I'm glad it's Friday. It's been a hectic week. I don't have much going on this weekend which I am thankful for. I should vacuum though. My home is very hairy. And every several months, I have to yank and cut all the hair out that's stuck in my vacuum rollers.

I might go and splurge on a steam mop. With all the cooking I do, I end up with a really dirty kitchen floor. I use those Wet Swiffers which is okay but not very effective on anything crusted on. I have a brush, but I don't really want to be on my hands and knees scrubbing away. So...a steam mop might be the answer to my cleaning! But I have no space to store it...

Mr. Nick comes home this weekend. It will be nice to see him again, but I have enjoyed my freedom -- the freedom to do what I want without having to work around scheduling him in. I have missed him, but out of sight out of mind has always applied to me. While he's been away, he's called quite a few times, and I appreciate the calls. But with the time difference, the calls haven't come at a convenient time. I hate having personal conversations in public, but he's been calling me while I'm going to work on the bus. (Not to mention, I only get 200 daytime minutes a month on my cell phone). I wouldn't mind a short conversation, but he's really looking to shoot the breeze. Or he's called while I'm at work. I share an office and there is no privacy for having long personal conversations. The only time I only like having long conversations is when I'm at home after dinner and before I go to bed.

And boot camp is done! Hurrah! No more of that crap. We got measured today. I don't think my body has changed. I was extremely bloated for the first set of measurements, so it appears that I've dropped inches. Where I didn't drop inches, I got bigger! I might re-do the pushups and sit-ups on my own since I think I missed testing day. But I can pretty much guarantee that my count would be worse. I have lost strength doing cardio core boot camp!
