Where have I been?!

So I realized I've been technologically mute for awhile. Zach doesn't like posting on the blog all that much, so our poor blog has been left alone.

The main thing on my mind at the moment is the fact that I've stopped losing weight, which is really weird. I figured for sure when I got this job I'd drop weight like crazy. I am on my feet for 12 hours a day. I'm not exaggerating in the least bit. It turns out that my hospital gets a lot the heart problem people in Central Illinois and even a little beyond that. There are a lot of people with heart problems. I never knew it was this bad...

So anyways, I'm moving for 12 hours. Lifting people (usually rather LARGE people), moving them, changing their bedding, bathing them, taking vitals, so on and so forth. I'm not sure how I'm not losing anything. My meals consist of a bagel (sometimes only a half) with whipped cream cheese for breakfast, a cup of low fat vanilla yogurt with whatever unsweetened frozen fruit happens to be in my fridge for lunch, and dinner is whatever Zach makes or leftovers (as of late it's been chicken soup). I am so exhaused when I come home I usually eat then pass out on the couch after an hour (which is kinda bad, I'm told).

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. On my days off I'm sore like I worked out in a gym for an unnaturally long time so I can't do much in the way of exercise. I'm thinking of trying a really light yoga workout on my days off just to stretch my muscles, but just the thought is exhausting.

In other news it's looking more and more like we're going to move into "the house" as we like to call it. Dad is completely gutting the bathroom and redoing it. He's trying to get my grandma to let him fix the kitchen counters/cabinets and put in bamboo flooring. If he manages all that it would actually be a nice looking house. I'm almost excited about moving there because I'm tired of smelling my neighbors. If they smoke or cook, we get to breath in the smelly nastiness. Also, they have a HUGE dog that likes to play on the stairs so it sounds like a group of kids are running up and down them. Their dog also likes to bark at night, which makes Shadow bark and whine.

I'm hoping this is a good decision...

When I said I wanted the next one...

I did not think Amber would stop posting til I got off my lazy butt and posted a blog myself! So today I did everything but an assignment I am doing tomorrow, and my sociology homework (due the 18th). I cleaned the upstairs bathroom, and swept the whole upstairs. I also cleaned the kitchen counters/stove, watered Amber's little tree (what it is I can't think of off the top of my head), did dishes, and vaccumed the floor. Then I swept the upstairs dirt/dust/etc... down the stairs and vaccumed it and the whole downstairs up. I started the finishing of the laundry. I even put my books back upstairs. All in all I'd say work outweighed play today. Now I am off to check and see how the drying of the humidifier goes (cleaned it too) then check the mail, shovel the sidewalk (lazy maintenance jerks), and finish forging some maps in Halo3. If only I knew what Amber wanted for dinner... I'll surprise her and make a choice on my own, no?
