Hives and BBQ's

So, this morning as I was trying to store up the few of hours of sleep I had left before work this morning, I realized, about two hours into my "nap", my stomach was crazy itchy. Kind of like a million ants had climbed into my room in the wee hours of the morning, chomped on my abdomen and left. Naturally, I start itching and itching while I was intermittently trying to just sleep as much I could. I sleep for another hour and my legs, my arms and my chest start itching. So dear readers, if I don't make any sense today, it's because I am going on 3 hours of sleep trying to recover from the mystery hives while bbq-ing at my brother's for Pioneer Day.

Ugh...what a day it has been so far. I've worked 6 days this week just to make up for the lack of hours I've worked in the past 2 weeks. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be short on my rent for August. Hopefully, I'll come out with enough money. idk. I suppose I just need a new job where they aren't going to short my hours regardless of the availability of projects and seats.

I'd really like to sleep right now, but I know if I take a nap, there's a snowball's chance in hell that I'll be able to get some decent sleep tonight. This whole week has been a little ended up with me a little discombobulated. Ha...I don't think I've ever used the word "discombobulated" in a sentence before. It makes me chuckle...haha.

Uhm...let's see, what else has been happening? My sister lives in Utah, again. I'm way excited for school to start up again. Having a terrible job will do that to you though. Oh! I've been playing tennis at least twice a week with a few people from my ward. It's been sooooo fun! I'm pretty proud of my tennis racket callouses that are forming on my hands. I heart tennis. A lot.

My pumpkins and zucchini have finally decided to bloom. They're late bloomers that's for sure. I think I planted them a little late, so that'd explain their shyness. But I'm excited to have pumpkins and zucchini this fall. Hopefully, they'll both be prolific. I'd really like at least 1 nice juicy pumpkin for Halloween/Thanksgiving. If I get another one, then I'll be super happy. I'm going to try and make pumpkin pie out of at least one hopeful pumpkin for Thanksgiving and some confectionery goodness with the second hopeful pumpkin (i.e. pumpkin cookies and pumpkin bread). I'm hoping that my zucchini will kick into action soon so I can at least grill one on the barbie before the summer is out and then freeze the rest to make zucchini bread and goulash. Yum....I love zucchini in stew and goulash. I'm almost looking forward to cooler weather just so I can cook and make the house smell good.

My brain is wanting to turn off right now, so I think I'll humor it and watch a little t.v. and do some proper vegging out.

Toodles.

It's Okay to Be Sad

I'm sitting in my room nursing a 7-up because I ate too much cheese with my dinner. Being lactose sensitive, edging on completely intolerant, totally sucks. Sometimes dairy doesn't bother my stomach too much, but I guess eating cheese on a completely empty stomach wasn't the greatest idea but damn, that artichoke and spinach cheese dip was delicious. Was it worth it in the end? Meh..I could go either way at the moment. I just had a memory pop up of my first swig of raw cow milk. It was delicious and totally didn't make my stomach hurt. Anyhow, at lot has been swirling around my brain as of late. Here is a bullet list of the swirling mess: When I left UVU a little over 10 years ago, my GPA was a 1.95. When I came back in the fall I had to fill out a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) report thing to 1.) get my financial aid released, and 2.) promise to get a C or better for the remainder of my time at UVU. Well, I barely got a D in sociology 1010 class in the fa...

Mama

Dear Mom, You've been gone 12 years now and I miss you just as much as I did when you left this earth to live with our Heavenly Father. Life has been hard since you've been gone, but I'm sure you know. Yesterday, on your anniversary, I went to lunch with Felisa and visited Stephen and his wife, Shauna in Salt Lake. Who would have thought that almost all us adult siblings would live within an hour's drive of each other? In Utah, no less. We didn't really talk about you, but I'm sure that we were all thinking of you. My heart ached for you a little bit more. I thought of you on Sunday, since it was the day of the week that you passed away. During the Sacrament, I thought of you and everything you taught me about the Gospel, about Jesus, about facing your fears, about forgiveness. When it came to the bearing of testimonies, I was already crying. Half due to allergies and half due to thinking of you and missing you. I was always the sensitive one. Dad's ex-wife ...

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...
