I hate colds...and things that make me go hmmm

Happy Thursday everyone!

I kinda feel like its Friday but its not.  I wish it were because then I could get some sleep on Saturday (I've worked 12 days in a row now) so eventually it'll get here.

~*~ I've been down and out with a cold since Monday.  Its not fun hacking, runny eyes, coughing and laryngitis!  I love the changing of the weather but I hate hate hate getting sick.

~*~ The other bad part of me being sick is my husband gets sympathy sick.  Meaning he'll say he doesn't feel good when I don't feel good because he needs the attention on him.  I kid you not.  So we met for a quick dinner yesterday at Mellow Mushroom and he gets weird looks on his face when he sees someone from his work (I hate living where he works) so I thought it was just that.  Nope he stops eating and he's like I don't feel good and the rest of the night I had to deal with him "feeling crappy".  I can only wonder how his sympathy sick will be when decide to try to have a kid...there's only so much I can handle!

~*~ The above is one of the many reasons I dislike the way he was raised.  But I'll keep my mouth shut on that and just hmmm

~*~ If you have been paying attention to social media, STL is in the news again.  I'm not going to lie, I didn't follow this past one as much as I did the other one but this one happened back in 2011 and I don't remember much.  I do know that people here are divided every which way and the simple comments of "were there any protestors?" will get people commenting and pissed off.  We are supposed to go to the baseball game Friday night, a friend was there last night and I commented about how the protesters were.  Nothing bad about asking that however one of her other people commented that I shouldn't ask a question like that because all the protesting has been peaceful (that's not true) and the cops have it taken care of.  I didn't comment back but its like I'm allowed to ask the question, sorry if you didn't like it...

Have a great Thursday!

What I'm dreading
It dawned on me the other day that September is almost over and that means the end of the year is almost over and I'm not done with my 2015 scrapbook which means I could be 2 years behind.  My goal was to get caught up...hahaha

Balancing life with my new career.  Changes are happening with it next week which will require more balancing so hopefully one day it'll all be leveled out.

What I'm excited about
My birthday is 10 days away and hockey season starts in 10 days.

What I'm watching/reading
Fall tv has started this week and I'm already behind.  That's a post within itself.  However I'm currently reading "The Writing Desk" by Rachel Hauck and so far its very good.

What I'm doing this weekend
We have Cardinals tickets for Friday night and plan on eating out somewhere new before that.  Saturday ZERO PLANS which is great but if its nice I'd love to paint my front door and shutters.  Sunday I work that AM and then again ZERO PLANS!  I need a weekend off and I'm soo glad to get it!

What I'm looking forward to next month
My birthday, hockey season starts, I'm hosting a grilling party and halloween
