The good is that I had a nice weekend and today is our two year anniversary. It was really nice having an extra day off work. Erik and I celebrated our anniversary a little early and went out on Saturday night. We went on a dinner/dance cruise on one of the boats that runs on Lake Erie, which was really fun. On Sunday, we went out on my father-in-law's boat and went tubing. The weather was gorgeous.
Yesterday, we had my parents over for lunch, and they brought over a hole digger. We're putting in a fence for privacy along the one side of the outdoor patio area. We didn't invite them over to put them to work, but my dad promised his neighbor (who he borrowed the digger from) that he would have it back to him that night. So, needless to say, Erik and Dad began digging holes, and Mom and I went up to Home Depot and got the posts. We also got an arbor (arch) and assembled it and got it in the ground. By the end of the week, we hope to have it done. Erik is taking off all week to work outside on that and on cutting down some pine trees and bushes in our yard. I'll be taking off on Thursday and Friday, so a two day work week is really nice.
The bad is that my throat was scratchy last week, and it didn't bother me on Saturday, so I thought it was going away, but I was wrong. On Sunday, I started getting congested, and yesterday, I was sneezing some and had more congestion. Today didn't start off too badly, all things considered with returning to work, but now I'm feeling rather miserable. My tonsils are irritated, and my nose is all plugged up. Stupid cold.
Is it just me, or do I seem to get sick more often than most people? Maybe I just complain more than average. The weather is absolutely gorgeous outside, and being sick really stinks, because that means I can't enjoy the weather like I should. I think being at work tends to increase my misery when I'm not feeling 100%.
It also annoyed me greatly that someone had used my bench space over the weekend at work and left a mess. Someone also removed some pipets from my drawer and left them out, when I have specifically left a sign above my drawers that say not to remove anything without my permission. I am very particular in how I want things kept at work, and I despise sloppiness in the lab. There are too many messy people, and they are so damn inconsiderate of others when they leave messes for others to clean up. I wish those idiots were all fired.
