The end of the road…

Well. Here it is. The week is over. Back to normal again. Work. The real world. I DON’T WANNA GO!

I just wanted to give thanks to all the people, places, and things that made this week possible.

I would not have survived if it weren’t for…

• My iPhone. My access to the outside world. I did everything on this, from Facebooking to playing games. What a wonderful little gadget.
• The Big Bang Theory season 3 on DVD
• Soup, especially my grandpop’s pastine!
• Jell-O
• Straws
• Tumblr
• Instagram (Highly addictive photo app for iPhone)
• Scott Pilgrim Volumes 1&2
• Brad, for taking me out of the house for a day and cuddling and watching Skins with me
• My friends, for coming over and playing Life with me and supporting me all the time
• My family…the best ever. For buying me popsicles and helping me do simple things I normally don’t need help doing and making me laugh and making being stuck in the house the most fun week I’ve had in a long time. This is the part I’ll miss the most.

Yeah…I know, I know. My life didn’t change much. And it won’t change when I go back to the grind. But this ended up being the most amazing vacation for my brain (which is already hopping back into it’s usual schedule of worrying) and body.

I cannot wait to breathe easy again after Tuesday’s check up.

Down Time.

{Flowers from the ‘rents.}

Everything went well! Just a small update. And I received these pretty flowers today from my parents. Yes, I live with them, so the fact that they were delivered is funny…but…they still made my day!

Back to resting, relaxing, lounging, and recuperating.

Night In

It’s strange for me to have a night alone, in the house, doing a whole lot of nothing. I try to stay out of the house as long as possible. And be surrounded by people. Don’t get me wrong, I like my alone time. But I dunno…sometimes your house just ain’t ya home.

Regardless, it was nice to just chill out. I did some extracurricular work for my job, ordered and ate a dozen mild wings from 4th Street Pub (they are delicious, and I’ve been in a wing mood all week), watched Big Bang Theory, and cleaned off my dresser. I have so much work to do in my room (though I’d really just like to move away now). But it’s good to get things done, even if it is little by little…

Here’s an updated picture of my “camily.”

Tomorrow is Friday. That means I have a day and a half left of work before the weekend. Which means a day and a half until Brad’s brother’s wedding reception. And a few short days away from my first ever surgery. I’m nervous beyond words. But, I guess it’s an inevitable fact of life…? And it’s nothing huge. And it’ll be fine. Yeah…fine.

Warning.

I think I’ve failed to mention that I will be spending next week at home, recuperating from sinus surgery. I’m slightly nervous as this is my first ever surgery, I’ve been putting it off for about 2 years, and I’ve never been put under. I have no idea what to expect.

I’m also taking Prednisone (a Steroid striper) to make the procedure a bit easier for myself, but I’m only on day 2 of 12 and…well, it hasn’t been fun thus far. Currently in numb mode. But yesterday, I was crying up a storm. Oh yeah, the side effects include MOODINESS.

I’m definitely not excited for the surgery. But I’ve needed this for a while now, and the benefits will be worth the <60 minutes under, a week off resting, and missing a couple of things along the way (No more Wine Country trip on the 23rd…my heart is more than a little broken, especially since I’ve been wanting to go again since 2 years ago…yeah, I should’ve done this procedure then…). I’m hoping that, aside from resting, I’ll have friendly visits, play some cards, eat comfort foods, and catch up on tons of television shows via Netflix.

And it wouldn’t hurt to do some soul searching and creative endeavors. I’m trying to brainstorm a way to make this blog better…or maybe even starting an entirely new one. We shall see…
