The one bad thing about autumn . . .

Anyone else having really bad allergies? Mine always get bad at this time of year but today was truly awful!! I woke up with what I would describe as a migraine (or maybe just a very, very, very severe headache) and I could tell it was from allergies because my eyes, jaw and ears hurt. My ears have been clogged up all day. Sometimes I couldn't even hear out of one of them. So I took some pain reliever and a Sudafed but they hadn't kicked in by the time I had to go to work. When I got to work I just wanted to sit down because driving was agony. My boss was in a really bad mood and was kind of rude to me. After he left and my medicine kicked in I had an okay day. I'm just exhausted. I don't know if I'm getting sick or if it's just the allergies. I did read somewhere that allergies can cause fatigue, so maybe that's all it it. I also slept ten hours last night and oversleeping often causes me to feel icky.

Anyway does anyone else want to see the Secretariat move as bad as I do? I think it's out today, but I can't afford it right now so I'm not even going to look. I'll just watch Charmed on Netflix. :) I hope the movie is good because I'm really excited about it.

Other than that there isn't much going on here. I'm on my ninth day straight without a day off and have to work tomorrow. I'll be off Sunday so maybe I can recuperate and maybe visit with some friends. I bet that will make me feel better. :) I'm also going to try to do something with the dogs on Sunday because I know some of you miss hearing about them and I know Jackal probably misses our training. If you can think of anything fun for me to teach him leave a comment. It can't be too advanced. We haven't done anything in a while so I want to do something easy to warm back up. :) Later!

P.S. Oh and I loved everyone's comments on Chrome and the car. Thanks for the laugh. :)

My Routine Lately

Okay, my sad little routine lately has been as follows. I wake up late because I stayed up too late. If I get up early I spend some time reading blogs. If I wake up late, which is the majority of the time, I hurry to feed the animals, eat breakfast, shower, dress, find something to take to work for lunch, go to work. Then when I get off work I once again feed the animals, shower (if I didn't that morning), eat supper and then spend time with my husband. Since his back is hurt that consists of watching movies or playing computer games until waaaay late.

Evenings are also spend doing housework (I'm finally caught up on laundry yay!!). After that I either spend time with my husband as stated above or I spend my evening time reading blogs, email, Facebook, reading forums, editing pictures and making or scheduling posts on my blog. Lately it's also been spent preparing for NaNo. I haven't spent time with my friends in so long they probably don't remember me. I'm sure if I didn't spend so much time on the computer I could probably get more done, but after work I don't feel like doing anything because I'm on my feet all day. No wonder I don't feel like training the dogs, playing piano, biking or any of the other things I love to do. Sigh. Just not enough hours in the day and the days are already getting shorter AHHHHHH!!!!! Anyone have any suggestions for organizing my time better? :D

P.S. I'm not trying to complain (yeah right when am I not?) I just wanted to let you all know why I'm so far behind on reading everyone's blogs again and not posting much. The biggest reasons are because most of my time spent on the computer now is preparing for NaNo and reading a stupid horse forum that I periodically become obsessed with haha. Oh and don't read it unless you want your blood pressure to go up. There's a lot of arguing on it hehe. If you're interested in Chrome's hooves and the progress we're making you can see his thread here. If you aren't interested in conformation and/or hooves it isn't very interesting. Anyway I'll try to be more productive soon, if I don't freeze to death. :)
