I was insane

I was looking at the past months (starting summer 2009) of my Google calendar and I am concluding that I must have been insane. Nearly every day there was some kind of activity planned! I remember planning a lot of things to do, but looking at all that Mack and I have done is just overwhelming! I am in a completely different mood right now, where I am very selective in what I am planning and how much I'm doing. My being selective now has a lot to do with Mackenzie graduating in June, most likely, so I'm hoping to take a vacation with him, so I can't really set many plans. Another reason is money, don't have much to do much. I've also enjoying watching tv and reading and playing Sudoku, much to the likes of old people. I am content on staying at home a lot. Am I just getting old or just more lazy? Probably both. Maybe when the days get even longer, I'll find I have more time that needs to be planned out. My madness started last May and ended Nov. Those are the hot months, so maybe I'll be insane again!

Make Up Your Mind

I'm talking about the weather, it's supposed to rain today, but it's nice out. I like it out now, but I like it when I know for sure it's nice out. In a few months, it will be 90's and occasional 100's, you know it will be sunny and hot.

Yesterday, went to chorus and found out that our gig that I didn't go to went horrible. We sang horribly. I am so sad. We got a pep talk and now I have to up my game. It's good to get a pep talk once in a while. I really need to practice my music. Only four more weeks until the concert! That is a scary thought! It might be my last for this chorus since Mack will most likely get a job in the bay area and I'll be looking for a job myself, try to get at least a temp job, it will be interesting what happens...

Oh, this was funny, last night, I parked my car and had that feeling that someone was in the car next to me. Turns out there was this grey dog sitting in the drivers seat! The dog looked at me calmly and it was just hilarious because it was the size of someone sitting down and it looked like a person. It surprised me at first, then it just amused me greatly.

Extreme Boredom Ahead

Got back from a nice vacation from work. Wed and Thurs were campus closure days and Friday was a holiday, so that was a nice five days away from work. April will suck since there are no holidays. I am using a day off this Friday, but other than that, I think I'm stuck with working all that time! That is a lot to handle after not working that much in March. I will have worked 11 days in March. That was nice.

Went home for my dad's 65th birthday. Too much drama!

Went shopping and got some good clothes.

Saw Hot Tub Time Machine where they travel back to 1986. It was hilarious.

Just lots of time relaxing and enjoying the nice weather. This week is supposed to be rainy. I have a wedding to go to next weekend, this weekend is Easter, I should have another thing to look forward to, besides bowling. I got 148 and 135 last time I went bowling! That could be my best scores so far. I think that is all that has happened recently.

Mr. Waddles

Went home after work and opened the screen door to let in the nice spring air. I sat down, all comfortable on the couch and watching tv. I looked outside, and there he was, the evil, scary black goose that was trying to kill me when Mack and I were walking in the parking lot one day at our apt to go home. That goose looked me in the eye that first time I met it and I was scared for my life. I thought it was going to chase me, so I was freaking out and Mackenzie said I made the mistake of looking it in the eye, because the goose to sense my fear.

So, here I was, the goose now was trying to get onto our porch, it was ducking its head, trying to get under the fence! I yelled, "Mackenzie, it's trying to kill me!", but when Mackenzie looked outside, the goose was just standing there, pretending to be all innocent. Ya, right! This goose is scary looking as well, mostly black, with some white, and scary red stuff around its beak. After awhile, I calmed down, and decided to have it be our sort of pet, Mackenzie came up with the name Mr. Waddles, and I loved it, so now Mr. Waddles is our new friend.

Went to chorus last night...not a big turn out. But had fun. Watched some X-Files and fell asleep.

Spring clothes!

Had a good weekend, even though I was sick from Wed (St. Pattie's) til Friday...so not at work. I went to work Wed but only lasted an hour before I realized I had a cold and it was not allergies. Watched a lot of tv, notably Buffy. What a good season! It was season 5. Friday, I went to get a pedicure just so I could get outside and test my energy. Didn't really have much.

Saturday, finally worked out after being fat and doing nothing. It was hard. Went for a walk after that.

