I haven’t done a list post in some time and with all the transition going on, I have a lot to talk about – so let’s get this party started, shall we?
- The kid went to Texas, rather unexpectedly, last Saturday. He came home yesterday. I sure enjoyed being ‘childless’ for a week. It’s a break we don’t get to often with family being so far away.
- My stepmom is having surgery next week. She is having a kidney removed because they found cancer in it. I’m really hoping everything goes well. It’d be great if you could keep her in your thoughts too
- It’s been super humid here in the Phoenix area for the last three days. My hair isn’t made for this, but it certainly has made for some interesting weather.
- I really hate taking Prednisone – I hate what it does to my face/skin at non-therapeutic levels.
- The cat bite from last week is doing really well. In fact, I am typing using all of my fingers, which is awesome, because Thursday-Saturday was super hard. I can’t bend the knuckle all the way, but I do have use of it – and the redness/inflammation that is indicative of infection has almost totally gone away.
- I think I’m going to wear jeans today. It’s supposed to be a cool 100 degrees – but I got some new jeans I want to ‘test drive’.
- We cleaned out the kids room this weekend while he was gone. It was a mess. I like doing that about once a year – it gives me a chance to get rid of a bunch of junk, since he’s a collector.
- When cleaning, we actually found a book on ‘collecting’ and both laughed.
- I am super anxious about starting my new job. It’s kind of like the first day at a new school, only for grownups.
- The rain has caused our house to make some interesting noises. The noise I just heard sounded pretty ominous – like cracking/breaking cement. Man would that suck.
- The cat that bit me is back in front of my house this morning (I just saw him/her) – which means, the owners elected to go pick him/her up from the animal control place then bring him/her home and let him/her wander around outside some more.
- It also means they have decided not to call me regarding the bite. I’m sure that’s because they assume I’ll sue or something – which I won’t, since my finger didn’t fall off or anything like that.
- I wonder if I should call animal control again? Not a big fan of having the crazy biting cat hanging out in my front yard (oh wait, never mind, she’s in my back yard now…awesome).
- I think the kid and I are going to go to Sunsplash on Friday. Maybe. Ugh. Bathing suit.
- Medical update: Feeling pretty good – I think a lot of that is due to the reduction in stress though. Seeing a light at the end of the tunnel and knowing it’s not a fast moving train really does make a difference.
That’s all I got for now folks. I’m hanging in there – hoping the next two weeks go smooth and fast.
