Holy Moses, a bird just flew into our front window and Duke fell off the couch. Funniest. Thing. Ever.
The End.

Spring-tas-tic
For all of you NOT in Kansas, we welcomed Spring with a snow storm this past weekend. Thankfully it wasn't near as bad as projected, so no shoveling was necessary. We need the moisture *blah blah*, but I hate all the mud it creates in our backyard. We have to carry Duke from the garage to our bathtub each time he goes outside. Stupid mud. We lucked out with a dog that loves bath time, so of course he enjoys it. I have a feeling our bathtub pipes won't love it as much.
Life over the past three-ish months has been good :) Work is crazy, but that's nothing new. Hubby and I continue to work on our house, little projects here and there. Thank cheesus the first year of marriage is over, things seem to be getting better each day. Every now again we have a typical terrible day, but we handle it with patience. As long as he continues to clean up his clothes on the floor, all will be great (HA!).
My depression medication has been making me feel 'blah' for the past couple months. I haven't had any panic attacks BUT I have zero motivation to do anything, not even crafts *GASP*. So with the consensus from my Dr., I'm getting off of them. Apparently this can happen after a couple months on Pristiq. For those with severe depression, it's good to feel 'evened out' and 'blah'. Not so much for me, I'd like to enjoy things and care about things I used to love. So starting last Wednesday, I'm alternating my doses. Instead of daily, I take a pill every other day. Last Thursday morning was rough, I hadn't taken a pill since Tuesday and I was extremely dizzy. Of course I had a departmental meeting at 8am, so I was up at 6:15 am to get ready. I felt woozy and nauseous. It was so bad I ran into the bathroom door and split my toe nail open! It was the day to take a pill, so a couple hours later I felt okay. Probably shouldn't have drove to work...meh.
Since then, I've been feeling okay. Saturday morning and this morning (Monday) have gone good, I haven't felt near as nauseous or dizzy. No toe nails have been broken and all doors remain intact. I'm so thankful it's been a smooth transition thus far. I heard from others getting off of it that it gets rough when you starting skipping two doses, which makes sense. But I'll just choose to celebrate this baby step while I can! WOOT!
So to help with getting off meds, I've joined the YMCA with my bestie Casey. We've both got post-wedding weight gain, so it's about time. Dog walks aren't cutting it anymore :) We've started doing Zumba classes M,W,F and Saturday each week. It's really fun! And my body hurts the next day; a good hurt. It's been three weeks, and I feel great! Haven't weighed myself, but I feel good so that's all that matters right now. And now I can get dooooooooooooooooooowwwwnnn on the dance floor, with out looking like Elaine from Seinfeld.
I LOVE the Hobbit. And what in the heck is the Harlem Shake?
