Irony...

Want some?
So I just posted about writing blog posts and deleting....then I noticed this "draft".

Inspiration...I need some of that. life is great being a newlywed, but to be perfectly honest. It is weird.
Not weird with Chris, just weird in general. No one tells you how you will feel after the wedding. You are on such a high that it seems nothing can get you down. Then after the night is over...something changes.

There should be a support group for newlywed wives. Is it because Chris and I lived together and already made a home together that this funk exists? Would it be different if I did not have oodles of time on my hands? I am not sure, but I am sure this is part of it.

I have tried immersing myself in projects to keep me occupied, but nothing has been completed for various reasons. Frankly I am tired of feeling this way. Maybe I should be thankful for going back to work on Monday...in fact, I think that is just what I need. Back-breaking activity...Monday and Tuesday are sure to supply this.

Ironic "back breaking" activity is definitely what I got...good news, just started physical therapy!

long weekend

Thank goodness this is a long weekend. I have felt so uninspired as of late and rather "ho-hum" about the every day routine. I have written a few posts then deleted before publishing as a way to get it out without airing all my dirty laundry.

So this long weekend is going to be a turning point. Overwhelmed with the miles of tasks I need to complete, and the ones I simply want to complete piling up, the time has come to take some action. "Inches not miles" has become my mantra and a way to occupy sleepless nights {which is a whole other related/unrelated issue}.

Why is it so difficult to balance the "have to do's" and the "want to do's"?

What do you do when you have truly bitten off more than you can chew? The plate is too full?

I am not a list maker, I typically do not get excited about crossing off a task...usually I make a list and then am still working on it. yeah still working on that ole list...until I eventually throw it away and start another one.

So this weekend, I am making a list...I plan to throw it away on Monday evening and abandon what is left and not feel guilty...Happy holiday weekend to me!

in the swing of things.

I love a project, hence why I love wedding planning so much. I get so involved in the task at hand that everything else is just second fiddle to my new devotion. I decided to spend one day and give it all that I had to get things in order for a new year. Unfortunately, I over did it. I figured that the achy feelings would subside with some rest. I had a deadline for the aches and pains to go away, and well they decided to stick around. I find my self in a similar but different predicament as last year.

So it really sucks. Yes. I had another epidural. Even though last year I got really nauseous, this one was much worse, no nausea, just pain during the procedure. I feel like I did so well managing my pain last year that this was all that I needed. Hmmm. not so much. Long story short, and a copay to my general doctor, oral steriods and some PT on on the list of "to-do's" and hopefully and the very bottom is a visit to a or a few surgeons.

The good news is that I am most comfortable at work. I get up early since I cannot sleep as well and am working late. Laying around is not so good for a herniated disc.

I plan to keep very busy this weekend doing light house work and some much needed organizing. I have been so absent from blogging and reading blogs that I am ready for some thing inspiring. And I know I still need to post some wedding pics. It was all so exciting 2 months ago, and now I really just need a break from anything "wedding". How strange that it can change so fast.

where oh where...

has summer gone?

I know the warm weather is not officially over, but I do have to say good-bye to afternoon naps, watching movies anytime of the day or night, sleeping in with Frankie {my kitty}, ahhh

As much as I am going to miss being off work, I am glad that I am going back to a schedule...welcoming the familiar and meeting the new. Hmmm.

I can sum up my prediction for tomorrow in one word...CRAZY.

Guess I better go pack my lunch and pick out my outfit for the first day of school!
