I'm an Ageist

I found myself in an interesting situation yesterday.  I had gone to my doctor's again for a follow up since my headaches have not gone away.  On occasion, I have had new doctors or doctors in training or whoever come in and talk to me.  I don't have a problem with it.  I figure two doctors are better than one even if one is a newbie.  Anyway, this happened yesterday and I had absolutely no confidence in this new doctor.  And the reason was because he looked sooooo young and I think another reason is because he didn't look the part of a doctor.  How judgmental of me!  Seriously, I need to stop because I'm only going to get older and they are most likely only going to get younger - kinda like officiating.  I think this was the first time that I was 100% sure that I was older than my doctor.  Not that it should matter.

So here I am sitting at home for like the 12 day in a row.  I'm on vicodin and was told to do absolutely nothing for the next few days.  I should be happy that I have a legitimate excuse not to go to work, but I want to be there.  I want to get stuff done and it's killing me.  There is so much to do and I'm just upset that I'm disappointing people.  Blargh!

Childhood reboot

Look what I found at Costco. Another childhood flashback! I remember having the same drawing kit when I was a kid. It wasn't project runway, but the silhouettes were the same. I loved that thing.

What a rough life these two have.

Let there be light part 2

The hubster and I put the light up last night. It was pretty easy, but it hurt lol. I was holding the light up over my head and the hubster had to spend a lot of time screwing things in over his head. But it was all worth it! I looks amazing.

$86 light
$12 conversion kit
$2 wire connectors

Easy DIY project

Black Friday

This Black Friday was kind of a disappointment.  I think it's because the hubster and I have no need for the usual items for sale.  How many vacuums and drills can one household need?  I think another contributing factor was that I shopped a lot prior to Black Friday as a stress relief the week before.  So what did I do last night?

I met up with my friend Caroline to pick up some $5 fleeces at Old Navy for our lacrosse team.  The plan is to embroider them and sell them to our team for cheap (probably the cost of the fleece).  Since I was out, I decided to stop in at Kohls.  I saw that the line was pretty long when I drove past on my way to Old Navy.  I went in and the cash register line was insane!  I walked around the store and picked up everything I wanted and got into line.  I stood there for 15 minutes and it did not move!  I decided it was not worth it to stand in line for an hour plus to buy some cheap sheets.  I dropped the items off in a corner on top of some boxes and went home to go to bed.

I woke up the next morning and headed out to try again hoping the line would be shorter.  I walked in and walked over to the corner where I left my stuff and it was still there!  Score!  I hopped into a much shorter line and 15 minutes later I was out of there.  Next, I headed over to Macy's to see if there was anything I could get and use a $10 off coupon.  No luck there or in the rest of the mall.

Last stop was to Home Depot to pick up some wire connectors.  I was home by 11 and just in time for a delivery.  Overall a very uneventful Black Friday.  I think I'll be staying home to work on some things around the house for the rest of the weekend.
