I am still alive

1. I am not that sick anymore.

Oh wowzers, this week have had a terrible cold.  I have tried to ignore most of it but on Wednesday it KICKED MY BUTT.  Again, I still tried to ignore.  Thursday I woke up feeling so much better.  Today I haven't gained much progress but I am so grateful that I am not back to Thursday.

2. Holiday shopping

I am happy that I have been able to complete so much of my shopping.   It becomes a tad overwhelming at times but right now I feel like it is in control.  The one bad thing about Christmas this year -- all the boys are asking Santa for something that he is not going to give them.  Owen wants a gaming computer, Cameron wants a REAL panda and Jack wants 2 tigers (one that is green), 2 lions and then last night he added 3 bears.  WTF.  I thought I would be able to convince Jack to switch it to poop play-do.  That hasn't worked. Instead he keeps adding more animals.

3. Closer to my goal
I am getting so close to my pull up goal I can taste it.  I am using a different pull up machine which feels more comfortable to my body.  Looking forward to the day I can cross this off my bucket list.  I can. I will.

4. Time to study

I have a lot of extra time at work that I am able to study for my black belt.  One of my big goals today is to get through my next chapter in my book.  I have a ton TON to learn before I take my exam.

5.  NC

After work and school we are headed to NC to see Pat for a quick 2 day trip.  It will be nice to sit down and catch up.  Usually when I see her I am headed right back out for another trip.  Brian and Lauren will also be there with baby Grace so it should be a great weekend.
