Done and Done

Today was a day of appointments. It started off with taking Jojo to the vet. She's my very first dog sitting client and I have taken care of her for the past two and half years. We were going to the vet to get her a certificate of health so that she can fly to her new home in Los Angeles. After I got that squared away I went to my dentist appointment. These wisdom teeth HAVE to come out asap and unfortunately my health insurance will not cover it. I see dental insurance in my future. After eating a quick lunch and gathering supplies I packed Jojo up and headed out to find the Delta Cargo area at the airport. After getting lost and making several u-turns I arrived at what looked like a huge warehouse. Surprise surprise...it was a huge warehouse. Forklifts and all. I had to leave Jojo there and it was horrible. I got in the car and cried. She was not a happy camper and if you have ever met her you know good and well being in a travel crate in a noisy warehouse is her worst nightmare. She had a two hour wait until her five hour flight and i can only hope she exhausted herself and will sleep on the flight. Saying goodbye to her was hard...it's just one more thing changing in my life and one more thing that's left me. By fall I'll be a pro at change!

Yes!!!

Today was amazing. I had a great meeting with a new client today and we really hit it off. I helped Lauren Fox move to her new apartment, which is awesome. I cannot wait to see it all put together. We had lunch at my favorite spot...CHIPOTLE!! I introduced her to their $4.95 killer margarita. I found out this evening that I was accepted into the design program at Georgia State. I am so excited. It was great news to get before my evening of fun. I headed out and met all the ZBB girls at Ra for sushi and then we went bowling. It was a really fun evening. I'm exhausted and I cannot wait to hit the pillow.

Working for the weekend

Yesterday was intense. I woke up with purpose and did not stop until well into the night. Getting this house back to the way I want it is going to take time. I thought I could do it in a day...HA! I freaked out a little but Heather came to my rescue and we ran all over town doing a little retail therapy. I worn myself out completely and today I am trying to recoup and collect myself. I have a busy week ahead of me and I need to bring my A game.
Today feels good. I don't feel all panicky like I did yesterday and I'm not overwhelmed...currently ;-) I feel at peace with what has happened and I'm ready to move forward on my own. I'm still waiting to hear from Georgia State. Going back to school will be nice and give my life some structure. I have a lot going on right now but I do feel a sense that I'm floating through life. School will be good!
Today has been a great lazy day so far. I was ordered by my Mom to relax today and I think I'm doing a good job. I've done some reading and baked three loaves of yummy bread. Now I am about to watch a movie and hope that turns into a nap.

48 hours

I'm toast. I'm spent. I'm out. I'm tired. I'm exhausted. The past 48 hours was very busy and intense. I've got to go to bed. I'll be back to blogging after my brain firms up.

We put in a full shift today. I was awake by 7:30 after only a few hours of sleep and Clay and I were getting down to work shorty after 9. We made our way to the old house, unloaded, and then loaded up again to return to Atlanta. We did a lot of loading and unloading today and we were like Mutt and Jeff because it got pretty comical at times. Lets see, we had to pull over on the expressway twice to catch things before they flew out the back, Clay backed into our mailbox and put a horrible scratch and dent on the bed of the truck (the mailbox did not make it out good either), and we had numerous other small mistakes and obstacles that added to our funny ballet of errors.
After we wrapped up this evening I headed out to Screen on The Green to watch Star Wars with Autumn and Travis at Piedmont Park. I needed to decompress and clear my head. Today was pretty intense and I had no idea until it was over. I fell asleep shortly after the movie started. You have not lived until you have slept in the grass in this humidity!

Rough around the edges

Last night my neighbors decided to have a party and talk outside at the top of their lungs. I laid here and thought about what I wanted to say and every time I went to get up I just could not bring myself to do it. Finally I could not take it any longer and I walked outside and just simply said "I can hear everything your saying and I'm trying to sleep". That's all it took and they went inside. The I attempted sleep. I've not been sleeping very well this past week or so.
What a day! I met a new client today and her dog Griffin. He is an awesome dog and I cannot wait to start taking care of him. The middle of the day was spent on errands and cleaning. Then this evening I went to see Sex and the City Two with Autumn. Horrible movie. Take booze when you go. I promise it makes the movie bearable. After the movie we met up with Travis and went to Chipotle. Yes I went again!!! I love that place. After dinner we headed deeper into Midtown and attended Crazy Bitch Bingo. Fun was had by all. I think it should be a weekly tradition.
I'm holding my breath that I will hear from Georgia State this week about fall semester. I'm sure I'm going to get in but I want to hear it and see it on paper. I need a plan for the fall. Some kind of routine will be welcomed.

I've had a really good day. Started it off with a lazy morning then lunch at Chipotle. I love that place. It's nothing special but I could eat there everyday. Heather and I then saw "Please Give". It had Catherine Kenner and Oliver Platt in it. I love them both. It was a pretty good movie. It was great to see a movie. It's been months since I've gone to the theater and it made me feel a little more normal. I need to get back into my swing of two movies a week. Hopefully my new budget will allow for that ;-)
I spent the evening packing more boxes. I'm out of boxes and there is still more to pack! It will get done soon. Since I could not pack any more I moved to baking a peach cobbler and making honey wheat Amish bread. The two loaves turned out so cute and they taste amazing. I can't wait to have toast in the morning! The peach cobbler is awesome too. It's a great way to eat peaches ;-)
All in all it was a good day and I'm hoping to get to sleep before 2am tonight. I need to start running again so I can wear myself out and hit the hay earlier. I've enjoyed being up late as I find I'm productive well into the night but it's killing me in the morning with the dogs.
