Day Twenty-Six: Your Week in Great Detail

Well, it's been a busy week for me, so I'll just get right into it.

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 - Called in sick to work because I was having some nasty stomach issues. It stunk. I basically sat around in my PJ's all day going to the bathroom and eating soup. Not fun. I also watched all of my DVR back-log by noon, so I had to watch regular TV after lunch. Not cool. It reminded me of why I hate commercials so much. MM had a regular work day, so after he came home, we ate dinner; he ate leftovers and I ate some broth. I remained in bed the rest of the night and fell asleep by 8:00 p.m.

Thursday, July 15, 2010 - Called in sick again because I had a ROUGH night. I got up with MM and made myself some breakfast. I also got some laundry done and took a lot of naps. MM was out in the field doing some inspections and then came home. He promptly went out the door and headed to the fishing hole. I was glad he got to get out of the house for a bit and spent the extra evening time getting things straightened up. When he got home I was nestled comfortably in the bed, reading a book and sipping tea.

Friday, July 16, 2010 - I had another rough night, so I got up early and got to the doctor at 7:50 a.m. I was in and out fairly quickly and found out I had a stomach virus. I actually felt great, but was still dealing with the restroom issues, so I stayed home again. I spent the day straightening up the house and organizing some closets. I knew we had a busy day coming on Sat., so I did MM the favor of mowing and weeding the back yard at 4 p.m. He was definitely pleased and appreciated it. After that, we continued to work on the yard and the garden until about 7 p.m. We were STARVING after that, so it was more soup and some grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner. We ended the night by watching tv together. It was nice.

Saturday, July 17, 2010 - We were up and at 'em early. We had to get the house cleaned up because we were expecting company. We spent the ensuing hours cleaning up. Around 12, friends of ours showed up to take the ride up to Ft. Davis with us. We got to our other friend's house at 12:45 and proceeded to load up a small storage shed we bought from him. We headed back home and got the shed on the ground and BBQ'd for the rest of the evening. It was nice to have people over and all the hard work made for a great night's sleep.

Sunday, July 18, 2010 - We didn't stay up late on Saturday, but we sure slept late on Sunday. I finally crawled out of bed around 10:30!! We spent the rest of the day outside. We put new numbers on the house, installed a new post for our mailbox, put in a new, small paved section for potted plants, and leveled and squared the shed and screwed the floor down. It was a loooong, hot day and we rewarded ourselves with dinner from McDonald's. I ended up being excessively bloaty and miserable from the meal, so we decided that McDonald's was out from now on. After dinner, we cleaned up the house and got our stuff together for the work-week. We were exhausted and retired to bed early.

Monday, July 19, 2010 - I headed back to work and was pleasantly surprised to find that there wasn't much for me to do. Sometimes stuff gets stacked up on my desk when I'm gone, so it was nice that it wasn't the case this time. It was an average work day and I headed to Dollar General after work for some toiletries and such. After that, I headed out to the back yard and reworked some garden plots. MM installed the new mailbox on the post and it looks great! After that, I showered because the garden work made me filthy! I cut my hair after my shower and spent an excessive amount of time styling my new "do". We had a quick dinner of sandwiches and salads and went our separate ways to watch tv. It was a nice, quiet evening.

Tuesday, July 20, 2010 - You can learn about my Tuesday here!

Wednesday, July 21, 2010 - I didn't get great sleep last night, so I woke up late and cranky. I did still have time to water the plants and amend the tomato soil with some calcium-enhanced water. I came to work and have been here ever since. MM is out in the field, so I stayed at the office for lunch to do this blog post. I had a yummy Hot Pocket and one M&M cookie. It's been a good day so far, but I'm looking forward to water aerobics tonight and an early bedtime.
