Jack Frost Visits Florida

Was thinking today of all the things I have to do before I can move. Not things like sorting and crap but financial things. Like I have the taxes I have to pay on the condo before I go and my car insurance will be do again before I go too. Together they are almost a thousand dollars. I really need to get something done about the floors as well…not to mention the window that needs replaced. Ugh. Seems like there is always more things to do then money to do it with.

I did shampoo out my car today using my little green machine. I had to clean up Baxter’s throwup but I also spilt a huge glass of soda on my way home from Arby’s today on the passenger side floor so had to clean that up too. It took awhile to get it all done – figured I might as well armor all the inside while I was at it so did that too. Couldn’t believe how dirty things were.

Got just about everything on my list done today – only thing left is to vacuum upstairs and I’ll do that tomorrow before work. I’ve started letting Simon outside so I’m going to get rid of the litter box tomorrow as well. I know there is a chance that he’ll disappear like Bosco and Jasper did but it is one I will have to take because I can’t stand that litter box anymore. I doubt he’ll go far – he usually stays close to home right now and doesn’t stay out long at all. He does seem to like going out though so it is a good thing.

I closed up the house and turned on the heater a bit ago. It was down in the 40’s inside which was too cold. It is the first time I’ve had to turn on the heat this winter. I went out and covered my jade plant – should probably cover others but it is the one that is the most important. I imagine the others will all be fine – they have survived frosts every year so far. Some of them are really beautiful and won’t be after it is cold but they will grow again over the summer. The frost always knocks them back quite a bit. These are plants that I have had up north too so I know they will be alright.

Tried calling Wayne three times today but haven’t gotten a response from him. Imagine he is at work. Wrote to my sister too but she hasn’t written back yet – I can check my internet on my phone but can’t write back.

I had really hoped I’d get whatever I needed from Verizon to make my internet work in the mail today but I didn’t. They are suppose to be sending me a new modem thingy. Was hoping I’d be back on the internet by now. Tomorrow I start back to work for the next four or five days – depending on what OT I’ve been signed up for. Though I do like my job, I don’t ever look forward to that first day back…don’t know why.

I’m afraid I did worse on my medicine this past month then any other month yet – forgetting to take it half the month. I had 16 days worth left over at the end of the month – I don’t know how it is possible but I did. I’m most concerned about the blood pressure medicine and wonder if that is why I’ve had such bad headaches this past month. Would imagine it is.

As far as the depression meds go – I actually have felt better so am wondering if I should start weaning myself back on the dosages. I’m sure a lot of that is because I’ve been busy walking every day with Baxter – exercise releases the same chemical the medicine does. If I’m going to keep up the exericse, I can probably cut back on the Wellbutrin anyway.

With the exercise has come another benefit – I’ve lost some weight. While sorting clothes I tried on a few pairs of shorts and pants that were a size smaller then what I wear now and they actually fit. Some pairs, obviously, better then others depending on their style but it was still very nice to see that I had lost a little. Hope to lose a lot more this month.

Tomorrow we will hit the park again for our morning walk and then take a shorter one when I get off tomorrow night. Friday and Sunday are 12 hr days so we will walk around home those two days. Hmmm…maybe I should stay around home the whole time so Baxter won’t throw up in my nice clean car…
