Foiled again

I will get to watch The King's Speech... eventually.  *Le sigh

Its not to due a lack of trying. I got what I would consider a teaser preview before the disc started major skipping. Hopefully I can finish it later this week with a replacement disc.  It was really well done and I was truly enjoying the film, so I am disappointed. 

Its been a mild weekend, but tomorrow we are starting back into scheduled routine for both the boys and myself. I hope it helps with some of the issues we've all had with the transition of a big move.  To get ready for it, first thing on the agenda is more sleep for me. So that's just where I am headed.

Found it!

I, with a smidgen of help from our four year old, got a tiny dent made in our garage madness today.  And the best part of all - I found exactly what the husband and I have been looking to find for quite some time.  It was nice to be able to find a lot of different items that we actually need and/or use, for once.  We have so much stuff.  I cannot wait to get serious about the major downsizing (including a yard sale).

I am crossing my fingers and hoping I get around to watching the movie tonight. 

*Short post today...I have lots of cleaning and organizing to try to do tonight.   

Almost there...

I am glad this week is coming to an end.  A bit confused where it went so quickly, but glad it is over nonetheless.  I will be very happy to see the weekend.

I have gotten to talk with one friend and one family member over the last few days. It was nice to have just daily chitchat, catching up conversations.  And great human interaction, even if it was via the phone and skype.  At least it was something. 

I have been semi-productive today with cleaning inside the house and searching the garage.  I found some more of our dishes and a few stray items that were M.I.A..  Hopefully the husband and I will have more time this evening to search the garage for other random items (and one specific item we are looking to find). 

I just realized this, but I forgot to mention that I dyed my hair again a week ago.  I am back to all brunette.  This time its a very dark brown, even more so than my normal hair color.  I love it - - A LOT.  It's a color I will probably stick with for some time.

I have not started The King's Speech yet.  Hopefully tonight or tomorrow night.  It has just been one thing or another. 

This wraps up another day...74 days for that matter.

Sick

I'm feeling very gross today. On top of what just might be pink eye (but I hope not). Trying to rest as much as one can with two very rambunctious kids.  I do miss the days that I could sleep until noon to try and feel better.

Goal #54

So while in the most recent weeks, I don't feel I have been doing so well at my Day Zero project, I am excited to get started on my Academy Award Best Picture winners tomorrow.  I will be starting at the most recent and going backwards from there.  We finally found the runaway rogue Netflix disc that I have had since Valentine's Day (oops!) and got it sent back, so now I can get back on track with my queue.  And of course, I am starting with The King's Speech. Cannot wait! I have some other highly rated/highly suggested movies high up on my queue, so hopefully I can get those in quickly as I move on to the next Oscar winning Best Picture films.

One of those

Today is one of those days I wish I could be back in Vegas. Just so I could be there for our friends.  My heart is hurting for them and with them tonight.  Bad news is never easy or fun.

Good for the mind, good for the soul

Ah yes...finally, back to go old fashioned human connections.

We got to spend some time with friends and meeting new people today. It was really nice to be around other people, other adults for that matter.  For awhile I was able to forget the hard times and rough emotional rollercoaster. It felt great talking, joking, hanging out, and making connections with these people.  I'm so glad we had the opportunity to go to the BBQ/party and have some fun.

Only hard part is now I return to reality and every day life. I know that the solitary, hermit lifestyle appeals to someone out there, but surely its not me. Granted, I am neither living in solitude or as a hermit. The point is more that the current lack of adult interaction hurts my inner core. I am a extrovert, a social butterfly,  a people person.  My soul thrives on it. My mental health depends upon it.  I need to find a way to remedy my current "ailment" because I feel I may be close to a breaking point.  Today was the most fun I have had since the move. By far, our best day yet.  This says to me, that we need to find a way to fix this and soon.
