8 Days

As I'm writing this blog post I'm listening to the rain and thunder. Is there any better sound? It's so soothing to me! And it was sunny earlier today, imagine that! 


So in 8 days I'm having my surgery. I'm so nervous. Not really nervous about the surgery, it's the pain afterwards! So please, say a couple prayers that I have speedy, and not torturous recovery time. Since I'm going to be off work for at least two weeks I've been in TIVO hibernation mode. I've been saving up every show that I watch for at least a couple weeks, so I now have a DVR 50% full of my favorites! Tori and Dean, Cougar Town, Diners Drive Ins and Dives, Kendra, Project Runway, Real Housewives (NJ and NY!) and the list could go on. For me, there is nothing better than vegging out in front of the tv after a long day at work. Totally relaxing. I've also stockpiled all of my magazines, so I should be set! Luckily, my mom is coming to take care of me, and walk Scout for me.  So in the meantime I'm watching dvd's quite a bit!


So I took the day off today to go to the doctor so I could start getting my immunizations ready for school. She was asking me about my shot records all the way from infancy. Who has those!? Luckily my mom did, but I still had to get blood drawn (twice), TB shot, and the first round of Hepatitis B shots. It's a good thing my phobia isn't needles, although I'd much rather have a phobia of needles than vomit. This whole emetophobia thing is getting ridiculous! I got an rx for Zoloft today to try and ease my anxiety about the phobia. Hope it helps. Fingers crossed. Anyways, I also went out and bought some new glasses today. I'm so excited! It's been 6 years since I've bought new frames and the ones I have are seriously jacked up. =) Here's a picture of my new glasses! I especially love them, because a.) they fit my skinny face and b.) they have a nosepiece so that my eyelashes don't hit my glasses all the time!

That's about it for now. I'm still working on my "thoughts on education" blog, but will definitely be posting that one after school is out. My notes are getting QUITE lengthy! Oh, and have any of you eaten the flaxseed granola from Whole Foods? I'm addicted!!!
