Focus

So I cannot focus. I was in a car accident because I can't focus. My car is a mess inside and out. Paperwork is late. Chaos has ensued.  I am way off track with my diet and exercise and my relationship with my husband is strained because I am all over the place. I know what I need to do. But I can't bring myself to focus and consistently do it. I am amazed I haven't dropped a patient or something. But then I remembered the car accident. Sigh. See - I can't even buckle down long enough to make a coherent post.

Happy Anniversary!

So Feb is gong very well as far as my personal life is concerned. We are all in. His words not mine. I felt like we had been drifting and this month so far I fell like we are drifting back together, instead of apart. So V-day also happens to be our wedding anniversary. My husbands attempt to garner long missed gifts for Valentine's day and also ensure my remembrance of our wedding date. Just to clarify - he is the memory of our relationship. He remembers all the firsts and randomness like first song, what I was wearing when we first met, etc. I remember he was hot and had on clothing. Details escape me. So we decided to go out a bit. Friday night we went to a concert. Tribute Wars - all tribute bands. It was very interesting. We saw an all girl tribute to Metallica, an all girl tribute to David Bowie, and my fav of the night, a metal tribute to the BeeGees. Then on day of we sent all day playing video games and sleeping. Yes I actually played video games for my husband. And not rock band or Guitar hero. Like streets of rage and other old school classics. And we went out to dinner at Legal seafood - which was amazing as always. And we lit our candle. Our wedding candle to symbolize our union. Here's to a great 3rd year together.

Pet People

So I get it now. My hubby and I adopted a cat from a friend and know I realize that she has adopted us. Yup. On a lazy Sunday morning my husband and I find ourselves loathing to move because we don't want to wake up the cat. Can you believe it! We plan our outings based on when we can get back to feed the cat. When she purrs, we listen. So I used to wonder how people could get so involved with thier pets. I mean, its just an animal, right?! Wrong. My lovely cat Sundae has taught me that animas have feelings too. And personality. And all the things that remind you of people. Just without the back talk. So I come home from work and I love that my cat is waiting at the door for me. And my husband and I take joy in playing with her. And although we hate the cat hair all over the bed spread, we both love it when she curls up next to or on top of us when its time to go to bed. Sundae has turned me into a cat person. Sigh.

Parking Lot Problems

So I actually managed to get up and go to the gym this morning. I decide to stop at Wawa on the way home for a cup of coffee. The parking lot is packed par usual this time of morning. The guy in a truck in front of me is taking his sweet time trying to find a parking space. So of course I was surprised when he drove past a van about to pull out. I checked to see if he was going to put on his turn signals. When he didn't, I put on mine and jumped in the parking space once the van left. Then the first guy calls out his window to me saying he was going to take that spot. WTF! Where were your turn signals then buddy?! So whatever, I keep it moving to get my morning fix. This guy then comes and finds me in the Wawa and says "If it was back in my pimp days I would have slapped the sit outta you." I mean really. You had to come and find me in a crowded store to tell me what you should have would have done back in the day, and over a parking space. And people wonder why a black man can't get ahead. Becuase of dumbness like that. Get a life and use your turn signals. I have had it happen to me without having to hunt the person down and threaten them in public. Geez.

High school reunion

So we went. The food was good. There were people from all different classes there so there were a lot of people that I didn't know, but the class of 2000 showed up. Everyone kinda looked the same. I got some compliments about me and the hubby which was nice. And no one noticed I looked any different except for the hair. Bueno!

Thanksgiving aftermath

I feel lousy. So yesterday my hubby and I got ambitious and walked just shy of 6 miles to see a movie. We made pretty good time getting there. And it was only $5 a pop because it was a holiday and before noon. We saw Quantum of Solice. It was good but it was more like a jason bourne flick than a james bond flick. But it was still good. So then we hoofed it back home and both of us were hurting by then. Then we headed to my mom's house for dinner. She put her foot it in. Turkey, ham, stuffing and gravy, mac and cheese, greens, yams, asparagus, and cranberry sauce. I had two plates. Which was not a good idea on many levels. I tummy has been in knots ever since. I woke up this morning feeling 10 pounds heavier and like I got hit with a truck. We have enough left overs to last at least 2 weeks. And to think, my class reunion is in a couple of days. I hope I recover by then.

Silver Lining

So today was not a good day. It starts with me rushing to get the drapes down before the window installers come. I am greeted with the sound of urgent voice mails proclaiming all my patients are in the hospital. And one who was already in lost her toes and had a stroke. So I am late for person number one and I spend way too much time there so of course I am late for person number two. In my infinite wisdom (note sarcastic tone) I left my GPS in the window. So of course someone decided to relieve me of it, by punching out a window. At least they didn't take anything else, like the whole car. So I end up sending 2 hours at person number 2's house calling the cops. Who by the way didn't even come out! they just called me back to get the info to file a police report and said tough cookies. I ended up cancelling the rest of the visits for the day, which was not a lot given the fact that all my patients went to the hospital as I said earlier. Luckily I found a place to fix the window for me. Because the broke into my car early in the day the auto place was able to go pick up what they needed and fix my window same day. He vacuumed out the glass and cleaned it up real nice. And I found the WaWa card I though I lost. So I think I will treat myself t a cup of coffee and be glad I didn't totally freak out today. I think I earned it. BTW- the windows came out beautiful.
