Goodbye Christmas

-
*I posted this entry in the wrong blog on Dec. 28. So here it is in the right blog.*

Christmas is over. The in-laws have gone back home. Time to relax.

It was a nice weekend. We did get to do some relaxing, but the hubs got a cold which I seem to have now. So I did a lot of the driving over the weekend, until yesterday when J felt better.

Now he has 3 half days of work (counting today) until our long weekend for the new year. This one is just for us. No plans yet, though I'm sure J will want to go for some runs and bike rides. Especially since he missed out on them this past weekend.

New years is coming up, and I always think of all these resolutions I can make, even though I'm not big on resolutions. So I came up with a simple one that I can keep - I will start my 100 pushups program. That's all, just get it started. I got sick, so I pushed it back, and then the in-laws were here, so I didn't start, so next monday, first monday of the new year, I will get it started.

I will also try to read more. I haven't read much at all for the past month, and I miss it. I need to finish up my 4 day wins, and I'm considering starting over on the sparkpeople diet. Although being sick did push me down to 170, I haven't weighed myself since this past indulgent weekend. I would like to get serious about it again. I also have a friend moving on post in January who is interested in running with me, and I need to start training for the Bataan in March.

So I guess I want to have another resolution for the new year. I want to be more physically active. I know I'm a lazy ass.

On another note, My sister had her cholesterol tested and it's just barely on the high side. Her doc said that he thinks its genetic and any siblings 30 and older should get theirs tested. Well, since we don't have a brother anymore, that leaves me, and I just turned 30. So I need to get my PCM changed and talk to her about a lot of stuff.

In Need of Advice

-
Most of my local girlfriends follow me here, so I can ask for advice. I'm a messy person. I always have been. J knew this when we started dating. He knew it when we moved in, when we got engaged, when we got married. He still isn't used to it, and eventually we argue a little about the state of the house. I've never been very organized. I'm a stacker. I like to make stacks and piles, and then leave them there. Fortunately, I'm not a afraid of germs or dirt. Or maybe that's unfortunately, since it would probably help me keep a cleaner house. I see my friends' houses and don't know how they do it. Especially the ones with kids. How do you keep your counter so clean? How do you keep things put away? Another part of the problem is that I don't like cleaning. I mean, sometimes I actually say, "Oh, let's do some dishes. That sounds like the thing to do now." Sometimes. Other times I look at my dirty dishes and want to just throw them...

An Ode to Prescription Drugs

Oh tramadol, my tramadol, You ease my pain, But you set sweet sleep Beyond my grasp And make me itch *le sigh* Ok, so it's not exactly an ode, but it's what I got at 0611 when the migraine didn't go away last night. I took tramadol when it started to hurt. I had taken ibuprofen and it apparently didn't keep the pain away. I waited about 5 hours to take a second tramadol, since it says to take 1-2 every 4-6 hours. Then I went to bed. I got this weird roaming itch. I think I've mentioned it before but don't feel like looking it up. I had trouble sleeping again as well. It wasn't as bad as last time, but I couldn't seem to just stay asleep. So I looked up side effects of tramadol. Mild itching is a common side effect, which explains the roaming itch. Dry mouth is another side effect, and yes I experience that. I just keep water by my bed. But this trouble sleeping isn't listed. I suppose it could just be the itching that's waking m...

Cleaning Update

-
I got tons of advice from all kinds of people, and it's helping. I posted that cleaning schedule on my fridge in a plastic sheet protector. I mark off the chores each day as I do them. I just started week 2. Week 1 went well. I did end up with a bit of a migraine on Friday and didn't get the master bath done, but I knocked it out this morning. I think it might work. For my "once a months" I'm going to do that thing on the week it's next to. So this week I pull out the movable furniture (couches, chairs, any shelves that are easy to move) and suck up all the dog hair that collects there. Some of the furniture, mostly shelves, is hard to move and will get done during big cleaning sprees. I would love to start doing a spring cleaning in preparation for Passover. I haven't even been able to celebrate Passover the past few years, but I'll be home for it next year and have some girlfriends who would be interested in coming. Anywho, the cleaning is...
