Day One Hundred and Ninety Seven.

    I felt pretty refreshed after last nights sleep but was still fairly annoyed when I got to work to find out there had been another call in, therefore it would be another long day. It was even harder than yesterday because none of the supervisors helped out with break coverage in the morning, so me and the other girl I was working with just didn't get one. I was hoping that I could leave early but that didn't happen:( Once again having to double up on the work definitely made the day go by really fast but I sure hope I'm not making any mistakes. When I finally left work it was about 3:30pm and I decided to run some errands. I needed to pick up some dog treats but hate to buy them at the food store because they are always super expensive. I went to the Pet Smart and got a few of the things she needed there, all of which were a great deal, then stopped at the food store on the way home to grab paper towels:)
    Today was a non-exercise day but I was so busy when I got home that I felt like I was burning something. I decided I didn't have time to vacuum my entire house so I thought I would just use the dust buster on the couch but someone had taken the plug out of the wall, so it had no power:( I decided instead to take my dog for a walk and see if that would give it enough time to charge. After the walk I decided since it was such a nice day out to go through the backyard and pick up any messes leftover from Saturday's hunt. Then when I got inside I realized my dogs backside was a little dirty so I had to give her a bath. She's needed a bath for several days now so it was really no big deal. The dust buster still didn't have power when I was done with all of that, so I decided to just clean the downstairs bathroom instead. I felt I needed to clean it because the internet/tv installation guy had used the downstairs bathroom the other day and it has been grossing me out since. Then I collected all of the trash because tomorrow is trash day, put a load of laundry in and finally it was shower time.
    I was just about to fold the clothes from yesterday when my boyfriend arrived home and we chatted while I did that. He made most of dinner which was linguine and with a side of sausage, while I made the salad. It was about 8:30pm when we finally were finished and sat on the couch for a few minutes. We both proceeded to fall asleep very soon after that. It's been such a busy week for me and it's not only showing on my face, but my hands as well. Today it was really embarrassing because while I was having a conversation with someone I realized I was bleeding all over this paper work I had to hand in. I ended up putting clear tape over the blood stains then making copies of it to hide the evidence. It's frustrating that my hands look worse now then they did in January. I'm really hoping that going away this weekend will help them heal a little bit. When I'm not at my house and I don't have access to unlimited soap it can make it a lot easier to avoid hand washing. Alright, I'm exhausted!
