Monday Update With Pictures

Well, it’s 9:30am, the temperature is supposed to shoot up to 75 degrees today, the birds are singing outside and despite having gotten a really bad night’s sleep, I am in a very good mood!

Springtime always makes me happy.

This is the current view off of my balcony (9th floor):

This was the view off my balcony (slightly different angle) in December after the ice storm:

MAJOR difference… eh? Tulsa is green and blooming right now!

I may post a new picture of me later on that was taken Saturday. I had my sister take a shot of me, and I was actually really surprised. I used to look ENORMOUS in photos. Now? I look average-sized. I am eagerly awaiting the day I actually look fit and trim in photos. Just a few more months…

Anyway, I still feel a bit “under the weather” from my road trip and probably from all the alcohol drinking I did in NH. As a matter of fact, my aunt has talked me into seeing a doctor to make sure that I’m OK. I’ve been having some weird symptoms happening to me for the last few days - panic attack/anxiety type of symptoms. So making an appointment for a physical is on my mile-long list of things to do today… I arrived home to almost 3 months of mail and TONS of magazines piled up on my dining table. My apartment is a mess because I haven’t finished unpacking, either. (I spent most of the weekend lazing around watching Grey’s Anatomy DVDs and visiting family). It turns out that the post office screwed up big time with my mail. When I removed the mail forwarding from NH to Tulsa in January, about half of my mail was still being sent here to Tulsa! Which explains why I wasn’t getting most of the stuff I should have been, including some bills.

This is only some of the magazines and mail that arrived in my absence:

Yep, I have my work cut out for me today!

Also on today’s agenda: possibly go buy a bicycle; work out - either a speed walk along the river or on my elliptical. Not sure which, but I’m definitely going to be working out again today.

Ahh yes, and I may luck out and get some good storm photos later today, as some “strong storms” have been predicted for this afternoon. I have always, ALWAYS wanted to get a picture of lightning. (Yes, I’m a geek through and through).
