Hello. I know, I have not posted a blog in over a month,...and have not been around online nearly as much as I use to lately either. My plan was to type a long year ending blog post. That 'ain't happening right now. This short one will have to do.
When it comes right down to it, I might not sound like it, but I am really just too busy to be able to keep up with my blog. Well, that and what I am doing is not all that post worthy. Much of the same day in and day out. When I am not busy, I am tired, or trying to catch up on other things I have had to put off due to being busy.
My hours have been upped at work, and I have to be awake shortly after 4 in the morning now to get to work. These two changes have caused me to be very tired when I have a moment to sit, and my brain does not work well enough to form a blog. I usually end up trying to relax and watch a show or movie I have missed earlier in the week. Nearly every night has a hockey game, and it is hard to type a blog and watch a game as you miss quite a bit when not looking at the screen the entire time. {There is in fact a game playing right now, but I am mad at the reffs and so am a bit more ok with not paying 100% attention to it right now. That, and as I said, this is going to be rather short, so I will get back to keeping my eyes on the screen very soon.}
My weeks go something like this Sunday I do not work but have Church in the morning. Depending on how things go, we spend everywhere from an hour to five visiting online via Skype with my brother David. Very often, by the time we are saying goodbye, it is time to eat dinner and then the puck is dropped. :)
Monday is my one full weekday off, as I sometimes get out at 11 rather than 1 on other days. This is when I will take advantage of my morning off, though that means one of two things. Either I sleep in ALL MORNING since it is the one and only time of the week I can do that, or I wake up mid morning to get things done. {NOOOOOOOO....oh, sorry. I don't like what is going on in the game. *tear*} This is when I run errands, hang out with Kade, take the kids out, catch up on some TV I have missed due to games...etc.
Tuesday I usually work 5-1. Upon my arrival home, I check in online see whats going on with everyone, talk some with my family and get filled in on what happened while I was gone, and then I most often head to bed for a nap. There are many times I do not get up again till it is time for dinner. If it is an Anaheim game, I go back to bed after I eat, and sleep till 10 when its time to get up and watch the game. If it is a Pittsburgh game, Kade and I head right from the table to the computer to 'hoot for' {as my Grandma would say} our Eastern team.
Wednesday, what do you know, looks much like my Tuesday.
Thursday, I think I remember doing this all the past two days.
Friday, if I did not get paid today, my day looks VERY much like Tuesday-Thursday. If I DID get paid today, then I probably have some banking and shopping to do after getting out of work at one.
Saturday, you guessed it. Even my weekend looks a lot like the rest of the week. Although, Dad has the day off, so if we are going to go out and do a family thing, this would be the day to do it. I don't HAVE to take a nap as I do have the next day off, but there are often times I am so worn out from the week that I end up at the very least just vegging out on the couch in front of the TV or something.
Plus, add in there that I have to make a trip out to Royal Oak every other week for my injections {which was this week....today....ouch} and I still go get my back adjusted, but it is down to about once a month now.
It sounds like I sleep A LOT, but I often do not feel like it.
As for China....all is going VERY WELL!! I have now reached the HALF WAY MARK in my savings. People, there is no doubt in my mind, I am spending no less than two weeks in China this summer! And I CANT WAIT!
Also.....Monday, Kade and I purchased tickets to an NHL game in February! *I'm gonna go see Husky*!! {sing*songy}
Christmas was good. Weird and didn't really feel like Christmas, but it was nice anyway. :)
2009 starts in less than an hour here! Hope you all have a fun start to yours!
