I guess it was that kind of day...

My mood was a little better today. Not sure where it's coming from, but I'll take it.

DH had a bad day at work today so he brought home some mint chocolate chip ice cream -- his favorite. I decide to have a little bit, and as I'm scooping some out (with a spoon, mind you. I'm too lazy to get the actual scoop), I fling a baseball size chunk of Mike's precious ice cream across the kitchen. Oh boy. Luckily for me he had already vacated the kitchen.

I mention the ice cream because I think I have mostly lost my taste for it. In the past, and especially while pregnant, I ate ice cream all the time. Now it sounds good, but once I get it in the bowl in front of me, I don't really want it. I had a tiny bit and dumped the rest down the drain. I have a horrible sweet tooth, and there is not much in the way of dessert that I'll turn down, but I guess ice cream is the first!

To top off my afternoon shenanigans, I woke up at 3:30 am to take a dump. How annoying is THAT? Now I'm wide awake, so I'm catching up on some TV and the blogs.

Two more days till the weekend.

This stuff only happens to me...

Just a short story for you before I go pick up the kidlets:

Today I went to the doctor because I have a bladder infection, and I need it taken care of before the surgery next Wednesday. I'm standing outside the bathroom waiting for another patient to come out. As he exits, he ... wait for it ... DROPS his pee sample and it SHATTERS! UM... SPLASHING me with PEE. GROSS!!@#^$&^%@#!

Okay. It was seriously disgusting. Luckily, I was still wearing my scrubs. I could tell the guy felt really bad, so I put on my professional face and told him, "Don't worry, I get splashed with much worse at work." Which isn't entirely true, as I mostly just come in contact with people's sweat and the occasional blood -- but usually with the proper precautions in place (gloves, mask, etc). Pee? Not so much. And all over my hand? Rarely. Ugh.

I could go on, but I need to go get my antibiotics!

OMG

I can't believe I haven't posted since Friday. *sigh*

I've been down in the dumps this week. Work is annoying, I've been arguing with our bank over some ridiculous overdraft charges, and I'm f-ing HUNGRY.

This too shall pass. At least I keep telling myself that. I don't even want to tell you most of what I'm irritated about because I'm pretty sure everyone around me is sick of my complaining, so why would you all want to hear it? I'm pretty sick of myself right now. Thank God for my hubster -- he is good at giving pep talks and helping me gain a different perspective on things. It helps.

That's all I've got for now. Hope everyone else is having a better week!

BYOC and what I ate

Happy Friday, friends! Two days later and my teeth are still sore from the great cavity filling of 2010. Yesterday I bit into a sandwich at lunch and thought I might actually pass out from the pain. Horrid. It's better today because I mostly remembered to chew on the other side of my mouth. Speaking of chewing...

Food for the day:
B: Iced coffee with splenda, chocolate apricot bar
L: one slice of cheese pizza with bruschetta on top.
S: Root beer (I know, I know)
D: 4 pita chips with 1/4 cup cucumber yogurt sauce, 1 piece of baked kibbee.

An improvement, but not great. I need more fruits and veggies.

On to BYOC!

1.  Love or money?  High salary or job satisfaction?

Love. Most definitely. Job satisfaction by far, though a nice balance would be good. I'm not there yet-- I haven't quite found my niche.

2.  What is your favorite time of day?




I love early morning. Yes, I am one of those annoying morning people. I love sitting on the porch when there is no loud traffic with a cup of tea and a book. Birds chirping, the sun not too hot yet, the whole day stretching out ahead of you. Love it.

3.  My in-laws just had their wills done so it made me wonder this.  Do you have a will?  Did you tell anyone your wish to be kept alive or not?

We don't have one yet, but I have been trying to convince the hubs that we need one. I'm most concerned about setting up guardianship for our kids should something happen to both of us. And I'll probably set up my Advance Directives before my gall bladder surgery.

4.  Repeat question.  Pick one thing for one day you'll do next week that aids in your physical or mental health.


My goal from last week was to go to bed earlier, and that went really well. I am much more rested this week, which is good since I have been really stressed. This week my goal will be for Monday when I will drink ONLY water and unsweetened tea. No juice, no coffee, no sugary drinks of any kind.

5.  Repeat questions.  Make someone a superstar for a moment...whose comment or blog stuck with you this week and why.

Can I pick one from today? I loved kagead's Questions, Rants, and Raves.

I also liked Janice's First Fill. The pics were great.

Accountability

I am struggling with this unfill. I am using it as an excuse to eat like a pig at lunch (really all the time). In the interest of keeping myself honest, I vow to report every morsel of food and drink that enters my mouth until gall bladder surgery.

Today...
B: Iced Grande Caramel Macchiato (see, I told you it was bad), Dannon Coffee yogurt (as if I needed more coffee after the Starbucks)
L: turkey, provolone, and arugula on foccacia with spicy mayo (I am addicted to this sandwich from the cafe at work and have eaten it no less than THREE times this week. Lord, help me.)
S: 1/2 piece of orange cream cake that a coworker shared with me.
D: Limeaid chiller from Taco Bell (I had a coupon for a free one. Shoot me.) And 6 tortilla chips with some cheese melted on them.

At least I managed to get in about 50oz of water on top of my other horrible beverage choices. No gym either because I had to use my precious post-work, pre-daycare pickup time buying new pillows because one of my cats decided to pee on the current ones. Cats can be such arseholes.
