Long Day!

So, I made it to the gym at 6 this morning. Then I went to work at 8 and didn't get off of work until after 7! I worked over 11 hours today so I am thinking that my 6 am workout tomorrow is cancelled. I need some rest! My back is killing me and was on the ride up to Beloit. Then, standing all day bending over a counter didn't help. I would have given my right hand to sit at some points in the day.

So, I went and visited my friend Leigh Ann tonight at her moms and decided that I can not go more than 1 week without visiting. Jett is soooo big! He is growing up way too fast. So, weekly visits is a must. The gym just takes up so much time. Morning workouts would leave more free time in the evening but getting up with the big ole 5 in front of the time SUCKS!

Ok, I'm off to bed. I want to read a little and thankfully I didn't leave my book in the docs car this time! Everyone made sure of it! LOL

No One Else Is, So I Will!

No one else is blogging very much! I don't really want to but I will.

I was at the gym for 3 hours last night. I warmed up in the sauna, lifted weights, sauna'd some more, did the elliptical for 30 minutes, sauna'd and then did my hour cardio fit class. So, by the time I got home and ate and showered that was it!

Tonight I did one hour on the elliptical and then tanned. My hubby bought me some tans and I love it. I haven't been this white in a long time! After this we went to Wal-Mart. Yeah, I said Wal-Mart! It was even Rusty's decision. By my blog the other night I wasn't trying to get him to take me back and I was still a little apprehensive about taking my time but he was a good guy this time! I got everything I needed and even browsed (QUICKLY) on a few isles. LOL

I let my friend Renee talk me into going to the gym at 6 in the morning on Wednesday and Thursday. Tomorrow is Wednesday............damn it! So, I better get to bed. Tomorrow is also Beloit satellite with 10 freaking cataract evals so we may not get home until 6:30 again and I have to go to the gym then too! I don't want to miss my class! Boo hoo!!! It starts at 6:00.

Ok, peace out!

3 Hours At The Gym!

There is only one reason that spending 3 hours at the gym is a problem......

NOT ENOUGH TIME TO PLAY ONLINE!

Been A Couple Days!

Ok, so I have been really lazy lately I guess. I haven't felt that great this past couple of days but that's another story. I will hopefully be back up to par by Tuesday so I can bust my booty for weigh in. I did some yoga yesterday (which was supposed to be my day off) and then I did NOTHING today. I really wanted to go to the gym but today was the worst of the last three. I have cardio class tomorrow night in which I will lift weights first. That will be good. I was a little sore from lifting on Friday so I know I am doing good. Now for the weight. I know that you also gain muscle but I want to see the weight come off. I am tired of being this overweight. I have a little over 9 weeks left though so there is no big hurry. I am just a little impatient and I got spoiled by that 4.4 the first week!

On another note, I belive that my husband becomes a completely different person when we enter Wal-Mart. I am scared to death to even mention or act like I want to look at something. He can no longer walk like a normal human being. He has to zig zag through aisle's to get to where he needs to go and get out of there as soon as possible. I know not to even think about looking for the make-up or other stuff I need. I haven't been doing much shopping lately or spending any money for that matter. So, it's a major treat to get to go to Wal-Mart. Not today though! I REALLY would like some yoga/workout pants. It would make my workouts so much easier but I hate to spend the money on them, even the cheap ones at Wal-Mart. My scrubs are super comfy for my normal workouts but with these cardio classes I need a little more moving room with all the bending, twisting, punching and kicking! Anyway, enough about that. I promise myself I will get some pants soon. I want to keep up this working out business and I don't want something ignorant like that keeping me from it.

The weekends seem to fly by. I am grateful that I don't have to do a bunch of work on the weekends like I used to. We watched 3 movies this weekend that we had DVR'd and I enjoyed that. We have recently started watching "Man vs. Food" and it is killing me seeing all this good stuff. Fry's, burgers, pizza, ice cream, DONUTS, and all things I dream of! French fries would be the shiznit right now. I may just splurge and get me a small one this next week. Bad girl, slap my hand!

I did get to choose the eat out spot for this past Friday. And..........drumroll.............of course I chose chinese. I got my Szechuan Beef which is the ultimate!! I love food and am passionate when I eat so I am also super surprised at how well I have done!

Guess I better go. I need to get in the shower and get out in time to watch the Desperate Housewives I missed last time then it's this little girls bed time!

