Takin' Care of Business

I have been ridiculously busy lately. I have had to deal with a bunch of stuff at work, go car shopping (have to get a new one in the next WEEK), find a ceiling fan for my very hot bedroom, do the family bonding thing, get stuff together to go back to school, and file a lawsuit. AH. BUSY!

But, I'm enjoying it. Last night I got the last of my things out of my old apartment (I had left stuff there for the girl who was subletting) so that will be resolved this week. I filed the lawsuit on Friday, now I just have to wait for the court date. Work is mostly under control.

Richard and I had a good weekend. He got all cheesy when we went shopping at home depot for stuff for my house, and that of course led to the "when we eventually have *our* house..." talk, which of course led to the "what are we going to do if Richard goes to medical school far away?" talk, which is of course a big issue. And honestly, in the long run, I'd follow him. For the first time in my life, I'm in love with someone who makes me happier than anyone else ever has. I'm not going to let that go because of medical school. I'll adapt, I'll make it work, and I'll be there.

I wrote a letter to Netflix today talking about their issues with closed captioning. I posted a copy of it on my other blog, Life Without Noise, which is all about my hearing loss. Check that out here: http://lifewithoutnoise.blogspot.com/

Back to work now, break over :) Adios!

4th of July weekend!

Amazing 4th of July Weekend!

Richard and I had arts and crafts night Friday night. We went to Michaels and got markers, crayons, coloring books, craft kits, felt posters and more, and went home, put on pajamas and colored and crafted until we fell asleep. Seriously one of the best date nights I've had in a long time.

Saturday, we woke up late, got pancakes for breakfast, then ran a couple of errands. Richard had to go get his TB test checked at Mission Hospital, and I had to renew my car registration. Once home, we packed up and went down to the harbor for dinner and playtime on the boat.

On Sunday, we woke up somewhat early, made breakfast with Richard's parents, and lazed around on the boat. The champagne was flowing, the sun was shining, and I was a happy camper. I did the water wars for one round (Richard went 4 times). The fireworks display was beautiful this year - much more coordinated and elaborate than the last couple years. I was happy to be snuggled up next to my Richard on the boat to watch the fireworks. Being with him makes me feel like everything is right with the world.

Monday we got out of bed late, got lunch at Carlos' Restaurant, which is always an experience. The food is sooo good, but the service is generally terrible. Oh well. We went to the mall to switch out my again-malfunctioning phone, and wandered around for a while. We went into Sephora and smelled a bunch of different colognes for Richard. Monday night I went home around 9, planning on doing laundry, and instead passed out. It was kinda nice though, and I stayed in bed till 8 am.

Back to work today, slightly sunburnt but very very happy :-)
