Kelly is hibernating for the winter.
I cannot write here everyday. I cannot look at your journals, my friends - everyday. I simply do not have enough time in my day. For awhile now I have been looking for ways to simplify my “to-do” list.
My day looks like this (M-F)
1. 4 am - yoga and strength work (can it be done at a different time of day - tried that - didn’t work so well)
2. 4:45 - 6:00: get ready for work at an almost easy pace
3. 6:17 am: leave for work
4. 7:00 - 4:00: work
5. 4:00 - 4:35: drive home
6. 4:45 - 5:00: stationary bike while watching Oprah
7. 5:00 - 5:25: iron clothes for next day
8. 5:30 - 5:45: shower
9. 6:00 - 8:30: cook/eat/relax/watch tv/make lunch for the next day
10. 8:30ish - 9:30ish: wind down/sleep
And really that is about as simplified as I can make it. I cannot take anything out of that day to give me more time. As it is I just added a chore - I am doing more laundry tonight - we have an open house on Sunday - my typical laundry day.
I promise to write here and read all my friends on the weekends.
Sorry

Since yesterday afternoon I have been in one “hormone/anti-cancer” drug driven mood swing after another. Honestly, the anti-cancer drug makes me nuts! While protecting the breasts from cancer by blocking the estrogen - the Tamoxifen floods the rest of me with more estrogen than is naturally produced - don’t ask me to explain it the GYN had to draw me a picture - I just know it happens not “why” it works this way. Scott likes to say that my mood swings are better than cancer - and I tend to agree BUT he is also on the receiving end of every single one of them.
Poor man!
Since I am unwilling to go off of the Tamoxifen I need to find a way to manage the mood swings…
I am off to google it!
Tonight I am rather annoyed. Yesterday, in a fit of “simplify my life and make it easier” I decided I would go shopping for pants that I did NOT have to iron. NO ironing = more time. During tonight’s search for pants I do not have to iron I have learned two things:
1. most of them are black - I have NO black shoes
2. most of them are much fancier than my khakis therefore do not go with the shoes I own even if I could find a brown-ish pair.
ARG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot possible buy another pair of shoes just to go with black pants or even brown pants!
And another annoying thing is that my office has turned into a furnace - my sweaters are too heavy - my summer shirts too light weight - I, for some reason, have nothing in between! I practically roasted today!
Looks like I am ironing till I die - I will be this little old wrinkled lady still ironing my khakis so I can go to work.
GRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had a easy day at work but really I cannot chat OU is playing Florida for the BCS title.

Huh?
I listened to two podcasts by him today - I listened to each of them multiple times and still didn’t understand what he said but I did really like his British accent.
No time today to listen to Andrew Bird - was busy on “special projects”
I had a giant long entry but it was all about work and it was too hard to discuss work without letting on to where I work….
So you will just get me rambling…..
Another practically sleepless night - although there was a dream with Scott and I and John McCain (no we weren’t nekkid) we were at some kind of an airshow looking at helicopters. WEIRD. Why couldn’t we have been fighting a space battle - that would have been uber cool.
Today went well though - started off with some strong coffee and more of that Andrew Bird album (see post before last or so for album title - it has the word “egg” in it) Love the album and the singer more everyday.
Another good day eating and being healthy. That is my goal - be healthy!
Well dinner won’t heat itself!
Another work day another few dollars in the bank. As I have said many times before without my IPOD I would go bonkers. I did enjoy work very much today - but only because I got to listen to Andrew Bird’s album over and over again. (see the entry before last for album title). It’s different but not in a bad way - just different and the more I listened to it the more I got out of it.
I am working very hard on being healthier and cutting back on the sugary stuff. I even turned down cake today at work.
I didn’t get much sleep last night (I was fighting space battles in my head all night) so I am pretty tired.
Good night my friends
I had a nice surprise today - no, I had a wonderful surprise today.
I had just settled into Scott’s ultra-comfy leather chair - picked up the Star Wars book I checked out from the library - when my cell phone rang.
The caller ID doesn’t work anymore so I just answered it.
And
Immediately knew it was “M”
I haven’t heard “M”s voice in years - many many years.
With her was “D” - her ex and now her friend.
10 years ago or so I served with “D” in the Navy. D and M and I had some great and crazy times as I recall (they may or may not have involved alcohol ((wink)).
It seems they had been tracking down some of the friends that had drifted away - found my parent’s address - looked them up internet style - called my Dad who promptly gave them my number and next thing I knew we were talking for almost an hour. (Author’s Note: Don’t freak about my Dad giving out my number - he recognized that M knew a lot about me and wasn’t selling anything)
It was so great talking to them both and seeing the photos they had sent. I, of course, sent them a couple of photos of Scott and I.
I am still amazed that they found me (not that I was hiding) and am so happy that we have reconnected. I plan on staying in close contact with both of them.
