It is what it is

Watching an old episode that I missed earlier. Only 11 weeks left of school, 7 before Amanda is home for the summer and 2 until DC! I hate Doctor offices. Called for refills on my Advair as I have been gasping for breath when I do the 44 stairs at school...well, I need a physical...Just was there in October. Do the look at your insurance and decide how often you need to come in. $$$ cha ching! Oh, I need blood work, oh i need a chest x-ray, EKG, breathing test......NOT! Need a new Dr. Piano lesson tonight, recital was 90%...why can't we have do-overs????? Watching Grey's now...season finale???? All new music in piano....jeeze I am sooo ADD....alll over the board. Amanda you would love the make-up factor for Grey's tonight. Bell Festival was ok last weekend. Love Lansing. Difficulty sleeping with others in my room...thanks for Ambien. Festival part was ok. Broke my engagement ring, either $250 for a new band or $15 for a quick fix that won't last. Sin...

Furnace finally fixed...good thing because we are under a winter storm warning....snow, rain, ice, thunder, what did I forget? Warned to leave early tomorrow morning so we won't be late for work...what are we 2? So unprofessional! Casey is much better. Amanda is back in AZ, back to classes, has a job, looking forward to Spring Break, going to DC, Jessica's surgery is over, Brian has started new job, Andrew is traveling and busy, Matt is coming home this weekend, bell festival in Lansing is this weekend, recital is Sunday, accepted the insurance position for the union for my building. New car broke the antenna that is on the roof when the garage door did not go up all the way, and the tire pressure light is on. House across the street from the school blew up on Sat., movie shoot is tomorrow and I can't understand the politics of Michigan. It is what it is. Oh, btw, furnace is not working!

Beautiful day today....57. Flowers are starting to poke through and the snow is finally melting. Watching Detroit 187...hope that is survives another season. Amanda is in Washington DC with Emily at Andrew & Brian's. Jealous of the weather. Enjoy being there so much. Booked a trip for April 15-23. Be home for Easter Sunday. Work going a little better. Enjoyed Matt being home this weekend. Never enough time. Casey had a trauma on Monday, had a puncture wound on her paw, thought she caught a nail and ripped it. Could not stop the bleeding. Had to take the day off, last minute and take her to the vet. Back tomorrow to have the bandage off and the cone. Feel so bad for her. The pain meds make her sleep. Starting PT again on Monday next. Hope this is the last round. So time consuming. Too much going on with funding, budget, Lansing, benefits....stop and get normal. Is there ever a normal in my life?????......it is what it is. Major earthquake in Japan follow...

In the bleak mid-winter. This is the time of year you think it will never end. We had a tease of spring and being in Phoenix a week ago did not help. It has been snowing since 5:00 and my tire tracks in the driveway from 8:00 are now buried at 11:00 pm. Still coming and we were supposed to get 2-4 inches. All the old melt is now buried. Will it ever end???? Did a lot of shopping today. My family room is being transformed into a Paris souvenir shop! Casey is sleeping peacefully at my side and I hate to wake her to go to bed. Otto is returning from Phoenix tonight. Attended Amanda's opening of Bridge to the Stars. Andrew & Brian wired flowers, Bryce wore a suit and gave her a dozen red roses and Bryce's parents attended last night and gave her flowers...I could cry because it is so sweet! Wish I was still there. Had my bi-weekly manicure today, talked to Matt and am anxious for his visit next weekend. 10 weeks until Amanda is home for the summer. Can't d...

Already a week since I attended Amanda's rehearsal for Bridge to the Stars and went to her two classes. It has been so cold here this week and I am so jealous that Otto is there and not me! The towed car saga was a week ago already also. Cindy finally got her washer fixed after sitting there with a garage full of trip laundry and visitor laundry with more company this weekend. She will be washing until the cows come home. Work has been ok. Enjoyed lunch today at Royal Kabob with the Holbrook crew. In-service...not so much but at least I got to sit in with the middle school math group instead of a worthless workshop of what I don't teach! Watching Idol and eating my McDonald's chicken caesar salad with a glass of wine. Casey is restless. She was in the pantry the other day and ate some dry macaroni from an open box. Baby locks again. Final weeks until recital, putting the finishing touches on my two pieces but I worry that they won't be ready, even after a ye...
