Holla! THE AVETT BROTHERS!!!


Yes. This is real life.













I considered making these pictures larger, but I figured it would take approximately 18,078,314 years to scroll to the bottom of the page. For some reason Blogger is being impossible and won't let me upload the videos I recorded at the concert. Stupid computers. Stupid websites. Trust me. It was such a spectacular concert.

These brothers put on a real show.

A Sick Day: Margot & Me

Welp. The sickness saga continues. More of the same. I felt kinda icky {yeah, icky} at work last Monday, but not too terrible at all and I felt pretty much normal by bedtime. However, when I woke up for work on Tuesday I felt way worse, but it was too late to call in. I went in to work and went home sick by 9:30 {they told me I should just call in late if I'm sick}. Wednesday was better, but I still felt ill. Thursday and Friday were fine!

Then I went to bed on Friday and all hell broke loose. I was SO SICK. Moaning in bed, up sick so much {as a nurse I feel I can share all details, but I'm realizing that real-life people do not agree with me}, and absolutely no sleep. None. And then I went to work! Fun! Obviously, I considered calling in, but I really needed to work! Mama gotta pay those bills. Truth be told, it really did suck and I was so blessed to have an easy load.

Unfortunately, last night was little better than the night before, so I knew I just couldn't press my luck at work again. So here I am. Home. Still feeling crappy. I do think {maybe? hopefully?} I'm on the mend, though. I'm feeling so guilty calling in sick today. I mean, I was just off nearly a full day last Tuesday for this same thing! I definitely need my hours because I'm fresh out of PTO. Plus, this is a lot of time I'm being taken away from work and possibly causing scheduling conflicts.

Oh well. Roll with the punches, right? Here are some sick day Photobooth pics of my precious pup and my {ever so disgusting and pudge-faced} self.







Enjoy the rest of your weekend! I'll be posting about our SPECTACULAR concert last Friday {yeah, I'm really behind} hopefully later today =)

Autumn in Arizona

Whilst on my commute to work for a class this morning, I couldn't help but feel robbed, jipped, ripped off, denied, & conned out of AUTUMN. I know all the rest of you in the throws of Autumnal weather are all, "Shut your mouth you lucky biotch with your countless sunny days and lovely temps!". I get it. BUT! I can't help but miss it. Plus, my wardrobe is pretty limited when anything that covers you up is off limits. I'm tired of shorts, and I'd like to throw some tights under my dresses, thank you very much.
  

*Not Autumn in Arizona
~sigh~ 

For now, I'll just continue to fake it by drinking loads of apple cider, burning pumpkin and harvest scented candles, and {if the hubs allows at least for a little bit} keeping the apartment cool enough so I can wear sweats and cuddle up with Margot. Oh yeah, and cuddle with Phill, too, sure. =)
