happy things..
- I am not working such a crazyass schedule this week, thank God.
- Dad is coming home from the hospital either Wednesday or Thursday. He'll get visits from respiratory, speech, and physical therapists almost daily at home. I'm sure I'll be spending plenty of time looking after him and Mom, and driving them to doctors appointments and such. I don't mind, as long as I get some normalcy back in my life.
- I'm starting to feel much better, I'll elaborate on my illness below.
- Finally going grocery shopping later this morning. Haven't gone in almost two weeks, and I need milk, eggs, frozen and fresh veggies, yogurt, cottage cheese, the list goes on.
- If things go according to plan, I'll start back at the gym tomorrow morning, and end up going four times this week. Last week I couldn't go at all due to a crazy schedule + me being sick.
- I was REALLY sick from about Wednesday morning until Saturday night. I still have the sniffles and I'm coughing up stuff. I had a fever, my throat felt horrible, I was stopped up. It was so bad that I called in sick on Thursday night. I never call in sick. First time in a year. I still went to my parttime jobs, mostly because I don't get sick days there. Nyquil couldn't even help much.
- Like I mentioned above I haven't hit the gym since a week ago Friday morning. I feel like such a fatass. I've been generally good. I ate out three days in a row, though. Friday night was Carrows with Mom and Cathy, Saturday night was Chilis with Cathy and TJ, and Sunday night we had Wendys. I had a turkey and cheese fruschetta thing with a side salad. Oh yeah, before that for lunch I had McDonalds. A kids meal with chicken mcnuggets and apple dippers. I also got a side salad but saved that and brought it to work. I'm chowing it down right now. See, on my Sunday/Monday, I wake up at 4:30am and except for a small nap I'm up until noon the next day. So yeah it seems like I eat a lot but I'm burning a lot of calories being awake this long. I still feel bad for eating fast food this weekend, but oh well. Shit happens.
- Got kinda pissed off at Mom on Saturday night. Cathy and I decided to meet up with TJ and do something fun for the evening. I was still under the weather but I didn't feel like staying home. We went to dinner then decided to drive to Half Moon Bay. My mom called right as we got over the San Mateo Bridge, saying she was hot and asking if I was home. She wanted me to turn down the heater and get her some water. Apparently the bottle of water we left her an hour ago wasn't enough. I told her I was on the other side of the bay and she gave me that disappointing, "Oh". Then she hung up. I wasn't about to turn around and drive 30 min back when we had just left. So after Half Moon Bay we decided to drive to Santa Cruz along Highway 1. Absolutely beautiful. As we're driving up Highway 17 on the way home, Mom calls again. She's said that she called two hours ago (which actually was 1 1/2 hours but I didn't want to argue) and she was still overheated. Then she starts ranting about how she thinks herself and my dad should go live in a home, my sisters and I are too busy.. etc. Guilt Trips R Us. Dude, I take her to see my Dad in the hospital every day! I take her to the doctor, to do her labs, to the store, EVERYWHERE. I also work 50-70 hours a week. Can I not spend one evening 45 min away? Okay that rant felt so good. Next I have stupid videos to post..
