Back to work

We’ve had a lively few weeks with trips to see the family and a very fun convention in Charlotte, NC.  Now we’re easing back into the routine.  I’m hoping to get some work done around the house this weekend.  If the Woobs doesn’t find too many things for us to do, that is.

Requested updates!

Hey guys!  I am alive.  I’ve been using Facebook (Jennifer Bullwinkel Kuntz) for most of my updates.  I’ve been busy with a work trip last week, and going to see the Keed this weekend. We have two days of work and then a trip to ConCarolinas over the weekend.

We’re doing well and having fun.  And I hope everyone reading here is the same.

I need a haircut

I’ll probably go on Saturday and take the Woobs so he can get a backrub from the massage lady.  We also will be doing some crafty stuff and work around the house over the weekend. It’s nice to get a little break after the recent tight schedules.

Keeping busy

We’re keeping busy with work and hobbies.  I’m hoping we’ll have a few quiet weeks now to do the work around the house we need to in order to get our home visit out of the way for our foster parenting certification.  Now I need to light a fire under the Woobs.

Birthdays were had, and party-time, too

So we had a lovely party with many friends.  Some of them stayed overnight and we had a nice breakfast and a lille walk in the AM.  The hope is that the foam sword folks will come over the last weekend of the month for a little mini-event at chez us.

I completely cluttered up my sewing room in clearing out other rooms for party guests, so the current project is uncovering the room again.  Maybe tomorrow…

Things to do

I kind of had a panic attack and lost a good two hours of sleep last night (and this was even when I went to bed slightly early).  I kept thinking about all the looming stuff I have to do and keep putting off, so I’m going to start by making a list here so I know what I have to do.

1.  Laundry
2.  Clean up bedroom/den
3.  Clean up spare/child’s bedroom
3 1/2.  Carpet tiles and baseboard for this room
4.  Make appointment with Social Services
5.  New locks
6.  Fire extinguisher
7.  Check fire alarms
8.  Clean up craft room
9.   LARP costumes and masks
10. LARP pouches and sword frogs
11.  Costuming for Woobs
12.  Costuming for Jester
13.  Work clothes resizing
14.  Cat box hidey-hole
15.  Clean guest bathroom
16.  Organize sheds
17.  Prepare garden
18.  Deck furniture
19.  Pergola or awning for deck
20.  Fence for yard

That’s enough for now.  Looks like it’s going to be a busy year.  Now if I can only get enough sleep.
 

Back in the general direction of the saddle

So…the Dr. says my blood O2 is good and she cleared me to go back to work.  This is good as I have been very much a couch slug for the past five days.  I celebrated by getting groceries and tidying up the garden.  Next project is to organize the 2009 bills and tax stuff.

Lovely day.   We got buckets of rain last night and the lake is VERY full.  But  it’s warm-ish and sunny so the cats and I are enjoying an afternoon of open windows.

Reason 3,565 I love the Woobs

This is a little hard story to read.  It was certainly hard to live, so I’m going to put it behind a cut.  It’s a story of my very kind Wooby and an injured animal.  If you want to read more, go ahead and click.

So we wound up taking two separate cars to gaming last night.  And as we were driving home, we got about five miles from the house (still on the highway) and I noticed a dog struggling away from the traffic onto the side of the road.  Obviously some car in front of us had hit it, but they hadn’t stopped.  I hate to see an animal like that, so I flashed my lights and the Woobs (who was in the truck in front of me) pulled over at the shopping center.  I told him about the dog (I was pretty soggy at this point) and he had me jump in the truck and we went back to look.
