Cooties!

So I've had this nasty cold since Friday night. I mean nasty! I literally can't go 3 minutes without blowing my nose and coughing up a lung. Today is going to be my first day back to work since Friday night, and I am dreading it! And I wouldn't be going back today, if it weren't for my new friend Mucinex D (but of course, I had to sign my life away at the pharmacy to get it. Do I look like a meth head to you? Don't answer that. I'm sick, okay?!) So what have I done with my two days off from work (other than sneeze and hack)? I've gotten a jump start on my spring cleaning. I know, not really smart, seeings how I'm sick and should be in the bed, but it started out innocent enough. I wanted to "decontam" the house so Dan won't get sick, so I started in our kitchen, sterilizing everything I've touched since Friday. Then I moved to our bathroom, and well, I was on a roll and one thing led to another and before I knew it, I had cleaned out our closet, lots of old papers and notes that I had kept (for some unknown reason) and washed all of the laundry (including our pillows). Our bedroom hasn't been this clean since,.. well, I'm embarassed to say! But I feel so good that I have gotten that major chore accomplished and that feeling is the best medicine! If I can do that, I can certainly handle a few angry hospital guests tonight, right?
By the way, tomorrow I am turning in my application for school. I am nervous that I will forget or something, or that I have the dates wrong and it's really due today and I've already missed it (I've checked the school's website twice today already) or something will happen and I won't be able to get there, like a flat tire or something. They only allow you drop off the application between 8am-12noon tomorrow. Period. I should know by mid-April if I'm in. If I'm in, Dan and I will definitely go celebrate in a big way. Not sure what that will be yet. And if I don't get in, well, let's not think that for now, okay?
I hope you are all having a great week,.. and stay away from the cooties (they're everywhere apparently).

Fresh as a Daisy!

So I'm starting over on this blog bit, because something really weird happened to my old blog (www.danandtrudy.blogpsot.com), so now it's www.danandtru.blogspot.com (creative, I know). I will try to post some more great stories from work, life, and maybe even a few more chapters from my ongoing novel project. I've been writing some more lately, and now I've completed somewhere around 15 chapters so far.

Just wanted to let you know why there's a new Trudy blog and why the other one has nothing on it.

Blog on, my friends! Blog on!