Vewy, Vewy Interesting

I find it very interesting that my blog is making it into e-mails that are circulating. It is neat to see that people from Anadarko, Oklahoma City, Kingfisher, and Las Vegas have found interest in my blog! Some log in several times a day. Hmmmmmmm.....kinda makes ya wonder! Not really, it's just interesting.

Weigh in wasn't fabulous............. .6 pounds lost. I think that it may be due to some other things I won't discuss here! Gonna bust ass for next week though! At least I have lost a total of 5 pounds in two weeks!

One Thing

One thing to blog about tonight...........

Tomorrow is weigh in. Keep your fingers crossed FOR me! I did a cardio/kick boxing class tonight and it was intense! Lets hope it helps!

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

Whatever

My title is the last word that came out of my mouth. Thought it was appropriate. ;o)

I believe that the 30 minutes in a 160 degree sauna was definitely not the best for me. I continued to have a headache all night and throughout the day and just didn't feel well at all. I almost felt a little dehydrated. I finally got my headache to go away after taking a hydrocodone. Today at work was stressful too. We had two people gone and two doctors in and things just could NOT go right. I was belittled in front of my co-workers for no good reason that I can think of. Turns out it was all in haste towards someone else but it still doesn't make it okay. I had already planned on not going to the gym today due to overdoing it yesterday and that episode just confirmed my plans. I made it home and went into the computer room and finished up my post op sheet for work. That took a good 30 minutes then I decided to take a shower. After that I ate some dinner and then sat on the couch! And, here it is 9:15 and I am ready for bed.

Doc returned today from a 5 day hiatus and boy was I glad! Not only did he bring me my book but I sure do like to work with him. He is a little more professional when he needs to tell me how to do something that I may not have done correctly in the first place. That's a lot better than charging down the hall towards me!

Weigh in is in two days. UGH! Tomorrow my friend and I are going to partake in a Cardio type class at our gym for $2.00. Hopefully that will make a difference! It doesn't start until 6:00 so I'll have a little time to do some warm up! Then on Thursday it just might be a day of fasting!

G'Night!

Ok, So I'm Due

Damn, I haven't blogged in a while. I guess I am just so tired and ready for bed by the time I get done with working out, dinner, e-mail and stuff. Working out is really taking it out of me. Since my last weigh in I figured I needed to up my routine so I now stay on the elliptical for an hour. Today I sat in the sauna for over 30 minutes at 160 degrees and that was a little too long! I am hoping for another 4.4 pounds this week but I just don't know if it's going to happen. I have 3 more gym visits to bust my butt. The gym I go to is going to start offering a Cardio class and my friend Renee and I are going to do that. They offer it three times a week and I am thinking I should do all 3! It costs an extra $2.00 and that's $6.00 a week. I know it doesn't sound like much but it is to me when I have tried to do so well with spending.

I think that's about it right now. Working out has helped my back and it wears me out! I sure have been sleeping good though.

Don't know if I blogged about my follow up with the doc but I have arthritis in my lower back and degenerative disc disease. I am going to try the steroid epidural injections again (tried in 1998) which are a series of three. Since it's been 10 years I will see if it will help this time. Nothing like having a big ass needle stuck in your spine. If this doesn't help, I'm not sure what then. I'd rather not think about it at this point. Ok, I'm going to bed!

Thursday, January 15, 2009

Whoa!

So, today was a pretty good day. For one, no docs this afternoon. I left at 3:00 because I had overtime. I made it to the gym and did some working out. I picked Rusty up and we went to weigh in. This was our first week weigh in. I lost 4.4 pounds!! I was sooooo pumped! If I can keep that pace up I can meet my goal in twelve weeks! I know I have to work really hard though. I also have to kick it up a notch each week. So.....that's gonna switch it up!

Tomorrow morning is my appointment to see what the doc thinks about my MRI. I hate to jinx myself but I will go ahead and post that my back felt pretty awesome on Tuesday. I didn't say much about it because I was scared too. It just felt so good....it has been months since it felt like that. I really think the exercising has helped but I know it won't take care of it completely because I still have pain (seems nerve related). I did Tuesday also, but it was waaaaaaaaaaaaay less than what I have been going through for over a year. Oh my gosh, it was sooo nice. I can't even explain it!

