My week in pictures

Damn! Has it been a week already? Man we've been busy!

Wednesday:
  • Put deposit down on new apartment!
  • Went for a run in 90 degree heat… ow.
  • Had dinner and watched fireworks with friends who gave us this (thus proving that they know us pretty well):
Thursday:
  • The moving company informs us we own 6000lbs of crap. Approximately ½ of which are books…
  • Sold husband’s car in less than 12 hours! (thanks Craigslist!)
Friday:
  • Went to my depression support group.
  • Attempted to do yoga DVD.
  • Finished this kick-ass biography about recovery from mental illness:
Saturday:
  • Watched 4000 hours of TV:
  • Attempted to do aerobics DVD.
Sunday:
  • Bought cheap sundresses for our upcoming vacation to Hawaii!
Monday:
  • Swam laps at my favorite pool. Tried to savor it since they don’t have outdoor pools surrounded by redwoods where we're going in New England.
  • Bought nifty Alyssa Ettinger coasters:
Late Monday night:
  • We notice (at 9:30pm) that the cat is limping badly. We get all paranoid and take her to kitty ER. $300 and one x-ray later we learn that nothing’s broken – it’s probably just a sprain. We are instructed to “jam some kitty Aleve down her throat and call us if it doesn’t improve.” Oh, and by the way, the x-ray shows signs of arthritis. Goody. (although, according to the article I read in “Cat Fancy Magazine” in the waiting room at 1am last night, 90-100% of 12 year old cats have some arthritis which makes me feel a bit better.)
  • We're woken up at 3:30am by a cat fight outside. Both my husband and I sit straight up, immediately worried that it's our cat crying out in pain. We call her name and she comes limping into the bedroom - ka thump... ka thump... ka thump.
Tuesday:
  • First day of the SAT prep class I’m teaching this week. 3 hours of defining words. “Juniper, what does justify mean? What does deception mean? How about alleviate and wary? Juniper, why do they make these questions so hella tricky?”
  • Bought mom a Recycled Kimono Handbag for her upcoming birthday:
I think it's safe to say, my ATM card doesn't know what hit it...
