The Weekend

all in all the weekend was really good... i did some yoga on saturday morning... relaxed saturday afternoon and sunday... i got everything done that i needed to do on saturday afternoon/evening so i just relaxed on sunday... i've got to go to the store tonight after work but i would really like to try to finish painting the flag so that i can antique it... i would really like to get it hung this weekend... it seems i've been dragging it out forever! i would also like to get the leaves in the back yard picked up before it rains or something... they are everywhere!! plus, i don't know if the "backyard" kitties like the leaves or not.. it makes it harder to sneak up on the others... one more reason, the leaves won't get tracked into and all over the house... that might be a little challenge though because by the time i get home it's getting dark... maybe this weekend... we'll see...
poor r, i felt bad for him this weekend... he's been feeling bad, his throat and ears have been hurting... i think the flu shot might have made him feel worse... the flu shot was kinda harsh this year... several people felt lousy on thursday and friday... my boss pays for any employee who wants to get one and then the office people's spouses... it's really nice of him... preventive maintenance is the best kind... he was feeling so bad sunday when he woke up that i took him out to clinic care... they gave him some antibiotics so i stopped on the way back home and got them filled for him... i can only imagine how bad he was feeling since he went to the dr...
i'm excited- i get to go see mary this friday for an hour massage!!! the friday before thanksgiving... that will be nice!! my goal is to do yoga at least 2 times this week but hopefully 3 (before i go see mary!)...
on a really positive note though... this is the last "full" week we work before thanksgiving!! actually, it's the last full week we'll work in november... after that we only have 4 more weeks until our winter vacation... YEAH!!! that's something to look forward too!! i just hope the weather starts acting like it's this time of year... it's so hard for me to get into the holiday spirit when it's in the 60's or 70's...
one more thing... the growth on my wrist... well, it kept growing and growing... it looked kinda like a volcano... the top of it was kinda turning black... oh yuck!!! r and i were talking yesterday and i was examining it and was thinking about lancing it open.... for some gross reason i wanted to see what was inside... i thought it might be less painful to have r smash it though.... he got a lid from a wooden box that daddy had made me and an old belt for me to bite on... i was so nervous i threw up... me being so nervous made him nervous... it might have been kinda funny to be an observer... maybe! ok, so he hits it... really lightly... i was like, um, you're going to have to hit harder than that... he hit it a few more times and i kept mashing on it in between the hits... (it wasn't as bad as this probably sounds- he wasn't beating me!) it hurt so bad but it hurt to even just lightly put pressure on it so i wasn't too surprised that it hurt so bad! the last time i was mashing on it i felt it burst... that almost made me throw up... feeling whatever was inside it oozing out... oh yuck!! r "massaged" it out with his thumb for me because there was no way i could/would do it... we watched it just disappear... the spot on my wrist is still sensitive but not near as bad as it was... it's gone for now though... yes!!
