Day Three of 190: Are we there yet?

One of my friends who has survived several deployments told me to change up my schedule, and several others have recommended keeping busy. I am not sure I can change my schedule because it basically revolves around Lily, but I will try. Today I did keep busy. We took down the Christmas tree and rearranged furniture.

I am the boss now. I have always wanted to move my office to the living room. I work all day in my bedroom office and then sleep in there. I thought it would be nice to move on out to the living room. Jeff has never liked that idea. But, he isn't here to object. Now I have a lovely big office. I had to rearrange our cable outlet connections, rearrange all the Internet stuff and the furniture. And get the Christmas tree outside. I dumped a bunch of Christmas tree water on the carpet my brand new Sham-wow worked like magic.

I am addicted to those products sold on TV. I never buy them but secretly lust for them all. This year I had no idea what I wanted for Christmas and so I told Jeff to get me one of those crazy products sold in commercials on TV. I ended up getting both the snuggie and the sham-wow. They are both even better than they appear on TV. Plus you can pick them up at Wal-Mart. I know I really do belong in a double wide, don't I? I never ever watch any infomercials or QVC because I would be broke. I think I am overly susceptible to TV ads. However, I am lucky that I am too cheep to buy the stuff, usually. I think a little bit of my crazy is showing today.

Tomorrow Lily and I are going to go have lunch at Chuck E Cheese. I am hoping it is not crowded!

Jeff made it safely to his destination. I got two emails and a phone call today. It still doesn't seem real. I still have a cough, ear ache, and head congestion. I haven't started dieting or exercising. Did I tell you I took down the Christmas tree?

It sounds like you are making the best of a horrible situation.
Moving the office, enjoying your sham-wow, and getting on with things.
I'm sending warm wishes to you Marsha.
For returning health and husband.
Warmly,

How's it going? What happened to the last couple of days? Sorry I have not been reading. My computer went kaputz and all my links were on that. Finally got smart and looked at your FB page and found the link. Hope your doing well. Enjoy your new big office! LOL!
