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).

  1. All sorts of stuff is going around school, too. I try to keep my room Lysol-ed 24/7.

    P.S. The doggie bakery is Barkery Bistro. I haven't been down there in a while, but the last time we were there, it was open. It's so awesome - they have homemade goodies, and you can bring your dog inside! You should take Moose some time; he would love it!
