Mentally Drained

Well what a whirlwind of a week it has been so far. It's rare that you will hear me say this but I am so friggin' happy that it is finally Friday and after 8 to 10 hours of work today it will be the weekend. 2 days to do whatever the hell we want to do, mostly anyhow.

Catching Up

Well taking all of the days off from work for the holiday put Cicely a little behind on her current game. This suck big time because she will now have to go in and work a few extra hours on Saturday to catch up on some of the development before her game is really for alpha review this month.

It really sucks because we both always try to bust our asses as well as stay late during the week to avoid weekend working. With the complexity of her current game though this is just one of those times it can't be avoided.

No worries though, in the long run it will put her a little bit ahead of development and let her rest easy, well in a matter of speaking anyway. The game will still be full speed ahead as they always are.

Babies Dressor

Finally after just over 2 months of waiting and 4 months of it being on layaway to score a killer price babies last piece of furniture, the dressor has arrived at the store! It has been such a pain for some reason. We have had every problem from the store saying we already picked it up to times when they were unable to locate any trace of us paying for it.

So finally that has come to an end and tomorrow I will borrow dads truck and go down to pick it up. It's not going to be the easiest thing to get into the house or out of the truck since it weights just under 200 friggin' pounds but I think I can manage on my own with some "movers tricks and techniques".

So one step closer to having all of the big stuff ready for baby. Wait, actually I think that is the last of the big ticket items that we needed to get. Well that is a nice surprise to realize!

Doctor

So I went to my new, old doctor appointment yesterday and it was nice to see that my doctor is still pretty much the same as before. Caring and wants to know what is going on. Is not looking to throw a bunch of pills at you to fix or mask things. My doctor truely wants to get to the root of things first and determine what can be done either using no medicine or using it as an added therapy.

I am 100% for western medicine and have no problem using what is available to make things better. But at the same time I am stubborn and want to see how far I can get without it. Meaning fixing things in my own with certain lifestyle changes and so on as needed/if needed. I unfortunately have hereditary things that I am predisposed with. Because of this all the fruits, veggies and exercise in the world will not make a difference.

Tuesday

Last but not least yesterday was an amazing and rewarding day after many years of hard work, late nights and weekends as well as struggles, fears and everything in between I have accepted a promotion and a new role within the company and in my same group. I don't want to go into it too much until the official announcement next Tuesday.

Until then I have a lot on my plate already, a lot to learn and more importantly trust and peer respect to gain with open lines of communication. Anyway, more on all of this next Tuesday.

Have a great Friday, a safe Friday night and throughout the weekend! I plan to do much of the same.
