Insomnia

I hate insomnia. It screws up my whole day. And with today being moving day I really cannot afford being so tired. I even went to bed early, really who goes to sleep at 930? But I was that tired, so I looked forward to a nice long good night's rest and ready to face the day ahead of me. My body decided that 4-5 hours it's gotten used to was enough, so just after 2 I was wide awake. Now I'm sleepy but just keep tossing and turning. Sure enough 6 will come and I'll be ready to crash out, but nope, that's when I'll have to get up and spend all day finishing packing and moving boxes and appliances. Ugh.
This past week on the other hand has been lots of fun, the calm before the storm so to speak. Last weekend was a couple Halloween parties so Derek and I got dressed up as a Bavarian couple and headed out with my friend Nikki from work. I must say I was so proud of myself for our costumes. I had a dirndl top I bought from Austria and added the rest from my own closet. I actually had to make Derek's leiderhosen, which despite how silly he felt, I think turned out remarkably well! Unfortunately I will have to wait to upload those pics until after the move. I had a great time hanging out with work friends and dancing the night away. Derek loved all the sports that were on, however isn't so fond of dancing, so after the UFC fight was over, he got a bit bored. Overall it ended up being a good night for all. After working the following days Nikki and I made a point to hit up the Ducks/Redwings game. I will say being a Redwings fan, but just a hockey fan, it gets very dissapointing watching the Ducks win. True the Ducks do have quite a few good players and overall aren't too bad, but I just can't get over the idea that they're a disney team. Don't get me wrong, I love Disneyland and all that, but how can you take a sports team that was created after a Disney movie seriously?? And to have them beat my beloved Wings, in OT?? Ugh. Well, there's another game in Jan we're already planning on, so hopefully I'll be able to be a proud fan and celebrate a victory at that time!

Moving next week

So we're moving next week to Elsinore. I spent so much time trying to get out of there, and here I am 5 years later, moving back. We've got an apt for now, we'll see where God is going to lead us. There are a couple things I am really looking forward to; being closer to some friends, and my bro and nephew, a church Derek and I both really like and getting more involved in that, and closer to the mountains for the winter. So there are good things, just so hard when you're moving from a nicely landscaped area near the beach to an apt with "a view" of a dirt field. So. Derek and I are both looking forward to getting tattoos soon, probably not the smartest idea right now but we decided it's our anniversary presents to each other. My mom has been up and down, was doing well, popped her hip out not once, but twice and so now is a brace. If that doesn't work they may need to go back in and do surgery. And Derek has decided not to go to the school he was planning on, so onto figuring that out. That's us, who knows, we may end up buying a place in Murrieta and settling down out there!

Update on my mom...and life

So those who are on myspace (who isn't anymore) probably already know my mom broke her hip and yesterday had surgery. She did pretty well, doing even better this morning. It's going to be a long recovery process but she's a tough cookie. The surgery was scary because of all her respiratory problems they weren't sure if she would easily come off the ventilator, but she did just fine. Being a nurse (and a bit of a pessimist) I first considered the worst options, I need to learn not to do that! So, that's that, we're going to see how she does and figure life around that. About us moving. We gave our 30 day notice to our apt, however we don't know where we're going to move to. We have considered moving in with my mom, which all around isn't a great idea except for the fact we will be there CONSTANTLY, even that isn't a good thing. The apt in Temecula didn't work out, alway ask about big dogs, regardless of the amount you know already live there. So we're looking into a few places in Elsinore. It's all going to come down to what's available in the next couple weeks. I also have a ton of stuff for work coming up that I am not excited about, and life still happens.
