the area it disappeared in all day on Saturday and never saw it once. - The weather has been crazy again all week – 60s early in the week and back down into t he 20s this weekend gone here.
The good news is that on Friday morning, my doctor changed my allergy meds – I am now on Allegra. So hopefully I’ll see less misery with them than usual. I’ll tell you this. I took the first one on Friday afternoon after and I was feeling FINE all day. Typically, I’ve forgotten it every single day since, except this morning. I started to feel the headache coming on, so I ran and took it immediately. Hopefully I will be able to avoid the aches today.
I had off Sunday AND Monday this week. Yay. Spent all Sunday with hubby, we watched movies and chilled, played a little WoW and then headed to bed early. Cos Monday was an early day for him, if not for me. Of course, I spent all day Monday just chilling. I watched Andromeda Strain and then I cleaned house. I love the feeling of a clean house. Did laundry so now I have socks for work again. I’ve been borrowing hubby’s socks cos mine were all in the wash. Having never had to wear socks on a daily basis (at least not since high school) my socks collection was at most 5 pairs.
Finally, today … and here I am. I got up with hubby and whilst he was off doing PT with his unit, I was walking around the block. Well, it took me all of 20 minutes – if that – but I think I did great and I just need to keep it up now. I feel good. I got a nice pleasant burn in my calves. After a couple of days, I’ll start walking with the weights and get that burn going in my arms too. I am convinced that additional to the fitness effect, I will improve my circulation too and maybe my feet and hands won’t be so cold anymore.
I’ve kind of rediscovered Twinkle with the advent of the iPhone. I think I really liked it when I had it before so I am going to play with a little now. I’ve also downed (and liked, for that matter) Nambu and Twitterfon… and I’ve tried out TweetDeck and DestroyTwitter (which I caught from a tweet from ThisIsTrue) and Pixelpipe. And I have to mention when I first downloaded Pixelpipe and set it up and used it, I got that one photo sent to ALL my services and it freaked me out. Especially when FriendFeed showed me posting the same picture something like 4 times. But then I figured out how to use it selectively and have since adopted that method instead. Sometimes when I take a photo with the iPhone, I want to send it to Flickr, my blog and Facebook… sometimes i just want it to go to Facebook, sometimes just to Twitter… well, you get the idea. The trick is in the tags…. uploading a picture with the tag @flickr sends the photo to Flickr ONLY and none of my other services. So, now that I have found that I can’t email photos to Facebook mobile, I think Pixelpipe and I will become the best of friends.
Ooooh it feels SO good to be back in the mobile social network again! You cannot begin to imagine….
On a serious note, I’ve been thinking SERIOUSLY about my … career path. Thinking that maybe I need to scrutinize my skills and re-vamp them. I want to ultimately be able to work from home – that will solve my immediate issue with possibly moving around the country (and maybe the world) a lot whilst hubby is still in the military. It would be a kind of stability that I, as a creature of habit, could benefit greatly from in more ways than one. The problem with that is finding the discipline to find MAKE the time to dedicate to this cause. Eventually, it’ll come .. I know it will.
They are finally collecting the refuse from January’s ice storm. Of course the small branches are still laying on the lawn (such as it is), but at least there is a clearer path to our shed in the back now that they finally decided to pick up those huge branches laying on the grass. Nala had gone into “her room” to sleep but the wood-chipper was so loud and intimidating, she came right back in here to crawl onto my lap and listen to the grinding … I don’t even see Bear. He’s been incognito since the first dude walked around assessing the litter of leaves and broken branches.
In any case, I’ve said it all now … I am going to collect the mail and keep twittering and FB’ing from my couch on my iPhone.
