Day 83 – The Day Nickel Helped Unpack Amazon Packages

Nickel is always getting into stuff that he shouldn’t.  I mean I guess that is just his breed.  He always like when I open packages, I think he thinks they are always for him.  I at least give him the boxes – no harm in that :)

I am going to take my mom to her meeting tonight so I am gonna have to wait a long time to take my meds – they put me to sleep pretty well.  I wish I had something to do in the hour that she is going to be there but I just don’t.

I had a good day at work and I got to talk to a good friend today so that made me happy.

I am now eating me some ice cream and then going to get food after I drop my mom off :)

I asked my two coworkers if they wanted to participate in the picture a day and they said yes!  So we will see how this goes :)

Now I am going to watch some YouTube and then just chill :)

Day 82 – The Day of the Nap

Today I felt so bad that I came home early from work and slept for most of the afternoon.  I am getting so worn out from not being able to sleep to sleeping and being tired all the time to having all the feels and then no feels.  I did good in the afternoon with the doggies and then not so good when it came to bed time.  I just got done taking them out and playing tennis for a while.  They need it EVERYDAY!!!!  We had leftovers for dinner and it was good.

My mom fell in the kitchen tonight.  She didn’t call out for me, but I heard it and came out.  She was almost crying then she said – Diana, someone has my ice cream!  So her number one priority is ice cream and then herself.  The ice cream was fine by the way, mom on the other hand was a bit banged up.  Hurt knee, scraped up toes and also a bad scrape on her arm.  She tripped on the dog.  She needs to be more careful :)

Alright, I am going to go to bed – Goodnight :)

Day 81 – The Day of Frozen

It was so stinking cold today!!!  What happened?  It went from like 80 yesterday to like 44 today.  I don’t get it :)  I had a good demo this morning for work and the whole day was actually busy, so many phone calls.  I did take my coworker out to lunch cause he holds down the fort so well.  We went to a burger place and I had a veggie burger – it was pretty good.

I walked with my other coworker this afternoon, didn’t go very far, but something is better than nothing :)

I forgot to take my meds this morning and boy could I tell today.  I was very fidgety and I didn’t like it at all!!  I also forgot my laptop this morning so I was going to try to edit my video a little bit at lunch, but that went out the window, it was all good though cause we did need the break :)

I am actually getting very excited for April to start so that I can take my pictures per day and just the other day I was dreading it!!!!

Now that I have all my new plugins I really need to finish more of my reviews, recipes, and book reviews.  I get so excited when things start coming together like this.  I feel like I have not had good blogs lately, but I promise it will get better :)

Oh, I may be going to Chicago area in April and that is something I love :)

Alright, all done for today – goodnight :)

Day 80 – The Day of the Website Overhaul

Today I spent all morning doing laundry, my bedding, and this afternoon/evening I have been doing my real laundry.  Now all in between that I have been adding plugins to my website.  I got one for book reviews, one for recipes, and one for product reviews.  I need to still look for one for movies and then I will have pretty nicely formatted articles or posts for those.  The only bad thing about the recipe one is that it will not publish to twitter / facebook like the other ones.  I have yet to try the product review though.  And I just got the book review tool do the movies too :)

Got so much done today on this I feel pretty good about it.  I am a bit tired of sitting in this chair, but just another day of work :)

Trying to figure out what’s for dinner.  May have to go get something, we are really running low on some of the “easy” stuff.  Next weekend I guess I will make some chicken or something because my dad has been asking for cornbread and mac and cheese for like weeks now!  Egg sandwiches, that was what was for dinner.

Alright, I am going to call it quits for today

Nickel bit me while we were playing tennis.  DIdn't mean to, but still hurts.

Day 79 – The Day That Was Lazy

I did not feel good this morning and have just not had any real motivation to do anything today.  I wanted to hang a couple things, but I am not sure if I will.  I would rather lay down and take a nap :)

Paul helped set my mini up so that I can get to my network drives and stuff so that was great and also I messed with a couple of the pages on the site as well.  Really wanna do that picture a day challenge, if you will.  I want to start in April – why, April, just cause :)

Alright, gonna lay down and see what happens 😉

Well, that didn’t go as planned.  I laid down, but never did go to sleep.  The dogs were being very upset because they didn’t really get to play.  So I got up and played with them and Nickel got a little too excited and bit the crap out of my arm.  Now I am up and hurting and mom just got home so that will be good.  They need to calm down just a little bit before I let them out of my room to see her though.  I think I might let one out at a time.

