Lows? It's so hard to see my grandfather's memory slowly go, and then to see the other men in his ward in such sad states with little to no family that comes to see them. I love to visit him, but it breaks my heart every time I go.
Watch anything good? Downton Abbey season 2 started, Shameless came back on, woohoo!
Read anything good? I finished a book last weekend and haven't started a new one yet. I have Jack Kerouac's On the Road on my nightstand to start soon!
Eat anything good? My mom's pulled pork, mac and cheese and these amazing peanuts from the Amish Market in PA.
What are you looking forward to this week? Finding out what my bonus will be and hopefully seeing my weight go down a little after starting counting calories again.
FFCs, vents, observations,etc? 1) I have been trying to teach myself a new skill at work, and it's really hard. My boss said she'd sit with me and help me when she has time, but she hasn't brought it up yet. I feel like I'd get the hang of it, but I need some guidance. 2) I majorly messed up our tax deductions in 2011 and we will probably owe about $10K, sigh. We had been getting about $5k back for the past couple years, so I adjusted DH's withholding, but then didn't take into account that the extra untaxed money I made doing freelance pushed us into a new tax bracket
Highs? Spent Saturday with the family since DD had a fever and couldn't go to my friend's house with me (she has a little one and I didn't want to get him sick). DH helped me with de-Christmas-ing and cleaning on Sunday. And we got DD's big girl bed half-set-up last night.
Lows? Not getting anything accomplished Saturday, being generally irritable, and DD being very, very difficult last night. I ended up crying over it. Mommy Fail.
Watch anything good? I'm almost caught up on The Vampire Diaries.
Read anything good? I finished Will Grayson, Will Grayson and have started The Daughters.
Eat anything good? My tastebuds are so dulled from this stupid congestion that I really have no idea. I should take advantage and eat carrots and tofu.
What are you looking forward to this week? Getting back into my gym routine.
FFCs, vents, observations,etc? I could type an essay on my frustrations with DD last night. She's a good kid, don't get me wrong, but I was so completely fed up with her last night that I just sent her to her room so that I didn't need to look at her for a few minutes.
