Feelin' Fine

Well, I'm better that I was. Still coughing and sniffling a bit, but nothing to be worried about. I'm just glad that it's just a bad cold, and not something worse.

I think that I'm excited to go to Summerfest tomorry -- that and I only have to work a half day! Woo! I'll be glad to be done by 12. I need to sleep a lot this weekend. I've just been so tired. The Joe and Yakob are coming with. I'll probably try to go on Sunday too.

Nothing else to report really. Been practicing and stuff, so that's good. I didn't tonight, but I was tired. Anyway, just thought an update was in order. Getting pretty excited for the next HP movie and the last book. I can't believe it's almost over.

So sick...

So, over the weekend, I get the worst cold that I've had since December 2002. No joke. I had to work graduation and I probably looked like crap. I barely remember anything that happened, and you'd think that I would remember a little bit. But, I did get sent home from the ceremony early. And then, instead of being able to head home, like everyone else for Christmas, I spent the REST OF THE DAY in my bed in my room. The only other time that I was super sick like that was when I was still in the dorms. I had the flu for 4 or 5 days -- chills, fever, crazy green waves passing through my vision. I also had the flu when I was in the house too -- a cold followed by the flu a week later. Guh.

So, I hate being sick. Actually, I HATE having a sore throat -- that's the worst -- and a stuffy nose/sinuses. I don't mind the coughing. It's usually not that bad. It just sounds bad.

Anyway, I'm at work. 2 1/2 hours to go. And thanks to Sudafed (the meth kind), I really haven't been noticing the day passing by. I just want to be well enough to go to Summerfest on Friday. That's all I really want.

Then, after the worst of this goes away, I HAVE to start cracking on the horn -- I played a couple of days, but Jupiter has A flats in it. I can squeak them out, but they're really sharp right now. Blah. Oh well, a week of steady practice and I'll be good to go. I hope.

WELL!

So, my mom just graduated from her self taught Medical Transcription course -- and by "just", I mean, the ink is still drying on her diploma, and she already has a job! Working for an outpatient children's clinic in Boston (she works from home, of course), and gets pretty good pay. But, she's an independent contractor, so that means, you pay your own income taxes, etc., all that jazz that HR would take care of for you at a regular type job.

Then, today at my job, I found out that one of the girls is leaving her job -- which is the same job that I applied for WAY back in September and didn't get. I am going to be taking over some of her duties, and then when the position opens officially, I can apply for it! It would be a promotion, which should mean more funding for the Heyer household. Which would be amazing. And I think in this job, if I would get it, I could justify getting my tution refunded by work (that's if they still have such a policy when we find out who has purchased us). So, that's pretty exciting! I would love to do that job (even if it meant more frequent overtime). I don't know how fast it would move, but my guess is pretty swiftly. :) The team lead of that section is going to work over with the group that my dad works in actually, so it's just funny.

Anyway, I'm going to be working on the old resume, updating and such. And WAITING FOR THE CABLE MAN TO GET HERE!!!!!!!

Posting from work

I'm a rebel.

So, if anyone in the Milwaukee area/vincinity/whatever is interested, Jake and I are going to Summerfest on June 29th to see the Silversun Pickups at 9pm at the US Cellular Area (or whatever bullshit they call the stage nowadays); I, myself, will probably stay and hang out all afternoon and evening. So, come on down and party with me! :) No seriously. The Silversun Pickups are pretty sweet. Just send me a message or call me. We have a house to crash at and there are plenty of places to sleep, including the basement. :)

We get cable tomorrow and I'm SO excited! I can't wait to start watching TV until it comes out my ears again.

In conclusion, come down to Milwaukee and visit Jake and Angie and come to Summerfest with us.

EDIT: I forgot: 30 days until Book 7! Get...your...drinking...shoes....on?

I can't get to sleep...I think about the implication

I really love the acoustic version of "Overkill" from Men at Work on the Scrubs episode entitled "My Overkill"

I could watch that episode all the time.

Came home sick from work today -- but it was only one hour. And 15 mins.

I had a purpose for this entry, but now I don't remember what it was.

OH! I really need to jump on the practice train tomorrow. I don't know where to practice even. Probably up in the bedroom, or down in teh basement, because the spare bedroom is crammed full and the back office is just crammed full of stuff n things.

But, Old Man's wedding is looming on the horizon, so I really need to get up and go. The music does not look too hard, so it's just a matter of getting my shit together and having a good couple of run throughs with everyone else. Looking forward to it. I miss playing. Everyday.

Okay, I really need to go to sleep. I can't have another day like today tomorrow. Blah.

#266 (for what it's worth)

We are pretty much moved. 90%. JakerJosh are going to get the remaining stuff from the apartment tomorrow, after they take a bunch of crapola to the dump.

It is pretty sweet. I like it much better than being in an apartment, I'll tell you what.

However, right now, I'm very tired and ready for beddy. It's only 9pm. I've been going non-stop all weekend, it seems. V. tiring.

I should really take the cookies off the sheet pan, change the wash in the basement, and make sure that I have clothes for tomorrow. But, I'll probably just sit here and do nothing until I have to go to bed. We are trading Josh and Kristine a TV (big for little one), which will be awesome.

The house looks amazingly different from when we bought it. I am really hopeful that when we try to sell in 5 or 10 years, we can get a good price from it. At the very least, try to have our mortgage under $100k. I figure we can last one to two children here, and then we'll have to give up and buy a bigger place.

Josh is sitting with his arm around Jake right meow. It's pretty funny. Brothers have to hug apparently. Josh is "tipping over" and to counteract it, he has to put his arm down.

I'm ready for some kids I think. I mean, I want to go to school and get a Masters degree and my CPA (i think) and find a better, more meaningful job; but, at the same time, I'm already pushing 30 here. I'm ready to go. :) I've got names picked out and everything. :)

Anyway, I'm off to do that stuff that I said before.

Time for an update (but, only because it's been awhile)

Well, my ankle turned out to be just fine -- I iced it at work, took some drugs and by the next day, I was fine again. Well, if I step on it right, it twinges a little bit, but that's not a super big deal.

The trip to Saint Louis was good too. It was nice to see Maggie and Ryan and they kitties. My friends' wedding was really nice and it was nice to see him again -- I probably hadn't seen him in 10 years, maybe. If not longer. His wife is nice too.

Saint Louis was hot and muggy most of the time. I got tired of being hot.

May 28th was our 2nd wedding anniversary! Jake really liked his gift. A Lot. Ask him if you really want to know what he got. I got to pick out a necklace from Kay Jewelers -- it is one of those journey pendants with diamonds and sapphires in it. It's not a big necklace, but it's pretty. New got our rings cleaned and polished too, so that was nice. I also got some chocolates from Godiva (the dark chocolate kind) and I plan on getting the GhostHunters DVD's when I get a chance to go to Best Buy.

Finally, we plan on finishing the move this weekend. We're tired of being between places. So, I'm going to spend most of the day tomorrow boxing up the remaining crap in the apartment and pulling all the stuff out of the bedrooms, so I can haul some of it over to the house and what ever is left will go over in the truck that Jake is going to borrow from work tomorrow night.

So, hopefully, by Sunday, we will be all moved over. I will come back this week to the apartment to clean it and turn in our stuff to the apt manager and be done with this place.


Then, we can finally have that party that I was so actively talking about months ago. Maybe. Maybe I'll just have a Harry POtter Book Seven Party instead. BAH!

Until later....

EDIT: Plan B for move: Whatever...
