I've been sick for 2.5 days. I took yesterday off work, which was smart, but I should have taken today off too. Even standing up exhausts me.

I stepped on the scale this morning, and I've officially lost 5 pounds this month. Slow and steady wins the race.

Having a sore throat has reminded me that hot tea - so hot it basically scalds my throat going ( Read more... )

On top of minding what I eat and drink, I've been gymming and cycling like a mother-effer lately. Everything is stiff and sore in that "I worked previously atrophied muscles and now they won't let me forget it" kind of way, but it reminds me that I'm actually DOING IT. This is good ( Read more... )

Last night's offers were a smashing success. We listed the price low at $419,900 on purpose to generate interest and create competition, however we never expected such a huge turnout. We had 11 offers registered, then one backed out when they heard how many offers there were. So we looked at 10 offers--most between $439,000-$475,000, some with a ( Read more... )

I have some time while my video exports, so I thought I'd write a quick update ( Read more... )

This morning's reply to my entry from eclpse reminded me that my non-Facebook friends are totally out of the loop. Sorry about that...

WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!!!!!

I have a few moments while my Mac updates so I will take a second to post an update.

The wedding cake was a success. I mean, I can look at it and see flaws, but I'd prefer to think of these things as "things I'd do differently next time". If I had a super-power it would be a freakish eye for detail, and I sometimes have to remind myself that a) what ( Read more... )

January 6: A day of convalescence! I laid on the couch all day watching TV and movies-thank goodness for Netflix-and surviving on hot soup and tea. I wasn’t in a LOT of pain, but it was enough that I’d hold off going upstairs until it was absolutely necessary. Jeremy came home from work SHAKING from fever and body aches, and we shared the couch and ( Read more... )

Sally is still at the clinic. She apparently picked up a respiratory viral infection, probably in her weakened state after her last stint at the vets, but has been working through it steadily. She still has a runny nose so the vet wants to keep her at least one more night before he can discharge her confidently. So, we're not out of the woods yet, ( Read more... )

Monday September 20 - Mookie is starting to look dehydrated from her chronic kidney issues again, so I take her in to the vet before work thinking all she needs is another dose of subcutaneous fluids and she'll be right as rain. The vet instead does his assessment and tells me that there's nothing he can do for her; fluids would only give her a ( Read more... )
