I'm sick. Ugh. Tried to fight it off by going to bed about 8p on Mon & Tues, but it didn't help. The bug was going around the hospital earlier last month, then I went out of town, and many people were better when I got back. I was hoping I missed it. Guess not. 

My throat feels like sandpaper, my sinuses are clogged and I feel like I have an elephant sitting on my upper chest. My inhaler is my friend. 

Doesn't look like I'll be doing either of the races this weekend (marathon or 1/2), glad I hadn't registered yet.

Starting to feel back to myself again. It's easier when I'm removed from the situation, but I feel for my mom who is constantly reminded my grandmother is gone. Sigh.

BUSY weekend! Unfortunately I didn't do 2 things I needed to do: clean house and study. 

Hit a MASSIVE estate sale Sat. I really didn't want to go, but K did, so we went. INSANE. This 6bd, 6bath, had an indoor shooting range, 3 dining areas, arcade room, 2 walk in closest with dressing tables-for just the woman. Freaking out. of control. It was a shady situation I'm sure as everything was just...left. Either they ran or the gov't seized the place...something. Anyway, turned into a windfall for me! I got some great staples, awesome designer stuff and the best part: NEW, with tags still on them. Diane von Furstenberg & Marc Jacobs dresses with $375+ tags on them? I'll take 6 please! 7, Desigual & Citizens for Humanity jeans with tags? SURE! 

Best part was on Sunday everything was 1/2 off the listed price, so we went back to see if the washer and dryer were still for sale. The washer was, so I scooped that baby up for $200!

Imagine walking into an out-of-control house where there was way too much money thrown around, just taking what you wanted and paying less than 90% off? Yeah. I had a BLAST!  

What I cooked today, slaving over the stove, after I picked up my washer! 

3 big pots of stock (veg & chicken)
2 pots of mushroom soup
2 pans of roasted green beans & mushrooms
2 steaks
1 pan of roasted broccoli
1 dish of chipotle-goat cheese queso (for K) 
I'll save the roasted lamb & butternut squash for tomorrow. 
Whew!
