Wishing it was Saturday
I have so much reading to do for this week. I’ve gotten through two nights worth but it’s almost 7 p.m. and I still have two more nights worth to read. Bleech. Problem is that the last two weeks have been insane and this week is going to be the worst. A new policy has been instituted at work that changes the way we complete certain tasks and one of them is going to take up all my time this week (and possibly next week) to the point where I may have to work through lunch and possibly even bring work home. Sigh… Hope not!
I cannot believe October is almost over! The past few months have just flown by. This weekend has been great. Chapin stayed home yesterday and we got a lot done around the house, then went out today and got him an expensive new toy (read: BIG ASS TRUCK) he has been begging for pretty much since we got married 7 years ago. He’s a happy, happy man. 
Not sure how happy our bank account will be once we see how much a tank of gas will cost us, but hopefully it won’t break us. Pumpkinhead has had a blast driving around today and then jumping/dancing in the back of it. He was also really excited because a neighborhood cat came over to play with him and was still outside two hours later when we left to go show off the car to my parents.
Anyway, I have about 10 million things on my plate in the coming weeks (cleaning my home office is definitely going to have to wait until Christmas break because a) it’s a wicked mess and b) I really need to get some bookshelves for my stacks and stacks of law books). Seems like every Saturday is booked with one thing or the other and I know time is just going to fly. I cannot believe that this time last year I was complaining about how I had to wait to hear which law school would accept me and then wait a whole 6 months to actually start attending. I guess the busier you are, the less you notice the days and weeks passing by.
In health news, the Cymbalta continues to work. I have been having some continued pain/numbness/tingling in my legs, especially when I cross them or push the backs of my knees against a chair, but I’m trying to avoid that and it’s not constant like it was before. Hopefully it won’t return because I’d like to stay on the lower dose rather than upping to the 60mg. There are some side effects that I’d rather not magnify, but overall I feel 10,000 times better!
Enough procrastinating; I’m off to read some more before the time comes to watch Desperate Housewives (the one show I try catch live and not DVR if Pumpkinhead’s bedtime routine doesn’t delay me).

It’s sad when you have an office, but it’s too messy to even use it. Sigh. I’ve taken over the living room and the dining room as well.
The new truck sounds fun! I love new car smell.
Unfortunately, my car just smells like stale fast food and feet.
Glad the meds are still working!

LOL! My dining room table is covered with clean laundry that needs to be folded, as well as study aids and note paper I’ve discarded. It’ll get cleaned up (i.e., hidden elsewhere) before the cleaning lady comes, but I still have another week before that happens since she’s only here every other week.

No, no, no…..the cleaning frenzy is for when you should be studying for finals. Seriously. I am amazed at how much cleaning my classmates get done during this time. I do not tend to procrastinate by cleaning….usually I read blogs or surf the web. Hey - whatever gets us through, right?
