Back to A Routine

I hate to admit it, but I do like my routine and get a bit out of sorts when it is disrupted. The last few weeks I have taken a day off in the middle of the week and still worked my four days - meaning that I came home Friday and had a two day weekend. I was used to the Monday - Thursday thing and a three day weekend.

Friday is usually my busy, around the house, chore day. I typically cut grass, wash cars, scoop dog shit. You know, the usual middle-class domestic stuff. Saturday was reserved for the few items that needed to be crossed off the list left over from Friday, and Sunday was typically an easy day - hanging around the house, relaxing with Jen and Jessie, watching movies or sports. The past few weekends have been compressed and short, way too much rushing around. I am enjoying my Friday off:) Thanks for asking.

Other notes...Jen is recovering well. Other than the fact that she doesn't read her prescrition meds bottle - last night she was feeling itchy, crawly if you please - insomnia was also present. So I asked my general diagnostic questions - starting with the obvious. After doing a bit of research found that, sure enough, some of the side effects that she was experiencing with Levaquin were documented. So we checked the dosage on the bottle - one 500 mg per day.

WOOPSIE! Jen had been taking two per day. That folks is 1000 mg per day for a 100 lb woman - bound to create some side effects. Anyhoo, hopefully, after today Jen can get back to her regular sleep patterns once the medication leaves her system:)

Tech notes...I just preordered Apple's newest operating system Tiger. It ships on April 29th and the new additions make it worth while as well as a great deal from Amazon.com. Amazon is offering a $50.00 rebate off of the family pack (5 computer install), as well as $30.00 off of your first purchase if you apply for an Amazon.com credit card. I did, and the TOTAL cost for the Tiger Family Pack upgrade is $119.99 - that's $10.00 less than the $129.99 Apple charges for the single user upgrade at the Apple Store. I am such a geek:) I'm actually splitting the cost with my In-laws (Hi Bob & Jody!) since they are "switchers" (from the PC world to Macs). That in itself is a subject for another blog!

Vacations are upcoming. We are excited about going down to Amelia Island to visit Jen's parents, and Jen, Jessie, and I are flying up to Phila to sightsee and visit my parents in NJ. Should be fun!!

Oh, don't forget TAXES! Have a great day, I'm off to scoop doggie doo:)
