Wednesdays With Squid

Squid is my huge 6 month old kitten. He and I are total BFF's and he follows me around all day long. He enjoys doing laundry-as you can see, a little too much. He could be in a dead sleep across the house and hear me open the dryer and be there in no time. He'll be climbing in and before I know It he is buried. Today he jumped in the washer while it was filling. He flew out of it, turned around, looked at the washer and hissed then stomped off. I was laughing so hard I forgot to put the soap in the washer. I had to rewash everything once I realized.

My silly Squidrow. I enjoy my days with Squid. He makes what would have been a boring day waiting for Steven to get home an exciting and comical day.

Best Sleep-Worst Migraine

I had the best nights sleep last night but the worst migraine ever. I threw up once earlier in the day (a common occurrence when I have a migraine). All day I felt like if I moved my head I would throw up. I dry heaved multiple times when I moved my head. It was miserable.l Tylenol, Excedrin, and Ibuprofen with loads of Diet Coke later I saw no improvement. So finally we get home at 1030 last night after a family dinner and Steven casually tells me we have lortab. Hello!!! It was from when Steven was so sick last year. So I popped a half (I can't handle drugs. They stay with me longer than most people and I have mega effects from them). So like I said I took it and 30 minutes later I felt so much better. My words were slurring but I finally relaxed and the pain subdued.

I had the best lortab induced nights sleep ever. It was great. First night in forever that I didn't dream about work, cleaning the house, running up a hill. It was great.

Wish me luck tonight because I can't do this all the time. I really hate taking drugs-hence the reason I tried Melatonin and sensory relaxation to sleep first.

Can't Sleep

Do you have problems sleeping? I do. I dream about work-every night. It's getting old. I have tried 'white noise' by having a fan going. Melatonin and benadryl don't help. I did sleep better when I watched a movie before bed but Stevie doesn't care for that because then he can't sleep. 

When you can't sleep what do you do? Do your dreams leave you feeling like you have worked your butt off all night?

Superstitious? Yep.

I am very superstitious. I bawled the day we signed for our life insurance. I feel like it's a bad omen. Yes, I understand it is necessary but It freaks me out. When Steven walks out the door I say "love you, be careful, have fun." He could be in the truck pulling out of the drive way but I say it every time no matter what. I go with my gut. If I have a bad feeling we do not ignore my gut! 

THE GUT GETS THE FINAL SAY EVERY TIME. 

So why this sudden blogging of my eccentric behavior...? Because we passed on a 4 day trip this weekend to San Diego due to flying on 9/11. We would have to be on a plane that day. HELLO!!! That is just bad carama! We are rescheduling for October. Sea world will still be awesome in October...right?

Would you fly on 9/11? 

My Buddy...And Me!

I'm watching HGTV waiting for the husband to get home. Squid wimped out and fell asleep. He couldn't hang.

Separation Makes You Stronger

I always thought that was a false statement. I thought that if you were apart long enough you would no longer feel for that person. This theory proved correct with ex-boyfriends so I cemented this in my brain as truth. BOY was I wrong!

Steven has been out of town every day for the past 5 days for work. To make matters worse I had to work 5 days straight as well so I missed out on my chance to share a hotel room with him in the evenings. So instead of staying out of town he made the trip back to me every single night. He would kiss me when he came in at midnight and them climb into bed next to me. I then got up and kissed him goodbye on my way to work at 0530. That is a crappy 5 days.

So did I fall out of love? Did I get used to him not being there?

NOPE.

I am completely serious when I say that I cried myself to sleep every night. When we were dating I would sleep at his parents house in my sister-in-laws old bedroom so that I didn't have to leave him at night. So in the past 5+ years we have not slept apart. It broke my heart to go to bed without him next to me.

I get to see my Stevie for more than a goodnight kiss tonight and I am giddy and excited nervous. I missed him so much!

Being apart really did make my love for him stronger. Maybe our love grew stronger or maybe I realized I can't take a single moment with my amazing husband for granted. Being apart made me want to savor every second with him.

So my advice to those of you reading this: Do not take time with your spouse for granted. You never know when that time will end.

Seriously-A year???

Did I really graduate almost a year ago? Have I really been a nurse for a year?? WTF?
