I’ve got a pocket full of sunshine...

That's what the song says, anyways. I think I should change the lyrics so they apply to me. A pocket full of hormones. They effect me in every way, both physically and emotionally. This heat is not helping either. At work the last couple of nights, I am so dang hot I just sit in front of the fan with my sore, swollen feet up. It is so hard to drag myself up to do my job...which for the first part of my shift means taking care of medications and helping out wherever I am needed. Sometimes it is really slow and I find myself bored, and other times I don't get a chance to sit down for quite awhile - depends on the night. Then later in my shift it means doing checks every hour...which involves going up and down stairs which my feet do not like. And then towards the end of my shift I do some cleaning for about 1-2 hours. Again, not something my feet are fond of. My current favorite part about this job, as far as actual job-related duties goes, is documentation. It is required, it is important, yet it is a sit-down task! Gotta love anything I can do sitting down when my feet feel like exploding.

OK - enough complaining. There are plenty of good things going on too of course. Like Kaitlyn's newest adventures. She spins herself around in circles until she gets dizzy, then stumbles around the room. And she likes it. She smiles during the whole process. What a silly goose! Andy discovered that she knows what toes are. You ask where her toes are and she grabs them. So cute! She surely knows many more words/phrases than we realize, it is just fun as we discover what exactly those words or phrases are. Also, she finally broke her 5th tooth! It is about time, let me tell you....we've been waiting for that tooth for AGES. But just like all of her teeth so far, it took forever to finally cut through.

This weekend is going to be fairly low key. Saturday will be interesting, as our cats (all 3) have a vet appointment. We go to a vet in Virginia since at the time we got our first cat, it was enough of a price difference that it was worth it to drive (not so sure anymore with gas prices the way they are these days, but oh well). Driving to Virginia with 3 cats (2 of whom will meow loudly the whole way), 2 adults (1 with a large belly sticking out in front) and a toddler will be interesting in our Taurus.
Then the rest of Saturday will probably be spent hanging out, cleaning, whatever. Nothing big. On Sunday, my parents are coming down to visit.

Oh and I am way excited to have both Monday and Tuesday off next week - that will give me plenty of time to both clean/organize (hopefully in the soon-to-be nursery) as well as get some extra rest. I hate when I only have one day off during the week, because I feel guilty if I spend it all resting, but yet there isn't enough time to both rest and get anything significant accomplished. Or maybe my expectations of myself are just too high. I guess I usually get a few small things done, and I should be happy about those things. But I always have this huge, long list in the back of my mind which inevitably does NOT get even close to finished. I guess I need to trim back my to-do list and try to view it in order of importance. After all, maybe it's not that important after all for me to re-organize the pots and pans. Not compared to the importance level of, say, doing laundry so we don't run out of things to wear. Especially me since I have limited wardrobe these days, lol.

Alright - I am done rambling. Can you tell I am bored at work? I could be doing something, but procrastination is my friend.
