Happy And Oh So Tired

mythicalgirlWork was something of a bitch this past week. I'm still not done with the IVR coding despite working my butt off. Which means I will be plugged in at some point this weekend to try to get the remaining code done and unit tested before tossing it over the wall to my tester. I was hoping to get it done yesterday but I ran into an object that isn't working (corrupt) and some needed transaction tweaks to make shit actually post on the system and, well, then it was time to go to the gym. Where I torqued my knee a bit so I was limping girl all last night and part of today. I kneeled a lot today while working on the flower beds and that seems to have helped - whatever was out of place slipped back to where it belongs so I'm now limp free again.
Earlier I managed to drag myself out of bed at a decent hour so I could start working on the yard. Weeding was accomplished as was cutting back the ornamental grasses in front of the house. My arms are now scratched all to hell but the job is done. I did another coat of stain on the deck (horizontal surfaces only this time), showered, went grocery shopping and ate a late lunch. I'm now beyond pooped so I'm doing a little surfing while the laundry is in the wash. A nap may be in order and while work is beckoning I know better than to attempt IVR code when sleepy. Makes for very strange results.
I'll be working from home on Monday as I need to be here when the heating & air conditioning guy comes to do the tune-up on my system. I don't really like using a whole day for something that will take 30-45 minutes but they wouldn't do a Saturday appointment. They'll be here between noon and five - quite the appointment window! Oh well, I tend to get more done in less time when I work from home so maybe things will be OK.
Italy is scheduled - Dad and I have our flight overseas and I have my flight to Dallas to meet up with him. There is a couch in Santa Lucia di Piave reserved for me for 7 days this September. I'm so excited, you just don't know. I won't get to Pompeii this trip (maybe in 2011?) as we're going to concentrate on Northern Italy due to time constraints. Venice, Verona, maybe Milan and Lake Como. I'm reading up on places and making my wish list of where I'd like to go. I've been to Venice before but I want to see it again when a) I'll appreciate it and b) I'll be sober (long story).
And in other news I hit 203 this past Monday but was back up a few pounds by the end of the week. A combination of eating several meals out instead of bringing my lunch and some bloating possibly attributed to ovulation. I'll work out tomorrow, being careful not to overdue it with my knee, and weigh in again on Monday. Hopefully everything will be back under control then.
Now I need to put the laundry in the dryer and read some comics online. Later!