So, fingers crossed that he will not suggest covering the issues with pain meds or trying other methods that I have already wasted lots of money on. Plus, I get to sleep in a bit since I have my appointment! Hee Hee!

A Little Blog Blog

Today was a loooooooooooooooong day. Thanks for jinxing us Becca! lol
Didn't get home from work (satellite clinic in Beloit) until 6:30.

I didn't make it to the gym tonight and I didn't get to work out at home. However, I didn't eat dinner either. I guess my lunch stuck with me! We have to work on charts on the way home from our satellite clinics and when it got dark I thought I'd get a break but the doc turned on the interior light!! LOL That's my doc! We get along really well and I figure I'm getting paid so I can work. I got over 10 hours today. I am hoping I can leave early tomorrow and get to the gym. For one....we have no doctors in tomorrow afternoon and for another, they don't allow overtime! Isn't that crazy?? You have to take time off in the same week..if schedule's allow it. So, I need to get to the gym. It's weigh in tomorrow night and after today (not exercising) I am worried about it!

Rusty is on call tonight and he just left around 9:10. Hopefully he won't be gone long. I worked on a form for work to see if I can save them some money and I also like doing computer stuff like that. I spent an hour on it and got it pretty much done. Just have to see if they approve!

I'm going to bed!

Don't Feel Like Blah-ging

So, I've lost 2.6 pounds in three days. I am super excited but I also finally am starting to feel like my ass has been kicked!

Today my cravings for foods doubled and I want anything and everything! LOL I am being a good girl though. Still under for my calorie intake so that's good. I do know that I will have to take more in but that's after my first week or so.

So, the whole ass-kicking reference is why I am not writing anymore. I'm going to bed! I even finished my book today so I am not even going to read!

Now that means I'm beat!

Sunday, January 11, 2009

It's Already Sunday??

Poor Sean and all Jayhawks fans...........they just wish people cared about their piddly little bowl they won. I wanted to punch the Jayhawk because it's ugly!! LOL It was the "We're not good enough for the championship" bowl after all! All in good fun, Sean.

I went to work out today and it was awesome. There were just 3 other people there. I like it when I don't have to worry about how I look or anything. I did cardio for 30 minutes and then went to the Health Center to see what all the fuss was about. Granted, it is nice but it was way crowded. I couldn't find a machine to get on and there were way too many people there for me to feel comfortable to do weights so I did this arm rowing maching for a bit then got out of there. I had already burned my 500 for the day so it didn't bother me too much.

That's pretty much it! I am tired and ready for bed. TTYL!

I Skipped Blogging Last Night!

I love my bubbalicious! He's sitting next to me right now and he is so beautiful!

Last night I was soooo sleepy I could hardly keep my eyes open as I finished my last round of internet updates. So, I went to bed instead of blogging because I wanted to read! I slept so good last night which means............I snored. I was on my back which means I slept really good. Speaking of my back....Rusty took a message from the doctors office that my MRI showed degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis. I am to call for a follow up appointment. With what little research I have done it can either be serious enough for surgery or just for physical therapy and such. With as much pain I am in all the time though I wouldn't mind if I had to have surgery. It will just have to wait until the summer. Until then I guess I can deal with it like I have for the last ten years. I've gotten used to it. I can't imagine what it would be like to be pain free but I like to dream about it. It would be so awesome. I hope I get to feel what that is like.

So, I was looking forward to a weekend at home laying on the couch hanging out watching movies or recorded shows. Then my husband tells me to get up and take a shower so we can go do something. I really didn't think it would be Geo-caching since it was like 22 degrees outside. Shoulda known better. LOL So we hopped in the car for some more virtuals. We went to Victoria and found out where Andrea and Sean live. I sent a message that we had driven by and I got one back that said "Thanks for stopping." So.......we turned around! It was nice to see their house and them in their natural environment. And I even got kisses from Reese!!! Marley was a little upset when she smelled my jacket. Momma cheated. I will have to say..........I felt like punching the big ass jayhawk in the stomach on the way back to the truck! LOL After traveling to Hoisington, Great Bend and back home we logged about 7 caches. I think we are at 88 or something like that now. Either way.........my husband is unbelievably and completely addicted. I am just glad he (we) have a hobby now.

