Progress

There are things I've been thinking about that I kept putting on the back burner. You know, kind of like Scarlett O'Hara from Gone with the Wind saying "tomorrow's another day". So last week I got my act together and got some stuff done.

Number one was applying for my passport. I blogged earlier about having to get another birth certificate and how quickly it arrived. Last Tuesday I stopped to the post office with all my paperwork and money and got the paperwork sent to the government. Yesterday I noticed that my check cleared. Today I got my new birth certificate returned to me with the notice that my passport had been approved. Yippee! Now it's just a matter of getting the actual passport.

Over the weekend my fella' was away, visiting North Carolina, where he is moving at the end of this month and we got talking about how nice it was that the E-Zpass works in so many different states. I mentioned to him how I had thought about getting one and with his encouragement, after we said good-bye I went to the computer and ordered them online. I say "them" because it ordered one for my car and one for my bike. Turns out if you have an E-Zpass on your motorcycle, it's cheaper then paying cash, so I figured I might as well get them both. You are allowed up to 4 passes per account. Today when I got them mail, there were my passes. WOW, that was fast.

So now a couple things I've been talking about doing for what seems like ages have now been done! Hmmm, so what should my next goal be?

I did take most of the day off from work. Yesterday I felt a bit of a sore throat. Just a tickle really, but enough to remind me that I hadn't been sick all winter, which is a real milestone for me. During the night I found myself waking up every hour during the entire night. When I woke up to get ready for work I realized that I really felt grummy and decided to call in sick. I took the dog out quickly then crawled back into bed and fell to sleep waking up shortly before my guy called me. After talking with him, I decided to call into my other job and tell them I wouldn't be in there either. I stayed in bed until after 10am. It was wonderful. My throat felt worse and then I started with some head congestion. Call me slow, but it was then I realized that it's probably my sinuses that are acting up. I decided to go to school and work in the afternoon. My sore throat just about all gone but now my nose is feeling a bit congested and I'm on the verge of a headache. Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel much better. We have a half day of school so a bunch of us will head out for breakfast in the morning between runs, then after the runs are all done I'll head to Aspire for the rest of the day. That's the plan anyway.
