Still Recovering

I'm still recovering, and no, not from New Year's Eve. I'm just starting to feel normal after a nasty course of pneumonia I managed to catch over the holidays. On one hand I managed to extend my vacation by four days...but on the other I was at home in bed with a fever and an elephant sitting on my chest. Not fun. I basically slept for the first 24-36 hours I was home, but once I was able to stay awake long enough to figure out how to use the remote for the tv, I discovered VH1's mega marathon of America's Next Top Model.


I normally don't watch these kinds of shows. I call them "trash tv" because of how shallow they are - celebrity focused and usually not very entertaining.


I watched 5 seasons of ANTM. And when Joe got home from work, I made him watch with me. I'm almost embarassed. Joe, however, should be the one who's embarassed...while I adore him for watching the show with me instead of going into the other room and flipping on the history channel, he was snuggled under the covers with me discussing who was going to win and who took better pictures. Too funny.


So anyway, now that I'm almost done with my antibiotics and finally sleeping through the night (I was waking myself and probably Joe up with my cough) I feel like I can return to my normal routine. So I went back to work for two days....and now I have three off. Life is good.


I feel like we should be packing, but we haven't even acquired boxes yet. I hate the idea of living out of boxes for the next two weeks, but not as much as I hate the idea of having to pack everything in a couple days. So I'm hoping to get some things packed today. I'm going to start by cleaning out the closests and cupboards and getting rid of the things we don't need/want/have space for at the new place. Our apartment in Marquette is certainly comparable in size, but not in closest space because one of the bigger closests is taken up by a washer and dryer (i'm so NOT complaining about that, mind you). So we're going to have to a little smarter about storing things.


We're headed to the UP tomorrow night because I have to do some pre-employment stuff on Friday. I'm also going to call and see if we can meet the with banquet coordinator at the Ramada about out reception - we're penciled in at the UpFront, but we got their price list in the mail and it's sooooooo expensive, so we're going to explore other options.
