It's Thursday already?

Wow the week has flown by it seems. I have been busy with work and life. Last weekend was eventful. I arrived in OKC late Friday and pretty much went to bed. Jason and I got up really early to get his windows of his new car tinted so we would have enough time to get to Drew's hotel so we could make it into Tinker AFB. As always (it seems) the army or airforce messed up the passes and we had to go through another checkpoint. While Drew was fixing that, Jason, Mandy, the girls and I were sitting in the van. The girls became unhappy, especially Emma, she ate something that upset her stomach. Ok, so we got on to the base and headed over to our designated area to have, as Drew calls it, mandatory food and fun. Tug of war and lunch was schedueled down to the minute. Ha! To make a long story short (too late!) the girls and Jason left early b/c of Emma not feeling well, but of course when we got to the hotel she was fine and playful. Oh well!!! At least I got to see my family!!

Jason and I rested up a bit and then headed out to Oktoberfest...that's right Oktoberfest in September (who am I to argue when to drink beer?) It was a lot of fun listening to music, eating strudel and bratwurst and drinking wine and beer! Sunday, I probably watched enough football to last me the season...HA!!! and helped with laundry.

Monday I got up early to find my way to the Jim Thorpe building and take a merit test for a state job working for the OK Historical Society. Everything was easy EXCEPT the part on OK History. Pretty sure I screwed that part up. What gets me is that the kinds of questions they asked me were pretty trivial and something I could have looked up on the internet within 10 seconds. Oh well, we'll see what happens. I had a couple of minutes to spare before heading to Ardmore so I roamed around the state capitol right next to where I took the test. It really is a beautiful building. After taking some pics, I headed down the interstate to Ardmore to interview for a job there. It was a pretty good interview. We'll see what happens.

So I got home and just crashed. I was a tired girl. I was tired the next day too and thank goodness Anita suggested going to IHOP rather than swimming! Had enough leftover for lunch too. Double score! I still was pretty tired and then started to feel icky. Later that afternoon I remembered I had a meeting that night and had to be there because I'm an officer. It ran long and I didn't get home until 9:15. So tired and icky!! Jason called and told me about seeing Carlos Mencia and that lifted my spirits. Ok, Wednesday...ouch! I pretty much knew what was wrong with me and I knew that must go see a doctor. Didn't do much at work except go to another meeting and then to the doctor. Yup, he confirmed it...I have a bladder infection or UTI (to sound more professional). He gave me some drugs for the pain and antibiotics for the infection. Now I feel a whole heck of a lot better! I'm not very hungry though and still tired, but that could be due to swimming this morning and doing a little butterfly, backstroke and breaststroke....maybe...I don't know So that's it for this week in a nutshell "Help! I'm in a nutshell!" (said with a British accent). Toodles and I'll check you later...
