I can't believe we are through the first month of 2020. This month has flown by. I think it is because we are decompressing from the holidays, almost done with our renovation and Rory has been on a work trip. And all the stress, ha.
Onto this month's What's Up Wednesday...
WHAT WE ARE EATING THIS WEEK...
Sunday: Weeknight Spaghetti Bolognese (my MIL made dinner!)
Monday: Take-out after cleaning and moving my house back.
Tuesday: Take-out as it will be our first night back in our house.
Wednesday: Take-out as I have no groceries and the girls have swim class.
Thursday: Take-out as I have no food at the house.
Friday: Hopefully will be able to cook dinner at home since Rory will be home from his work trip.
Saturday: I have a baby shower and then family dinner after.
WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT... Nothing really. Ok, maybe the thoughts of living in a house that isn't being renovated. I am sooo over the renovation this time and really hope we are almost done.
WHAT I'M LOVING... I love my NeilMed Sinus Rinse. This has saved me this winter season. Yes, I did get strep, but my nose has been pretty amazing. I can breathe, my nose is clear and I have been rinsing out all the crud that is in my house from the renovation.
I love wearing leggings when I can which is pretty much only on the weekends. Yes, I wear jeans more, but I love a good comfy pair of leggings. These are amazing. I cleaned my entire house and moved my entire house back in while wearing these leggings and they were awesome. You can't see through them, they hold their shape all day, they hold their color after washing and don't snag. Real winner!
WHAT I'M DREADING... After all of my tests, we came to the conclusion that surgery is the best option. So I am sort of dreading that. I am happy that my pain will be gone (fingers crossed) and hopefully my blood test results start to normalize. My surgery is Friday February 7th, so I am dreading the countdown and the actual surgery.
WHAT I'M WORKING ON... Work, putting my house back together, cleaning my house and getting things back to normal.
WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT... Living in a basically brand new house, having my husband home, getting my body healed and hopefully start traveling for work again!!
WHAT I'M WATCHING/READING... Last month, I read these two books and then I quickly read Her and now I am reading Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover. I have another book that I just received that I want to get started on, so hopefully I can read Maybe Someday quickly.
I am watching all of my usual favorites like: This is Us, Grey's Anatomy, Riverdale, The Bold Type and Botched. I can't wait for Ozark Season 3 to come out and Better Call Saul!
WHAT I'M LISTENING TO... Pandora.
WHAT I'M WEARING... It has been very weird weather here. We had weather in the low 60s this last weekend, but then yesterday it was in the 40s and VERY windy. So I have been wearing a lot of sweaters, jeans, leggings and work pants. I did get three new shirts from J Crew and I am really loving the sweater I got. It has the perfect bubble sleeve to it and the jewels add the prettiest touch.
I am also wearing my new Sorel boots since we have had some rain lately. These are amazing and super cute too.
WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND... I have a baby shower on Saturday and then Sunday is the Super Bowl and you best bet that I will be watching since my 49ers are in it!!!
I asked around if I should wear a dress to the baby shower and I got a resounding yes. I didn't wear one to my best friends shower last March, but decided I should this weekend. Since it is still winter, I opted for a fall/wintery color that I can wear to work. I purchased this dress.
WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH... Having my surgery be over with, date night at a Steakhouse since Rory has been on a foreign trip, having my house renovation be done, relaxing at home, spending time with the family and hopefully going on a work trip at the end of the month!
WHAT ELSE IS NEW...Not much.
Weird weather here too - good luck on your surgery!
ReplyDeleteAnother surgery? I'm sorry to hear that! Glad the home renovation is almost done!
ReplyDeleteYep. I hope this is it. I am sooo glad that the reno is almost done. It has been a lot lately.
DeleteSorry you’re having to have another surgery. Hopefully you’ll be back to feeling yourself again soon!!!! Can’t wait to see the renovations when they’re done! I see that brand is leggings at tj maxx often. They’re so soft!
ReplyDeleteI really hope so. And I hope this is the last one for a very long time. I can't wait to show off the renovations. They are pretty amazing, though the process has been tough. That brand is at TJ Maxx? I need to take a look at mine for them.
DeleteI've never used that sinus rinse but I love my Neti pot made by the same people! I'm so sorry you have to have yet another surgery. Fingers crossed this one is the last one.
ReplyDeleteYes, they do make both. I have a neti pot too, but use this rinse bottle more. I am so glad you like yours as well. Yep, hopefully this is the last one. Just gotta take care of myself.
DeleteOh my gosh - another surgery???? You know I'm just hating that for you.. .but keep that eye on the end goal of feeling better!! For you & your family.
ReplyDeleteI tried that nasal rinse - have a Neti-pot too - & every time - EVERRRRY time, it gives me ear infections. The water doesnt pour back out of my nose either - it drains to my ears... You know THAT aint right!
I know you are. I thought of you when I made my decision because we have been through so much. But I am hoping this is my last time forever. Fingers crossed.
DeleteSome people hate those rinses and neti-pots. My doctor was surprised that I actually like them and do it twice a day. He said most people stop. I do feel some full sensation in my sinuses every so often. That is awful that the water drains in your ears. I am so sorry that you have to experience that. I wouldn't do it either.
I need to try that sinus rinse because the congestion is real over here. I'm sorry that you have to get surgery and hope this will bring you some relief with things.
ReplyDeleteIt really does help. I love it and my husband is going to start using one. He needs his own, so I just need to order it. Thank you dear friend. I hope this is it. I can't take these surgeries anymore.
DeleteGood luck on your surgery, I hope you get some relief. I love you and Rory's steakhouse date tradition.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I hope this is my last one! And yes to our steak tradition. I can't wait for it!
DeleteGood luck with your surgery! I bet you just can not wait to be back in the house and have it all put back together.
ReplyDeleteI sooo can't wait for that. It has been too long. And thank you for the luck and prayers for surgery!
DeleteOh no, I've been so out of the loop, what is the surgery for?? How exciting about your house reno!! can't wait to see pics
ReplyDeleteI will email you about it. I haven't shared too much on here as it has been a rough subject health wise. I can't wait to finish this reno and be done. It has been a long process, but worth it.
