Hey ya’ll! Sorry for not blogging, I’ve been under the weather. So let’s start off from last blog which would be last weekend. The boyfriend came up Friday night and stayed Saturday night as well. He was supposed to leave Saturday but him and my step-dad decided to drink that night and since he didn’t have to be at work until 3 PM Sunday and because he doesn’t drive when he drinks, he stayed over. My mom was totally fine with it and I would have been so mad at him if he did drive home after he drank. I can’t stand people who do careless shit like that. On Saturday, I started feeling really ill. I was stopped up, my ears were killing me, and my head was hurting as well. Luckily, the boyfriend checked on me and rubbed my back most of the night. He’s so sweet. ? I swear that boy makes me happy. Early Sunday he left to go back home though.

Now let’s back it up to Friday because on Friday, I went to the doctor. I have this bump thinger on my body that looks like a spider bite but my doctor said since I don’t recall being bit it could be a bacterial infection. She ordered me an antibiotic as well as some migraine medicine. She also recommended that I take Zyrtec for my sinuses/allergies.

Well, when we went to the pharmacy, my migraine medicine was going to be $150 for six pills which is outrageous and I said no way. The bad thing is they didn’t call in my antibiotic and by the time we got to the pharmacy the doctor’s office was closed. Since I started feeling ill over the weekend and Monday morning I was really bad, I didn’t get to call on Monday to remind my doctor to call my medicine in. On Tuesday I did however and got a new prescription for some migraine medicine which was my old medicine which works thankfully. I was just frustrated with my doctor’s office because I was supposed to go back this past Wednesday and I couldn’t since I didn’t have my medicine so now I will have to go back next week.

Thankfully, I feel better tonight but now I’m stopping up again because riding with the boyfriend with the windows down and letting the night air nip at my ears is making them hurt and stopping up my nose. I hate my sinuses I swear, they are evil. Luckily I will have time to recover before the boyfriend comes back up here. I swear, I love spending time with him. He truly makes me happy and he is the first guy I trust which scares the crap out of me. My mom told me she got why I trusted Rans because you can be around him and know he’s the type that is honest and just an all around good guy. ? Also, he now doesn’t care about me blogging about him. He finally understands that blogging is something I’m passionate about. He has cars and I have websites. Lol.

Anyways, I’m going to go lay down until he calls me to let me know he got home alright and then I’m headed to bed. I’m dead dog tired. Until next time, later lovelies!

The other day, I was watching 28 days which is about this woman who gets totally wasted at her sister’s wedding, steals a limo, and then wrecks it. She is then given the choice of prison or going to a drug and alcohol rehab center. She obviously picks rehab but refuses to really take part in any of the treatments there at the facility. Finally after getting to know some of the others in the treatment center, she realizes she does have a problem and starts cleaning up her life.

It stars Sandra Bullock who is one of my favorite actresses. The big surprise for me was Viggo Mortensen. I have never found him attractive at all, in fact, one of my old net friends was a major Viggo fan. Jo, the net friend, went on and on about how hot he is but I never saw it until I saw this movie. I must say, maybe Jo was right.

Speaking of old net friends, it’s funny how a movie can make you think of old friends. I’ve come to realize how many friends I have distanced myself from in the past year. I used to enjoy posting at forums and swapping e-mails back and forth with quite a few people but lately, I don’t even want to talk to people. I think all of this started in the last part of mine and my ex’s relationship. It was when the abuse started and I just retreated inside of myself instead of leaning on others for support. I mean, how can you just tell a friend, “oh hey, by the way, my boyfriend abuses me and I feel like a weak, worthless person afterwards,” because that is definitely not something I could work into conversation. I think a lot of my offline friends knew but online it was easier to pretend things were all peachy keen.

In fact, I miss a lot of the people I used to talk to. I still lurk on some boards but I feel afraid to make the first step back into reacquainting myself with them again. There is so much I’d have to explain and it’d leave me feeling raw afterwards. There are so many things in my past I try to just block out and forget. So my question to all you lovelies is have you ever lost contact with someone you really never wanted to lose contact with? If so, have you ever started contact with that person and tried to patch up the relationship? If so, how? I guess I’m tired of being anti-social and after almost a year since the downward spiral also known as my former life started, I’m finally ready to pick up the pieces since I am over it all. I’m ready to move on and be happy and most of this is thanks to the current boyfriend who is more than a boyfriend, he’s a friend.

So anyways, I have a lot of cleaning to do since the boyfriend will be here tonight. I’ve been washing clothes since I had a clothes explosion in my bedroom floor so that is why I have to clean. Grrr. I hate cleaning. So until next time, later lovelies!

I am feeling much better today. It rained last night so most of the pollen washed away thankfully. Actually scratch that, it stormed last night. I kept having to unplug the computer because between storms I’d hook my computer back up so I could finish some of the coding I was doing only to have to unplug it 30 minutes later. I am definitely stressing the “Kate needs a laptop” point now.

The real thing that cheered me up last night was talking to the boyfriend. Goodness, I missed his voice. I know that sounds completely stupid since we usually talk every day but we haven’t really talked talked in a couple of days. We talked last night about random things and then our usual joking is what made me feel a whole lot better. I love that boy a lot. I am really beginning to think this is what real love is about. With him, I can go a day or two without talking to him and not stress because I honestly trust him completely. He is a good guy that puts my mind to ease at all times. I love that about him and he is so caring and genuine. He is respectful and fits in with my family which is definitely a plus. He’s the type of guy that if he unintentionally offends or hurts your feelings, he apologizes right on the spot and tries to correct the situation. He is just easy to get along with and it’s comfortable being around him. I also can’t complain in the romance or even kissing departments either. *blush* He is definitely a keeper and this time around, everyone is telling me this instead of me just thinking this on my own so that’s a good sign.

