Wednesday

It's Wednesday.

I was born on a Wednesday, or so I'm told.

The hinge on which the rest of the work week swings.

That's what Wednesday is.

Monday and Tuesday are completely different from Thursday and Friday.

And Wednesday is a day all its own.

Today is dragging, I won't lie.

Lots to do, and even more to think about.

Had my interview yesterday.

I think it went well, but I definitely had butterflies!

Justin says his laptop is flipping out and acting all virusy.

That's not sounding like fun. Ick.

I've put a couple pounds back on, according to the bathroom scale.

Whoops.

I am getting over being sick, you know.

Back to Wii Active for me!

And maybe, just maybe, less sweets and fried foods.

Even though I love them so.

(I say this as I sip my water, like a good girl)

I should buy more fruit.

You know what?

I love fruit.

That's what I'll do.

I'll buy some fruit.

More to come...

Not Me! Monday

For my new readers: Not Me! Monday is a blog carnival started by MckMama that allows bloggers everywhere to share their top secret confessions without taking any responsibility. ;) So, without further ado, here's what I have not been up to this week.

Even though I was feeling a lot better yesterday, It did not take everything within me just to do two loads of laundry and one load of dishes. I did not feel a bit overwhelmed by that very small amount of housework. Nope, not me! As I have mentioned before, I am always very on top of our household, and strive to make sure everything is spotless. I would never go, say, a week and a half without vacuuming, even though our Golden Retriever mix is constantly shedding and there is an embarrassing amount of fur on the floors and furniture.

And this morning, I definitely did not brew a cup of coffee to take with me to work, simply out of habit. Being sick did not break me completely of my caffeine addiction, and I would never jump right back on the java bandwagon, congestion and all, simply because this lovely hot beverage is the one thing that helps me survive a crazy Monday morning.

So what about you? What have you not been up to lately? Write a Not Me! Monday post of your own, and go link it up on MckMama's blog for all to see! What are you waiting for?!

On the mend

These are the things I've surrounded myself with the past few days:

Thanks to these things, my darling husband, and the movies and TV shows we have been watching, I think I'm starting to feel better. I am still a little stuffy and woke up with a slightly higher than normal temp this morning, but besides that, all seems well. Even though I seem to be on the mend, I'm going to skip our niece's birthday party today, for fear of spreading this ickiness to her or anyone else.

In other news.. please keep your fingers crossed for me. I am interviewing for a full time, permanent position on Tuesday. Thoughts and prayers are much appreciated. Here's hoping my head isn't full of gunk by then, since right now all my "n"s sound like "d"s.

Also, happy birthday to my sweet baby sister, Callie, who is 19 today! How time flies... :)

More to come!

Thankful Thursday

I called in sick to work today. Woke up to get ready for work, feeling miserable, and took my temp - it was 99.3. Not quite a fever by technical standards, but enough to make my whole body ache. Add to that some coughing, sneezing, stuffy nose and fatigue, and I'm pretty sure I've got a virus.. maybe the flu. But, I bet I can still find something to be thankful for... :)

Today, I am thankful that my husband is home to take care of me while I'm sick, and to let me use him for a pillow as I drift in and out of sleep on the couch. I am thankful for this house we live in that keeps us safe and warm, for the comfy bed I woke up in this morning, and for the layers of clothes that warm and comfort me when I'm not feeling the best. Even on my worst day, I have all these things to be thankful for. Sometimes I forget to look around and take notice, but truly - I am thankful.

Would you like to blog about what you're thankful for today? Go ahead! Write a Thankful Thursday post of your own (don't forget to copy the text below the TT button over there --> and paste it somewhere into your blog entry!) and finally, link it up on the MckLinky below so that others can see what you are thankful for!

I'm tired today.

I woke up with a scratchy throat and newly developed dry cough.

And it hasn't gone away.

Please, God, don't let me get sick.

It's been a long week at work.

And I've had a lot on my mind.

Trying to remind myself not to worry or think too much.

Nothing is wrong, really; don't worry.

Just say a prayer for my sanity, if you would. :)

And my scratchy, cough-y throat.

***

Justin and I have decided to read the Bible all the way through.

Hopefully in one year.

That's the goal.

Even if it takes longer, I would like to have read it in its entirety.

Front to back.

So far, it has been nice to catch up on Genesis.

It's jam-packed full of goodness.

The Earth is born.

Noah builds an ark.

It's been a good refresher.

Post-lunch update:

I went to Taco Bell on break and ate two tacos.

With hot sauce.

They were yummy, and didn't kill my throat.

So I'm thinking this is just sinus drainage.

Sorry, TMI. Right? :)

At least it isn't some kind of infection.

I hope!

My nose is kind of stuffy, too.

Allergies, perhaps?

I wouldn't be surprised.

I look at something and start sneezing.

Oh, well.

Back to my Kleenex and tic-tacs.

(I don't have any cough drops.)

Not Me! Monday

I am certainly not dragging my feet this morning. I definitely didn't sit in my car in the parking lot at work this morning and soak in the last few minutes of the "weekend" before I had to go in.

Over the past weekend, I did not get lots of extra sleep, and I surely didn't stay in my PJs until well into the afternoon two days in a row. Not me! I am always prepared to conquer the day and be productive.

What have you not been up to lately? Write a Not Me! Monday post of your own and go share it at MckMama's blog!

Until next time...
