The wait

So after work today I was in "go" mode. Considering yesterday I came home exhausted after an awful awful work day. So instead of running I went ahead and took an accidental nap until 7pm. Mind you I go to bed shortly after 8pm, since I get up at 0440. Yesterday was just bad all around. However.....Scott and I managed to get ourselves tickets to see U2 in September!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

So today was make up time for yesterday. Got off work on time (hooray) went tanning, worked out, went to jewelry store, grabbed carry out dinner, ate, and fell asleep AGAIN!!! Grrr apparently I am super tired and can't catch up! Let me back up...did the work out inside today b/c it was chilly and i've decided not to run outdoors when it's cold (more harm than good). SO I did my "couch to 5K" work out on the Eliptical and I think it actually kicked my butt harder. Huh maybe that's why I fell asleep so quickly? Afterwards we went to the jewelry store...our 5 year wedding anniversary is the 16th of this month. I decided about a year ago or so that I'd like another wedding band to close in my set. We did our research and after 3 stores in the mall, found it and it was on sale!!!!!!!!!! It has to be sized b/c i have freakishly tiny fingers, but man am I excited!!!! It's beautiful..so I'll have wedding band, engagement ring, wedding band. It's a beautiful 14K Gold 1ct. channel diamond band. Wahoo!!!!!!!!! Come on Anniversary!!!! After the excitment at the jewelry store (for me anyway) ha ha we decided on carry out for dinner. Pizza and Gyros while watching Ghost Hunters. Wow what a day!!!

Oh and I went on amazon and ordered my FEV1 meter. I'm pretty excited to get this thing and see how it does. I'm hoping that with me starting to run again I'll see some increase in my lung function....*Fingers Crossed*

And the best part of the day is it is Elektra's 11th birthday!!!!!! Happy birthday my girl!!! We love you!!! xoxo

Week Rewind

Yesterday was insane at work. We ended up sending 2 patients to the ER which rarely ever happens. We think one may have had a stroke, and the other was extremely short of breath. I sure hope they are doing better today...This week was also GI Nurses week so we got treated very nicely by the company and Doctors. Got a nice gift, and were treated to several meals this week, including pizza, Chick-Fil-A, Dunkin Donuts, Q-doba, it was awesome and we felt very appreciated (always a good thing)

Dave came over on Thursday night to help us draft out our kitchen. We designed everything through IKEA's website and it looks great!! So now it's just time to do some price comparison, but I'm just so happy all the measurements etc. are done and we can get going with planning!

Went to the hospital last night with Scott and he met Allison for the first time. I just can't get enough of her! Scott looked so cute holding her, she was super tiny in his arms. Needless to say we are a very proud Aunt and Uncle :)

Today is a nice rainy Saturday and I don't mind it one bit. This week has been so insanely busy and hectic and my poor body is sooooo tired. This is a good excuse to chill out and do a lot of nothing! Although I would like to cook today, and I'm making food for Steve and Kathy since they come home with Ally today. Here's to Saturday!! Welcome home to the new family :)

Tuesday is my Monday

Having off yesterday has thrown me off for sure. It's ok though It was totally worth it not to work yesterday. I heard it was a hell-ish day, even if some people won't admit it! ;) Good day at work, the typical Tuesday busy busy.

Came home and worked out. I was a little bit too hard on myself today. I still kept my same mile time but I did have to stop a few times more than last time, Grrr. I probably should have just worked out inside today it was too cold to run, and my chest was burning. Note to self: Check weather before you decide to get all geared up to run, LOL! I came back, lifted weights and did some good situps. I'm just happy that I didn't give up and kept going, no pain no gain right!?

I finally realized at about 7 pm I hadn't eaten dinner yet which is weird b/c I'm always hungry! So I threw together a quick batch of Lemon Chicken, yumm!!!! Catching up on emails with some new CF people that I've met over the last few days. Just keeps getting better!

Tomorrow is G.I. nurses day! We're getting lunch and being taken to Happy Hour at Looney's in Canton, Woo Hoo!!!!!
