just spoke with gigglemom.
she had the physical therapy again today. again, her blood oxygen levels dropped dramatically when she would try to do the lightest of exercise.
i spoke with her on the phone - she was like "i can't believe how out of shape i am. this is horrible"
but i assured her that this is good that she's in the rehab and that she's going to get stronger.
and she agreed that it will be a good jumpstart for her.
i'm not going to go see her today because of my cold. i can't chance getting her sick. i feel bad because it's valentine's day and all. but she told me that it's fine (no trace of guilt) --- so hopefully i'll feel better tomorrow.
since i slept pretty much all day yesterday, i could not fall asleep for the life of me last night.
what time did i finally fall asleep?
6:30AM.
dog woke me up at 10:30am. (she also played a part in keeping me awake that late as well though. whining, barking and kvetching. no idea why. i put her outside about 5 times and then she'd come back in and bitch at me some more. i think that she wanted me to walk her in the freezing rain/sleet/ice storm last night. sorry, kiddo, but, you get the backyard leash during the dead of night.)
i'm trying to get up the oomph to de-clutter the joint here. i just ate a bowl of chicken flavoured rice and am now slipping into a carb-o-coma. just a little nap... i shouldn't though. i need to clean.
so very tired.
(at the moment the dog is sleeping. i should start barking and whining at her)
the other day i bought Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat (after seeing a show about it on Oprah.) don't have time to read it. i should've waited till there was an audiobook (actually i haven't checked. it's doubtful that there's one yet)
• Peter Walsh
(the clutter fat book dude - if only i had a bagazijillion dollars to hire him to ransack and declutter/clean this abode)
• unclutterer.com
(Editor is also named Erin. Clutter-free Bizarro World Erin, that is.)
• unclutterer's "getting started with organizing"
yeah, i need to take a nap. i am overwhelmed by the clutter in here (maybe i'll take a photo to show you why i am fucked.)
Welcome to the YapFest (2 yapped)
Maybe Beri is wondering where GM is and she's just making sure you know that she's "missing".
So glad to hear that GM is feeling more like herself again. Sounds like her sense of humor is returning, and I'm glad she isn't hating on you anymore for sending her to rehab. For now just rest and take care of yourself, kiddo! You can clean in a day or two.
I totally understand the being overwhelmed by clutter thing. I'm really good about the house, but the basement is still overrun with all the stuff I haven't yet dealt with since I moved it all over when I got married (in 2006!). About 3 weeks ago we bought a boatload of shelving units to organize it, I got about 1/4 of the way through and then hit the wall. The last couple weeks have just been too busy. Maybe this weekend!
Sorry to hear you are sick with a cold, I came down with a nasty one over the last weekend and it's still hanging on. Get some sleep, deal with the clutter LATER! Good to hear your mom is dealing better with the rehab than originally. Too bad she won't give up her cigarettes, but I know how that goes, I smoke too. I just hope I quit before I ever get to the point of COPD or whatever its called. Do you smoke too?
