Two Days Later

I'll be making an announcement of my new business venture soon. But, I had to share what I've been working on for the last two days.

On Sunday night I bought a new shelving unit, 25 small bins, and 2 large bins.

Tuesday, I went back to the store to buy 5 more bins, 2 more large bins, a crate, and three large bins with small drawers. 

I had eight boxes of inventory to sort and organize.

A friend texted me Sunday night saying "Hopefully I will wake up to fun pictures" and I responded "You better, I don't want to spend forever on this. LOL" 

Ha. Ha. Ha.

It took WAY longer to finish than I even thought possible. But, it's mostly done now and I can exhale.

I still have a few more bins to go buy, but here is what heaven, I mean, my inventory, looks like:

And now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go take a nap. For 20 hours.

I've Still Got It

I've been helping serve dinner at the shelter almost every month for a little over a  year now, I think, with my church. They also help out with a cold night shelter in the winter, which I volunteered a few times with this past winter. Basically, a local church offered their gym space when the temp gets below a certain number for a few hours at night. But, local churches and other companies, will come set up the cots and blankets before the homeless people arrive via a bus from the main shelter.

Well, one of the first times I worked there, I met a really cute guy that worked with the shelter. I'm not sure how old he is, but he noticed my eyes within the first few minutes of us talking. He was very flirtatious and started calling me "Eyes". Every time I would volunteer, I would see him, and he would immediately grab anyone around to tell them to come look at my eyes! Lol (They are cool. :-) )

The next time I volunteered at the shelter to serve dinner, I saw him there and ever since, we make small talk, and he'll tell everyone to look at my eyes.

Well, Sunday, when I arrived he noticed me and I said "Hey, look! It's your favorite time of the month" and he laughed and said "it actually is". Lol

Before, I left, he handed me a post it note with his information on it, but before I could read it, I accidentally lost it some where between the guy's car I was riding in from church, and the church. Oops!

I came home and told NYEBoy I still had it and he better be careful. LOL He didn't think it was quite as funny as I did. ;-)

Someone Was Sleepy

I went to bed around 11 last night, in hopes that I would wake up around 7 or 8.

Ha.

Ha.

Ha.

Apparently, I was tired, because when NYEBoy tried to wake me up at 4 PM! to go to dinner, I could barely wake up.

The only reason I made myself get up, instead of sleeping straight through the night, is that I knew I would most likely wake up around midnight and I needed to get a shelving unit and bins, and there is no way I am going by myself in the middle of the night to the store.

I haven't felt that exhausted in a long, long time!

Busy Weekend

It's been a busy weekend.

Friday we went to see Ruby Sparks. It was a really good movie, but we had a difference of opinions on the ending. If you see it, and want to hear the discussion we had, feel free to e-mail me. (I'd really like to see if I am alone in my thoughts!)

Saturday morning I went to church to help with canning for our holiday bazaar. It's something I really enjoy doing. It's another time for me to get my inner granny out. :-)

When I got home, I had some boxes arrive for my new business adventure, but I had to turn around and head out to lunch with NYEBoy, so I didn't get to play with them until I got back. But, when I got back, I was pretty much in heaven for about an hour. Then, I was tired and ready for bed.

My sleep has been a little messed up since I got sick. Plus, NYEBoy has been working really late lately because he's got business calls and things to take care of. We're night owls around these parts.

Today I headed in to church early to help with a few more things we weren't able to get to yesterday. After church, NYEBoy and I headed to lunch and we went to go see Sparkle. It was a really good movie. It was hard watching it knowing Whitney Houston is dead now. Such a shame, really. Such talent wasted over a drug addiction.

Jordan Sparks, Carmen Ejogo, and Tika Sumpter also had great roles. I really felt myself rooting for all of them.  I'm looking forward to seeing Carmen Ejogo in Alex Cross. Tika Sumpter also has a movie coming out next year, My Boyfriend is a Loser, but I haven't seen a trailer for that yet. Mike Epps was absolutely hysterical. If you don't go see the movie for anyone else, you have to go see it for his part. Lol  Derek Luke kind of reminded me of Sean Patrick Thomas in Save The Last Dance.

We were supposed to go see The Secret Life of Timothy Green, but NYEBoy decided he really didn't want to go see it, so I plan to go see it this week and do a review from an infertile's perspective.

Anyways, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I am heading to bed to see if I can get this sleep schedule back on track.

Struggling With Writing

I've just had a hard time keeping up with blogging lately. There are things I want to write about, things I want to share, things you probably want to hear, or maybe not. But, then I am reminded this isn't my safe place any more. My family reads my blog, which is fine, whateves, but I know I can't write truthfully about certain things bothering me without them knowing. On top of that, I have a troll or two who sends me an email telling me to get "it", whatever the it happens to be that I'm bitching about.

Let's see, about a week or two after my cycle from hell started, I ended up getting really sick with chest congestion and fever. I'm pretty sure I picked that bug up from the grimy hospital. I started medications before it got really bad, but I still had two days of 103+ fever, lost my voice, and just this week stopped needing my inhaler after house work or laughing. Of course I feel like I am getting something else, I have a lot of sinus congestion and my throat is sore, but it's not been bad enough to call the doctor yet.

Speaking of the cycle from hell, I was really hoping my cycle was going to start this week, but it hasn't yet. I was really grumpy the other day, but still nothing. I had one half day of spotting last week and I was really nervous about being pregnant right now since I just got done taking a bunch of medications for the cold, plus I'm still on the other medication that has two warning labels about birth control and back up birth control. But, so far, the BFNs tell me I am in the clear. I'm probably going to ask for some Provera next week if it doesn't start over the weekend. The thought of another massive, painful cycle like the last one is not something I am interested in.

And, speaking of TTC, it's all I can think about lately. I know we can't really be TTC because of the medication I am on, which I have to take for two months straight, but haven't managed to take the dosage correctly for that amount of time yet, so the wait continues. I need to give myself a full cycle or two after I'm done with the medication before we actively start TTC again. In the meantime, I'm trying my best to stick to the low amylose diet.

I have a couple of interesting things coming up at the end of this month, but I'll have to wait just a little longer to share that.

Well, I hope all is well with everyone. Do you have anything interesting planned for the weekend?
