Luna Tail

Well, I’m getting better from my cold… I still don’t feel 100%. Not even close… but I do need to work tomorrow. Fortunately I get to work from home so that will be good. My head is still stuffed, my ears are clogged, my nose stuffy, and I feel drained. But I’m better than I was last week.

It really sucks that people get sick so fast, within a couple of days, and it takes such a long time to recover and feel good again. I think it’ll still be a week or so before I completely pull out of it.

Oh well… getting to bed now.

Yup… I’ve been sick lately. Bleh. Not fun… well, actually, it’s not so bad. I get to do some of my most favorite things and have no responsibilities… which I really love! Responsibilities cause me severe anxiety and so this is been a nice break. Though I’m starting to feel better now and so feeling guilty about not working with the dogs as much as I like. And I never work with them as much as they like!

What are some of my most favorite things? Sleeping all day.. watching TV and Movies, and having my husband take care of me. Sleeping is up there at the very top! LOL.

Though I’m tired of winter now. Looking at pond fountains to put in the yard is more fun than looking at mud and gunk in the back yard. Bleh! We don’t have snow. We just have dirt and mud and dead grass. I can’t believe our grass survives every year to come back. It’s so icky nasty out there. Mostly in the back yard, but the front isn’t all that great either.

Oh well, it’s a nice rainy day today, which I like. I just wish it didn’t have to be muddy, too.

And here is my bedroom! It’s a light purple.. which I also like! I had it painted a dark pink but that was much too loud and so I painted over it. So this room has been painted twice!

I need to get a picture of the bathroom too, and I forgot, but hopefully I’ll get that going in the next while here. So far, I do like my house, and posting these pictures is making me realize that!

And here is the front room, which I also love… I love the brown paint. I never thought I’d like brown, but I wanted something homey and yet darkish but not too dark. Tatum is in this picture posing, too.

No POS systems in here.. but lots of tile floors! I love the tile floors. They are so nice for the dogs, and the poop that yes, we still get indoors once in a while.  That is Tatum’s bed in the middle of the floor, she likes to sleep in the sunshine.  And it’s still icky winter here and so we absorb all the sun we can get!

Okay here is another one of my rooms… this is the hallway. It’s been painted for some years now and I still love the green.

Maybe i should find some careers in painting… hrm… naw, I don’t like painting nearly that much. I just like the finished product. The painting is work. The prep is even more work than the painting. My rooms are not perfect but that’s okay, they make me happy and that is all that matters. And yes, I like color, can you tell? Color makes me happy and makes me feel like the house is a nice place to live. Plus it’s easily changed if we sell. Which is a bonus!

The bedroom is done! Yay! I’m so excited. I do need to print some nice dog pictures for the frames I bought. And I already need to clean the carpet again because Lucy has thrown up on it (I wish we could do tile flooring in the bedroom but that’s more work than we want right now), but that’s okay, I like the room!

I was taking some pictures of my rooms and I think, for the most part, I am really happy with how they have all turned out.  Most of the upstairs is painted and done, even after 10 years of living here.  I still hate the kitchen… that will be a while though since we don’t have the money or the time to totally gut it.  Oh well. I’m going to post up some more pictures over the next while because I like my house!

Okay so I don’t want to get lost in Denmark so I’m trying to figure out how to program my Garmin GPS so that it will have Europe maps. Mainly Scandinavia but it seems that Europe includes Scandinavia. But it’s not easy… well, maybe it is, but I’m fighting the idea of having to pay over $100 for maps. Ugh, that is just way too expensive!

I wonder if other GPS units have cheaper maps? I dunno, but it’s bugging me!

Ugh… it does, my neck has been hurting for about five days now, worse than usual. And I have hardly even been crackling it. Okay I probably did at the agility trial I went to this past weekend… but for the last couple of days I’ve been mostly sitting and keeping it propped up against pillows. Bleh.

I’ve also been taking Advil which usually helps, but this time it’s not helping so much. Maybe I need some truck accessories, or van in my case, that will help to support my neck when I’m driving. I dunno. It just hurts and I want it to stop hurting. Maybe my advil has worn off and I need to go take some more.

I’ve tried the chiropractor and the physical therapy and neither have had any lasting results.

Yay the house is clean!  Well, the upstairs is, anyway.  The downstairs needs work.  The spare bedroom is painted, and the house is decluttered, and the maids came. Woot! It’s so nice to have a maid. I just don’t understand how to clean.  And I don’t understand how every darn surface in the house needs to be cleaned on a regular basis… which really seems more often than I can handle.  And so I hired a maid again.

My husband and I decided to refinance the house instead of paying it off in four months.  I was too stressed, he said. I was too tight and it was too much of a burden. So instead we refinanced and lowered our mortgage to a teeny tiny amount per month.  So that’s good, and it let me afford a maid again. And it’s helping the economy, right?  Paying for a maid? I think so! Maybe we need something for hair loss prevention too… but I dunno about that yet, the husband doesn’t really care and neither do I!

Anyway, so they cleaned the upstairs while I watched the dogs downstairs. And so it’s clean upstairs now. And they are going to come once a month. And it’s only $49 a month, so I can do that… $25 a pay check. It’s affordable! I like affordable. And I like a clean house too!

So last night I went to my first Yoga class. It was really fun I enjoyed it. It was also a lot of work and my muscles are not very strong. But I hope to go back and get some strength built in my sorry old and weak body! I might go back on Wednesday after work.. but I’m not sure yet. It still makes me a bit nervous!

My nose is completely stuffed. Maybe they have colon cleanses for noses… bleh. I think I might have to go to an Ear Nose Throat doctor and see what is going on. The ONLY thing that clears me up is Afrin, and that stuff is not good to use for any length of time. I use it for 3 days and then I stop so I don’t get addicted to it. Bleh.

Anyway, I also hope I don’t get sick, as my Husband has been sick for the last week and it’s really hard to not catch stuff from the Husband. Oh well.

I’m tired, and it’s time for bed!
