I've had something in my eye all morning. I can't see anything, but I can feel it. I tried to flush it out, but no luck, so I'm suffering. Blergh!
On the getting healthy front, I've been gaining and losing the same freaking 5lbs since Jan 5. By Friday, it's gone and I'm happy, but Monday it's back and my pants hurt me. I really need to work on changing my weekend habits (which consist of eating and drinking whatever I want!).
Someone I have known since I was 3 years old passed away this weekend. We went to Preschool together and her mom used to babysit me. I never really kept in touch with her, except for Facebook, but my heart is broken all the same. Her mom passed away a few years ago from breast cancer and then my friend got it. She was on her second round of chemo, and then all of a sudden things took a turn for the worst and she passed away on Saturday night. The outpouring of love and support for her husband and children (8 and 4) is amazing. Even though I hadn't kept in touch with her, for some reason her passing is hitting me hard. I guess because she was my age and it really makes me evaluate life.
I finally caved and went to the Minute Clinic today because I still feel like crap. I have a sinus infection. Yay...not really. I'm going to email my boss and let him know the NP wrote me off work until Wednesday and he's probably not going to like that. I'll tell him that I'll be working from home, though.
All I want to do is curl up on the couch and read Outlander. That would make me feel better.
I am in Utah this week. Went to Sundance this weekend and just hanging out with family throughout the week. I met a dude while out on Saturday, but I can't decide if it's something I want to pursue or not. I am planning on having the DTR talk with Vegas when I see him next, so I may not really be in the position of seeing someone else, lol.
I'm half-tempted to try to set him up with mp because he is physically her type moreso than mine...but that would probably be weird.

If you're concerned it would make you feel awkward if you and Vegas do end up together, I wouldn't do it. If not, meh.
But where's he from? I mean I'm down for long distance. haha.
It would be super long distance! He lives in Culver City, lol. PDQ...limited time posting since there are a bunch of people in the shot, lol. (he's the tall bearded dude by me.) *POOF*
Thanks ladies! My doctor removed the stitches and replaced them with stirristrips(sp). He said he believes its a minor infection and it should clear up with a round of antibiotics. I go back in two weeks or sooner if it gets worse. I just want to take my meds and nap. Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers! Thank god I didn't get admitted!

Thank you all! pantsoffdanceoff what are the skin issues? Paco had some really bad ones and the vet finally gave us a shampoo that changed his life. He had been to an allergist and on steroids and all sorts of meds before that.
He is basically prone to staph infections. This is relatively new for him in the last couple years. I have the medicated shampoo from the vet and I am now giving him a bath every other day and I keep him shaved (vet's suggestion) and he just keeps on getting staph infection scabs all over his back. He doesn't usually scratch them, but I think I might invest in a lot of dog shirts to keep the elements away from him.
These dogs! It's amazing what we will do for them. I just took myself for my first physical in forever (still get my annual done every year), but Bo NEVER misses a vet appointment or grooming appointment. I spend probably at least double on his hair than I do my own!
right there with ya in the the things we'll do for our dogs! hope your boy's staph clears up soon! (my heart dog's name was bo - great name!

Life has been so crazy lately that I have posted in weeks!
My house went under contract a few weeks ago! It was only on the market for 72 hours so I feel like I still haven't processed that I'm moving. I move into a rental apartment this weekend then close on the house on February 6th. It's kind of crazy because this house is the last tie I have to my married life. It's a little weird to think that at this time last year I thought I was happily married. It's been a roller coaster of a year but I'm in a great place and happy.
Work has been stressful since my company is not doing so hot. Lots of layoffs last week and more to come. So once I get moved, the next task will be job hunting. Ugh, so not looking forward to that!
I'm excited for next weekend. There's a western trade show and I think bf is going to have me pick out a new pair of boots for an early vday gift.
I had such a fun girls night satirday night. I love meeting new friends!
The bachelor is on tonight! Another girls night!
One of my new gfs is such a catch! Her criteria is so similar to mine it's scary. I really want to set her up with my cousin, the steer wrestler. I feel like she deserves someone great.
I thinky little bro and his crazy gf are on the rocks. I feel badly for my brother but I don't want him to end up with her, ultimately.
I have to take paco to the cardiologist today. I'm super stressed out about what they may find. I didn't sleep at all. Now I'm up trying to get some work done because after a 50 hour week I opted not to work this wekeend. I'm so over the long hours, extreme stress and dealing with doggie. This weekend wasn't relaxing I'm dreading today.

Wrinkling my forehead hurts I put off urgent care in favor of a nap yesterday but now I'm regretting it. Advil isn't even helping much right now. Urgent care here I come I hope I get antibiotics and not sent home with "take sudafed and irrigate your sinuses".

I have realized I need more single friends. It's Monday night and I want to go out and drink wine! But everyone I know is married with kids so drinking on a Monday is not their idea of fun. Boo!

You don't live in Charleston, do you? I'm in the same boat all the time, it seems, haha.
Unfortunately not or I would totally join you for some wine! This whole single thing would have been easier at 25, ha!

Feel better soon!! Sudafed is your friend, but if you are like me, it keeps me awake at night.
Have you ever tried a nettipot (sp)?? those things are amazing for your sinuses!
I just got back from the dr and the pharmacy. I have fluid behind both ears, an infection in one, and a sinus infection. I am out of work until Wed. I guess better now than next week when I am in Dallas and in super jam packed meetings all day.

I have a neti pot but I am so swollen that it's not worth the mess.

I've had an insane couple of weeks - and still in the midst of some craziness ahead.
I'm going to finally start my new position next week and I've had a ton of wrap up with my old job and some last minute fires to deal with. I've been working non stop for the past week.
I did decide this weekend that I am going to get some help picking some new paint colors and some finishing touches. As much as I want to sell my house and get a new place (I'm so happy for and a bit jealous right now WinterIsComing)... I'm a bit concerned about the local job and real estate market. Since the area I want to move will cost more than my house now...I just don't want to rush into increasing my debt right before the local economy tanks. So I'm hopeful that a change in the look helps it feel like a restart- and if I leave it up to me alone I'll never make a decision.
