I love having a day off

I guess with a day off work, I have no excuse for not updating my blog. Today has been great because I've done nothing really. I slept in, cooked a big breakfast, and have been watching an "America's Next Top Model" marathon all afternoon. In my defense, I was really productive yesterday, so I feel good about bumming around today. I will still probably work out tonight and walk to Smith's to get a few things I need, so the day isn't a complete waste.

Anyway, this last week has been good but busy, frustrating, and fun all at the same time. Valentine's Day was rather uneventful (just the way I like it) but John and I did go to dinner. We went to this Thai place called Kamin here in Logan. I had never been there before but always wanted to go and it was very, very good. I was glad we made a reservation though because it was so crowded. The waitress even offered to take out picture, so we have that little memento.

I couldn't get Gypsy to keep her collar thing on, so I decided to get creative and made her a nylon body suit. She looks very ridiculous. It is for her own good though so her incision can heal. It was starting to look really yucky, so I took her to the vet on Saturday morning and they confirmed it is infected and so I got her some antibiotics. It has been a whole new adventure trying to get her to take them twice a day. I hope she just gets better soon so things can get back to normal.

Friday I picked up my new contacts, so that has been the frustrating part of the last few days. After nearly 12 years of wearing soft contacts, I decided to switch to hard, or gas permeable, lenses. I just wasn't seeing great, even with a new pair of soft. These first few days have been terrible. My eyes are watering and itching all the time, driving sucks, and I basically feel like I'm seeing lopsided. My sister, Rebekah, made the switch a few years ago and she really likes her hard lenses, so she's been really supportive. She keeps promising me that it will get better and soon I will love my new lenses too. I do actually see much better with them, I just need to get used to them. Luckily I decided to get new glasses (after more than 14 years) so I get to wear those for some relief.

My mom and dad came up this weekend for a family weekend at Kayla's ward. I tagged along to the dinner/talent show part, so that was fun to have some family time. They also came over to my place to sit in the hot tub, which is always a good time. It's always a treat when people come to Logan to see us since we drive down to Salt Lake so much.

I think that's pretty much it for now. I'm going to enjoy the rest of my day off, go to bed early, and have a productive 4-day week. Woot.
