Just my life the past few days.................
Before I start.............I absolutely LOVE watching NFL in the snow - playoffs makes it that more exciting. My picks this weekend: GB, NE, Indy, and Dallas. Yeah, those are probably the "easy way out" picks, and anything can happen...........but I just don't see any of the other 4 teams involved pulling out a miracle today ( sorry Zzyzx, if you're even back from the cruise yet and reading this!)
I am so procrastinating taking down Christmas right now. I hate taking it all down, and I need to do it tonight or tomorrow morning. And I just dont' want to, it always makes the house seem so empty when it's all gone. =(
Last night I had a FANTASTIC dinner with 3 of my best guys. I'm sure there's going to be some cosmic consequence that the 4 of us all actually were free on the same night, but it was a great time. Went to Kyoto, one of those Japanese "iron chef" hibachi places, and I went all out, app, dinner and dessert, spent over 30 bucks but well worth every penny, for the dinner AND the company.
Yesterday and Tuesday, I had/have to go to the NEIU for training, I kinda sorta volunteered for this one. My unofficial name for it is "kicking ass and taking names training". Yup - crisis intervention and restraint! Friday was more the kum-ba-ya "here's what to do so you don't have to get physical" psychology stuff, Tuesday is where we learn the holds and releases and stuff. I almost WANT some creep to come up to me in a mall parking lot or something after that, so I can test them out on real subjects. Is there something wrong with me that I'm pumped about this?
Another thing about this: So when I was telling one of the teachers that I was going to train for this, she said "oh so you're going to be the new Mr. Fox?" screeeeeeeeeech MISTER FOX?!?!?!?! Apparently that's the code name at my school for when shit is going down they call "Mr. Fox" to said room where crisis is occurring and that's when I would rally. The funnier thing about that is right before that lunch that day, I had gotten an email from the REAL Mr. Fox, my Foxy, asking if he could spend the night at my place this weekend. So I emailed him back and it turned into this whole Fox vs. Fox battle royal karate battle that's going to occur at my place next weekend - hahaha. Or not.............I'm just thrilled that I'm getting my second Foxy visit in a month. Always good for many many laughs!
I am feeling much better but I HATE antibiotics. I feel like they mess with me emotionally. Like I was in the store earlier, and saw this old man barely making it around with a cart, and I almost busted out crying, thinking that as hard as that was for him, it was probably the only highlight of his day, he just looked so pitiful. (of course, now I"m giggling because I'm sure some of you sickos reading this would laugh if you saw the same thing, or it's VERY possibly you're laughing at ME right now for being such a sap!)
Finally - the crochet thing............Oh it's going ok, but in true Laurie B A.D.D. fashion, the hat is the only thing I've finished. But I've started 3 different afghans in three different color combos and styles, none of which I will probably ever finish! But I bought different yarn today because I would love to make some mittens or gloves..........yeah, a.d.d. indeed. Let's fast forward about 6 months from now, and see how many bags of yarn and un-finished projects I have strewn across the apartment shall we?
SO that's all I got right now, which is enough eh? Even with the earlier in the week sickies, I feel pretty good, like my energy is realigning or that things are turning around or something? Not sure why or how..........just a hunch. Or not that they NEED to turn, just you all know me - I get in my ruts, and I don't even know I'm in them until I start to pop OUT of them..............that's where I'm at right about now. =)
