Good Morning
Happy Monday!
How was everyone's weekend?
We spent Saturday in the park downtown, we had Cate's pictures taken and then we met up with some friends for lunch. Yesterday we spent in the yard trying to get some control on the weeds, I'm burnt to a crisp. I loaded Cate up with sunscreen, a big hat and did nothing for myself.
A little Sydness update: She is doing ok, they've given us some medication to *try* and keep her calm, she takes the K12 twice a day for the next month then we are back to the vets for another round of blood work. She hasn't fainted since last week and the vet can't figure out why that happend...only my dog!
Re: Good Morning
Good Morning. My weekend was nice - I went shopping with my best friend on Saturday and got some nice things (for me and for my house). On Sunday, MH came home from his trip with his brother and brother's friend in tow so I made breakfast. Then we cleaned up our cars and I worked on the garden - btw, if you have a shop vac and hard places to get leaves from your garden, use the shop vac...it worked! Anyway, this morning I woke up with the WORST headache. Our weather is changing drastically - it was 70 yesterday and they are calling for snow tonight. Sigh.
That's a great idea, Mandy - I might tell Greg about that one because the landscaped (rock-filled) areas around our house are HORRIBLE with leaves right now.
It was... well, it was a weekend. Friday I had to stay late at work, then we ran errands all night (mostly unsuccessful except for spending $100 on Xena's food and treats. LOL Of course, she's set for a few months.)
Saturday I had to go back into work; on my way home, Greg called. Uncle Mike isn't doing well and he and FIL went down to see him. (Uncle Mike stays with a friend when he's feeling poorly so she and HH can watch over him. He stayed at their house most of last week and couldn't keep anything down at all Wednesday-Friday last week.
He's in a lot of pain, scared, but still has a great sense of humor. He woke up Saturday and said "I want to go home today. And I want my brother here. Am I going to die today?") There's a lot of "friends" that have turned into vultures just circling overhead waiting/trying to take anything they can get their hands on. It's very sickening and sad.
Sunday we put off the stuff around the house and continued running errands to pick up some stuff for the house.
I have my Dr's appoint today, and am oddly excited (I'm talking to my Dr about alternative options other than BCPs to control my insanely painful cycles because I'm tired of the side effects of the BCPs. I'm a little nervous because I think she's going to push me to stay on them and won't believe me when I say "Nothing else has changed except these pills... and I'm having weight gain, headaches, mood swings, and anxiety." Nice $165 pills, huh?
It's going to be a crazy busy week, so I quite possibly won't be around all that much. Email me if you need me quicker than I'm around here.
Good Morning.
We weekend was busy and super short. I had to work on Saturday and then I went shopping & made some candy for Sunday. Sunday was my twin nephews b-day party so were over there all day. It was a good time.
The weekend was too short but only in 9 short days I will regain my life again. April 15th can't come soon enough.
I attempted to go shopping yesterday but couldn't find a damn thing. I'm sorry but I'm not will ing to spend $30 on a t-shirt. Why is it that whenever you have a few extra $$ to spend, you can't find anything but when you shouldn't be spending $$ you see a million and one things you'd love to buy.
Caro, I'm glad Sydney is improving, I hope she makes a speedy recovery.
Paula: the shop vac is especially good for areas where you have shrubs (I used it to get the leaves out of a shrub and out of a bush that is kind of like a tree - I couldn't get the rake in the middle to get the leaves out). PLUS, it doesn't pick up the heavier rocks and such.
I'm sorry about uncle Mike. I hope that...well, there's not much I can say.
Thanks, Mandy. Obviously, I'd give about anything for him to just be better and this all be a bad dream, but part of me wants it to be over for his own sake (I feel sick & wrong even thinking that) - MH said he's in a lot of pain and is very swollen and also very weak. Not to mention him being sick for DAYS on end, and to be scared for weeks on end...
I know exactly how you feel - that's how I felt with my uncle. You just want him to be in a better place - and to NOT hurt anymore. It's ok to feel like that. He's fought very hard for a very long time with this.
Morning...I'm here and have a department meeting today. I've been having some cramping this morning too so I have to call my Dr to make sure it's nothing.
Paula I'm really sorry about YH's uncle
Morning...I had a good weekend. The weather was fantastic! It was 75 yesterday and now it's raining, getting cold, and windy again. Saturday we mowed and seeded some bare spots in the yard. We cooked out and had some friends over for a fire in our homemade firepit with smores! Then Sunday we took the dogs to the river and I had to deal with some tenant issues. We cooked out again with friends and watched marley & me. I was sorta tired when I first got up but now I am much better. I have another busy week at work. Started off not so great so I'm really dreading the rest of the week.
Paula, sorry to hear about YH uncle.
Caro, glad Sydney is doing okay.
Kristen, hope the cramps go away and are nothing to be worried about
Melanie, you are almost there only a few more days!
*crosses fingers and toes*
I've had 60 oz of water already this morning because my mom told me the same thing. It was much worse this morning and has gotten slightly better. I still put in a call to the Dr though and waiting for her to call back.
I think they were because the cramping has definitely gotten better. Just making me nervous since I haven't felt any BH yet and this pain was not fun!
Mine were just a tightening feeling, I don't think there was any pain, then again, that was awhile ago and I kind of blocked out the uncomfortable PG memories. People say it's just your body's way of getting you ready for the real deal.
I hope it was nothing serious and just keep resting and drinking water.
