Yes, I am an Oddball.

Emily tossed and turned in bed bored, insomnia striking again. 2:00 am Jake wasn't home from work yet and she couldn't settle down to sleep again. She had wanted to be asleep when Jake came home, she knew he would be exhausted and would just want to sleep as soon as he could. If she was awake tossing and turning he wouldn't be able to sleep either. She had been having trouble sleeping for the past week so and so he hadn't been sleeping either. He had told her to take a sleeping pill when he called earlier but she ignored him. Jake walked in just as she was getting up to get a pill, she quickly decided against going for one and just smiled at him as he came into the room, he was already undressed "Still up baby?" he asked her. "I am." she sighed as he eased into bed next to her and pulled her into his arms. She reached up and bopped his nose lightly. "What was that?" Jake asked slightly annoyed. Emily giggled, tired and punchy "It was a

It's been boringly busy lately if that makes any sense at all. It seems like my days are eaten away by work, cooking, cleaning and errands and more errands. At least all the Christmas stuff is done. All I need to do is grab a restaurant gift card for my parents and I'll be done. P & H booked a time share for the six of us to go away for Christmas. I'm really looking forward to that, we're planning on sushi for Christmas dinner and lounging by the indoor pool during the day. Not sure what we're doing for New Years. We usually host P's family and last year my parents came too. I'm honestly not sure if we're going to host again this year (which I would be fine with) because we had everyone over for Thanksgiving. I'll ask P what he would like to do the next time I see him. Right after the holidays Orion and I leave on our first cruise ever. I think we had picked out our shore excursion but I just went and read some recent reviews and they were not go

So it looks like I can only manage weekly postings. Aside from fighting a horrible cold all week it wasn't a bad week. Work was busy, we had a plan for dinners for the week so it was easy (if tiring) to come home and put dinner together quick. I haven't seen P all week because he's been working crazy hours and the cold has been making me extra tired. I hope to see him at some point this weekend. I should really consider making some dinner tonight, but it looks like the rest of them are headed out for Thai food so maybe I won't bother, I'm not really a fan of Thai so I'm probably going have a sandwich for dinner. I hope to come up with a sexy story sometime this weekend so hopefully you'll hear from me again before next weekend :D

This week ended up being a rough one. The day after my last post I came down with a lousy cold complete with fever, body aches, exhaustion, cough and stuffy nose. Everyone that knows me knows that I can't stand having a stuffy nose. CAN'T. STAND. IT. I use nasal spray (like Afrin) on a daily basis just to keep my nose extra clear. When I have a cold the spray doesn't really help and neither do the decongestants in the liquid cold medicine I've been taking for the rest of the symptoms. I hate breathing through my mouth and have trouble sleeping when I have to so between the cold and lack of sleep it's been a fairly crappy week. I felt like I did nothing but chase my own tail all week at work, training a new person and wrestling with unusual requests. P ended up working overtime every day this week getting home around 3am, accidentally waking me (not hard considering...) I hate not seeing him at all and when I talk to him I can tell that he's exhausted. 12 hour
