I am determined to make this year a good one. Last year was a tough one, my grandfather had an emergency triple bypass and almost didn't make it shortly thereafter, I took the most grueling summer semester ever, I filed for divorce, and then to end the year on the right note my dining room ceiling fell in. Yes, fell in. I know, these things don't JUST happen, but sometimes kids, they do. Yes, they do.
Let's just jump right to the ceiling issue. Most of you already have read my so-called divorce posts and that's as detailed as it's going to get. You were around to witness my summer semester which included squatting in the library, those were fun days. Let's not forget the bazillionth degree sunburn saga either. So, on to the matter at hand.
Ceilings. One day you have em' the next day they're gone. That's how it works at my house anyway.
Poor Roni almost got knocked in the head with the debris but made it to safety just in time. Fiberglass dust was EVERYWHERE as you can see.
It's being fixed as we speak (well not RIGHT now, I let the guy go home for the evening) and I can't wait to get all of the dust and stuff out of my house!
On to my next favorite topic, school. It started. I go. This is my LAST semester before nursing school. Finally! Speaking of nursing school..........
I got a little practice in emergency medical triage today. I cut the tip of my thumb off. Yes. Continue when you are ready.
Now, when I say this, it sounds much worse that it actually is, that's what we call dramaticizing. I am quite good at dramaticizing if I do say so myself. So, it's just a small chunk of thumb tip, but still painful none the less. I was chopping an onion for my spaghetti sauce. Yes, I threw the onion away and got a new one. I took careful note of the inflammatory response, and marveled at the accuracy of my body when responding to an emergent situation. I could practically see the neutrophils running toward the cite of the wound to gobble up the foreign invaders by phagocytosis! I know, it's exciting.So, now for the rest of the year. I am over all of the garbageness of last year. Done with it I say. This is going to be a great year. Here are a few of the things that I will accomplish:
1. I will get into nursing school. This is first and foremost on my list because this is what's going to pay Wonder's bills.
2. My divorce will be final. This is second because this is the second most important. It makes perfect sense right? It's a little system I came up with. I call it numbering things in order of importance. Let me know if you'd like me to explain it to you.
3. I will lose weight. Yes, I am just like every other woman on the face of the earth. I will not say how much I would like to lose because then nobody will know if I fail. This another system I came up with called covering my butt. Be as vague as possible, that way nobody will know what a loser (no pun intended) you are!
4. I will make better use of my free time. I will work hard to squeeze more naps into my schedule when I have an opening. Isn't that what you would do? And last but not least.......
5. I will try to blog more. I know, I am selfless. I am willing to make the sacrifice so you can have much reading pleasure. Send money if you'd like, I will take it!
Oh, and in closing, the other night I was at the mall with my friend Jenny. We saw a guy walk directly into a steel pole. It was great. I'm not sure if I have ever laughed so hard right in front of the person I was laughing at. Ahh, that's what I call starting the new year right!
