On Friday, I had my brother, Nicky, and my nephew, Alex, slept over. I picked them up and we came back here, watched some TV, Ray played video games with them and we just hung out. It was such a nice feeling seeing them both so happy to be with me. They miss me so much and I miss them too!
I bought these AMAZING curtains for my bedroom. They are those light eliminating ones. I purchased them at Walmart for a set of two for $14 in dark brown. The weird thing is that they're almost sheer but they seriously block out SO much light. When I sleep, it needs to be completely quiet and dark. Sometimes I would rather run away and sleep in a cave if it meant darkness and quiet. In the morning, it is not pitch black in my room, but a perfect amount of light where if I do open my eyes, I can go right back to bed. I am really proud of them and I definitely found a great purchase!
Saturday was such a gorgeous day! Like, unreal. It was the first time I cleaned up the leaves from the yard. I borrowed my mom's leaf blower and went to town. It felt so nice to be outside, and it didn't feel like work at all. When the weather is nice, I get into such a great mood. Everything just seems right. I'm one of those people that gets effected by the weather. When it's nice outside, I am beaming, but when it's nasty, like yesterday, I turn into wet mop. That's why I enjoy my daily walks not only for exercise, but to feel good on the inside. Sunday I worked and then went to The Tavern and watched the end of the Jets game (WAHOO) and then most of the Giants game. Raymond likes the G-Men and was getting upset when I was cheering for Dez Bryant on the Cowboys who's on my Fantasy team and has been KILLING it week after week for me.
I've been sitting with a hot wash cloth on my cheek because the pressure is so built up in my sinuses. It feels like someone is tightening a screw under my eye. If it gets any tighter, I feel like my eyeball is about to pop out. My teeth are numb too. I'm getting a septoplasty tomorrow morning. I have been getting pretty bad sinus infections for the past one and a half years. One just popped up yesterday and this is my second one in a month! The surgery, as far as I know, consists of breaking my septum and straightening it out, so each sinus gets equal air intake. Then going into my right cheek, through the nose, where my infected sinuses are, with a camera and some kinds of tool to clean out all of the nasty tissue that is causing the problems. They said it's only a 45 minute procedure and I will be leaving that day. I have to be at the hospital at 6:30am and hopefully leaving that afternoon. I'm not too nervous, because two years ago I had my tonsils taken out and surgery/recovery went really well. I really like my nose the way it is, I think it's a very cute nose, and I'm a little worried that I'm going to come out looking like Michael Jackson lol. I have off two weeks of work because I work with kids and have to bend up and down a lot, and that's a no-no when a kid can smack me in the face and then my nose explodes in a blood gush Carrie style. What a lonely girl I sure will be being home by myself EVERYDAY for the next two weeks! I apologize now for any inappropriate blogs fueled by my altered state of mind from the pain killers I will be taking.
I have to make sure I clean up well today because we're having company on Friday night and we all know how neurotic I am about keeping a clean house. Overall, the house is pretty clean though. I'm gonna make some lunch and start my day. I will definitely post about how my surgery went and my experience; hopefully it will help someone else! One.
