Last week Drew was out of town so I had to hold down the fort while he was doing some training for work. I had to wake up earlier than normal to let the dogs out and do their business and get them situated. I called in sick Monday however because I felt like someone punched me all over and I couldn’t seem to get enough sleep. I work Monday through Friday and my school schedule is Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12-1 and 6-8:30. Between classes I workout, eat, study and/or work on my paper. Right now I’m trying to eat less sugar and increase the intensity of my workouts. I run between 3-6 miles per day but with school I’m finding I have less time to get my mileage in. So I’m trying to significantly alter my diet (less sugar, more protein, more fruits and veggies) and increase intensity. So far its working and I’ve noticed a 3 lb. weight loss on the scale. So that’s nice. Back to my week – last week was busy. This paper is getting to me man. I just want to get it DONE. It’s a paper I should have finished 5 years ago but didn’t and they are letting me sit in the class and write the paper. So I’ve been busting my butt to get it done but currently I’m at a bit of a mental roadblock with it. So, that’s where I’m at with that. Paper, want to be done. Tax Accounting – my first test this Thursday and I’m ready to see how I do because the way he words his tests is confusing. On the home front, last week I also redecorated the back two bedrooms. I got the sheets, curtains, and duvet in the mail and went to town. They look so much better. I’ll post pictures later since I don’t have any right now.
Last Wednesday Drew’s Aunt Elizabeth died. He loved her very much and I felt terrible for him. But she’s out of suffering now and I’m glad that she’s now in heaven. He flew home Thursday night (instead of Friday morning) for the funeral. My MIL came in town for the funeral and afterwards we went to dinner at Sidelines and met my Dad there for some wings and beer.
Saturday Drew and I went to a thrift store and I finally found my sewing machine! He cleaned it up for me and fixed the bobbin and now it’s as good as new. We had lunch (shrimp salads at Oyster Barn…mmmmm!), an antique shop where my grandmother has some of her items and then to NAS to the museum. I really enjoyed the new displays they have, especially the Bob Hope display. After that we went to Mama Sue’s house to get an antique chair she gave me…it was my great grandmother’s (Mama Ruby) and it’s probably 50+ years old!
Yesterday we skipped church (bad!) and were lazy for a while but then I got my butt moving and went grocery shopping, cleaned the house, made Pioneer Woman’s beef stew , played with my sewing machine and studied until late last night. Drew mowed the lawn and organized some stuff in his shop. It was a fun, productive weekend.
