This time it’s for real

Felt good today- woke up and I was actually AWAKE- not the zombie I normally am.

Let me tell you about how my days used to be: I used to wake up with hubby in the morning at 5:30 am and then get ready and when we’d leave at 6 am I’d basically fall asleep in the car while hubby drove then wake up at work, then be tired most of the day and move around at the pace of a slug- around lunchtime I’d be okay but after lunch again I’d be down. Then on the way home the same thing- hubby would pick me up and I’d be falling asleep on the way home. I’d get home- put my stuff down then hit the couch and LIE THERE for half an hour. After half an hour I’d get up and make dinner, eat dinner, and then lie around, watch TV and spend time with my bird till around 9 pm and then go to bed around 10. Then the cycle would start over.

Now I get up and I’m up! I get dressed, I’m wide awake- I talk with hubby on the way up, then get my work done, no more coma’s after lunch, and then am wide awake on the way home also. I now take care of things when I get home like errands or some cleaning or a load of laundry- it’s great!

Yesterday after work went to pick up the prescription from my doctor- she had me sitting there for half an hour waiting! I was getting very angry but I refused to say a word cuz I felt she was doing it on purpose. Only when I said to her receptionist “oh would it be better if I came by tomorrow?” did she finally give it to me… BUT of course like a good doctor she said “oh I haven’t done the pre-authorization so it’ll probably take a week for you to get it…” I just looked at her and was like that’s fine- just call me when I can send in the prescription… LITTLE does she know my husband’s neurologist gave my husband two weeks worth of the one’s I take because he didn’t want my husband to run out in the meantime. My husband’s neurologist filled out the request last week so my husband will most likely get his before I get mine. SO HA! TAKE THAT! I WIN!

Anyways- last night I had a ton of errands to run so we didn’t eat dinner til after 6- Lana and Ardy and Chad all wanted Spaghetti so that worked for me! Made more whole grain pasta with Ragu- then I also browned some meat cuz I didn’t have meat balls- but I honestly prefer crumbled brown meat on my spaghetti than big old meat balls. It was very yummy

Oh and I just found out that I have next Wednesday day off, but I also took off Friday- so I’m like well maybe I should take of Thursday also and just have a long weekend? I’ll ask my boss if that’s cool- I’m sure he won’t mind. I can use those days to get things in order before my mom gets back and also to get an oil change for my car, get my eyebrows done on Thursday and a haircut also.

I still haven’t booked the hotel- I told hubby that as nice as it is that they want to do something the next day we just don’t have time- so we’ll be staying at a cheaper hotel (saving at least $30) and not be joining them for brunch the next morning. We’ll get up and the hotel I found charges $10 to include breakfast the next morning so we’ll eat there then go home.

Today after work I have to go to the bank and the pharmacy to get my prescription, then I’m going to figure out what to make for dinner and get some other chores done before Biggest Loser comes on.

Anyways- I have a lot to take care of today- so I’ll say goodbye for now- have a great day everyone!
