My week of house-sitting is finally over! I don't mind getting away most of the time. It's nice to have a place to get away and have the TV controls all to myself. :) But after a while it just becomes an inconvenience. This last place wasn't the most comfortable for me. Normally I'm house-sitting for people I know really well, like Sam, my adopted grandma or my sisters' place. This time it was just different. Either way I'm just glad it's done.
I'm not sure if I'm ready for this next week to be here already. I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed at work, but of course that's old news for my blog... But lately so many people at work are discouraged it's hard to stay positive and upbeat. I'll be glad when things are finally out of this slump.
So let's see... This week has consisted of work and house-sitting. I watched a lot of movies this last week. I watched The Mummy and The Mummy Returns last Saturday. I ended up watching Legally Blonde and Legally Blonde Two (Definitely one timer movies) on Wednesday evening. Thursday I watched The Scorpion King and Pearl Harbor. I had forgotten how good of a movie Pearl Harbor was! It was like watching it for the first time... again! I watched the first Harry Potter movie on Friday night.
Saturday was an incredibly busy day. I did a bunch of running with Sam. We took Ricer for his checkup since he was sick earlier in the week and Sam took him in for blood work. Ricer has the biggest personality of all of the cats I've ever known! He wasn't doing so hot and the results came back that he most likely ate a spider or had some cleaning supplies. Sam's next door neighbor just moved out so we're thinking the chemicals for cleaning the carpets and the paint probably got to him. But he's on his way to recovery. It made me want to take my dog Chacha in to get checked out. She's so old and I'm afraid of all the stuff they're going to tell me about her. :( I'm scared to find out what needs to be done.
So I went to the place I'm housesitting and cleaned it up a bit. We went to the office so Sam could pick up the linkLINE van so we could clean out a storage unit. I took Sam's car back to his place. We waited for Tony and headed over to clean out the storage unit. Once we dropped everything off at Sam's, we went through some of the boxes. I've taken some of his cds he had packed away. ;) Right now I'm listening to INXS! I love them! I'm a total 80's freak! :D David showed up after he got off of work and we checked out some disturbing military links online. Tony decided to ditch us for a party while Sam, David, Erin and myself went to the movies. We went and saw Dodgeball and The Terminal. I thought Dodgeball had it's moments. But my brother explained it best, you shake your head more then laugh during the movie. The Terminal was good. I mean it wasn't a Tom Hanks "Best Ever" movie. But he did a good job. I drove home and crashed HARD!
Today after church I ran a couple errands. Brian and I went to take Megan and Bailey to see Around the World in 80 Days, which was a really cute movie. Gosh I've watched too many movies this week!
I've been really wanting to get back into journaling again. Not like blogging, because knowing that people read this I can't share my deepest fears, thoughts, desires etc. I miss being able to open up completely. I've actually had a hard time with my blog when I found out that people have been reading it just to make fun of me. But as my wise friend Marc once told me, that's the price we pay for being open about our thoughts. Though to be honest it has stifled my posts. Knowing certain people are reading that I never intended on reading this has made me hold back, but I guess that's something I'm still working through. I can't change who I am just because I know people are reading this. Then I would be fake. And I have not been phony but I have kept some things that are weighing on my heart out of my posts for others' sake. I believe I have made a decision to change that. :)
Well my eyes are going cross-eyed and I need to go wash off my makeup and get ready for bed.
Good night!
