We are skipping our music and movement class today, CaRae vomited last night. She seems fine today but as I’ve learned from experience, it’s always a good idea to take it easy the day after a vomit attack. Plus she already put herself down for a nap.
So I will get caught up on all the chores I ignore during the work week, get some shopping done and go running later.
so I went to the eye doctor today, an activity I have come to dread. ugh.
I did find some kick ass new frames that I’m going to LOVE, they are SO me:
but the bad shit far outweighs the cool new specks. Apparently, once your nearsightedness gets so poor, they really can only correct it to point. So, I’m pretty close to that point. eventually I’ll just have horrible central vision even with glasses. also, I apparently have a small cataract. but it’s not impairing my vision (any worse) so no surgery needed. and to top it off, I have to do another damn field vision test because of my RP and crappy peripheral vision.
fuck you eyes! oh and I’ll be needing a touchscreen monitor or a MS surface or some such device soon because I keep losing the goddamn cursor on my screen. so yeah, fuck you eyes!
so I tried my hand (foot? feet?) at running on Tuesday. and ohmygawd, I do believe I’ve found a new obsession. I can’t stop thinking about it, I am planning on when I can do it again, I want to buy a bunch of things so I can do it better. I’m addicted. or at least well on my way. I really can’t wait until it gets warm enough to run outside because then I can just go and run whenever I want or at least almost whenever I want.
RUN!
came up with a new chili recipe today
1 box TJ’s Latin Style Black Bean soup
1/2 box TJ’s Creamy Tomato Soup
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 cans corn
1 can black beans
1lb browned ground beef.
Dump everything into crock pot and cook on low setting 8-10 hours. Season to taste (cumin, salt, pepper and a pinch of TJ’s taco seasoning)
and I’m feeling exactly like I felt yesterday. hmm, I don’t really get into the whole yay, new year, new beginnings. I’m still going to do some shit around the house, feed my kids dinner tonight, sleep and get up and go to work in the morning right? it’s not really a new beginning, i mean really.
I will report that this past year has been fairly decent overall. My finances are in a better place, I’ve got some breathing room going on here and it’s a weird feeling but in a good way. My marriage is well, 9.5 years in and I only wanna kill my hubs half the time hah. The kiddos are being loud and crazy and unreasonable and also super adorable and fun and creative. so yeah, here’s to another 365!
I can’t wait until my week vacation. Two weeks to go. I can make it. The holidays have just about destroyed my body. Still need a massage, maybe over vacation. I thought the wine order last year was going to kill me but the produce order I think will be the one that does me in.
yup, it’s my weekend and that means it’s time to clean oh fun times indeed. think my kids would kill me if I just got rid of all their toys? especially with the stack of presents awaiting opening on Tuesday which will just add to the general clutter, I really feel the urge to purge this house. maybe it’s time for a horders marathon to give me some inspiration.
well, lots of my co-workers are going through some shit. One guy’s best friend committed suicide last week, another woman’s teenage son lost two fingers in an accident yesterday, a woman’s cat is dying, half of the crew is sick and the other half is working hurt. yup, it’s fun times at work. at least we are still laughing and joking and in general having a good time but it’s there, this pervasive gloom under all the laughs.
managing a crew of 75 is like parenting a very large group of children. it’s emotionally tiring.
