Mindless Thurzday

I'm going to watch FH get sworn in today - I am so excited. Not. I woke up with a horrible migraine, so bad my eye is watering on the side that it hurts. I'm going to hit CVS for some exedrine and DD for a coffee and I'm off.

Keep it clean today, ladies :)

Keep it CLEAN???  Geeze, and you're young.  I would have thot a younger person would be, well, a bit more open??

The sun is shining here again today which does wonders for my disposition.  Gloom really gets to me.  Still pretty danged chilly outside since we had yet another hard freeze last night, but the sun is shining and it's supposed to be close to 60 today.

Yet another night when I started waking around 5 and didn't either get up or fall totally back asleep.  This is three mornings in a row, and it's getting rather old.

DS #1 had to go to the ER yesterday with his asthma.  The stress is making it much worse.  Haven't talked to him this morning, but I'm sure he enjoyed his evening with the inlaws.  They specifically excluded HER...did not want her there.

Today he is moving a lot of his stuff, and should be on the road tomorrow.  Once he's here, I'll feel better and maybe actually rest better.

Keep it clean today, ladies :)

Are you feeling ok, Meg?  Keep it clean my butt!

I was supposed to be in Houston over an hour ago.  I'm sitting in my office thinking that I should get moving.  Just not motivated yet.

 I can feel the beginnings of a sinus infection setting in. I need to get up off my butt and go out and get fingerprinted today, but among all the things I don't feel like doing today because I feel like crap, that is on the list. Oh well, I have a half hour to lounge around, because I can't even call either of the places to check if they can indeed do it today until 10:00.

Feeling a little better today - so back at work.

Kate is having some issues with her roomate so she's coming home this weekend for a break.  YAY !!  Nothing serious - more like cabin fever issues.  Maybe we'll go get pedicures or something.

Harley is just so cute, when I go to pet him he flops over on his back immediately.  He even makes little grunty noises when I rub his belly.

Timmy is a big fan of this "cute method" as well. He makes a great lap dog, except he weighs 100 lbs, so his solution is to roll on his belly whenever you come near him, if he's on the floor or couch, or steamrollering you, then you won't get mad, because he looks so ridiculous.

The weather has been beautiful here the last few days - it has been +1-3 and SUNNY! The sun is glorious!! It is even supposed to be something ridiculous like +9 :D:D:D:D Spring is on it's way - I know it! We will probably get one more big storm, it seems we always do, but then it melts fairly quickly and it's on to springtime!

I still haven't remembered to call the new trainer lady about Timmy. Maybe tonight!

...  Keep it clean my butt!

I'm surprised nobody jumped on this.  We hope at least your butt is clean.  We know your mind isn't. 

Deb, glad you are feeling better.  It was nice of you to pass your sinus infection to Jen!

It was nice of you to pass your sinus infection to Jen! 

Sorry, Jen - but I really didn't want it anymore so you can have it for a while

 I'm still flustered from last night. SAR training did not go well at all. I ended up getting very frustrated and upset and left early. Neiko did so great the night before, but last night we fell flat on our face.

I have several things to get done at work today.

I finally got my taxes done last night and they were accepted. yay. That money is going to CC bills! What a relief that will be! I hate CC bills hanging over my head. Especially with high balances.

Huh, keep it clean. That's just crazy talk! Just got out of my review. It went very well. I got made fun of because I graded myself far lower than they did (we have to mark ourselves a grade for a particular item and they grade us, then we compare results). To me, I'm just doing what I should be doing. I don't see anything extraordinary about that. At the very least, I have some great job security! 

In other news, my stomach is not so good. I think it was just nerves due to the review, but blah. 

Ok guys.....my foot is getting very tired....do we have a Sonja or not????  Where's the baby????  Rupie.....Willa....where's your mommy?

Hope you feel better soon, Barb !!

 How's Agnes recovering from her wiener chasing adventure?

Meg, how's Tiki doing?

Julie, don't feel too bad... animals are sooooo good at throwing us curve balls like that. It's just part of the "experience," I guess. Even if actual SAR missions are not in Neiko's future, the process of the training is surely a great experience for him. I'm sure he enjoys it, and it's stimulating, and it's good bonding for you two. So maybe the training process is just as important, if not more important, than how well he performs?

Barbara, ouch!! I hate UTIs!!! Hope you feel better soon.

Deb, have fun with Kate :) I think this is a bad time of year for roommate drama. I know my college roommate seemed to go crazy almost overnight, round about late Jan/early Feb. I think crappy New England weather has a lot to do with it!

Grad school decisions are freaking. me. out. I got into a very prestigious program that seems pretty perfect for me. So far, BF's gotten into one prestigious program that seems perfect for him... but it's halfway across the country. And no word for him from the schools I've been accepted to. In the fall, BF and I will have been dating for 7 years, and living together for 3. I'm very concerned about our mental well-being if we have to do long-distance for 5 years of grad school! Plus, we've been talking a little bit about getting married and (eek!) even having kids within the next 5 years... that would be, IMO, impossible long-distance. At least the kids part.

I'm feeling blue today. It's the birthday of my Spanish host sister who died about a year ago (either drug overdose or suicide, her family was very vague in the details). Apparently the time period where I was there with her was the best and brightest she'd had in many years before or since. She was a very lovely, loving person who was also very troubled. So, so sad. My grandmother's health is also failing... I'm so conflicted, because on the one hand, she's been bed-ridden and mostly blind for over a year now, and I don't want her to suffer. On the other hand, she's afraid of dying because she thinks she's going to Hell. She refuses to talk to any sort of religious/church figure who might assuage her fears. I guess I'm doing all I can, which is sending her thoughts of love and peace and happiness.

Man, that was kind of a downer. Sorry. Here are some cute pictures to be happy and cheerful!
