The sun is actually shining here this morning although it is below the freezing mark so it's cold!
I'm trying to figure out what's going on with shower plans for DD. I haven't heard a word from the matron of honor. She's DD's friend who lost her twins in December and now her husband may have to undergo shoulder surgery. I know she's having a hard time and I'm trying to do some investigating on what to do without stepping on her toes but at the same time trying to get something in the works as time is counting down. From what DD says she's super sensitive and at this point I feel like I have to say something but being extremely tactful at the same time. If I was in a financial position I would just say I would do it but I can't. So I'm trying to investigate options that will keep the cost down for everyone and not insult her in any way.
TGIF-this has been a long work week. Everyone is saying the same thing. Not for lack of things to do. Things have been very busy just slow moving days.
No workout again last night. Otto and I took our walk and by the time I got in it was well after 7 and well.....the temptation for a nice hot shower and my pjs just overwhelmed me. Maybe I'm still recovering from the time change.
Nothing on the after work agenda except changing into sweats and recovering from the work week.
Nancy-how was the steamboat ride yesterday? Sounded like fun!
Well better get moving. Hope you all have a fantastic Friday.
Good morning ladies........I have been missing in action but today is Friday and yes I am off! Unfortunatly I am not feeling well. I started with a slight head cold on Monday night and it has gotten worse each day/night. I am finally going to the doctor today at 1:15 and just hoping they will give me something to help and not tell me its viral and has to run its course. I have been up each night with a sore throat, choking and coughing fit around 4 am, it caused me to drag my butt this week at work. On Wednesday I left early around 2, Thursday I got into work late around 10:30 and that is not me at all. I feel really kicked in the pants this week, washed out and exhausted. I slept until 9:30 this morning and my throat was on fire when I got out of bed, so I figured this is crazy. I am supposed to go to CT tomorrow to babysit my nephew but I am thinking the other family members might have to step up to the plate this weekend. I so do not want to get that baby sick.
As you all know my birthday is next week and I am not feeling overly happy about it. I haven't in a while and in some ways I feel like I am fighting off some depression issues here. I want to talk to the doctor about this today as well as my head aches. They seem to be coming more often and that is not right. I wonder if my blood pressure and my cholesterol are high and need to be checked. I think some blood work might happen today besides the check up for the cold/throaat. The winter weather has not helped, my worries with Katie, the weight is an extreme reason.........so many days feel out of control. I rejoined WW online this morning and I plan on using this week as a "Happy New Year" to me sort of thing. I had a client last week that told me it was his birthday and he uses it as the fresh start. He said the New Year (January 1st) was just to hectic of a time and I totally understood. So with this in mind I am going to focus on some changes starting this week. Since I have little time to go to a meeting or the gym I am going to use the online tool for a while to watch my points and track myself. What time I have left will be started with some exercise, even if it is only in small amounts. I hope to start on Monday because I should be feeling better by then.
I actually just talked with my sister and told her I was not coming up. I will ask my other sister to stay or I will ask my parents to head up there on Sunday morning to replace me. I plan on staying put this weekend, work on my food/menu for the week and get better.
Well its getting late and I need to shower before heading to the doctors office. I hope you are all well and having good days. Sorry I have a lot to catch up on here so please forgive me.
I've been wasting the morning away... Bumming at the shift I have at work. 2:00-6:30.. I don't get it but I understand we have another person who has come to our store due the other store closing but it just messes
Well I am back home.........went to the doctor's office but first I had to find it. First time there and I drove by the place 3 times, told them they literally need to hang a shingle out front! Saw the covering doctor, nice lady who first asked me about my BP. Said it was awfully high and wondered if I was on any medication, if it ran in the family and if I had any symptoms....let me think, does a daily head ache and pains in your arm count???? She then went on the check out my ears, nose and throat. I have a sinus infection and she prescribed these huge horse pill size antibiotics that I need to take for 10 days and a nose spray to dry up the yucky stuff. Then we talked about my BP again, she pulled blood (darn that hurt) and she did an EKG. She said the EKG was alright but something was dipping low, not sure what that meant but she wants me to take my antibiotic and nose spray through the weekend, rest up and come back on Monday and see her. She will have the results of my blood work then and she will retake my BP. If it is still too high we need to talk about medication. She said not to use Motrin or Advil but Tylonal or Excederine instead. From the doctors office I was heading home to pick up Katie and called the shop to talk to Bill. He gave me the bums rush on the phone and that really hurt my feelings. Last night he worked until after 10:00.......amazing when I don't feel good they are never around to help me. Pisses me off actually! Picked up Katie to take her to the tutor session where she says to me well you "only" have a sinus infection so I should still be able to drive to CT and babysit this weekend. Like what??? I looked at her and just started to cry..........I am a mess today. I said why is it no one takes me seriously when I say I do not feel good? Nothing changes in this house, I still cook, clean, pick up, drive, work...............all at just a slower pace. My sisters yelled at me and told me its my own fault that I need to go upstairs, under my blankets and tell them all to figure it out themselves so I think that is what I will do over the weekend, let them figure it out themselves. Although I will admit I stopped at the grocery store and bought the makings of some chicken soup and I have the chicken on the stove on a low simmer now. The doctor said to stay away from salt and the canned stuff is not good to eat so I figure since no one else will make soup for me I would make a pot and enjoy it. After loosing my temper with Bill I spoke with my MIL who got to listen to me cry and complain........she must have talked to Bill because he spotted my car at the pharmacy and stopped to see if I was alright, lol. Actually said to go home from there and he would get Katie at 5 for me. My MIL just called and she is actually on her way to pick up Katie and she wanted to know if I needed or wanted anything. I asked her if she said anything and she said yes. She yelled at him and called him incondsiderate, lol. She gave him a piece of her mind......yeah mom, lol. Well I am going to head upstairs and throw some sweat pants on and light my fire place and read a little. After the soup is made I will take a short cat nap. Thanks for listening to my wining!
