Wizard.

The Last Three Days.

Ugh.

The last three days I was sick with an infection again. (But this is no news because Dystonia lowers your immune system so you're sick all the time and bad.) So anyway, the two days I was supposed to work, I was spilling my beans. 

And I was supposed to take my nurse entrance exam today. 

But guess who's a wizard? Yer a wizard Brenny! The power went out at the LCCC student services building, so we went directly to the testing area. As I was explaining to the lady that I had to take a nurse test and "it's very important, I need to find out which testing center it is. The power went out in the student service building where I was supposed to take it...."

Zip!



That building too! And my testing building. 

Which.... all the computers with the Kaplan test where obviously not all-go. "Call again!" is what they told us (Wyoming for come back soon), and I now have my "three week wait" waived which means I can take the test (still) twice because I tried today, and I won't have to wait three weeks to take it for a second attempt. So I can still get two in before the nursing applications are due! More time and more attempts! 

Abracadabra. 

 Since the test had to be taken at the main campus, we were in Cheyenne. I was feeling mucho better after two/three days of solid sleep,  and Austin was antsy to get some fun in before law school Wednesday.... so we made a day of it :)

We started in the downtown with all the fun buildings and homes...


Did the whole "that house is my dream house!" Shoot. Mine came with a Vespa lol. 

Found a freaking Asian market.... like.... pretty dang legit amidst all the cowboy. (Austin prefers mango drinks from the phillipines, I had to get my lychee.)

Shopped a bit since we had the opportunity. Austin found a sweater at Ross, I found me some new shoes (hallelujah my patchy-toms got a buddy! And no I will never get rid of my toms!) These suckers are from Blowfish! At TJ-Max! I actually eyed these suckers when dreaming about botas or desert boots and thought "gee one day when I have $55!" Uh.... $25 at TJ's. This was the best score since I eyed my yellow dress for $30 on Target.com and found it as an online return a week later at Target in Idaho Falls for $2.00. In my size. The shoes were in my size. Fashion gods love my 5'9" size 10 footed self. 

Michael's was another place we visted because all of my childhood was that store and beyond. Mom and Aunt were the Klutz Inc. people! Usually when I find my mom or my aunt's books in a store, I pull them all out and shove them in front of all the other books. You're welcome Mom and Sherri!

Then Austin found me the most glorious thing...


Halloween had arrived at Michael's, and it came in the form of cheap googly-eyed monster nails!! I cannnnoooottttt wait for FALL!

And just as if the heavens heard me, it stormed. Even better, I got to ride home in the storm with Austin.

(wizard, right?)





Austin and I thought oh gee I wonder if the rain hit Laramie again so we don't have to water the remnants of our garden! Heck no we didn't have to, and all this crazy stuff popped up to our surprise! We'll take a 1/4 of our garden surviving anyday!




Guess what. PUMPKINS. 

PUUUMPPPKIIINNSS.


I can't even handle it. I think I see Fall in the air already!


In the meantime... I've been daydreaming about it eating these bad boys. Cinnamon roasted almonds! Can't wait to have some nutmeg and pumpkin! What's your favourite season?


(I think we should grow an almond tree lol......)

xoxo, from Wyoming!

The Last Stretch

I am on the last little stretch before the surgery! It's amazing how in denial I can still be, thinking that I do not have anything wrong. But then you get a wake up call when your body does funky things you can't stop, and then you fall down the stairs twice. Once I popped my shoulder, and the second I popped a hip and broke my back molar coming down on my side. So I got that tooth fixed ASAP, thank the heavens it didn't damage any roots! At the dentist my mouth was opened for an extended period of time, and needles were involved. Just when you think you have this whole Dystonia thing under control.... another reminder! I got lock jaw while working as a floor nurse! My jaw had increasing pain through the week, and I revisited the dentist. Nothing wrong with my tooth. At work, it sealed shut (and not to be gross) but when you have an intense cramp like that, it causes immense pain. I do in fact throw up sometimes from the pain. Well if your mouth seals... and tons...

Call Me a SAHM in Training

Stay at Home Mom (SAHM)  Besides a medical leave and two maternity leaves, I’ve always been a full-time plus on call nurse mom. I am now almost two months into being a SAHM and I would have to still say I’m training! A lot of you have told me routine is so important, and I’ve been trying my darndest to do that. We do library time or errands in the morning, naptime and quiet time after lunch, and art and outdoor/indoor active  play until dad comes home! Some days it blows up in my face, much like what we’d call a s-tshow at work, haha! Except these are my monkeys and my circus! But mostly because I am learning and loving it, too. I struggle with anxiety and depression. Ever since I was little. My post-partum depression with R was so difficult. I am so lucky to have an incredible husband and health team that honestly kept me alive during that time. Luckily, I was treated prior to giving birth to A too because a) it was known I get PPD and b) it’s better and easier to tr...

Sunday Eats

Finals are upon us! Wish us luck!  So a little about life lately... or you can skip to the awesome food at the bottom lol. Well, we might need that luck especially cause I kicked a stool on accident in the print lab and broke two toes all crazy like. Then proceeded in my 12 hour no-break printing frenzy standing on them dang toes.... and sick.....lol! That's what I get for not wearing my brace. Good thing we are done with Insanity! That's right, you heard us! Done with Insanity, the 9 week program :D We both are going to take our pictures soon and post them! We are doing hip hop abs for the next two weeks as finals are happening (and it's less intense on my toes) then starting Insanity all over. Yes, we are insane thank you ;) We actually were kind of freaking out because this fall, we apply to law and nursing school! We finish in April, but will hear most likely in the winter where we will head out to.  I might wait to apply until Austin chooses a scho...
