If my ears would pop, I'd be golden...

Specifically my right ear... They have been really plugged up (fluid in them according to the not-so-helpful doctor that just told me to take dramamine for the dizziness and wait it out) for about a week now... Ugh. I got over the worst of whatever this is over the weekend. I struggled through most of the week last week, but by Friday I was done. I called in sick and proceeded to sleep for most of the day. Then slept most of the day Saturday and Sunday.... I don't have the horrible headaches anymore, but my ears are driving me INSANE. I'm actually getting slightly frightened of when my ears do finally pop because everything is going to seem ridiculously loud... I actually slept through my alarm for 20 minutes the other morning because I was sleeping with my right ear up and didn't hear it... haha

I'm hoping that I avoided passing it on to J... He was feeling pretty crappy on Saturday, less so on Sunday, and went to work today... So I'm hoping...

I've been neglecting my poor little blog... Mainly because I've been either out of town or sick for a while and either haven't been around physically or mentally in order to write... A few weekends ago we went on our camping trip. It was overcast the whole time, but that was actually really nice because you didn't have to worry about being too hot. One of my friends brought his projector and screen and we watched a couple movies while sitting around the campfire. It was a pretty plush extravagance while camping... haha The two puppies that were making their first trip camping did really well... Poor Cowboys paws were bugging him by the end of the weekend and he wanted nothing to do with sitting in front of the fire... Poor baby. My friend told me that he PASSED OUT in the car on the way home... He'll get used to it...

The next weekend we went on a weekend trip with a different group of friends to see one of J's coworker's hockey tournament.... Unfortunately they lost the game we were there to see, but they had the biggest cheering section there... haha While were there, our friends got engaged! Very exciting. The ring was gorgeous and she was so excited she couldn't stop hugging all of us and telling everyone we walked past... We had a delicious dinner at Il Fornaio to celebrate. Good weekend.

This past weekend - in between sleeping and being sick - I finally coudln't stand it anymore... Being gone and working and being sick - we hadn't cleaned in a while.... Our kitchen was getting UNUSABLE with the amount of stuff we had dropped on the table and on the counters... There were bags and boxes and mail and empty soda cans and.... you name it. Plus, a sink full of dishes we had used during the week.... We are both pretty cluttery people, but that was WAY over the line. And the only reason there were empty soda cans on the counter instead of in the recycling can was because we had been too lazy to take the full bag of recycling to the outside can! It was bad. haha Better now though. I can breathe a sigh of relief and when I get home and need to set my purse down on the table (where I always put it... we eat at our dining table - never the kitchen one) I can do it without it immediately tipping over and falling on the floor...

I'm still dealing with my desk of chaos at work... And found out the other day that pretty much as soon as I am done dealing with the RO's for this incentive - we will be having TWO MORE that I will have to be doing pretty much the same thing for. I have a feeling that my bosses have a pool going for when I will snap... Fantastic. Oh well. It makes the days go REALLY quickly, and it's easy, so I guess I can't really complain. It's job security, right? As long as I have mountains of work, I am obviously necessary... But if I get one more stupid meaningless task dumped on me that the "dump-er" should be doing themself...... Well, lets just say I hope that person picked that day in the "Snap Pool." haha

Well...... I'm covering the switchboard again (our receptionist's husband is a professional motocross rider and he got in an accident in his last race and had to have surgery on his hand today) and so I had some time to write.... But I supposed I should probably start sorting this stack of RO's that I brought down here with me so that I can add them to the stacks that are already sorted and ready to enter.... It's really never-ending.....
