Thursday: my get well kit

Well, my intestines had a good day. and I saw Jess's comment from yesterday, and figured we had gotten some sort of food poisoning. My guess is the beans, although Clay had those too and I don't know if he had any problems. But then I got home. And I suddenly had to go to the bathroom every ten minutes. :(

We threw out all the expired medicine about a month ago, which meant there wasn't any pepto. So Ben lovingly went and got me some, along with a few other things to make up my "get well kit."

On a funnier note, I received this e-mail at work today. I think it's hilarious because it is one of those out-of-office e-mails that you get only AFTER you send an e-mail. I guess I kind-of understand what he's trying to do, but I kind of doubt that it will work...

"I will be Out of the facility, returning Monday (August 3rd). Please send me only essential E-mails."

Wednesday: misc

This week has been going pretty well. However, I've also been rather tired. I don't think I've quite recovered from last weekend. It was a ton of fun, but I was a little short on sleep. I also had another toe appointment yesterday. I was there for way too long compared to when my appointment was and how long I was with the doctor, but he was apparently really excited about how well my toes are doing. We also went to play mini-golf last night with our Bible Study which was fun.

Today I had some intestine problems all day, which was weird because having such problems usually happens once and then goes away.

Weekend: camping

We went camping this weekend with people from our Bible Study. It was tons of fun! The weather was nice. The first night was a nice campfire and talk. Then we ended up getting up rather early (thanks Aaron) so after a delicious breakfast (thanks Luke) we headed to the beach area.


We played some ultimate frisbee in the sand, built some sand castles, played some volleyball, played some more ultimate, and then people went swimming. On our way home we realized that all of us were very burnt, even though we were only on the beach in the morning.

After lunch we played a frisbee golf course in the woods, which was probably one of my favorite things of the trip. It helped that Luke and I won. After that some people left, so I grabbed a nap. During dinner it started to sprinkle, so when we were done eating we packed everything up and played phase 10. The rain didn't really last long, so we didn't have to worry much about stuff getting too wet.

We played another round of frisbee golf before heading back (Ben and Heidi beat Luke and I by 1 point this time).

Overall, a great weekend.

Tuesday: where's the bathroom?

(It was tighter than it looks)
(It's a complicated story)

Monday:

Sometimes I annoy myself. It's the worst.

Sunday: socks

Well, I can tell you that toe socks are no longer a cool item. I am wearing them now because they work well with flip-flops and I don't want to go sockless to work. I scoured the mall today looking for some, and I think I found the only two in the whole place. They were, of course, in the last place I was going to look and I was about to go to plan B.

However, they're rather ugly. Why would I want pom-poms on my socks? Luckily, they'll be easy to take out. They were also about 70% off (probably due to the pom-poms) which was perfect too.

Thursday

Hello again! Not much else is new. It is still somewhat awkward around work, but it really depends on the people too I've found. The last friend that we were waiting to find out about did keep his job, so that is exciting.

It's finally warming up over here, but it still seems to be raining quite a bit.

Tuesday: bittersweet

Layoffs were today. Ben and I still have our jobs (yay). However, a lot of people that we know and one person that we would consider an outside of work friend were laid off. I expect both of us will end up doing a lot of interacting with these people over the next few weeks which could be awkward.

I'm sure in a few days we'll be back to our normal selves, but in the meantime we're a bit bummed. We're still anxiously awaiting news on one more friend too, but he was on vacation so we haven't heard anything.

Monday

Monday, Monday.

I'm not really looking forward to tomorrow.

My toes are cold. The low tonight is supposed to be 49ºF.

Sunday

Nothing very exciting to report today. It was a nice day.

Saturday

It was a nice Saturday. I did some chores, trimmed some trees, napped, watched a movie, played some games. A pretty normal Saturday, but they sure are nice.

Wednesday: work and toes

I got more work today! I expect it'll keep me busy for a few (W-F) weeks. Yay! Ben and I proceeded to have a fairly long discussion about code and how it shouldn't be stream of consciousness (like it is currently). I plied him with questions and might try fixing it M-T if my manager thinks it is non-work related enough. (It doesn't have to be fixed, but it would help to increase my skills.) (I know that second to last sentence is weird, but it is what I meant).

I also took the wrappings off my toes. They look a lot like they did, except redder and lower. I had to wash my hair in the kitchen sink because I can't get them wet yet. It was rather awkard, but my hair is clean now.

Tuesday: rounding and toes

9:30am

Today I found myself with rounding problems. I got into work at 7:45. At 8:24 I thought to myself, it’s almost been an hour! Then I calculated the amount of time I’ve actually been here, which is 39 minutes…not even close to an hour.

It’s almost snack time! And I get to leave early!

1:15pm

Then later in the day it was 1:03. I was leaving at 3:45.

“Alright! Only two more hours!”

Or not.

4:30pm

I got my two large toenails removed. I was going to take a picture, but waited too long and now the bandages don't look so good. Both are well wrapped though :)

7:00pm

Last week I wanted to play ultimate Frisbee, and everyone was in for that since we hadn't played for a while. Then I realized that I wouldn't really be able to run because of my toes. Then it started downpouring so I couldn't even stand outside. Which ended up being ok because no one else wanted to play in the rain. We ended up going to Friendlies for ice cream. :)

Sunday: sadness

Aaron and Heather announced today that they are going to be taking a job at another church. I'm excited for their new opportunity, but will miss them a lot.

Saturday: take 2

Well, yesterday felt like a Saturday and so did today. It was nice having two Saturdays. I finished sealing the kitchen counters. It meant Flurry was stuck in our bedroom for a long time.

My first sunflower also poked it's head out over night!

Friday: no work!

Today we didn't have to work, which was wonderful. During the day, we got some chores done. Ben fixed one of the cold air returns that had been previously blocked.
At night we grilled with Dusty, Laura, Nathan, and Kate. The food was delicious! After dinner we played poker which was a lot of fun too. It was Kate's first time, which made it hard to read her but also gave the game an interesting twist.

Thursday: to-do

A to-do list showed up for Flurry today. I wish my to do list looked that fun.

Wednesday: work

Today I had enough work to do! W00t! And I know what I'm going to do tomorrow. And I get to leave work early tomorrow! It should be great!
