It's Friday

I have had a much better week than I've had in quite a while. Monday I went to work and it was SO busy. It was by far the busiest day of the year, in fact I only took a 15 min break that day because there simply just wasnt enough time! lol. But what really made my day was that before phones went on, the entire symphony surprised me with a surprise birthday party ( it was for me and my 2 other amazing co-workers who share their birthdays in August with me ) :o)....That was sooo nice and thoughtful of them!!! There was strawberry shortcake and cupcakes :o)

Tuesday was sooooo much fun!!!!!!! I went with Carrie to my Knitting/Crochet group. It was soooo much fun, the girls there are soooo nice and welcoming. I made cheese quesedillas..me and carrie were going for that psuedo mexican theme, so she borught some tortillas chips and dips and stuff too :) Jeannine helped me figure out the details of what my first project will look like, she is so awsome. I'm making a bag that has 6 panels, and then one panel to bring it all together. I really like it. And it's coming along pretty nice, so im realllly pleased! Ellen had also brought a tape of her color guard unit and we saw a performance tape she had brought. OMG I LOVE COLOR GUARD!!!! I have GOT to make it to Ohio this year. I miss it every year because of work or something stupid, but this time I'm really going to do it! :o) I want to take pics of my first project, but I'll do so when it starts looking like a little more than a swatch lol. I'm still on panel 1 of 6 ! lol !!!

Wednesday was PRODUCTIVE AS HELL. And I'm really proud of myself for that. Work all day had been insanely busy. After work though I was able to see my chiropracter, which was LONG overdue, and he cracked my life away. And it felt GREAT. My neck was sooooo tense and my back, I was literally feeling very hunched and unhealthy. Thank you Dr. Joe! :)

As exhausted as I was I knew when I got home that I needed to start painting already, and stop putting it off. So I got to it and put all the primer on, on every wall. I feel like SUCH a dyke, between chiseling out the moldings to create custom hinges for my doors, to smathering plaster and primer everywhere lol. It felt rather awsome! :o) I was up til 4:30 am, well i had finished putting all the primer on by 3:30, but then of course I had to come and chill by the computer and just relax! lol.

Thursday was also very productive. Work wasnt as busy, which helped because I had barely slept the night before lol. For lunch my co-worker treated me for lunch because it had been my birthday, so I treated myself to a YUMMY turkey burger with fries!!!! I know I know, its completely un-organic and its MEAT! lol. But I had been craving a turkey burger FOREVER, so i treated myself :o) and it was SO DELICIOUS. I have such a weird relationship with meat. I'm not a veggie because of the animal thing. Although I AM against the mistreatment of animals completely. I just choose to not eat meat often at all, nor certain dairy products. It's moreso for health reasons and it just fits my lifestyle and likes much better. If im forced to eat meat, i much rather prefer turkey than anything. Chicken is a second runner up. I really hate eating meat alot though, it has soooo many hormones in it that especially can affect women. Anyways!!!!!! lol. After work I got back to painting and it went really well. I had to put the second coat of primer, so that went well. I was done much earlier so I got to watch the MTV Video music awards whilst talking to people online. That was fun actually. Me and Carrie were rating how hot each woman was as they came out, it was HILARIOUS.

Another major update, is about my sleep problem. This week, for the first time in one month and a half, I was able to sleep for 6 hours on one night and 7 and 1/2 hours last nite !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS HUGE. I've barely slept at all for over a month.

So yeah, today is Friday and somehow I made it through the week. Getting through each day has been really hard, but I'm glad to have made it through another week. Today I'm excited for a few reasons....

I get to see the doctor to get advise on my sleep situation and possibly meds to make that happen EVERY nite lol. Then Im off to see my accupuncturist for what im sure will be an amazing treatment. ( in fact that might resolve the sleep inssue entirely). After that I'm going take care of some things, but I plan on going to yoga tonite, i HOPE I get to actually go, ive been really wanting to do that, i also want to get info. in person about the Shaman fire ceremony they have there.....hopefully it will all go well :o)
