Happiness Despite my Issues

I’m still sick. Last night my teeth hurt so bad that I felt like they were being ripped out of my gums by a mean invisible person.

The whole right side of my face feels like it is going to explode so I forced myself to visit the doctor today to get taken care of.

I have a sinus infection on top of incredibly aggravated allergies (yes it’s March and has been snowing and the green stuff hasn’t even started growing, this summer is going to be rough on my allergies). I got antibiotics and a new nasal allergy sale.

As my new doctor was taking my medical history she was surprised by the nasty bout I had with pertussis a few years ago – yeah that’s the whooping cough. Miserable couple of months. That was when she decided I needed a new tetanus shot. So I got one of those. (you’re immunized against pertussis with that shot).

I begrudgingly forced myself into work for the rest of the day. When I called my boss she told me to take the rest of the day off, “That’s what your PDO’s are for.”

I wanted to shout, “No, those are for my vacations.” But instead I said I know. See at the corporate offices you only get eight personal days a year and you don’t start accruing vacation for six months. Meaning – all my vacation days need to come from my PDO’s.

So my teeth still feel like they’re trying the rip themselves away from my gums, and my left arms is starting to feel incredibly uncomfortable because of the tetanus shot and I’m sitting at work.

I went out and got this little treat for myself and all I have to say is that a large diet coke with light ice is heavenly on a day like today – plus McDonalds is now sporting the styrofoam cups for the large drinks! I know that it’s worse for the environment but it keeps your drink cooler for longer and I’m a fan of that.

Feels Like Summer Outside.

It’s a beautiful day!!!

I’m so excited for summer, I cannot begin to describe the longing in my heart for summer weather!

Sorry for the lack of posting recently but between the moving adjustments and a nasty case of the sniffles, that really did keep me down for a few days, I just haven’t had the time or the energy to blog.

But here I am, back at it.

Just a few thoughts for you:

I’m getting bangs on Thursday and I cannot wait. It’s a gamble as to how this hairstyle will look on my face but I’m bored with my hair and I think it’s better than chopping it all off.

Duke made it to the final four! The team I picked to win it all is the only final four team I got right.

I’m going to start an MBA program ASAP! I feel like I’m not progressing right now and I’m going stir crazy. I was planning on waiting for a year or two but I figure the sooner I get it the better. I don’t want to let go of my job right now so I will do a professional MBA program, hopefully with an emphasis in marketing. I’ve narrowed down the programs and I’ll let you know what happens….

I love change!

Mother Nature - You Mean Temptress

It's about to snow a foot tonight. It snowed about half of that on Friday, in blizzard form. Then on Saturday it was 60 degrees out.

Yesterday was almost 70, today it's supposed to snow.

I really want this:

Instead I'm hoping for so much snow that we get a snow day from work (I feel like a little kid wishing for a day off of school).

Ha Ha Ha

I was looking at seriously so blessed and the song that played on the Web site was Party in the USA by Miley Cryus, it remined me of this awesome parody that I heard when I was in Miami for my old job.

I wanted to share this with you all in honor of my favorite Cuban player, Kendry Morales, who defectred from Cuba after 10 unsuccessfull attempts. Also, this goes out to my favorite half-Cuban Rachel.

Pure Exhaustion

This move is much more exhausting than I imagined it could be.

Every night when I have fallen asleep I feel like a few seconds pass by and then I'm awake, and it is not fun. I'm so tired that I almost tried to take a nap, but I didn't have enough time before the BYU game last night.

This brings me to my next topic, DirecTV. We have it now and it is awesome. Janessa got a great TV with her tax returns and all of the HD channels look amazing. Not only did we get the Hd package, but we have the MLB network.

I am literally sitting here watching the DVR recording of 30 Clubs in 30 Days about the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. I'm just loving it!

Last year we had the MLB Network four about a week and I was obsessed with 30 Clubs in 30 Days. It's awesome. They visit all 30 baseball clubs in spring training. not only do they break down the talent of the teams but you see an entertaining portrayal of the coaches and the players.

The Angels' Spring Training has been going well and I'm excited for opening day. I was a little nervous with Lackey going to the Red Sox (it is painful to say that because of how much I dislike the Red Sox and how good Lackey is).

A lot of statisticians have said that the Angels aren't going to be as good this year as they have been in the past and the Rangers are going to give them some trouble in the division, but I still think there is an expectation of winning in the clubhouse and they will find a way.

Matsui is with the Angels now and I love reading this blog because some of the writers will make comments about the Japanese media that follow him around, it's a bit entertaining.
