Ack!

Sheesh! So much happening & yet I feel like time is going by so very slowly. *sigh*

Let's see...what all's been going? Well, I got really, really lucky & found a dining set at a garage sale that was FREE!!! Yes, you heard me right. :D It's not in awesome shape, but it's still sturdy & will do me for now. Seems like everything is just falling into place. Hallelujah! :)

I move in on Friday. I've got just about everything I need. There's a few things I need (garbage cans...oy), but at this point it's mostly decorative stuff and things. I'll know more when I finally get into the apartment. It's at that point where I think I know all that's going on, but I'm sure I'm missing something. *sigh*

I was laid up last week. A week ago Friday my right hip...did something weird. By Tuesday I was in absolute agony. :( So, I went into Urgent Care & had them look at it. They took x-rays and all, but couldn't find anything wrong with it. But, the doctor put me on an anti-inflammatory and gave me a pass for work Weds-Fri. So, I basically did nothing. It sucks, but I feel MUCH better today. The anti-inflammatory knocks me out, so I've dropped to taking it just once a day instead of twice.

I'm so excited and SO glad to be getting out of my parents house. I can't even begin to tell ya. So, at this point it's just waiting for Friday. I'm getting off at noon. I've gotta go to the bank to get out the funds, go get a money order, take it in, sign my lease & get my keys. My SIL offered to come over after work on Friday to help me with the small stuff. My brother and at least one guy from work are helping me on Saturday with the big stuff. I'm so lucky that I've got people who'll be able to help me.

I haven't had to buy household stuff/groceries in years, so my mom's going with me for my first foray. I just know I'm going to forget something if I don't have someone with experience with me. :) I have so many things I want to learn how to do cooking-wise. I've got a couple of great cookbooks, a George Foreman Grill & a CrockPot. If I can't keep myself fed...well, I'm screwed. lol

Anything else? Hmm...I don't think so. Just have to start packing up this week after work. I'm so glad I've got a lot of decorative baskets and such already, so I won't have to worry too much about storage. It's just getting the stuff to the house. Blech!

I'm listening to this musical group my dad told me about. I don't really know how to describe what type of music they are, but all I can say is wow. Kind of bluegrass, but also popish as well. They harmonize like whoa. The group is called Wailin' Jennys and the CD is Bright Morning Star. There's one song that's completely acapella that is amazing. I can sing, but not like this. I'm just in awe.

And now I'm off. Want to just chill for awhile before going into work tomorrow. The BIG boss is in town, so yeah. Anyhoodles...later! :)
