you and the 6 raised me right.

and another thing...
i thought that i was done ranting about my mother-in-law and her sister's visit. apparently i was wrong.
they both smoke. so not only did i have to deal with that nasty smell on them all week, and with their complaints about how cold it was when they went outside to smoke, but i'm finding ashes and cigarette butts all around the front porch and driveway. just because you put them in the snow doesn't mean they go away. ew. so gross.
i'm also not looking forward to our utility bills next month. i don't mind paying a bit more because there were extra people in the house for a week: extra showers, a little more laundry, that sort of thing - it makes sense. but i swear to god they didn't know how to turn off light switches. i was constantly walking around turning off lights in areas/rooms that no one was using. i also discovered on the last day of their 6 day stay that his aunt doesn't turn off the tap while she's brushing her teeth, just turns it on full force, rinses her brush, then leaves it on while she's brushing. ugh! stufff like that has been ingrained in me since i was tiny; you don't waste resources like that! what makes it funny is that they would both yell at josh if he left the door open for a minute while he took the dog out. obviously, that's a peeve of mine as well, but it only bothered them because they personally didn't want to be cold, not because he was letting the heat out of the house.
i don't even care if this makes me sound like a nitpicky crazy person. it's just inconsiderate.
okay for real now, rant over.
on to other things.
i'm allowed to put my full weight on my left leg. i've taken my aircast off, and am walking with one crutch indoors. i still wear the boot and use 2 crutches when i'm outside, but that's just because the snow/ice/slush makes it hard for a cripple to get around.
i'm going back to work tomorrow. i've been approved to go back on modified duties, meaning i'll be sitting. i'm training in ct, so i'll be doing the scanning, sitting at a console for my whole shift. i can't wait to get back, and have some general human interaction as well as get into a routine. that said, i am not looking forward to a 0730 start, and i'm going to have to be in well before that to get myself settled. they gave me a special parking pass so i can park in the lot closest to the hospital, but then i have to walk all the way to the other end to change and put my things away, then back to the front to my department. here's hoping it's not too ridiculously cold in the morning.

This is one of the most adult bloop entries I feel like I have ever read. I love it.
Seriously though, it's funny, how now that we are adults; all of the things it seems as if our parents taught are...other peoples parents didn't teach! When we, the children, start finding these things as nitpicky, in our parents or spouses parents....it is beyond annoying.
I hope that your first day back goes well!

haha seriously, as i was typing this i was thinking "that's right everyone, i'm your dad now. turn off the damn lightswitch when you leave a room!" and did not even care.

The smoking part would have driven me insane. The lights and water bit would annoy me, but the smoking bit would really piss me off!

Im a smoker but when im at a non smokers house & go outside I put em out on the soul of shoe & put em in the pack cellophane then put em in pocket till I get home. Its just considerate. I don't want buts in my yard so I wont leave em in some1 elses... My hubby is the same way about lights. I call him the power police.. lol

Those things are definitely inconsiderate, especially the cigarette butts. Next time they come you'll have to give them a coffee can and tell them what it's for. ^_^

That would make me angry too! I always turn the water off while I brush my teeth. People really need to be more considerate when staying at someone else's house.

Yay for going back to work!! I am sure it will be nice to be out and about around others again. I'm sure the dog will miss you though!

Right?! I had so much trouble reading those texts! I'm still not exactly sure what she was trying to say at some points. lol I have not talked to her since then. Kevin stopped by his dad's to pick up the hand truck so we could move our stuff and she asked him if we were going to his grandmothers for Easter. I asked him if he told her we'd go if she won't be there. lol
