The Final Push

The last two days have been wicked hard.  The move went well, but boy that was WORK!  Yesterday was spent getting our house back in order.  Even with some help from hubby it took all day.  Today I need to finish -- about 2-3 more hours worth.  Yes, it was that messy!!  It's the final push and my house will be returned to order (at least until my youngest comes home lol).

It's funny how when one thing get cluttered in my life, lots of things get cluttered.  I hope a clean house = a clean body.  The good news is the sweets are GONE from the pantry.  Huge sigh of relief.  I'm on my way.

Pup is steadily improving but refusing to eat much.  Vet put him on a eat-what-he-wants diet.  Lordy is he happy.  Lean beef and rice ... grilled cheese for pill taking.  Now I'm cooking for the dog lol!

Tomorrow is my hair day.  This should be interesting.  It's been a source of stress and frustration and almost anger for 7 weeks.  Why?  I don't really know.  It's just under my skin.  So I'm hoping for something closer to blonde and I'm walking in with DARK brown eyebrows.  Ugh.  I can't win this battle to save my soul.

Continuing with all things vain ... my nails.  The SNS doesn't chip or peel at all (and I like that you don't go under the lights).  My nails grew super long but I can't file them down.  Overall, I don't like it.  They feel like fake nails.  Sometimes I get crazy and want it off NOW.  It feels uncomfortable (probably because they are so long now).

I read that gel starts peeling when nails get weaker.  That was probably the reason gel wasn't working as well as normal (I peeled it off a few times and weakened my nails).  That said, since it doesn't peel at all, I think I should do it one more time for Italy.  My nails will be good the whole trip.  I am going to have her make them short.  Maybe I should do it until my nails grow completely out so they will be strong enough for gel.  Hmmm.  I'll have to see.  The other issue is I'll need to wait until the end of the week (so they don't get too long in Italy).  I don't know if I can take it until then.  First world, petty problems.  I know.

Okay, time to start the day.  Lifting at home and then finishing the clean.  If that all happens in a timely way -- ERRANDS.  I'm so behind on EVERYTHING!!

Re-reading what I wrote, it seems like I'm in a pissy mood ... but it's not that bad.  I'm just sore from 2 days of back-breaking work and anxious to get to the HAPPY stuff.  And worried about my hair - yes - I need therapy or something lol!!  Later gators.
