I wish *I* was watching BBC's Robin Hood
I'd like to - again - thank everyone who sent their sentiments to my cousin and our family. Words cannot express our collective gratitude *group hug*
Now . . .
Can you believe I STILL haven't gotten to watch my BBCRH boxset yet? Cuz I haven't. I got the frickin' thing when I was still in Lafayette and you are all going, WTH Sandy!
Yeah, me too. T_T And I hear the production of the second series (season for us Americans) has been put on hold continuously first because Jonas Armstrong (Robin) broke his foot and then - more recently - the set(s) caught fire O.O
Anyway, I'm at work and being bored.
Talked to Michelle last night and she sounded almost normal. There's a definite sadness in her voice, but she said she had figured that's what the bleeding meant when it began and especially after the doc said her hormone levels were so low. But she said that even though she knew in her gut that she was losing the baby, she wanted to hope something could save it and when the doc told her that the baby had been lost and reality crashed in, she was just crushed. Her mom was with her and they cried together, then she went home and cried with her husband, and she said that she's at the point where she thinks that maybe it was for the best and she's not blaming herself (which is a relief) though she does believe that the reason she lost the baby was because she had JUST gotten off her birth control pills so her body wasn't ready to carry a child yet. She's already planning to start trying again in January. So, I'm glad of that (I'm probably gonna surprise visit her this weekend - she's been after me to go to her house to try out their new Wii).
And where oh WHERE is the art tutorial??? WHERE IS IT??? Uh, yeah. Kinda forgot about working on that cuz I'm diligently planning my first novel (like NOT a glorified fanfiction) - with Em's esteemed help. And no, you get no more information on that score. If and when it gets published, I will let you guys know.
I've also been inordinately busy and - as a consequence - TIRED. Like the exhausted kind. I go to bed at 9 or 10 every night which is frickin' weird for me. I think it has to do with getting up at 5:30am every morning for work.
Bellydancing starts on Sept. 15 and I've also begun a very active exercise regimen aided by PROTEIN BARS (so that I have that manufactured kick of energy when I get home). I'm not gonna change my eating habits cuz I've already given up everything bad for me - also, several items have been added to my DO NOT GO WITHIN TEN FEET OF THIS IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU list - because it gives me the kind of heartburn that makes you want to open your abdomen and remove your entire digestive tract), but I AM trying to eat more fruits and veggies - I eat enough meat.
In addition to that, I have a very strict every-day schedule that includes doing dishes, laundry, spot cleaning, and cooking. Then there's the weekly BIG house cleaning and ironing the Momma's clothes (.50 cents per item yo). Filing . . . which I still have to do from last week since I know for a FACT I have a bill in there (but it's a small bill with no time limit to pay so I'm not too worried).
And I volunteered to help out the local Girl Scout Troops . . . I'm meeting with the Service Unit Leader Friday afternoon to talk about in what capacity I am able to help out. (Apparently, she needs two co-leaders, she's already trying to rope me into doing that >-<)
Unfortunately, a lot of my every-day duties had to be put on hold last week and most of the this week because I was stupid and pulled something just behind my right knee (the historically bad one - so it's not much of a surprise). Strangely enough, it didn't seem to be getting better AT ALL until last night . . . after I did a yoga set >-< I'm like ALL I HAD TO DO WAS STRETCH IT????!!!!! Just in case, I've been wearing the MOST UNCOMFORTABLE knee brace on the face of this planet until - again - yesterday when I switched it out for the one I usually wear on my left knee (while exercising cuz my left knee - while still relatively ok, isn't all that sturdy either). The one for my right is medical grade (got it from the orthopedic doc when I cracked my kneecap in half). The left one is soft, bought from Wal-mart.
So that just means I have MORE TO CLEAN! >-<
The brother found out yesterday that the new, more powerful drugs (he's taking like 9 different drugs - including 3 nasal sprays and 2 sinus rinses) are doing it's job and the fungus seems to be dying on it's own. But it's still too early to tell if he'll need another surgery.
Fic wise - I'm mostly working on Brush Strokes V and Family 2 -- and I've got a plan for the next 30 romances.
Art wise - I've not done a damn thing. WHY? Because I'm in the midst of SCRAPBOOKING (angelica_love, I'm sorry to say this batch will have slim pickings in the 'scrapped' department but I'll still send them to you).
Well, ok, I'm scrapbooking and when I get home - after I finish all my exercise/cleaning/cooking crap, all I wanna do lately is sit down and read. So that's what I've been doing. Reading.
BOOKS.
And now I shall leave you with one last thought:
ZOMG!!!!!! *drool*