So anyways, enough with the mushy stuff, I have a job interview tomorrow and I thought it was at eleven so I scheduled my hair appointment at one thinking I’d have time to get from one place to the next. Well it turns out my interview is at one so I have to get up early, take my mom to the hair appointment and then catch my interview. After the interview, I can go get my hair done as well. Luckily the interview place and hair place are like five minutes apart. I just really need this job for obvious monetary issues but then there is term insurance or whatever you want to call it. My mom has life insurance on me and my brother but I want to take that over and then of course health insurance is a biggie since my thyroid problems make me have to visit the doctor and get my blood taken frequently since I can never get it regulated. My thyroid is of the devil I swear. My doctor was telling me that I have a bad case of hypothyroidism because in most cases, she can regulate her patients’ levels but with mine they bounce around and cause major side effects. The side effects aren’t glamorous either. I am moody as hell and then there’s the problem with me constantly being tired and then the whole hair shedding issue. I mean, my hair sheds like crazy and it’s annoying. My poor boyfriend has to deal with my moodiness but I’m usually in a good mood around him luckily. I just wish my thyroid would fix itself because I am so tired of this. I’ve struggled with this since I was 12 and I’m just exhausted of it.

Well, I am going to go watch television with the mom. I’m having a shitty thyroid day and my whole body hurts despite the fact I’ve taken my medicine how I’m supposed to and have even gotten up and moved around just to try to get my blood circulating since I woke up feeling crabby but it isn’t working. I feel like crap but I am oddly not in a bad mood. So until next time, later lovelies!

First off, can I just say thank goodness the weather is getting warm again? It is so pretty outside and I think as soon as I get done writing this blog I am going to pop outside and sit on the swing and do a little reading. I love sitting outside and reading because right now there is a slight breeze and under the tree in the front yard it is very shady and allows you to sit out there and not sweat to death.

My mom is feeling under the weather so it was my duty to rally the troops (Nicholas and Selena) to help me do our usual Saturday cleaning routine which basically meant getting the bathroom cleaned, sifting litter boxers, cleaning the living room, and vacuuming the house. The boyfriend is coming up tonight so of course I wanted to hurry and get all of that done instead of waiting until the last moment which I usually do. Ooops, not my fault I detest cleaning. So we’ve already got all of our cleaning done which means the rest of the day we can be lazy little people as usual.

Thursday went pretty well I suppose. Wednesday, Nicholas has practice and he threw up during baseball practice and then later that night he was running a fever so he didn’t get to go on Thursday. It ended up being Selena, Beth, Quincy, the boyfriend, and myself going bowling and then out to eat. We were going to go to a movie but no one really wanted to see a movie. Bowling was fun but I managed to injure myself. I was going up for my turn and wasn’t paying attention and slipped and fell. Not only did I fall, I managed to do a split in the process and thus pulling my upper leg muscles. Way to go Kate. I played it off the best I could because I really didn’t want to appear like a big baby. I actually had to crawl out of the lane and get the boyfriend to help me up because the lane was that slick!!

During our outing, Beth started feeling sick. She didn’t even eat anything at dinner time and that night she was throwing up. So basically Beth and Nicholas were fighting over the bathroom and then later that night my mom ended up getting sick as well. *knocks on wood* I didn’t get sick thankfully because my legs and butt were already hurting. In fact, Friday morning, I could barely move. I moped around the house and even today I am still hurting. It’s okay because I will definitely be sucking it up because the boyfriend is coming up here again. Sadly, we didn’t have home made pizza either but we are having Digiorno tonight along with movie night since people feel like they can actually eat real food again.

He’s bringing Guitar Hero up here for the Wii again. He is seriously addicted to that game. My mom is going to get us a copy and then we’ll have to get the CAT5 or CAT6 cable, whatever it is called, so we can play online against each other. Bring it boyfriend, because I am sure you are not going to like getting your butt kicked by your girlfriend. Heh. Anyways, the swing is calling my name outside so I must go sit outside and enjoy the pretty day. So until next time, later lovelies!

Finally, a non-home improvement post. Heh. Although I hate filling my blog with our new plans but I am quite excited about it. I think after watching some many Flip That House, Extreme Home Makeover, Trading Spaces, and Design on a Dime episodes that it’s all finally gone to my head. *giggle*

I am taking a quick moment to post a blog saying that I might not blog again until Friday. The boyfriend will be here tonight and tomorrow, we have big plans. My siblings spring break is this week and since we haven’t really done anything special for spring break, we are going to Thursday and Friday. On Thursday Nicholas has a game at 7 PM but that day we plan on going bowling, going to see a movie, and then going out to eat before his game. We really wanted to plan something fun for them and plus, I like to bowl believe it or not even though I bowl backwards. Lol. On Friday, we are going to make our own pizzas for dinner and then watch some movies and stay up really late having a mini-party. My mom used to do all kinds of special things when it was just me and her so we decided to do some of those things with Nicholas and Selena.

Last night, I watched a movie with Selena. We watched Nancy Drew, the new movie with Emma Roberts. It was a lot better than I thought it would be but it was far from an awesome movie. The storyline was cute and funny but the beginning was really boring. Nancy just seemed so goody goody and that really turned me off from liking her as a character. I guess all in all it was quite cheesy. Selena liked it at least so it’s all good I suppose.

Well on that note, I need to change the sheets on my bed (this is like some weird thing I have to do anytime I have company which was imprinted into my brain by my grandma who decided I needed to learn how to be a great hostess), vacuum my room, and then take a shower. So until next time, later lovelies!
