Mid October Already?

Lately I have been so busy and have had such a hard time getting the chance to write anything.. and things just keep getting even more crazy!!

I had the surgery on my wrist 3 weeks ago yesterday.  Recovery has been a bit harder than I expected.  Originally they said it would be about 45 minutes.  Well it was double that!  They said I had a lot more fluid in my tendons than they had expected and cleaned it all up.  SO, much more swelling and soreness than I expected for recovery.

Still wearing a brace for some support and comfort, but trying to take it off more and more.  Occupational therapy starts next week with a certified hand specialist, and that should make a big difference.

Work has been absolutely insane and I've been ripping my hair out for weeks.  FINALLY starting to relax a little after the past month, and hopefully that will continue.

This past Saturday I started my indoor bootcamps again.  I had a few new people and it went REALLY well.  Pretty excited about this group too.  It made me feel great and that I'm doing what I should be doing.

I keep looking up other training jobs and class positions open online.  I just have to find a few minutes to sit and send out a few resumes.  Everything with my wrist threw all of that for a loop and pushed back some plans, but at least now I'm in better shape for it.

Puerto Rico with the girls is in 3 weeks from Friday!  I can't wait!  This trip is going to be SO much fun!  I've been looking forward to this for months.  Getting away, hitting the beach and going out dancing.  Things I need and can't wait for.  :)

We had another girls night this past weekend for Kristin's birthday.   It was pretty cool that for dinner there were 10 of us!!  I love this group and I'm so happy that I've found the group of friends that I have. 

What else???  Other than the biggest change?  I'm moving.  Starting now.  Officially, I have already moved, although my stuff is still pretty much still in the old place.  Cats are moving this weekend along with hopefully most of my clothes. 

My boyfriend asked me to move in with him and I said yes.  So I'm sleeping here every night and getting ready for work here in the morning.  I went to my apartment after work yesterday to clean out a few things and pack up a little.  Kitchen pantry is almost done.  I brought over a bunch of food and some more stuff for the bathroom, along with the clothes I am wearing to work today.

After work today, I'm going back to the apartment, trying to do a LITTLE more but I have to be at the track for the running group at 6:30.  Between changing for that, grabbing clothes for work tomorrow, and feeding the cats, I won't have too much time.  But I do have a bag of stuff from the kitchen, the spoons and random kitchen tools, another box of food stuff and I'm taking a cooler to grab the stuff in the fridge.  I'm hoping to get a couple of other little things out of the pantry and to have that completely cleared out tonight... to get at least one thing done.

My boyfriend is clearing out the 1st floor apartment in his house that he didn't finish his rehab on.  Two rooms will be cleared out and cleaned out.  Then we are buying 2 12x12 rugs and I'll bring over a few smaller pieces of furniture for the cats.... like the ottoman and some sofa cushions.  So the plan is for them to get their own apartment by the end of the weekend.

And then my boyfriend has to build the closet he's giving me.  Its just a very small room right now, a doorway into it, then the doorway to the attic.  He's putting the rod up for my clothes and we are getting shelves in there too.  I'll put in the shoe racks I have (4 of them with 2 shelves each!) along with a small 3 drawer dresser.  Between that dresser, the shelves and the rod to hang clothes on, I should be okay for the most part. 

I'm putting 2 other dressers on the first floor for off season stuff and things I don't wear as much, plus I can use the dresser and closet in his back spare bedroom.  He has set up the 3rd bedroom basically as a mancave.  We bought a new rug for it 2 weeks ago and cleaned the whole room out.  I picked up new curtains and curtain rods for him in there too.  And that was all before he asked me to move in!

So... trying to get all of that done. At least I am taking all of November to move as well. I still haven't given notice on my apartment.  I'll just ease into moving in, so I don't have to rush it.  And then I can go through everything a little easier.

I plan on tossing SO much.  I've already purged a ton, between my last move 3 years ago and then every few months or so, but still.... I HAVE A LOT!  Just out of my pantry, I have 2 bags of trash already!  Between trash, donate, keep and store.  Those are the 4 categories I have.  We'll see how I do! 

Okay... might be late for work. Still haven't showered today!  Ooops!
