Checking In (when I want to check OUT!)

Life here in paradise has been hectic, to say the very least. Here’s just a snapshot of the fun I have been having:

  • So busy that I haven’t been to the gym in over 2 months, despite the fact that I am still paying for it. Bad.
  • Callie (our Jack Russell) decided to eat a piece of rubber that lodged in her belly and was at the vet for several days. As of her 4th follow-up visit this AM because she was still vomiting every day, she has been diagnosed with an esophageal hernia, and needs special food AND more medication from now on. Bad.
  • The corn that my MIL is growing the back yard is, well, growing. Not bad, just disgusting. We do have 3 dogs, you know!
  • Got a job offer. Good, right?
  • Turned down the job offer.
  • Planning Chip’s 50th birthday party in Balto. How do more people keep finding a way on to the list?
  • Have had to have my new eyeglasses (TRI-focals, mind you) readjusted about 5 times and still cannot see a flipping thing. Bad.
  • Pool had a leak and had to be repaired a few times. It seems to be holding as of today, but we’ll see.
  • Our niece, Jamie, is coming down for Memorial weekend with her two friends, Gail & Paige. I haven’t yet shopped or cleaned and they will be here tonight. I won’t really get to see them because I leave for NJ on Friday for my cousin’s baby’s naming. I am un-ready for a runaround weekend of here and there and everywhere.
  • Idol is over as on tonight (go, Lee) and this season was pretty dry and boring. Bad.
  • Relay for Life is finally passed. Last year I was the #2 fundraiser in the county. This year I am, I don’t know, 10th or something… and I raised more this year than last! We’ll see what happens next year!

Having said all of that, I am making a conscious effort to get all the monkeys off of my back, and try to gain some rest & focus in my life. If you are a monkey, get away.
