Dear Diary Friday....

Last night was POOPYAAA! I got home with a headache and absolutely exhausted. I had made an appointment to get my car serviced, but ended up cancelling it to go home, as I figured if I sat and waited for my car, chances of me being a "safe" driver getting home would be in the toilet. By the time I got home I was almost asleep and just not feeling "good". I curled up into bed with a magazine at about 4:30 and just tried to relax. I finally got up and watched TV as I could not relax enough to just read. And then the phone rang. Now, let me preface by saying that my nerves have been on edge for about three weeks....just stress, but I am not handling my stress very well right now. Things at work, things with friends, things with family, things involving attorneys, things at home....just all adding up to a whole bunch of tenseness. Then let's top that off with PMS...makes for a pretty volatile situation. So when the phone call came and it was my OVERLY concerned mother wanting to know if I wanted to drive her car into work because mine is "broke"....I lost it. My car is NOT broke! I need to top off the power steering fluid as it is making some "creaking" noises when I turn the steering wheel (hence, getting my car serviced) but she would NOT let it go. I probably said the same sentence of "No Mom. My car is not broke, I just need to put power steering fluid in it and it will be fine" about a dozen times before I finally just flew off the handle. Yep, it got ugly. I proceeded to say something along the lines of, "Mom! Stop it! I have said this twelve times but apparently I need to repeat it just one more time. NO I DO NOT NEED TO BORROW YOUR CAR AS MINE IS NOT BROKEN!" I think it MIGHT have gotten through to her, but at that point, I didn't care. I got off the phone and went and took a WHOLE bunch of sleeping medicine and crawled into bed. Does anyone see WHY I NEED TO GET AWAY FOR A NIGHT NOW???????????? Yep, I plan on drinking the moment I step into a casino and probably stopping either when I puke or when we are driving home....or when Toni kills me because I am being too obnoxious.

Dear Diary Thursday....

My paradise right now would be a night (or day) that I did not have to go an do something! Enough of the bitching...

Last night, I stopped by the vet to pick up some new food for my two oldest cats, Cali and Punkin. I just about shit myself when I picked up the 12 lb bag of food and the vet told me that it would be $46.56. HOLY SHIT! Good thing I love those cats! I then went home and got my folks and headed to the attorney. We were there for an hour and then I finally got to go home and be with Dylan. Unfortunately I have now missed Shane at my house the last two days and he left me gifts....he installed a whole bunch of music on my new computer! YAY!!! Now, when I get a chance, I get to play and listen to a bunch of songs......WOO HOO!!!!!!

Tonight, as of THIS MOMENT IN TIME, I do not have anything of importance to do. I am going to attempt to make an appointment at Saturn to get my car serviced, but if they are booked OH FREAKIN' WELL! I will just have to go home and maybe, just maybe, relax!!

And exciting news....it looks like Dylan and I might be able to get out of town for Sunday night and go to Wendover and relax. AND (this is the part I am most excited about), I might get to hang out with Toni and Rob! WOOO HOO! Toni and Rob have made their reservations, we have made our reservations, we are just seeing if Dylan can get the time off. Fingers crossed!!!

Dear Diary Wednesday....

The neutering of the feral cats is COMPLETE! Boots went in yesterday, we found out that HE is also a HE, and got neutered, a check up, and all his shots. No more worries for my folks! Boots and Speck are now living comfortably in my parent's garage for the next few days until they are fully healed and can go back to roaming my folks backyard. HOPEFULLY they will understand that we are not being mean and will stay with us and not run away....but only time will tell. I think with them getting milk and tunafish that they will want to hang around.....

The weekend is coming it looks like Dylan and I MIGHT be getting away to Wendover for a night....I have my fingers crossed, but it will all depend on a new system that is at Dylan's work that they have to request their PTO through. Not the most "user friendly" system, so we will see how it goes. And if we don't go, there will always be other weekends and things happen for a reason. Regardless of what Toni says....

Oh, and I made the most interesting discovery this morning....do not, ABSOLUTELY DO NOT, eat cottage cheese and then take a big swig of diet coke. There is a horrible chemical reaction when you swallow the diet coke and it hits the cottage cheese that basically looks like you have become a rabid dog. And no, I am not kidding...

Dear Diary Tuesday...

Well, one down, one to go!! We got one of the two little "strays" fixed yesterday....Speck is a BOY! As we were picking him up, the other one, "Boots" went into the cat trap so she/he will be going in today to get fixed....WOO HOO! I can't even begin to tell you how big of a relief this is that they both will be fixed AND have shots. My parent's are sooooooo happy to have this off their plate.

Dylan and I are working towards having a night away for ourselves....just so we can spend some time together and relax. Not sure when we are going to find the time, but we are working on it!!! It will just be nice to be away from home for the day, relax, and have some real quality time together.

Dear Diary Monday....

Weekend was good, yet irritating.....

Friday I got out of work late so Dylan and I just had dinner and got Duffy from the vet. Saturday we got up early, went to Weight Watchers, had breakfast and then hit Wal-Mart, two Petsmarts, and Costco before I got home and took my parent's to their luncheon with their friends. Then got home and Dylan and I grabbed some soup and watched movies. Sunday was the irritating day. I spent the day doing NOTHING. I put dinner in the crockpot, cleaned the litter boxes, and relaxed...and my Mom couldn't STAND IT! She called me at least three times and for absolutely NO REASON. I think my parent's forget every once in awhile that I am HUMAN and need some time to relax and get my energy back. Needless to say, with all her calling I really didn't get a chance to unwind as much as I wanted to. And then couple that with the fact that Duffy didn't handle the anesthesia as well as I hoped and so we were worried about him all weekend. I think what it comes down to is I need to REALLY remove stressors from my life so that I can handle other stress factors. One of the things that would have helped, if I had had the time, was getting together with good friends and laughing......I am hoping that Toni and I can arrange some time this coming weekend to do that.

Speaking of Toni, I am sooooo excited that she has got such a great doctor. And the best thing about this doctor....he loves that she is a MYSTERY and wanted to find out the answer! WOOO HOOO!!! However, it will be entertaining to get her through the side-effects of the steroid.....watch out P5ers!!!

And still, my love and energy with Chet, Shane, and the families. You are still in my heart and my prayers.....
