Comparisons

What makes me happy right now?
  • It's my weekend right now. I had a few days off in the middle of the week that gave me time to clean house, do some serious spring organizing, work out, and play in the kitchen.
What makes me grumpy about that?
  • That means I work Friday & Saturday night.
What makes me super-duper-extremely happy and excited?
  • Starting Monday morning I work the 7am-7:30 pm shift. (The only downfall is because days is so crazy, I rarely see anyone get out of there before 8:15 pm.)
  • I get to join the WORLD again!
What makes me a little uneasy?
  • Because I have to work another person's schedule for this month...I do not have a single work-free weekend until April 25. Gross.
  • I wish hospitals could shut down on weekends & holidays. The patients can fend for themselves....(I'm joking...)
What makes me motivated?
  • I've been stepping up my workout routine lately, and Ryan has even been joining me! He usually is strictly a weight-lifting kind of guy, but has decided to do more cardio.
What makes me jealous?
  • He's only done a few "Abby workouts" -- and has had to start taking protein/weight gainer shakes because he's lost so much weight. His pants don't fit anymore. How is this fair?
  • I swear if my husband gets to a point where he weighs less than me I will throw the scale out the window in a fit of rage.
What makes me relieved?
  • We have been battling trying to get a primary care physician since DECEMBER 7, and yesterday I finally got in. Yes. It took that long. (it's been a seriously irritating, long, frustrating ordeal...)
What makes me skeptical?
  • Our doctor is weird. When reviewing my family history, I had "heart issues" on both my maternal & paternal sides.......and he replied stating (in a serious voice), "Is there relation between your parents?" I asked, "What do you mean by relation....." His response, "Are they cousins?"
  • REALLY?!?! Cousins! Wow!
What am I excited for today?
  • To watch the U of A vs Duke March Madness game. We are going out to watch the game. It's our date night :-)
What am I a little not excited for?
  • I feel that Duke will probably crush the U of A. Therefore, my husband will yell at the tv. As will other spectators at the bar....
  • You know how pets don't like the sound of a vacuum cleaner? And they get all uneasy and jumpy when they hear that noise? That's how I get when people yell at tv's over sporting events.

I'm with you...the sound of people yelling at tvs really makes me nervous and jumpy!! I hope you're wrong about Duke though and maybe there'll be only happy clapping and big smiles at the bar tonight! ;)

Whoa - your doctor IS weird. I can't believe it took THAT long to get a primary care physician. Yikes. That is bad. I could get one in a day here!

This was fun to read! I am so glad that you get to switch to days! That will make such a difference in your quality of life!

Does that doctor have an incredibly dry wit?

He couldn't be serious, right?

I think I heard Ryan cheering last night all the way in Florida!

I loved this!

And I totally feel you with the husband workout senario. My boyfriend has the metabolism from God and can eat whatever he wants. He hikes and skis, but really only exercises a few times a month, if that. Over the past six months, he's probably put on ten pounds and I swear all it has done is give him more defined abs. NO FAIR!

Paul & I cousins? That is too funny!
I'm so glad you finally found a primary physician, but this may be interesting! Good luck!
I take it from Barb's comment that UofA won? I bet Ryan is on cloud 9!
Be sure you get enough sleep today before you go to work so you don't fall asleep on your way home in the am!

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for...

30 Blogs: Something I'm Afraid of

This isn't a very difficult post for me to write about. I am such a "scaredy cat" about so many things. I could quite possibly turn this into a book. I was also the kid that wouldn't go on the monkey bars at school, out of fear that my arms may be ripped out of their sockets. I was the kid who got to the end of the diving board, and then shriveled into a ball at the end shaking in tears. I got to the top-climax spot on a roller coaster, and start saying "Oh my God, get me off this thing. I don't want to do it anymore! Get me off this thing!!" Then I went college, and majored in nursing. I leanred all the horrible ways one can reach multi-system organ failure. If I have too much coffee, and feel maybe the slightest heart palpitation - I am listening to my heart sounds with my stethoscope......... So here's my list of irrational some fears. ;) (some of these may be comical & pathetic to you):\ Heights Vomit (I've gotten better about th...

Let's try this again...

Last year we purchased soil, mulch, and all these plants that grow great in well-watered, rich-soiled areas. Then we went away for a weekend, and everything dried up like a prune. I was a bit disappointmented, as gardening is a hobby & passion of mine. In fact, I became quite frustrated with our hot climate. But we did some research on desert plants, and I found a new love! Desert plants are quite fascinating, actually. Their tough outer skin & small leaves result in maximum absorbtion of our spare water -- allowing them to thrive on little. They are also extremely regenerative. You can cut a branch or an arm off a cactus, and plant it in the ground somewhere else to create a new plant. So we found a very local cactus nursery last weekend, and got to work! Here are a few of the gems we planted. (These are pictures I've found offline, as I haven't taken proper pictures of our front yard yet due to the immaturity of our plants at this point) The Desert Barrel ...
