tuesdays are travis's days off, and they are also one of the nights he has class at TU -- did i mention he's going to TU now? i can't remember if i have or not. he's in a program that will give him two federal certifications for computer/information security. very cool. -- anyway, he usually has a lot of reading to do during the day. this past week his laptop crashed, however, and he needed some of the information from it. the only problem? the hardware he needed to get the information off the computer was still at my parents' in muskogee.
i got ready for the day and headed out around noon -- after our late night movie on monday night we both slept in. i have got to stop doing that. -- conor and i headed to muskogee, my first time since leaving magnolia. the drive there wasn't too bad, but on the way home i told travis i was so grateful to not have to make that drive each morning.
i was going to meet up with my sister, but she was with my mom enrolling in school. she's been very sick lately. i picked her up from incredible pizza the weekend before last when she was here with her friends. she was running a fever, had a really bad headache, was "so cold it hurts" while the temperature was 100+, had horrible back and neck aches, and had a really sore throat. my parents picked her up from here and took her to st. francis emergency room. they gave her a full iv drip and a z-pack and then sent her on her way. she was still running a fever on monday, so my mom scheduled an appointment for tuesday with the doctor. the doctor tested her for mono. when that test came back negative, they scheduled her for an MRI and a CT. they still aren't sure what's wrong with her, but she's finally feeling a little better and will start school today.
while i was waiting for them to finish up the enrollment, i headed to the lears'. i visited with dee for a little bit, picked up our mail, and borrowed the carpet shampooer from her. i also ate delicious homemade southwest eggrolls. yum! conor hasn't been going outside because of the stupid flea problem here at the apartment {we've treated him and the apartment, and i think we've kicked the fleas!}. i put him in the backyard and he had the biggest smile on his face! he ran around the yard the entire time! and i mean ran. normally when i open the patio door to go back inside, he runs over to me and wants to go inside. if i refuse, he usually sits there and scratches and barks. this time he just looked up at me and then went back to playing. "i'm good mom!"
after he had his fun and dee and i had loaded everything in the car, conor and i headed to my parents'. they had a new red door {they're trying to sell their house} so my keys didn't work anymore, but my dad was there so i was able to get in. i grabbed a few things that we had left upstairs in the office {and i still have a few more things to grab sometime ... moving stinks}, the hardware travis needed from his old room there, and our vacuum cleaner. so i guess you can see what i'll be up to this afternoon ...
we hung out and visited with the family for a bit before heading back to tulsa. we wanted to beat the rain. i had hoped to make it back before travis left for class, but he was leaving for class as i was leaving for tulsa. when he got home, he immediately hopped onto his laptop and became incredibly ingrossed in it. annoying. i gave him a hard time about it, so he put it away for a bit and we just sat on the couch together, visiting, laughing, and halfway watching television. he had more work to do, so we determined that it was reading time. he went back to his work and i wrapped up my girls' guide to kicking your career into gear. i thought about starting a new book that had come in the mail for me, but when i began the ggtkycig i started using my personal blog to answer the questions and document the goals the book encourages me to answer. i hadn't kept that up throughout the entire book, opting to read through it first instead. i started going back through the chapters and picked up where i left off. it has only been a week or so, but it was already fun to go back and read the answers i had written. i think it will be good for me.
amelia and kate both want to read the book now. amelia is having a hard time finding it in dallas. it's completely sold-out at all of the bookstores in the area and it was checked out at the library. i was a little surprised to hear that because it's not a new release or anything.
anyway, we were both up late working on our own projects and finally went to bed at almost 1:00 ... this is not a good habit i'm falling into ... which means we both slept in this morning. again. tonight, i'll head to bed on time. hopefully. travis has to work until 10:00 p.m. so i don't know if i'll really go to bed on time or if i'll try to stay up and spend time with him tonight.
