Stop the winter, I'd like to get off

On Wednesday morning I was getting ready for work, and I was checking the weather as I am wont to do in the winter time, cause I like to know when this hell will be over. I don't check it in the summer time cause all it will show me is I'm going to be happy. But in the winter time I check it every day just hoping to get above 30 degrees. I looked at the weather that morning, and it said it was going to be 50 degrees that day and the 10 day was going to be in the 40's and 50's and I got super, super excited. I decided not to wear my winter coat, I wore my jacket instead. I was praising the groundhog and thinking that the long depressing winter was finally over. Then I went outside about noon and it was rainy and freaking cold. I checked the weather app to see how it could have betrayed me, and I realized I was looking at St George weather. I was furious, and thought about burning my phone in effigy. After a few minutes I realized I'd still have to deal with the bad weather and buy a new phone on top of that, so I went on with my life still looking for a glimpse of the warmth that the groundhog promised me. If it doesn't happen by March, I'll be having groundhog for dinner.
Priya is doing well with her cast. You don't realize how a cast will effect your life, like forcing you to buy a new TV. We have a small TV set up to the big TV so the girls can watch their shows when I just can't handle watching Sofia the First for one more second. Or Llama Llama. Man I hate that show. The TV sticks out a little bit, and I hit it with my hand all the time. Every time I do that I think one day I'll break the TV. The other night I was carrying Priya to bed after brushing her teeth. I turned around with her and her cast knocked the TV right over and broke it. The Priya proceeded to tell me off because it was too loud. I'm not entirely sure what she said, but it was terrifying. The next day she told me off again about it. At least it's President's day weekend. It means I can go to RC Willey to get a TV, and stop at the IKEA to get some meatballs. Silver lining people, silver lining.
I'm happy to report I've kept up my new years resolution of exercising for 30 minutes a day. I'm really digging it too. My rule is still if it sucks I'm not doing it, but I've lost a few pounds and I notice I don't sweat as much when I open the refrigerator.
We got a little more information on Priya's hip surgery. Right now her femur isn't straight on her leg, so when they do the surgery they're going to take a chunk of her femur to help make the new hip for her. I'm not sure what they're going to do with the hole, and how they're going to fill it in. I'm sure they have something, but it's kind of weird to think about. That will help when they do the leg lengthening because her femur will be straight. Still if there was anyway we could get out of doing this I would, just to not put her through this. The time will come and go either way, and hopefully this will help her be able to get around better. The fantastic news is that there is a specialist in town that will be able to do the surgery. All he does is hip replacements. That's a tremendous blessing. Honestly she handles it all so well, and heals so quickly I'm anticipating things will go well with this.
The girls loved Valentine's day. We always do Indian food for Valentine's because no one is there. I don't mind going out to eat but I don't want to wait for an hour and a half with a bunch of teenagers. You can actually smell the hormones raging. So I had egg curry, and didn't have to smell hormones.
Please stop going to Texas Roadhouse. Seriously it's very mediocre. I will say that their mushrooms are amazing, but next time you want to go there just call me. Give me the $80 you were planning on spending, and I'll make a much better meal for you and pocket the rest of the money. That's my recommendation for the week. Stop going to Texas Roadhouse.
Thanks for reading! Feel free to share this blog. I used to have 250 readers on average, but then I got out of the habbit of writing every week and it went down significantly. Or I offended everyone else. Both at possibilities.