OK, I made a schedule of things to take pictures of for April.  This was hard.  I am not sure when I will get to the other months…  I think I will add this to the page and remove the memo as I upload the image.  Here is the page: A Picture A Day

Day 78 – The Crazier Dog Day

My mom left today to go to an assembly tomorrow and that left my dad at home alone with the puppies.  Well, he had someone come over to take some stuff away and so instead of trying to deal with the dogs he just left them in the house.  They didn’t like it.

I was so tired that I started to lay down at around 17:30.  I also realized yesterday that all last week I was basically taking almost double of one of my medications.  I didn’t realize I got a larger dose and was taking them both – awesome!  I was a bit emotional this week and I think that may have had something to do with it.

Alright, not feeling great so I am gonna end this and do better tomorrow :)

So many bags!!

I am so thankful it was just the empty bags and that he doesn't seem to swallow anything, he just likes to "play" with them.

Day 77 – The Crazy Dog Day

Alright, these dogs are not only crazy themselves, but they are making us crazy too.  Nickel got a hold of a pen this evening and got ink all over the place!  Also I got a glimpse of what my mother does with these crazy beasts when it is dinner time.  They think that the food in the bag is treats when it is in the bag, but won’t eat it hardly at all while it is in their bowls.  So when it gets to low in the bin my mom grabs handfuls of the food and puts on the ground and they think it is treats :)  Nickel was being so bad I decided to give him a rawhide and the first thing he does is bury it in the bed.  Just great :)

Well, I have already taken all my medicine for the evening and it all makes me drowsy so Ia m going to head to bed.  I promise to be better at the blogging soon!  I have so much on my mind with what I want to do that I can’t focus enough on actually doing it – hard times :)

Day 76 – The Fence Day

This morning at like 03:30 apparently some drunk person ran through our fence…  I hate that.  We do the work to get it up and keep it up and then someone ruins it.

I got my computers all hooked up to all the monitors, except 1 because I am waiting on the cable.  It isn’t exactly as easy as I thought, but it is working for the most part.

I also got several of my boxes from Home Depot :) Most of it is for the kitchen.  We are gonna replace this crappy bookcase with the crates because I believe it is gonna be much neater.

I was also all set to take my new go pro to the office to share and promptly just left it on my desk – AMAZING :)  So anyway, I will for sure remember it tomorrow.

I was trying very hard to do another picture project.  I wanted to like have a theme for each day or maybe each week or something to kinda make it a challenge to get the pics, otherwise I will take pictures of the dogs all the time and I don’t really wanna do it.  I tried this a couple years ago, just take a picture a day – couldn’t do it.  It got very boring quickly.  Anyway, will work on that.

Paul, Carlos, and I are supposed to go see Biltmore House next month.  I have been really wanting to see it for such a long time and Paul has already seen it.  I am so so so excited.  I am not sure if we will actually make it in April because my sister is getting married the next weekend.  Not sure if it will work out but I should know soon.

Alright, I am gonna open all these boxes and put some stuffs up :)

Day 75 – The Longest TuesDay

I have been home for a little bit now and i am exhausted again.  I just took my new meds so I am paying very close attention to how I feel to make sure that I don’t feel sick again.  I just made me a sandwich yummy yummy!!

Had a bunch of meetings today and now that I am home I got me a package that I was excited for.  I got my GoPro Hero4 and also a new backpack and adapter.  I am very close to being able to hook up all the computers to all the monitors.  Might not sound too important, but it will be more productive.

The dogs were very crazy last night.  The little girl is not sleeping as long as the boy.  She is really wanting to go out and play and of course no one wants to play at like 03:00….

Let me say this – it was 98 degrees in the shade this evening and that is just crazy!

I ordered me some Home Depot stuff and also some Amazon stuff – nothing super amazing, but I always like getting my stuffs.

I am actually about to goto bed again.  At least lay down for a bit.  All the meds I take right now have the warning label about making you drowsy.

Day 74 – The Early Day

I had some new medicine to take today and it made me extremely tired and then I got a bad headache so I am going to go to be early.  We had yummy beanie weenies tonight so I am not sure why I don’t feel well.

I had a good day at work with the slight exception that I lost my work badge along with my company credit card.  I lost it and realized it like maybe 5 minutes later and it was gone.  We passed like 4 people, but it was pretty windy so there is a possibly that it went into the river.  No worries though I cancelled the card and the badge and that’s that.

Not much else to report so I am going to wrap it up.  More tomorrow I promise.