Pound Plunge started Thursday night. Our initial weigh in was that night. I am planning on busting my ass on this so I am going to share completely. I weighed 167.4 at weigh in. Yep, I am THAT big. I usually hide it pretty well because most people don't believe I weigh that much. Pound Plunge lasts for twelve weeks. I am hoping to lose at LEAST 30 pounds, maybe 50. Anywhere in between would be great. I am trying to keep my calories under 1500 and do at least one hour of exercise each day. So far the calories have been kept at or near 1000. Yesterday (Friday) I went and burned over 500 calories at the gym and then today I did every one of the Yoga and Strength Training exercises on Wii Fit. Tomorrow we can use the Health Center for free from 5-7 but it will be packed I am betting. I will probably go to my regular gym but swing by the other one just to check it out. It is super nice but super pricey. I heard from a co-worker that dues were going up again. It already costs around $100 a month per person just in dues and that doesn't include the joining fee of $100 and some odd dollars per person. It's actually ridiculous. My gym is just fine! Rusty is on our team for Pound Plunge but I don't really think he is going to go at it full force like I am . Not sure. We'll just have to see. I am not going to pressure him but he best not GAIN! He doesn't need to lose as much as I do.

I think that's about it. I am ready to hit the sack and do some reading. I offered to sleep in the spare room due to my snoring. If that means I can sleep on my back I just might do it! I doubt it though. I need a lamp to read with! Good excuse, right??

Man, What A Year Already!

I guess there's some things that just can't be blogged about. That's okay....

Today was crazy busy at work. Unfortunately we had an employee who lost a family member. That's always tough. It was a long, hard day and I had to leave early due to overtime. I was okay with it though. The office was extremely warm due to the awesome weather outside!

Tonight we went to weigh in for Pound Plunge. I have at least 30 pounds to lose. I would like to lose 40 but that's quite a bit. Then again......you don't know how much I weigh! LOL This means that I have to start watching what I eat and exercising again! I used to say...."yeah, I'll watch it......go straight into my mouth!" LOL If my back doesn't stop hurting from standing in line for so damn long I won't be able to work out! No, I'll force through it like I always do. Just hope I don't do more damage than I already have.

Speaking of my back...........I called the doctor's office today to see how long it would be until I heard results from my MRI. I was informed that my doctor wasn't in the office this week and that he was going to be at the hospital working. Well son of a bitch, you couldn't have let me know that previously? She did say that she could see if another doctor could read it. Ok...........but there weren't any in today. Well, what the hell?!?!?!? There should be some in tomorrow and hopefully they will get back to me instead of making me wait all weekend. I have waited over a year for this..........let's get it done!

Here's to Friday! Only three of us will be at work.............it should be interesting. I have a feeling it's gonna be a pia day. In the words of Becca!!!

Surprises, Surprises!

Hopeful.

So, today was a little crazy. Two people were sick at our office but one of them went ahead and came in. Bless Wanda's hard working heart......she really did look like death warmed over. She worked her little booty off until after 2:30 before finally succumbing to her awful cold/flu/whatever. I am not really sure what time she went home. It could have been after 3:00. I wish she could have stayed home. I hope she does tomorrow. She needs her rest. We are gonna be swamped but if someone is THAT damn sick it's not worth it!

After work Rusty and I went to his place of work to grab his work charger and then he showed me this home he found just outside of town. It's really nice but we don't know much about it and then the whole down payment thing comes in to play. Darn evil money!!

We start Pound Plunge tomorrow so tonight we went and ate Chinese again. Then, we came home and took care of a few things around the house. That's about it!

I started my other book last night..."The Choice". I am ready to go back in there and read again! I am going in to work early tomorrow just in case our two are sick again. Ya never know until it's too late to get there early so we tried to plan ahead!

Following In The Foot Steps Of My Friends

So, if others don't have to blog every day why should I? Well, we all know the answer....because I am addicted! LOL

Seriously though, I am going to skip tonight. Today was a long day and I am ready to go start my other book!

One big thing that happened today is that I got major kudos from my boss..........that always makes your day a little brighter! I like to know I am doing a good job. I make sure of it!

Confined, Small, Coffin-like Spaces

This morning came a little early for me. I hate when I wake up needing to pee and I figure it's pretty close to time for the alarm to go off so I don't go then, an hour later, I am waiting for the alarm to go off so I can pee! Ya feel me?

