The work day was the work day...full of work. It was a rather slow moving tedious day. We didn't end up going out for dinner. I started not feeling well after lunch-in fact during lunch. I was really hungry when I came in at lunch time and by the time I put the salad together and I felt so full I couldn't finish it. I just didn't feel right after that. Usually I'm looking for something to eat by mid afternoon but just didn't have any appetite and pains in my back and lower abdomen. I swear I'm falling apart a piece at a time. Doctor had given me a lab prescription if this happened again so I'll be off to the lab before work tomorrow. Needless to say we didn't go to dinner. I didn't want to go just to go to dinner if I wasn't going to enjoy it. So we'll go another time.

I finally heard from the doctor on my bone density test. She's usually very informative and takes the time to answer my questions but it was a very brief conversation where I was pretty much told that my levels are to the point where I need to be on medication and she would mail me a prescription. I don't even know which one she's putting me on. Not much of a chance to ask questions. Looks like I'll be popping yet another pill.

It poured here today. At one point in the afternoon it looked like night and the rain came down in sheets. So far not much change in the humidity. The temperature isn't that high but the humidity is so the ac makes you absolutely freeze but without it you feel like a damp towel!

Otto and I did head out for our walk but wasn't a very pleasant evening for a stroll. He doesn't seem to mind unless it's raining then he's not venturing out the door unless absolutely necessary!

I think I'm done for the day. The day has worn me out so I think I'm headed to bed for an early night. Hope everyone is doing well this evening.

Well ladies another day come and gone................Miserable weather here earlier this morning and afternoon. Today was yet another work day filled with stuff. Thank goodness my boss was at two closings and out from 10 till when ever. When we left at 5 he had not yet returned. Last night when I was going to bed I felt funny. I had this urge to go to the bathroom many times yet I could not urinate (sorry for my boldness). This morning it still bothered me and as the morning wore on I had more trips to the ladies room but I hardly went. Left at 1:00 to pick up MIL for her doctor visit but because it was pouring out there I went home and changed out of my skirt and put on jeans. Then I grabbed the old station wagon and headed to her house. It was coming down in buckets. While waiting for her to be seen my "problem" kept getting worse, sending me to the ladies room 5 times in 40 minutes. Once MIL was in the room I decided to not play this game anymore and I went out to make an appointment. I offered to come back later but they said, no just let him look at me now. So this time I gave a sample and it turns out I have an infection. So he prescribed an antibiotic for 5 days. But he also discussed the fact that I had not seen him in 1 1/2 years nor have I had a physical or blood work done. Oh man, leave me alone! He took my BP and well it was high, or so I was told 160/100. He drew blood and is sending the urine out to the lab too. Just what I needed, right. I dropped MIL back home, dropped my prescription off at the pharmacy then headed back to the office to make up the extra hour I took. Come in to find out that the young woman who worked part time in the afternoon decided she couldn't work anymore because of babysitting trouble and had to quit our job. But she notified us by fax! OMG, we were floored, my boss however was happy because he really wanted to get rid of her. Which leaves a problem with afternoon coverage...........I will find out more tomorrow morning when he gets in. I worked until 5, picked up my medicine and then headed to the nail salon for a fill in. They took me right away and I had my nails fixed, which felt good. Came home and made chicken cutlet parm with pasta and bread, cleaned up, did a batch of laundry, cleaned the cat box and well here I sit. Going upstairs in a minute but I guess I will pop another antibiotic before going to sleep. Hope everyone had a nice day/evening.

Today was actually better than yesterday (wouldn't take much for that) even though it wasn't easy. My throat is irritated from the smoke last night and the house still smells like smoke even though I've sprayed Febreze air freshener, run the AC, and washed the AC filter. I hope I'm not going to need to have the upholstery and rug cleaned. Wonder if it could be in the drywall...


I did a lot of thinking about our dinner last night and realized that I was a real jerk. Tim had a really horrible day with IT problems and those problems

Deb, please work with your dr to get your blood pressure under control. Hope the infection clears up quickly.
