A few highlights from the weekend! I finally had a weekend where I wasn’t exhausted and cranky all weekend, yay! (I was the last two weekends from getting very little sleep those Friday nights)

Friday

• Having a follow-up with my doctor. She and the nurse both told me they were looking forward to seeing me since my last visit was just a check-in then I ended up going to the ER! She’s my primary, so the appointment was to bring her up to speed and she couldn’t give me any input on my blood results but when she saw them she was shocked at how high they are, and she said she was going to bug the specialist to get back to me (I actually just got a message from her that he did not respond and she is going to ask her nurse to call). It’s been a week since I got the results.
• Giving the nurse and doctor thank you rocks. Kind of cheesy of me to make them, but they really liked them!
• A walk with Kris. We always have such good conversation, although I felt a bit drained and out of it (nothing to do with her). I forgot to put sunscreen on and got a sunburn. Ugh.
• Getting some packages out. Packaging takes me so long! And it’s not because I am making them all pretty or anything! Not sure what my deal is. I just need to become more efficient.
• New goodrs arriving. Gah, I am obsessed.
• A long phone call with Mom (then later, more of the fam!).

Saturday

• Sleeping in a bit. I was up early then went back to bed until 8:20!
• Getting a longer run in.
• Having the dead trees around the pond cut down (on Friday and Saturday). Since the pond is almost evaporated it’s a good time to have people come and cut them down. They were too tall for us to do on our own.
• Getting some rocks resined. These we redo rocks from last week – I tried to resin them in the late afternoon and the sun isn’t strong enough to cure them as fast as I want and I touched them too early (before they were cured) and they got messed up. I need to resin toward midday now.
• My shirt for CatCon arriving. Ahh! It’s so cute. I don’t think I mentioned CatCon is what Christina (snister) and Ella (niece) and I are going to, because I did not want to jinx it. But we are going to California next week! We have matching outfits for CatCon, of course. We splurged on a hotel near the Santa Monica Pier and we are both SO EXCITED!
• Painting in the afternoon and after dinner.
• Remembering to order a new Road ID. I’m not sure which blood thinners I will be (that may change once I hear back from the specialist) so I just put that I generically am, for now.

• El famous for dinner. Ha, getting there and back was a little crazy because of an accident. The cops shut down the highway and we rerouting all the traffic on a side road. Took a little longer than it should have.

Sunday

• Vegan pancakes and bacon for breakfast.
• Getting my walk in.
• A chai from Starbucks.
• A chill day! We watched three movies! I painted and resined during (well, had to take a break and go outside to resin).
• Hearing a friend had their baby! Ahh! I am so excited for them!!!!!
• Chili and cornbread for dinner. It’s still too hot for that meal, but we have plans to make chili dogs and needed to make it! Priorities!

Lowlights

• Waking up early on Friday. Why am I up at 5:00 am on my day off? WHY WHY WHY.
• Wasting every Friday off. What is wrong with me. Why do I fill these days instead of chill?! At least I got some chill time Saturday and Sunday!
