I Miss My Hour
Not sure why it affects me - I mean it's just an hour - but it really messes me up. I got to bed at my regular time but then when the alarm goes off - it's like, really . . . . it's morning already . . . . I'll just hit snooze once . . . . OK - I can sleep until quarter past - well maybe half past is better - Just one more snooze. I did get out of here at a good time this morning - got to work at 730 - early enough to have some quiet work time but too late to have some work in the dim lights time. I like it before the bright fluorescent lights get turned on - just my desk light - it's very calming and peaceful.
Missed church on Sunday - woke up with a major sinus headache and a cold in my eye. I slept most of the day away. The ward is definitely a family and when a member is missing other members will check up on you. I received two emails making sure I was OK. Nice to know I am missed - if I ever fall and can't get up someone will miss me.
Day 6 of riding the bus - Yay me! I was able to finish a book, Labyrinth by Kat Richardson last week - I have been trying to read this one since Christmas. I started A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness yesterday - so far so good - it moves kinda slow but not so slow that you lose interest - more like slow that makes you want to read it faster so you can get the story moving along. I like having that time to read - and I have now saved $72 by not parking in Seattle!!
Right now I am watching Glee - Love This Show!! I can't say much about what's going on cuz I know a few people who read my blog record Glee and watch it later - let me just say - you will not be disappointed! Lots of hype about New Directions singing Original Songs - which are great - but there is also a side story that "mmphm mubble mphme thmphfm" I put my hands over my mouth and mumbled it so I wouldn't spoil it for you!!
Chrissy is in the process of destroying yet another one of her toys - She has rediscovered her Crinkly Christmas Moose and is working very hard to pull all of the crinkly noise makers out of the ears. She's already pulled the squeakers out of a couple of her toys - she is a one pup destruction crew! Oh - and so like L when she was a toddler too - no sooner do I get all of the toys picked up and put back in the baskets she goes back around and pulls them all out - she doesn't play with them all - she just wants them on the floor spread out every where. And now she is hiding more socks - I have no more matching pairs because she only hides one from each pair. Yes . . . . . I think she does this on purpose . . . . . . . . hoping that maybe I won't leave for work and she can hang out on the couch all day . . . . . . . . Not Gonna Happen!

Friday - It's About Time!
Going on 3 days without having to reboot my wireless router! And I have connection in my bedroom! I think there were 2 reasons I was having issues - Crappy Router and an unsecured network! I think other people were using my Internet which put a load on the router! I now have a better router and my network is secure! Yay me!
Fairly uneventful week - it did seem to drag though - not sure why. I got up early this morning and got into work at 645 - I had forgotten how quiet it is in the office that early - it was nice. Of course, now that I am getting to a point where I can get up that early again it's time to lose an hour! I am thinking I may change my clocks tomorrow so that I get to bed earlier so I can get up for church on Sunday - seeing as getting up at 700 is really going to be getting up at 600 - ugh . . . .
I have had a feeling of anxiety in the back of my head for a few days - you know that feeling that you have forgotten something important. It is making me chew my lip!! I'm gonna have Angelina Jolie lips soon if I don't get this under control. I never noticed I had this nervous tick before - I think it might be new - I think I used to clench my teeth - not sure which is worse. Any readers have a nervous tick?
Oh . . . . so Lent started on Wednesday and I was trying to decide what to give up - thinking it would be Fountain Coke - which I Love!! Then - found out from Jason that we - meaning Mormons - don't observe Lent! Yay - no giving anything up! But - I will try to cut back on the Fountain Coke - in fact - I didn't have any on my way on to work this week until today - and I rode the bus everyday but today - so it was a good week.
No real plans for the weekend yet - my contacts came in so I need to run up to the eye doctor tomorrow to pick them up. I should do some grocery shopping too - I have nervous energy these days - I think I need to bake!! Maybe I will try something new - or something I haven't made in awhile. Oh - and Starbucks stole my idea!! They are now selling Cake Balls on a Stick!! I could have been rich!! That's me - A Day Late and A Dollar Short!
My Sissy is coming to visit in a month! Yay! Very excited and then I thought Oh Crap - Now I need to clean my house! Last year it looked like they were filming an episode of Hoarders and it's not looking that much better. Guess I know what I will be doing for the next few weekends! Unless . . . . . . . Hey C - last year you said you could clean the house and get it organized in a week - wanna extend your vacation and give your little sister a helping hand!!

Mom Credit Card
I am actually sitting in bed and blogging on my Mac!! I finally broke down and went to Best Buy to get a new router hoping it would fix my connectivity problems - I was having to reset the darn thing every time I came home or got up in the morning as well as not being able to connect in my room on the Mac. Well - the new router fixed the problems - the connection is so fast too. The next test will be if I can connect tomorrow night when I get home.
I met L at her work tonight - gave her the check that was in the mail and a package that was delivered for her - she ordered something from Hot Topic. In the past week she has gotten her IRS refund, a paycheck, and 2 unemployment checks. She owes me $150 and told me she couldn’t pay me yet because she had to pay rent. After she tells me this she proceeds to tell me that yesterday she got another tattoo!! How is it she can’t afford to pay me back yet she can afford to go shopping! I know what she’s thinking – why do I want to pay Mom when I’m not going to get anything in return – forgetting that she already got the return when I gave her the money in the first place. Tough thing to learn – credit! I believe she has hit her credit limit on the Mom Card and will not be getting anymore loans from me.
Her new tattoo is kind of cool though – she got a small peacock feather tattooed behind her right ear. A weird spot – but it looks nice – small – good colors.

***Update - my Internet connection went out while I was writing this last night. Had to reset the Internet this morning. I am thinking it might be my DSL Box. Great - that will require a call and an all day wait for Comcast!**

Good Day
Today was a good day! Rode the bus to work - was calm and happy all day - came home and didn't immediately lay down on the couch!!
I credit God with this turn around. Yesterday was Fast Sunday - during my Fast I asked for help coming to terms that there are some things I have no control over and to have the ability to just let them go. When I woke up this morning I just had a sense of peace. I haven't felt like this in quite awhile. I believe that Fasting and Prayer works.

Tone
I can't stop thinking and worrying about something that happened on Friday. I snapped at someone who was just asking a question - wanted to know if I was going to be doing something - but what I heard was Why isn't this done yet. And before I could filter myself I answered back in a snippy voice - I was not very nice. I went back and apologized but I can't stop stressing about it. I so did not mean to do that. Have you ever said anything to someone that either came out wrong or you used a snotty tone - later you regret it?
This person probably has already let it go - I on the other hand am having a tough time doing that. That's me - worry wart!
My motto for this week: Don't worry about the things I have no control over and cannot change - Focus on me and do the best I can.
I will also take deep breaths before answering questions and work on my filter.

Things That Make Me Wonder
I just have one random question to ask.
De
- Why is it that you don't have to pee until you pull into your parking spot at home and then you have to go really really bad?
