Just call me Chi Chi *Edit*

Bl, er, ah, I…, oh, o, k, bu, no, conec, Alber… oh, ya, bu…  – that’s all I can hear on the other side of my cube wall and I want to yell “SPIT IT OUT”. Jesus. I’m in no mood today to listen to her make herself sound more and more ignorant with every broken syllable that comes out of her mouth. Ok – that’s enough of that.

I’m pretty tired today and not really feeling all that great. Rob & I decided to go to Earl’s lastnight with some gift cards so we could celebrate Valentine’s day. Dinner was awesome and the wine was really good. Too good. 2 bottles on a “school night” good. Red wine also makes me horny, so it was a late, late night lastnight and I’m paying for it in all sorts of ways today. Not so much hungover…just not right. Kind of queezy, tired – that feels like your skin is buzzing tired and sore…I’m not sure why my right upper leg is numb and super uncomfortable – perhaps I had moves lastnight that I don’t recall. It’s 1:41pm – Rob picks me up at 6…oh boy! What a long afternoon this might be. I think I’m going to have to go out for a walk or something later – just a quick one. Long enough to get slapped around by the below freezing temps. Maybe I should walk up the block and go for a tan. Oooh – that’s a great idea! Little nappy nap in the tanning bed. Only 8 minutes, but if I strip down quickly, no lotion…I cold lay there for an extra 2 and a half minutes before the lights click on and then maybe get way with another 2 minutes after the lights are off. Pathetic, I know. If I had the truck today I’d bundle up and go out there for a bit to close my eyes, but Rob’s car crapped out once again, so he dropped me off this morning.

The long weekend was good – I suppose. We left for Caroline Friday night and got there about 9:30pm I think – Jayme had just put the kids to bed. We had a few drinks and got caught up on all her relationship drama. Jesus. H. Christ I’m so glad I’m married and not “in the game” anymore. Facebook seems to lead to nothing good when it comes to relationships and this is no different.

Saturday I got up early – way too early for a Saturday – colored with the kids for a couple of hours and then creeped facebook with Jayme for SIX hours in the afternoon. We were supposed to go out to the Valentine’s Day Cabaret at the community centre, but no one felt like getting showered and ready, so we stayed at Jayme’s had dinner and busted out the blender for some drinks. Jayme went to bed earlier than us- I think Rob & I poured ourselves into bed at about 4am…after I convinced him he had to call me Chi Chi from now on…I’m so clever when I drink! We slept until noon on Sunday and left Jayme’s around 4 to come back to Calgary. I think I was in bed by 9:30pm Sunday night and slept until 11am – it’s just too much for me being out there – I love it, but we eat too much, drink too much, sleep on an air mattress…I just have to pay for it for a really long time when we get back to real life. And I’m paying extra now because Chi Chi was at dinner lastnight and was pouring the wine down my throat. My whole effing body hurts today. Maybe skipping the chiropractor this weekend was a bad idea – I feel like my right leg is out of joint at the hip and thus my whole back and neck are off….hopefully those Aleve will help or rather than a walk I might be C-Training it downtown to get a good cracking. The pain from my hip is radiating right down the back of my leg into stabbing pains in my heel – it’s weird and it’s irritating.

Our whole management team is off site today at a business planning retreat, so it’s pretty quiet –email is super slow. It would be a good day to catch up…you know, if I had any motivation to do so, which I do not. It’s a short week this week since yesterday was a holiday, but I’m thinking about making it shorter by taking Friday off. My boss is away until the 27th – it’s really hard to take time off when she’s here, but her acting manager will approve it for sure – she doesn’t need my help and my boss doesn’t need me when she’s away – even if it is business.

I had a dream lastnight that my mom and I got in a huge fight. I don’t remember what it was over – I just emember it taking place on a cruise ship (that looked oddly like the Titanic). I guess that must be my guilt kicking in since I’ve been putting off calling her all weekend. It feels like a chore rather than something I look forward to. It’s unfortunate…but Christmas really changed the light that I see her in and it’s not very pretty right now. That’s a whole other entry since it’s making me angry just thinking about it now. I think I’ll pass for now.

My ass hurts and I still have 4 hours until Rob picks me up…I just want today to be over and the pain in my butt/leg/foot to go away.

****

Went to the chiropractor – sure enough I had a rib out under my shoulder blade and both hips were out of whack. Apparently I thought I was a gymnast lastnight when Rob & I were…staying up late…

I’m adjusted now – hips back in place, numb irritating pain pretty much gone…still 2 fucking hours of work left.
