I Hate Weekends

They're all older than this but bitching sounds the same, no matter what age.  I could never be a Buddist, even if I wanted to.  I cant get 5 minutes of peace or quiet.  See! Now they got me doing it!

School is okay.  I'm trying to get ahead in Religion and History so that I'm not squirming every weekend to keep up.  Soooooo much info to remember in History, I'm only doing from the 1500's to the second world war but damn, dates alone are gonna kill me. 

I got my insurance approval for the surgery and will start doing the pre-surgery stuff in a couple of weeks.  I'm not going to have the operation until this summer, that way it wont interfere with school.

Anyway, I gotta run. Dishes to wash.

School Daze

Well, I'm coming to the end of my first week of school.  So far I'm liking all my classes.  I think Religion will be myy hardest class. We have a long paper to write on an obscure book about Buddha. Bio will be easy. History will be alot of work but no problem. Math is easy so far.

Anyway, Mom left a few days ago but says she'll be back in 2 weeks. Thats about it.

Thursday

I'm so tired.  I shouldnt be tired, I should be rested, yes?  Way too much home improvement for me.  It seems to be the focus of every damn day.  I'm even out of money and we keep doing projects. I just wanted to take a day and do NOTHING. Seriously, I had some things ( cleaning my bathroom, doing some chores, napping) that I wanted to do. I felt GUILTY because I wasnt flagellating around the house, working on every project at once. Cmon, I start school on Monday, I think I deserve one day of just doing nothing.

I had an appointment yesterday. I'm considering Gastric Bypass.  I would have preferred LapBand but my insurance wont cover it. So, I'm almost 40 and my BMI is 42. Not good. I'm at risk for diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and many other fun secondary diseases because of my obesity. Gastric bypass will stop my constant hunger and give me a chance to live out the rest of my life at a normal size. I'm still scared. And I havent committed to it yet. We'll see.

The weather has been in the 40's and 50's lately. This Sat and Sun it will be back up into the 70's.

Thats about it.

 

Countdown To Class

Howdy!

I know, its been awhile.  I shit you not when I say I've been really busy. I wanted to try and write another book over the holiday....nope.  I wanted to get some reading done....nope.  I wanted to get a jumpstart on my upcoming classes by looking over the texts.....uh.....nope. BUT, I have managed to get all three bedrooms painted.  Managed to get new curtains up and some more decor put into place.  Overall its been days of trying to watch kids while getting shit done.  They went back to school last week but Sydneys school has sewage issues so she ended up staying home 2 of the 3 days last week.  I'm hoping this wont be an issue this week because Joe is having his skin cancer surgery tomorrow and Wednesday and I have to be available to drive him. Ugh.  I also have my own doctor thing going on Wednesday and dentist on Friday.....I told you I was busy.

Mom has decided to leave on the 15th but wants to come back because our weather is so nice.  She didnt plan to stay more than a few weeks and its been over a month I think. So she'll drive back and take care of some stuff and drive back down in a few weeks I guess.

Joe recently went through a bad patch ( mid-life crisis anyone?) and seems to be feeling better the past week.  He is happy that the house is taking shape and even suggested that we STAY here and NOT sell. (picture me staring at him in disbelief) and then screaming NO.  After all he put he through we are not staying here. For many of my own reasons I will not live in the country again. It will go on the market in April.

We're going out to pick up paint for the kitchen tonight.  That will leave the living room and hallway the only rooms not painted.  I'm scared of that vaulted ceiling and we may leave it white. Dunno.

Ok, well, gotta run. Hope you had a great New Years. We shot off some fireworks at about 8pm and everyone was in bed by 10pm. I stayed up to watch the ball drop. No surprises there.

Tata!