My MRI was this morning. I had one done some ten years ago and I remember that I didn't feel very well for the next three days. Something about being shoved in a tube that has about 6-8 inches of space between it and you. Not to mention the LOUD banging noises it makes. So, coming to my mind is being buried alive in a casket under a concrete slab and hearing the jackhammers and other things that people are using to try and get me out. Then nearly 40 minutes after I entered the instrument she announces she is going to give me an injection and then take two more scans. Injection?? Since when did we inject dye for MRI's?? Guess I have been out of the loop on that one. I have yet to research it. So, when I was trying to get off of the table I had to have help just to sit up due to my back/hip. I didn't even have what it took to roll to the side first (like I have to in the mornings just to get to my clock). So help me if they say they don't see anything I just may go insane. Hopefully I will hear results within the next two days. My doc doesn't see patients on Tuesdays but maybe he takes care of stuff like results. I am going to have a hard time being patient.
Enough about that.

After laying in this casket feeling contraption for an hour I made it to work. It was unusually very calm. I will eat my words come tomorrow since we are at satellite and will be seeing 28 patients in just the a.m. Gonna be one of those days I suspect. Right now I am just so sleepy I am ready to go to bed. But, I want to read!!!! Waaaaaah! I love reading my books in bed. The only problem is that I get so sleepy I will sit there and read until I physically can not keep my eyes open. So, it is only 8:33 and I am getting ready to go in there and start reading so I can get to sleep a little early. I have to be at work by 6:45 in the morning so I want to make sure I don't stay up until 11:00 reading. Not that I wouldn't make it to work even if I did. I am just too darn dependable and responsible! Make you gals laugh?

Ok, ready to here what the hubby says when I announce I am turning in at such a young hour? Me too!

Sunday, January 4, 2009

Man, I'm Sleepy!

I slept pretty good last night. I guess waiting until almost 1:00 am to go to bed helped! I didn't plan on staying up that late but I got a second wind after I showered. So, it's 6:20 right now and I am going to snag that shower early so I won't be wide awake when it's time for bed!

I got up and went to church this morning. I enjoyed the message today about "wanting". I also began thinking about the difference between being spoiled and being blessed. I realized that I am not a spoiled little brat as some may assume. I have just been unbelievably blessed throughout my life. I have been blessed with the many opportunities in my life. I have been blessed with an education, a wonderful husband and marriage, and the ability to relocate at the drop of a hat for our happiness. I also learned that the less you want the more you shall be blessed. So, in the new year I am going to try to not "want" as much. Lord knows I am already blessed beyond my wildest dreams..........but there are some other areas of my life that need a little blessing still!

After church I came home and made a list for groceries. I spent A LOT of money but this should last a while. We are going to limit ourselves to eating out once a week, not more than twice. We really would like to look into a house this summer so we have got to make some changes. Anyway, after the grocery store I came home and Rusty helped get everything unloaded and put away. I started dinner and now, after eating and cleaning the kitchen, here I am. I am very sleepy and ready for bed!! I am going to grab a shower and then sit back and relax until bed. I have to get up early tomorrow and early on Tuesday also. Ick!

Tomorrow is my MRI. Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well......................which means I hope they find something so they can find out what is causing all of my pain. If they don't find anything I will probably be devastated. I don't WANT something to be wrong but something HAS to be wrong to be in pain like this 5-6 out of 7 days per week. So, we'll see. I sure hope it doesn't take my doctor all week to get back to me. I finally went and got the Naproxen script he wrote out and it didn't really do much. Anywho, again I am talking about my darn back.

Wishing you all a great week ahead and many blessings!

Going Ahead And Getting It Over With

Well, I am kinda bored so I figured I would go ahead and blog. I am also getting tired already and it's only 8:48 pm!!

Today I got out of bed prepared to head out and do some geocaching. At the time I went to bed last night the weatherman was calling for nearly 60 degrees today. Rusty had planned out his whole trip. Then, when I came in the living room he kind of pouted out "the weatherman lied". It was 39 degrees! So, I got on line a played for a tad bit and then I saw him looking at a map that only had two states highlighted, Kansas and Oklahoma. Those are the only two states we have been geocaching in. So, I commented that we could drive up to Nebraska to grab a geocache or two if he wanted since it's only about one and a half hours away. Ok, can you say "Make your man happy?" LOL

We hit the road and headed east to Russell then up to Osborne and so forth until we made it to Franklin, Nebraska. We did several "virtual" geocaches where you just go to a place and you have to e-mail the answers to certain questions about it. Then they will let you log it as a "find". On the way home we tried a couple of regular geocaches and got a few. The last few we tried it was just too darn cold. I didn't even get out. It was about 27 degrees.

