My husband picked up his new car last night. It's been a little over a week since his accident. I hope, now that things are settled a bit, that life will get back to normal. We have been so busy trying to get things done that it seems nothing was done! Once we get through this week, I think we will be OK. Since my daughter has picture day this week, here is a video with tips on how to survive it:
I am so tired
This has been a very stressful week so far. Unfortunately, nothing seems to be going right for me. And it's only Wednesday! I almost feel like I need a patient monitor to keep an eye on my heart rate and whatnot. I really hope that this week starts to calm down so I can get my life back in order. Maybe I should try to just sleep the rest of it away.
Luck and tarot
Our luck has been off-and-on lately. While we didn't get hit by the flood, my husband did get into a car accident due to the roads being wet and slippery. He didn't get hurt but his car is totaled. Even though that means he has to buy a new car, the rental he has right now is nice. Bad things have been happening but they aren't terrible. (And I'd rather be car shopping than shopping for WholesaleInsurance.net Dental Insurance.) I have about 6 more episodes of the current jdorama I am watching. Ideally, I'd like to have that finished by Monday but I'm not sure our schedule will allow it.
Also, I am selling tarot card readings: http://yumenotarot.livejournal.com/4113.html Please take advantage of the sale!
The flood is over?
The rains have finally ended. My daughter's school was closed on Friday because the buses couldn't get to many of the bus stops in the area. I'm very glad that there was very little rain this weekend and that the water is receding. We can now drive around town with almost no problems. (The only problem left is mud on the road.) It's nice when life is back to normal.
More storm damage
The hurricane has done more damage in the area than I thought. While we still haven't had any problems, there are still about 300 people in my little town without power. When I went to lunch yesterday, the grocery store had all of the frozen food freezers blocked off and all of the perishable items were gone. McDonald's seemed to be the only eatery unaffected. I'm hoping to finish Boss 2 today. If getting distracted by baby clothes on sale doesn't get in my way first. I don't even have anyone to buy baby clothes for! Man, I am pathetic.
Hurricane Irene
We have survived the hurricane that hit the East Coast this last weekend. Luckily, we did not lose power nor did we sustain any damage. However, I was not able to finish the last episode of Boss 2. I should have it finished in the next few days. (It's a whopping 90 minutes long!) Thank you for your patience.
A new review is coming!
On Monday, you will have a new jdorama review! I have one more episode of the second season of Boss to finish. I haven't decided what I'm going to watch next. I'll happily take suggestions before I get completely distracted by Acura TSX custom floor mats. It's weird...I usually have my jdoramas planned out in advance. Like 2 or 3 shows in advance. Now I have nothing ready. Eep! Panic!
Earthquake!
You might have heard that there was an earthquake on the east coast yesterday. I, unfortunately, did not feel it. I happened to be working in our filing room and I guess the filing cabinets were too heavy to shake. Only my co-workers freaking out gave me any indication that something was happening. I've decided to just be happy that the filing cabinets did not fall on me. That would have been awful.
The Return of the Geek!
I have returned from vacation! Just like last year, I will be posting about the various places my family visited while we were away. (Sorry, no posts about the document management system from Dokmee.net) We spent last week in the Williamsburg, Virginia area. I thought about starting the vacation posts today but I need to catch up on some things first. That means that vacation posts will start bright and early tomorrow morning!
Animals!
I don't think I talked about our new dog. We recently rescued a long-haired dachshund from one of the local shelters. Her name is Tilly and she is the sweetest thing. She follows me everywhere. Unfortunately, her previous owner didn't care for her very well so almost all of her teeth were pulled. That doesn't make her any more lovable though. Her favorite thing is curling up with me on the couch. What other animals do I have? Two dogs: a female sheltie/pomeranian mix named Bella and a female Shiba Inu named Yumi. One cat: a calico named Isis. (Her brother, a black and white named Therin, passed away earlier this year.) Two chinchillas named Orihime and Rukia (note to self: see if industrial bearings will fit in chinchilla wheel. The squeaking is annoying.) And one bird: a green cheek conure named Mochi.
Yes, we have a lot of animals in our house. But they are all well-loved and spoiled to death. Luckily, we can't fit any more in the house!