Sunday, finally feeling a whole lot better. Went shopping with a friend at Roseville and spent about 6 hours shopping! I got a lot of cute clothes, very happy about that. Worked out and went through my drawers and will be getting rid of a bagful of clothes so far...will be adding to that with other clothes hanging around. Going to sell them at the garage sale in May for SWC. Spring cleaning time!

Still feel the disaster of being sick and eating and not moving. Blah! Just hope I don't get sick anytime soon...can't wait for the vacation from Wed-Sun!!! I will have worked hardly at all in March. Oooh, bowling tomorrow! I hope to get 100...I can only dream...

Die, computer, die

Ok, I've been working at jobs with computers, and I'm starting to want to just kill them. I treat my computers at home mostly like a tv. Sometimes, I do need to go online to do shopping and checking things, but I'm rarely on there for long due to my being on one for 8 hours a day. I am really thinking about massage therapy. There are many places to get your certificate and it's physical work and you don't stare at a screen for hours or deal with stupid, nitpicky crap people point out. ok, I love my work:) But, I'm not all that happy. I'll be researching on this. I could always try to sub in libraries, but I'm getting depressed how libraries are getting cuts left and right, and I really don't want to deal with it anymore. You do want to be respected for your work. I now know that is a priority for me.

Warm Weather

I haven't updated that much ever since I got sick...

Weekend:

Friday: went to the library to pick up a book. Got Thai Dynamite for dinner since I was starving. I was tired but couldn't sleep. Mack partied and drank.

Saturday: I was a zombie due to lack of sleep and Mack was hung over. We stayed at home, watched movies, ate Chinese. Pretty good for just relaxing.

Sunday: Sprung forward (the clocks) Worked out, walked, did laundry. Watched Alice in Wonderland. Sat behind a horrendous group...a mom and three little kids who couldn't see shit, one was sick-wtf?, all were moving around, kicking our seats. We need an all adult movie night for these movies. Freaking A...mind your damn kids! I would not tolerate that shit if I were a parent.

Today, I was fine this morning getting back to work with the time change. Everyone else hated it. It will be a very nice week, in the 70s. Plus, I'm taking Friday off. Maybe going shopping this weekend. Then back for Monday and Tuesday, then have the rest of the week off!!! I'm so very happy! I'll be working out a bunch, and enjoying the nice weather, which I hope it will be that week. Not much planned, which is good. Plus saving money is always good. Maybe looking into bay area jobs since Mack is applying to jobs there now. I hope he gets a job in the bay area. I'd be so happy to move! I'll miss the people, but not the job or annoying students. :)

Back

I'm back to work after what seems like forever. I'm still coughing, but a lot better. I'll test out my energy by cleaning today. Gotta say that I was sick of being at home. Good to be elsewhere, even if it is work. I hope Mackenzie isn't sick, but it will be my turn to take care of him if he is sick. He has to do a bachelor party soon and our friend's wedding is in a month.

This weekend, gotta see Alice in Wonderland! Can't wait! Maybe bike/hike, get out of the apt. since I'm so sick of it. Take care of Mack if he is not feeling good.

Virus Attack

Ever since Monday morning, I've had a sore throat. That morning, I was getting ready for work and it took way too much effort to do anything, so I called in sick, thinking I would rest and get better for the next day. Turns out, I have a bad virus. It was weird though, since I just had a sore throat for three days. Went to the doctor to take a Strep throat test, turned out negative. My voice has been off and on the past few days. I woke up coughing this morning and Mackenzie was scary since I woke him up. Been watching a lot of tv, playing games, and reading (loving Johanna Lindsey romance novel right now). Kinda boring at times and lack energy, so not fun, but wearing my Snuggie a lot and doing some of my favorite things, so that is ok with me. I had several plans this week that had to be rescheduled or just not go to. I told myself I needed a vacation...like a week. Guess the body takes over when you don't listen (or can't) to what your body/mind wants. I would have taken a vacation if possible, but lack of vacation days makes that difficult.

That has been my week. Still not that great, so will be resting all weekend.
