Today was a great day

Some of you may remember from previous posts that Thursdays are usually my toughest days of the week.  But, today was an exception. 

My hubby made some regular waffles last night (for dessert I guess, at my special request) and some were left over.  I woke up this morning and ate the left over waffles and they were so good.  It was a great and unusual way for me to start my day.  My day usually starts with oatmeal (which I like, but nothing beats waffles with whipped cream).

It was an unusually relaxed day at work and I managed to get out early.  I was shocked because this never happens on Thursdays.  So I was able to run a few errands...

I sped drove to LabCorp to do a pre-employment urine drug screen and got there just minutes before it closed.  I'll be moving to NC in a few months and this is a requirement for my job there.  Anyway, I forgot to hold my pee so when I got there and the attendant asked if I needed to use the bathroom I started loading up on water.  She threatened that if I didn't have to use the bathroom she would have to rip up the paperwork and I would have to request that my (future) job send another set of paperwork.  I think she was a little mad because I barely made it on time and she was ready to go home (which I totally understand).  Anyway, 2 other people came in the lab--to my relief, because this gave me time to try to pee).  I kept loading up on water as I thought about how much time it would take for it to reach my bladder.  I kept walking around and jumping hoping the pee would move down (I knew that didn't work but I did it anyway).  Finally, when it was my turn I was nervous because I still didn't have the urge to go but to my surprise I could have filled like 10 cups.  Kidding.  Ok, I know you probably didn't want to know about my urine adventures but...it was a part of my day.  I was just glad to be able to get something accomplished.  Usually, by the time I get out of work, most businesses are closed so I usually can't get much done.

Before the above adventure, on my way to the lab, I called my husband.  Well, I thought it was my husband and left a message saying I was going to the lab to get my drug test done and that I would be home soon.  After I left the message, I hung up and realized that I had left that message on my friend's voice mail and not my husband's.  I called her back and left a message explaining that I was not a drug addict, it was for a pre-employment screen.  So, she calls me back a few hours later cracking up.  She said that at least it wasn't some kind of "sex talk" message that I left on her phone.  We both cracked up then came up with ideas of what those possible messages could have been.  It was hilarious.  I guess I need to be more careful about who I'm calling and leaving messages for. Ha!

Anyway, I finally got home and did a P90X  video. Hubby partially joined me but really wasn't into it since he did an hour of cardio earlier in the day.  He quit midway and got started on dinner.   We ate then hung out with the doggies a bit.  I sang or tried to sing to my husband (standing in our living room acting as if I'm on stage and using a decorative ornament as my microphone).  I'm bad with lyrics to songs so while the music was playing I was singing random words to songs that I should know the words to (since they are some of my favorite songs).  My husband watched and smiled in disbelief.

Today was a great day :)

Dear Thursday

You suck!


What can I say?  I'm human (I think). LOL

Dear Thursday, thanks for improving this week.

Enjoying life at Garden of the Gods in Colorado
I can't believe I'm saying this but, Thursday, you are not too shabby. For a while there I was hating strongly disliking you. Today you are less stressful compared to other Thursdays this summer.

Thank goodness my workload has gone back to normalcy. I'm actually writing to you without feelings of anger and resentment--have not had that in a long time. It feels good and I am savoring the moment.

I don't feel as stressed today and I actually got home at a reasonable time. Also, I can go running and not have you on my mind the entire time. I can think about something more fun or constructive. YES!

By the way, my husband and dogs thank you for improving because now their lives are better since I'm less grouchy.  We all hope this is a trend for future Thursdays.

Dear Thursday...I'm so mad at you, I've had enough

My original title was going to be "Dear Thursday... Why Do I Hate You So Much" but I felt that this was a little too harsh.  Hate is a very strong word, so I decided to go with something more gentle.  I am a positive person overall and I try to keep a positive attitude (usually) but I'm human.

Since mid-July I have been disliking you Thursday.  You see, my relationship with you is one of love/hate well, love/dislike I guess.  I'm glad when you arrive in part because you are so close to my best friend Friday.  When I see you coming I get excited initially, then...you know what happens.

I've figured out that I started giving you the cold shoulders when my workload at the job got heavier.  I have been getting home late, not keeping my promise of eating well, cooking dinner, and staying active.  Even our dogs know when it's Thursday...they know it's backoff day.

Thursday, I am so mad at you that I almost did not write this post.  I almost waited for Friday, but I figured I would have been more calm by then and would forget to write.

I'm hoping that you will be better in the future, but for now I'm going running so that I can try to get over my anger towards you.

Addendum: Today you are not so bad because I have two more followers--yippiee!
