10!!!

So, right off the bat, I'm going to talk about how there is only 10 more days till we are on our way home.  I'm getting so impatient and it's putting me in a bad mood.  I just want to come home.  I just want to see our family and friends.  I want to meet little Madison.  Even though I want to come home, I also know that those 2 weeks are going to be crazy busy and go by super fast.  In a way, the anticipation is half the fun.  Probably not half the fun because I'm hoping our trip home will be the best time ever.

My day started out crappy.  Only 2 things happened that made that so, but still, it wasn't a nice way to start a Tuesday.  The first thing was that sweet Kitty decided to use my back as a scratching post, which woke me up.  She also decided to sit on my stomach and sleep right in the wrong spot.  Once the alarm was turned off, we hoped in the shower, ate some breakfast.  That brings me to the second thing that made my morning unpleasant.  After I finished brushing my teeth, I went to turn the tap off.  It was wet and my finger slipped, and my knuckle started bleeding pretty good.  It hurt a lot as there was already a wound there.

I got over that with the help of a hug from Tyler and soon I was at work.  My back was still hurting pretty bad so I asked Tyler to make me an appointment at the doctors office.  And then I went back to work.  Everyone at the office was dragging their feet today.  We all didn't sleep well last night.  I kept waking up every time I moved.  It was a tough long day.

After lunch, I went to my appointment and the doctor said that it was just tight muscles and gave me some muscle relaxing medication.  As usual, the doctor didn't really say much except it could be caused by the cold weather, the fact that I haven't worked out since I got this new job.  That made me really want to start working out again.  I shouldn't be in pain so I'm going to start doing more stuff.  Not sure what that looks like but it will happen.  I just have to make time for it.

I went back to work and soon the day was over.  I walked out of work and Tyler was waiting for me.  We were going to go to the cafe to see if there were any Christmas gift ideas.  After no success, we went to the band store to pick up tiny oranges.  Instead we ran into many other shoppers doing last minute shopping.

We didn't really feel like making a real dinner so we ate some leftover lasagna and sat down to watch the oiler game.  And we've been sitting ever since.  I stretched out my back and stitched, while Tyler played some games.

I'm going to bed pretty quickly as I'm super tired.

The weather was on and off today.  Raining and then not raining.  Not that exciting.

Kitty also is a turkey.  She has this new habit of running and jumping on the coffee table.  She usually slides on all the paper that builds up and it's pretty cute.  She also likes to sit on a little table we have beside our little couch, and usually in the morning, we heard the key bowl hitting the floor along with a bunch of other stuff we have there.  I love that Kitty.

Keep praying for the grand parental unit and the weather.
