Sicko

So, after about 2 weeks of feeling like crapola, I am finally starting to feel better. Got some antibiotics to take care of the nasty bacterial infection in my chest/throat, and besides a little bit of GI issues from the antibiotics, I am almost back to normal! It sucks being sick when having to stress about moving, packing, bathroom remodel that didn't finish on time, no hot water in the house, etc, etc. The silver lining is that we are all moved in to the "new" house. Unpacked? That's another story. Max won't let me hang anything on the walls because he says they're old and any screws/nails/thumb tacks that I may put in could fall on the floor and Lola could eat them. Yes, his exact words. So...I am at his mercy when it comes to getting everything done. And he's pretty busy at work, making a certain someone's wedding cake! So, hopefully after he is done being a baker man, he will get on the next project of getting the house up to par.

All I know is that I am going to save as much money as possible in order to save up for a house so when we move again, it will be for GOOD. I am so over this renting stuff. I mean, it has it's perks. Not tied to any one area, the whole new-ness thing, oh, and not having to come up with thousands of dollars for a down payment! But, I know that it is best for us, in the end, and I will be much happier and content when I can say that I am a full-fledged home-owner. And just in case you didn't know, that is the ONLY reason we decided to move to this, my grandmother's rental house. It still needs tons of work...the bathroom was just the beginning. Is it sad that I am already looking forward to moving out!? Haha. In due time...

And now that I am feeling better and that we are done with the move, AND we have hot water, I will be making a trip out to Memorial again to start to prepare for my 10K coming up in 17 days. Went on Saturday with the nice, brisk weather. It was a GREAT run. I absolutely love running in cold weather. So, Saturday was a breeze (pardon the pun). 4.5 miles, 47 minutes...good stuff.

Oooohh, and another thing - I'm getting my hair colored on Thursday! Yay. It's seriously been way too long. I need to keep this whole keeping up with my hair-color on my to-do list. So it gets done more than once every 6 months. That's just redonk.
