Walking Backwards

I have been trying to do an entry for two days, but they all seem to have gotten sucked down the internet vortex. Now, I'm exhausted from another round of horrible classes (I don't think the teacher is supposed to be handing out republican propaganda) and I don't feel like doing a huge entry about my week. I do have some stuff to unload so my next entry doesn't become some epic poem that takes three months to read and is studied by university students for centuries to decipher the hidden meanings. So here it is:

First, pictures of the room/wall. It is not totally finished; I still have to paint another wall in the room, but the main, horribly-complicated-paint-job wall is done.





Second, tickets to Italy are on the way! Woohoo, a month-long trip to Italy is three months away and I am really getting excited. Having the little guy on the plane for fifteen hours, not so much. We are starting to prepare a care package for him to open on the plane with new toys and games and such, but who knows how long that will carry over. I'm thinking the portable DVD player is the way to go. We are also going to have a lay-over in New York so I get to see one of my favorite people in the whole world, Chris, for a few hours. I haven't seen him in three years and dearly miss the guy. Now to find luggage . . .

Thirdly and lastly, I am now off caffeine. Life is not a happy place to be sometimes. I had to quit when my doctor advised me to take it easy on the stimulants as my asthma medication is not exactly good on the heart. I wanna cup of coffee *WAH*. I am going to try to get around this by upping my exercise and dropping my bad things like sodium intake, but I don't know how long those things take before they are effective. And I thought I was healthy :(.