When we made it back we ran into Wal-Mart to pick up a utility cart for the kitchen. Our kitchen is so small I needed to move the microwave so I could have some counter space! We also need a smaller kitchen table but that will have to wait. Maybe it won't be too long until we can get a house of our own. We then treated ourselves to Golden Corral for the first time since moving here and it was pretty decent. We are definitely going to be changing our eating out habits since we figured up how much money we spent on eating out this past month. It will also help that we will be starting pound plunge. Lots of cereal, veggies, and sandwiches with that I am guessing. Rusty also picked up a Playstation game he has been waiting for...........yep, more gunshots and explosions. Gonna be hard to do any reading while sitting in here with him but I am willing to try.

Other than that..........sounds like we didn't have a very eventful day but we did. Lots of road time. Glad to be sitting here at home relaxing. After I grab my laundry out of the dryer and get it put away I think I'll grab a shower and then read a bit. I also need to get the pics off of the digital camera.

I am going to get up and go to church tomorrow so I don't need to stay up real late. Not that it starts super early or anything!

Ok, have a great Saturday evening and a wonderful Sunday! I'll hit ya back tomorrow evening!

HHHMMMM......Bed Is Sounding Good!

Wow, what a day. I had a headache (neck ache) when I went to bed last night and I thought it was from no caffiene. Well, I woke up with it this morning and went and got my normal DP before work and it didn't make a damn bit of difference. So, scratch the caffiene idea. I went at lunch and got my prescription for Naproxen to see if that would make a difference. I think it made my back feel a little better but not my head. So, here I am still hurting. What's new, right babe?

Rusty and I watched a movie tonight that we had recorded on the DVR and then we have just been sitting and relaxing (on line) since then. I think I am ready to go to bed and read my book. I am finally getting tired and starting to relax a little. It looks as though the weather is going to be pretty awesome tomorrow so we are going to be going and doing some geocaching. I sure hope my head feels better by then. Otherwise, I won't make a happy geocacher. Rusty is hoping for 14 in one day........

Which reminds me. I had a message on my cell phone at lunch and it was Becca. She found her first geocache today!! Yeah for her. It is so fun and addicting. I hope it gets her and her family out of the house for some adventures this coming spring!

Ok, I'm out..................like a light I hope!

P.S. So excited for the new year and the changes ahead.

Ugh...Need Caffiene

My headline has NOTHING to do with drinking too much or anything like that. I did not get out and get a Dr. Pepper today and I am wondering if that is why my head hurts and I feel like poop! I need some caffeine. I think I am going to continue to allow myself one a day during pound plunge. I don't know..........I shouldn't but I love that stuff!

Last night Rusty and I went to Staci and Curt's house. There was another couple there with a beautiful baby girl that was about six months old. Curt's parents came and then Leigh and Georgia showed up. We played a game called "Catch Phrase" and it was pretty darn fun. Rusty is a quiet person (until he gets to know you) but it loosened him up pretty quick. We really did have a great time. I didn't drink much. I just don't like to drink I guess. Rusty gets frustrated with me but I think it's probably better to not enjoy it than it is to overly enjoy it. I am sure if I were still smoking it might be a different story but then the evening would have went completely different. I wouldn't have been able to play the game since I would have been going outside all the time to smoke and then coming back in and making it stink! So, I would rather not drink!

Today was pretty worthless. I tried my hardest to sleep in but mainly just wasted my morning. Then I got pretty sleepy while sitting on the couch. I tried to doze off but it was awful hard with all the gunfire and explosions going off in my ear. Rusty was playing Playstation. So.........I went and laid in bed. BIG MISTAKE. That was around 2:30 and I got up at 6:00. That means I will not be able to sleep tonight. Having today off made it seem like Saturday. The only problem is that it's Thursday and I have to work tomorrow! Ugh.................

I do find myself sitting here yawning so maybe I will be able to sleep. I am going to grab some medicine for my head and then see if I can get that awesome man of mine to rub my neck and shoulders for a bit. It's bothering me pretty bad so maybe he will! Then I think I'll get to bed!

Yeah for a new year full of happiness and blessings! Can't wait to see what this year holds for us. I've got some ideas though ;o)
