Man work this week is sucking big time. Though I took 1/2 day Monday and called in sick on Wednesday (man these allergies are kicking my butt). Ken has this week off cause he's on spring break, but he has to go in to work today.
This weekend is gonna be so awesome. Ken and I are heading to Flagstaff/Sedona for the weekend. I am so looking forward to this. I don't even care that it is St. Patrick's Day on Friday! I don't really drink all that much anymore so I'm not missing out on anything.
I really need a new job .. This seems to be the recurring theme in my posts. I really don't enjoy it at all. It's way too monotonous and I'm not even all that crazy about the people I work with. At least if I actually talked to people it would be different. But I don't have anything in common with the people I work with. Oh well. I've been looking and haven't really been contacted back. Just means that the jobs weren't right for me ..
So I'm debating on whether or not to go to Happy Hour tonight. If I am going away this weekend I really shouldn't so I have the money to spend up there. I think that is a good idea. On my way home I will stop at the grocery store and pick stuff up, that will be so much cheaper.
Maybe when I get home I will attempt to make some deviled eggs. I need to make them before next Wednesday cause we are having a pot-luck lunch that day. I'll make them tonight, see how that goes, and if they turn out well enough then I will make more on Tuesday evening. If not, I will go to the store Tuesday and buy them! haha.
I want to start making dinner home more often, but Ken's oven is broken :( The bottom heating element in the oven (the Baking element? not the broiling element) is broken and we can't seem to find the correct part. We tried using the model number that we found on the oven, but it doesn't seem to be the correct one. So we'll have to get a new one ...
So, at work they are giving us the option to work 4 10-hour days. W00t! I think I'd rather have mondays off. I hate Mondays. But that means I can't take days off unless absolutely necessary, and I will also have to go to bed AND wake up super early. If I get to work at 6am I would still be leaving at 4:30, which makes for a long day, but it's only 2 hours more. And likewise, if I sleep in until 8am, I would have to work till 6:30!!! No way!! So this will have to be a total dedication thing for me. I hope it works out!
Is it so bad to want to be babied when I'm sick? Most people do, I think. For me it's comforting when someone goes out of their way to make me food, or take me to get my medicine, or to cuddle a little more.
I went to the doctor on Wednesday, and it turns out that I just have really bad allergies. And they are going to last until around April ... Yay. I've never had allergies this bad before. Even in NY ... even living here for over 4 years. This is definitely the worst. Either way, my doctor gave me steroids to bring down the inflamation, Flonase for before bed, and over-the-counter Claritin for during the day.
Bleh. I'm all kinds of drugged up. Not to mention one of the side effects of the steroids is change in sleeping patterns. I went to bed last night after midnight and woke up this morning at 4:30 (maybe before). So I decided to lay in bed till 5 and then start getting ready for work. I clocked in at 5:55 this morning. The only thing I am worried about is crashing around noon and just wanting to sleep. But I suppose if that is the case then I can just leave work early or something. I'm sure they will understand (haha yea right!).
But, hey, if I make it through the day I get to leave at 2:30. Woohoo! Then ... I go home and crash lol.
And then tonight going to Dan's (if he cleaned) and having a BBQ with the guys. That should be fun! Except for the whole me being allergic to their cats ... Oh well. We'll see how it goes.
Hopefully it will be a fun yet relaxing weekend.
Ack! Make the sneezes go away!
Well, I'm finally going to the doctor after work today to get something to clear up this nastiness I have. Probably a sinus infection, so hopefully it will go away in a couple days. If not, it means I am really allergic to Ken :( I'd put up with allergies if that were the case!!!
But I'm sure it's not.
So this week is mid-terms to those of you around me still in school. And that means next week is
SPRING
BREAK
Thursday is ladies night, and Friday is beers with the guys. Gonna be a long week.
This was an awesome weekend. Ken didn't work on Saturday (which I love when that happens) so we spent the day together. I was so nice! We did some errands, stuff around the house, and just relaxed most of the day. We WoW'd a lot and we were up until after 1am running an instance. Oh and I was cooking dinner lol. Which I didn't start until like midnight. But then the oven ended up being broken again and so it had to be cooked on broil, which was interesting. I ended up not even eating and just passing out cause I was so tired.
Sunday was gaming. But, of course, breakfast first! (Which is my favorite part of the week)
Gaming was fun. It was our last session and a lot happened.
Check out the final battle here!
Other than that, nothing else happened. Life is good.
Why has it seemed like the past few weeks have just totally dragged. I've felt really tired and more so unmotivated than usual. The days just drags, but of course the free time seems to fly by. I've tried going to bed early so I can wake up early, but it doesn't matter. I still sleep till the last possible mintue. Bleh. I need a vacation. Just a weekend. Maybe in a couple weeks. If Ken doesn't have too much homework (HA ya right).
We've had good times in Flagstaff/Sedona every time we went. It's relaxing to get out of town even for the weekend. My next major vacation isn't until May, about 2.5 months.
I still have an hour left of work.
It sucks cause everyone else in my area gets to work so early (6-7am) and get to leave at like 2:30-3:30. My lazy ass doesn't get into work till 8-sh and so I have to stay till 4:30. A whole HOUR after everyone else. And this is the time that seems to drag. This is why I blog .. or just mess around on the internet. No one is around :) yay! but it is soooo boring.
This is me ... being bored --->
EDIT:
This is me being even more bored -->
Work
So I've been thinking about blogging this for a while now. Basically there are these 2 "things" at work I want to talk about.
Ok, one of the things is my pet peeve about bathroom stalls. In the bathroom there are 8, plus the handicapped stall. Now, when I go into the bathroom, if there are people already in stalls, I will NEVER take one next to someone else unless there are no other open stalls. THe thing I hate the most is when I go in a stall, sit down to do my business (#1 only), someone else walks in and has to go in to the one right next to me ... while there are 8 other stalls (including the handicapped) to choose from! It frustrates me. I don't mind doing my business while other people are in there, but come on! Give a girl SOME sense of privacy.
Number 2 is not a pet peeve, it's just something I have noticed. I sit closest to the door, which is furthest from the breakroom/timeclock and bathroom. So, when I want a snack or to clock in/out or do my business I have a bit of a walk. I'll usually pass a person or 2 on the way to my destination that I actually talk to (I am not social at all at work). Whenever they greet me, they always say my name - "Hi, Stephanie" "Good Morning Steph!" etc. I have this thing where I don't say anyones' name unless I am trying to get their attention. It's not that I don't know these peoples' names, becuase it's easy to remember the names of the few people I do talk to. Is this strange?
It's been a week since my last post. I guess you can say not much has really been happening. Things have been mostly quiet.
Last Thursday I went to happy hour with my sister. It was a lot of fun. We started off at a restaurant and then headed to karaoke. Late night though. I was exhausted the next day.
Didn't do much Friday or Saturday. Though Ken did finally put up my shelves. (thank you baby!!)
Sunday was fun. DnD'd with the guys. Check out what happened here.
Then, the week started over. Same crap different day.
Ken and I went out to Chili's for dinner last night. It was good. Though I had nasty headaches yesterday so I didn't eat much. My stomach wasn't feeling right.
So, it's hump day again. Daily grind .. bleh. I need a vacation. And medicine to get rid of these freakin allergies.
So, yeah.
Wonder when the guys are gonna plan another get-to-gether .. it was fun :)
