So Glad It’s March

Yay it’s March! I’m so happy that it’s March. March reminds me of spring. The spring equinox is coming up pretty quick. And even though we get snow in March, or we can, I still like it better than February! February is the most awful month for me. Bleh!

I wonder if jobs in New York are more plentiful in March. Or jobs in general. We really need more jobs in this country and a better economy. Our economy is too awful now, hopefully it’ll get better with spring!

Trying Out Yoga

So I’m trying out Yoga Classes…. I went last night. The first time after a couple-week break since I’ve been sick, and I didn’t want to go while I was sick. This was only my third time. I like it a lot. However, dangit, it’s a lot of work!

Last night was a Yoga’s Fundamentals Class. We worked on Plank, Lunge, and Warrior Two I think… it might have been Warrior One now I forgot. :) But man, my arms are really feeling it. So are my thighs. And last night I could not hold the postures for as long as anyone else in the class. So I had to drop down before anyone else did. Ugh! I’m kinda embarrassed, but with practice I hope I’ll get better.

Maybe I’ll buy one of their promotional bags, t-shirts or tank tops… I already bought a Yoga Mat. That the dogs thought was something fun to chew on. I hope my husband has saved it from them. :)

So I’m going to keep trying it and see if maybe I can build up some strength and find some peace!

The Body Hurts

Not only am I still sick, I also have some sore areas now that I never had when I was younger… my knees have been hurting a lot lately. Yuck! I don’t like it! They hurt more when I do agility which means for a lot of running. I need something to get rid of this joint pain! I hate it! I’m not sure what I should do, except maybe take some Glucosamine. That’ll probably help but I hate spending the money on it and then the pills are so huge, they are hard to take!

Maybe I need to look into it though. Bleh. My neck still hurts too. Maybe it’s all connected, I dunno, I’m tired of getting old. I guess it’ll get worse before it gets better though… :)

Still Icky Sicky

Well, yeah, I think I have an ear infection now. Bleh. This last week my left ear has not wanted to equalize at all. It won’t pop. It’s all stuffy. Well, today it’s better, but I went to the doctor and she gave me some antibiotics which I think is helping my poor ear. Ugh. I don’t think I’ve ever had an ear infection before.

Some good news is my weight is going down, even without any diet pills. I’ve finally cracked down and gotten serious about dropping the weight, so that’s good. It’s hard for me when I’m sick, I tend to want to eat junk, which is just bad. Oh well.

Spring Yet?

So, is it spring yet? I guess not… but I can hope. It’s actually been really warm here. It rained this last weekend, but no snow. The mid-east is getting slammed with snow here in the States, but not us. We are having warmer than normal temperatures and no snow. And although I’m rather done with snow, I prefer it to mud right now. Bleh.

I just am waiting for summer. Where the grass is green, I can get out in the sun, not take adipex because I’m moving more on my own and burning my own calories.

I am just dreaming of summer…

Tired Again

Oooo boy. I did agility last weekend, three days. I am feeling better than I did the prior weekend, as I had a nasty cold that really put me in bed for a few days. And, as usual, I can ignore not feeling good when I’m on my feet and playing with my dogs. :) But today I’m feeling it. I have a nasty headache, my ears are not equalized again which totally throws me off, and I’m dread tired. Bleh.

It’ll take me about three days to recover, it usually does. Still makes me think maybe I have Fibromyalgia or something weird like that. I hope not, but who knows. The doctors don’t seem to

Well, maybe all the activity will keep me young, so I don’t need much instant wrinkle remover, but I dunno about that. I just want to go back to sleep!

This Cold

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. :)

Been Sick

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.

The Bedroom

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!

The Front Room

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!
