Out of the house...

Our little family decided it needed to get out of the house and away from the TV for a little while today, after a morning of sleeping in and watching HGTV, so we ventured over to Lake Zorinsky for a walk. Wow, I forgot how long it takes to get around that thing when you're going so slow! It was hot, too, so Ryker pooped out quickly...

I received my official acceptance letter to the University of Missouri Graduate program this week, so phew, I'm in.  Not that I was worried, but...  You never know.  I generally just figure I can do anything, so one of these days, I'm sure I'll be unpleasantly surprised. :)  Hopefully not anytime soon.  Huh, I sound smug.  Oh, well.

Going a bit stir-crazy.  I've been home for 6 days now (well, 5 if you don't count the day in the hospital), and haven't done squat.  Today has been a bit more active - helped the hubby fix the gate on our fence, weeded my veggie garden, started some laundry.  Can't tell if the exhaustion I'm feeling right now is the result of exertion or lack of calories.  The DH says I've lost some weight already but I don't see it.  And I bet the scale wouldn't see it either - the weight has probably just shifted to my fat face.

I miss dancing.  I miss eating.  I miss smiling.  Not really missing work at all yet...doubt that will set in.  But still - I really dislike this break from life.  Obviously, I'm not missing whining, huh?  :P  I'll stop.  Need to clean up a room, or make something, or read, or prepare for my summer class that starts this weekend...

School's out!

I finished my first semester of library school today!  Woo-hoo!  Now a two week break before my summer class starts...  I got a letter in the mail week before last saying that I have been "recommended for admission" but that the official decision hadn't been handed down yet...  Pretty sure that means I'm in though. :) 
In other exciting news, I'm days away from being put under anesthesia and having my face sawed apart.  Fun!  My jaw surgery is Thursday, so I'm trying to wrap up as much work-wise, dance-wise, home/garden-wise and volunteer-wise as I can before then.  Tonight I'm going to set up my "command center" on the nightstand - move a power strip so I can have my laptop and cd player close by, stack my books and projects within reach, and see if we need more pillows.  I put a bunch of audio books on reserve at the library, so those will be picked up tomorrow night, including another David Sedaris... I bet my dear sweet husband will be thrilled!  (Last week before Ha Ha Tonka! I made him and my brother listed to part of "When You Are Engulfed In Flames" and I thought they were going to hurt me...but it's so funny!)
Better get moving - going to dance for a bit...while I still can.
