So the verdict is in.....I am having surgery on my wrist on Wednesday. I just want it over and done with. This wrist trouble is interfering with my life! I will be super glad when it is done so I can get back to lifting and shooting and biking without having my wrist hurt. But oh what will I have to wine about then!!!! I have to take a week off of work so it works out with my scheduled days off I will have 12 day off. That will be nice. I figure of those 12 days only one or two will suck because of the surgery. Today has been a pretty uneventful day. After the doctor I paid all my bills and did a little laundry. I am going to go for a run this afternoon. That is about it. I know pretty exciting.

My quote today is from a card I got from the vet clinic. It was really nice that they sent it. Of course just when I thought I was over putting Charlie to sleep they send me this card and it made me cry all over again. Can't believe how attached I got to that stupid cat. I have not been up to much on my days off. Yesterday I lifted and ran. I hardly ever to both on the same day. But I knew it was going to be rainy today so figured I better get my run in yesterday. Today I watched Liam and Josie for a few hours so Amy could study for her test at school on Thur. Dexter does not like it when I watch Liam. He seems to be overwhelmed by all the noise. He always takes a long nap when Liam leaves. I shot my bow in the basement this afternoon. It is the first time I have shot it since April. I shot about 15 arrows and that was about all my wrist could take. I go to the doctor tomorrow. Not soon enough! I guess that is all I know for today.

It has been a rainy weekend, but it was okay because I had to work. I was just glad the rain held off in the mornings until I had a chance to open all the buildings. So after opening buildings for the last two days my wrist was killing me. I figured it out today and I open at a minimum 131 doors per day. That is a 131 times I have to hold a key and twist my wrist. No wonder my wrist hurts! Good thing I only have to open buildings on the weekend. Saturday Amy and Adam had Josie baptised. After the baptism's we all went to there house for supper. It was fun. I have some cute pictures of Josie but I did not download them yet. I will try and get them up in the next couple of days. They showed my house three times last week. It is really a pain keeping the house super clean all the time. I hope it sells fast. But with my luck I will still be in it a year from now. I am trying to not get my hopes up on it selling fast. Today I am leaving work early to go to the dentist to finally get my cap on. I will be so glad when it is done! No more dentist for at least 6 months!!!!

Barney's

I forgot to say that I finally got to go to Barney's Drive-In last week. They have been open for a couple of weeks now. It was so good. Well I don't know if it's that good or I just like the fact that I don't have to cook and it is close to my house!

SAD

Charlie is not longer with me. I discovered on Monday that she had been using my ottoman for a litter box. I had put it in the basement up on a table and covered it with a sheet. I just wanted it out of my living room for awhile to give me more room. I paid a lot of money for this ottoman as it matched my sofa. Well unknown to me Charlie decided it would be a good place to pee and poop for the last week. It was totally ruined. I was so upset. So I threw the ottoman out and then Charlie decided she would poop on the floor of the basement and she also peed on my living room floor the next morning. So Tuesday I called the vet and had her put to sleep. It was really hard to do. I loved Charlie but I could not have a cat ruining everything I own. And I was not going to spend hundreds of dollars trying to figure out what was the matter with her. I cried and cried when she was gone. It has been hard to not have her around anymore. Stupid Cat! So needless to say I did not have a good Tuesday.

Yesterday was much better. I had my hair cut. I cut about 3 inches off. It looks much better now. In the afternoon and I went for a run around Clear Lake. I have not ran around the lake since last July 4th. I ran almost the whole 5 miles. I would say I walked about 1/2 of a mile total. It was hard but it felt so good. I really need to get out running more.

My wrist is killing me today. I am going back to the doctor next Thursday. Not soon enough. I just wanted it taken care of so it does not hurt any more. It looks like I have an alien growing out of my wrist the cyst has gotten so big. It is gross!

Today I am back at work, working really hard.

Spring

I think spring is finally here because the magnolia tree at work finally bloomed. I love the magnolia tree it is so pretty. I want one. The other picture is of two of the ducks that nest up on campus. There is a bunch of them that next on campus every year. They don't seem bothered by people at all. I had to work yesterday so that pretty much took care of my day. I had a really bad wrist day yesterday. I thought it was getting better but I guess not. I will see how it is today and then I will call the doctor. After work yesterday I took Dexter for a long walk with Dudley and Rick. He likes his walks. Today I am babysitting Liam and Josie. Right now I just have Liam and Josie is coming this afternoon. I am going to go to the store after I get done updating this. So I guess I better get going.
