Stuff

You know I love sharing pictures with everyone, but today I don't have any planned. There were several last time anyway. :)
So, I thought I'd just share what's been up over the last couple days.

Health:
Decidedly better than at the beginning of last week. Still having some sharper pains than prior, but nothing I haven't had before. Got an earache yesterday. It's better today, but still there. I've also started a little bit of a stuffy nose and a cough that's getting progressively more painful. I definitely have some swollen glands. Oh joy. I just worry about getting everyone (especially the babies) around me sick. It's probably just a cold. I'll drown it in orange juice...it's my way. :)

Fun things:
Saw my friend Michelle (D.) on Thursday. Always good to see a friend -- especially when it's been a long time.
I'm down to just one box to unpack and I'll finally be settled here in Justin's house.
My last "Arizona bill" payment was mailed out today. And the deposit refund was put in the mail to me today (they say).
I went to Bible study after church on Sunday. We studied Jonah...or some semblance of studied. Either way, I met some more people. I just don't remember all their names. One gave me a booklet that gives all sorts of information about the church. Get this! My picture is in it!! On the last page in the portion of the booklet describing what the LCMS church believes/professes was a picture from Ivy's baptism. It showed Pastor, Ivy and me! How fun is that! :-D
Today I made buckwheat chocolate pancakes. They were good! I also tripped and fell down. The swelling in my knee is going down and I have a really neat bruise in the shape of the metal strip on the floor between the carpet in the dining room and the vinyl in the kitchen. Justin and I called it my "triple klutz". :p

Job stuff:
I've sent out my resume a few more times and filled out some more applications. Nothing yet. Still living off the unemployment payments.

Others:
No insurance is a bad thing. Today I had to pay $138 and change for one of my prescriptions. Ugly!! A few days ago it was $50-something for one of the others. Ugh! I have an appointment in May with some "general assistance" thing through the state of Nebraska. We'll see.
I guess we could talk about the weather now. I think Chicago can relinquish it's "Windy City" title. It's crazy windy outside today. Makes it feel colder than 60-degrees and sunny. Tomorrow I think I heard will be more of the same. A little birdy tells me the Phoenix area is supposed to hit 100-degrees tomorrow. I'm thinking I'll take this over that. :p

Okay. I think that about does it. Nikki is picking up Cheese Nips from my floor. She hasn't quite figured out that when she runs, they bounce too much in the cup and go flying everywhere. It's actually pretty funny! :)

Alrighty! Everyone take care! Maybe I'll have more pictures next time. Pictures are worth a thousand words, right? Saves me from getting typing cramps in my hands! But you're all worth it even if I did let my hands cramp up! ;)
