Getting back to it....

My doctor appointment on Tuesday (1/18/2011) was quite an eye opening experience... I added 4 meds and 2 diagnoses to my medical chart... lots of allergy precautions... Aye! Aye! Aye!

It has been a rough couple of days -- adjusting to the new meds has meant headaches and an overly tired Kristen... this does NOT make for a productive Kristen, let me tell you, and my house is looking worse for the ware.

So today was the day... and who cares if it was noon before I got started.  I took a hot shower complete with the shaving of the legs (You ladies know how big a deal this is!)... and got all lotioned and potioned even though I was putting on my sweats... I smell GREAT and that so helps the attitude =)

So I got up and got to work!

Got the sidewalk shoveled and salted, tackled the dishes in the kitchen sink and prepared for a de-cluttering session I could be proud of... starting with the kid's bedrooms  =)

Got the kid's bedrooms picked up and vacuumed/swept... we had lunch... and the kitchen got cleaned up again. 

Next up was folding and putting away a few loads of clean laundry from yesterday.  I also got one load moved into the dryer and our weekly load of whites into the washer.  I had a phone conversation with mom and then a couple of friends.... and started our 2010 tax forms...

It has been a MUCH better day today!  The headache subsided earlier today which is a blessing as I was about to give up on the medicine all together!

I plan to clean the bathroom yet this afternoon, mop the kitchen floor, and cook dinner (spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread, and salad -- YUM!) 

I also plan to RELAX this evening!  I am wanting to finish my current book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time which I am really enjoying (though I wasn't sure I would, to be honest!) 

I will, also, need to take my med again this evening which will probably mean an early bedtime again..... which is ok with a productive day like I have had today  =)
