Not really much for words tonight. Just wanted to post a few pictures. Lots more over at flickr. For those of you that asked, yes, Lynard Skynard was awesome. Night all.

Current Mood: Tired

My calves have been killing me for about the last week. Not really my calves, but my shins. Bone pain. Nothing like it. When I lay down at night, it is unreal. Argh. Anyways, I have been working killer hours at work. Between 9 and 10 hours. It will be a nice paycheck though. Two more days and I am off for three for the holidays. Heck yeah. Grant gets home tomorrow night as well. Can’t wait. Lynard Skynard concert Friday night. Something to look forward to. Night.

Current Mood: Tired

Grant has decided that it is time for us to get serious about purchasing a home. Our plan is a mobile home. We have 20 acres on which to put it, along with a well and septic tank already taken care of. So, he calls me last night and says to be ready when he gets home from this hitch. He wants to find something and put a $1,000 down, like now. It scares me how fast he moves and makes these decisions. I am a worrier if you can’t tell. My response, what about electricity, heat, air, a drive way. You know, the basics? Anyways, he’s pretty determined. I would love it if it turns out to be that easy, but it never is. We will see what happens. Wish us luck.  I really want out of this house by the end of summer as well. The utilities are killing us. We barely using the air or have things on in the house, but we average around $400 a month on electricity. One winter, we had an $800 bill. This house is so old and has no insulation, and many of the windows are not sealed. Technically, everything in the house is off from about 7:00 am until 7:00 pm. In the evenings, I have the TV, the laptop, and one light one (whichever room I am) and the air. Everything but the air gets turned off from midnight on. Ridiculous.

Anyways, Riley and I slept in until almost one. Yikes. Then we got up, I cleaned real quick and now I am doing laundry. When Grant is gone, the house stays pretty clean. We are barely here except for in the evenings. My plans for today are taking it easy. We now have mandatory office meetings every Monday at 8:00 am which sucks. We are going to be doing courses on refraction, which I have known how to do for almost two years now. But everyone else has to learn. Fun times. So yeah, I think I am about to go take Riley swimming. Be back later. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I did not make this layout. Heh. It came from Scribble Scratch, who has many amazingly cute and simple layouts available. Just wanted to clarify that. I’m glad that everyone likes the new look though! I’m seriously trying to figure out what is up with the archives though. Any help?

Things at work have been going a lot better lately. We hired a new tech. The awesome thing is that it was someone I know from my hometown. We are riding to work together, which is great. When you drive thirty minutes to work one way with gas prices, car pool is a God send. Also, it’s great to have a friend in the clinic with me. I’m really getting sick and tired of the other two’s attitudes. It sucks and it brings down the entire office. What was funny was that I didn’t even have to say anything to the new girl, Ashley. She saw it within the first two days on her own and asked me what the deal was. I didn’t want to say anything to her unless she asked or they started giving her problems. Trying to avoid gossip and drama. Unfortunately, they showed their true colors on their own.

Anyways, I kinda hurt myself at work today. We had a patient in a wheelchair, so we needed to move one of the exam chairs about five foot back so that she could move under the slit lamp. Well, each chair weighs about 300 lbs. Note, I did not even attempt to lift the darn thing, I am not Hercules. I lifted one side and slowly scooted the thing backwards one side at a time, kinda wobbly like. Anyways, one of the arm rests came loose and pinched my arm and I jerked really hard. Somehow, I managed to badly pull a muscle in my left side. It is swollen. Oh sweet lord does it hurt. I don’t want to move. I know, I said last time that from now on, I would get one of the doctors to do it. But we were slammed and I was in a hurry. Yeah, I know, that’s what I get. Dad chewed my butt good when I got home.

Right now I am waiting on Grant’s little brother to stop by before I head to bed. I have to get up early and take a shower in the morning, so I really wish he would hurry up. I had planned on crashing early last night, but I came across this design and I knew that if I didn’t upload it right then, that I would never get it done. I’m very glad I did. So yeah, if Christopher doesn’t show up soon, I’m going to bed anyways. Hope things are going well for everyone. Thanks again for the comments. Night.

Okay, so I finally uploaded a new look. Now I am way to tired to post. I have to get up at 7:00a in the morning for work. Argh. At least things are looking up in that area of life. On the down side, Grant left for the rig today.
