Ouch! That sounds super painful!
During one of my few times out of bed, to go to the bathroom, I managed to run into the door frame.. and I hit my 'funny bone'... so misaptly named... painful, and then right after that happened, I stubbed my toe on our bedframe getting back into bed. Painful day all around!

Well that sounds awful! What a sad way to have time out of bed!

I'm bored out of my mind in bed, I leave bed, and I just run into things and hurt myself. Definitely not fun at all! :(

I told Alex when he got home tonight that if all that was going to happen when I left bed was me running into things I would stay in bed, but because Sophia is making me need to go pee like every 5 minutes it feels like, I can't just stay in bed. The conclusion I've come to is the world is out to drive me mental at the moment.

Poor girl. But not long left! I need to go though, my thumb is positively killing me.

Although life usually is out to drive me mental, just lately more so than normal.
But yes! Not long left!!!

I hope your thumb feels better tomorrow, and isn't hurting you as much!

Thank you so much, dear. It's actually feeling a lot better today. Just the side of it is hurting right now. But now I have a fever for no reason.

I've been battling a headache and my liver is being quite evil (long-term health thing, obnoxious and not deadly). Went on my son's field trip today. Decided we'd go ahead and buy our lunches early to avoid a crowd. There had to be close to 10 other schools there - it was insane. He ate a few bites and promptly thew up - and had a fever - so I had to pack everything up, clean him and the booth, then (literally) drag him past exhibits and people, to an exit. Located AFTER you go through a gift shop full of every toy imaginable. Lots of dragging and screaming. It was a joy.

People moved out of our way for some reason. Could have been the vomit on the child's clothing. Or the screaming. The good news? We made it out of Atlanta well before rush hour, saw some cool exhibits - even though we didn't see much of it - and decided it's worth a revisit with the whole family. Woot.

Ugh, that had to suck majorly. Long term health issues are frustrating. I have two friends and a godmother with lupus (I know an inordinately large number of people with lupus), and when they have flares, it's just terrible.

I hope the poor baby feels better soon and everyone can go have fun together at a more comfortable pace.

Steel: That's good at least that it's feeling better but that's not good about the fever!

Elmira: all of that just doesn't sound fun! I hope that your son feels better soon!


My rant for today, I keep getting told "you need to keep your blood pressure down." Ummm, don't you think I already know that?! I'm doing all I can to keep myself as stress free and all of that... Being told that time and time again isn't helping me feel like I am able to really do it, I mean I can - but it makes me just want to strangle someone or throw something or scream, or all of the above...

But the plus... less than a week!!

I always hated when people tell me things like that. Especially when it stresses me out in the process. *hugs* But yes, less than a week! That HAS to be exciting.

Yeah, the constant reminder just doesn't help. I've been told my doctor that's what I need to do - I'm well aware of it.

And if Alex tries to stop me from getting up and doing basic things after this week is over, I may slap him. Because I've spent three weeks pretty much stuck in here, I need to get things done, that sure other people are doing, but it's just so hard for me not to be able to do them myself.

I'll still take it easy, but to not have to be stuck in here... It'll be wonderful!

Yeah, people don't understand that nagging about something you're well aware of is completely unhelpful.

Exactly!
And it's that it's that everyone seems to be saying it - not just one person.
It's those little things that add up.
If it was only one person, it probably wouldn't bother me nearly as much.
If that even makes any sense.

Nope, it makes total sense to me. When everyone is saying it, you hear it a thousand times a day and you just want to scream at everyone to shut up.

Thanks, y'all. I think he's better - he's trying to con me into buying toys. I take that as a good sign!

Less than a week, Livi? That's fantastic! Totally hear you about the well-intentioned nagging. It's still nagging.

Pizza is a mixed bag. All depends on what was on it. Do not beat yourself up!!

Sorry, my mood went from so-so to downright crap and I had to get off and hide my laptop from myself before I threw it across the room. xD Nothing anyone said, just me.

Was the pizza good, Steel?

Elmira: YES! Less than a week! yes, nagging is still nagging, no matter what. And I know what I should and shouldn't be doing. I'm not stupid. I know that people mean well, but when it's all I keep hearing, it doesn't help me from stopping myself from snapping.

I'm glad that he's probably feeling better. Yay!

No one likes to feel handled or managed. I mean, if you were really sick and unable to function, I could understand the meddling. They mean well though. I'm just glad you're getting some help even if what you're experiencing is irksome!

He seems better today, but still coughing. Hubster is home from work and they are hanging out.

Thing is, we would be in trouble if we didn't have the help. Even if mom doesn't seem to listen and still makes me want to scream at her. Which I won't do because I refuse to scream at her in front of my daughter.

Sounds like a good day. :) Hopefully he keeps getting better. ^_^

Haha, that is definitely a good sign. The pizza had ham, bacon, pineapples, tomatoes, and red bell peppers on it. But the dough is the problem for me. I am a carb addict.

Awww, major suckage. I'm sorry your mood took a nosedive. The pizza was totally delicious. Has the nagging improved since you talked to your mom?

It likes to do that, without warning. Just dive down, and put me into a bloody horrible mood. And that's when I go into hiding, and only reemerge when I'm feeling a bit better.
That's great! I got the hubs to go out at 9 pm last night to get me a pizza. xD People were talking about pizza in RAK and I just started craving it, it was amazing and good as well. :) I even kinda sorta shared with my hubs. XD
Mmm, a wee bit, but not as much as I'd like. I need to talk to her again.

My daughter made some pizza with gluten free flour last week - even hubster who is very anti-healthy-food-ever enjoyed it! Took some time and the dough was something similar in behavior and consistency to an old horror movie monster (the yeast was making it move - very creepy!) it turned out well!

I'm very glad you're feeling better, Livi! I tend toward hermit-like behavior when I'm wrestling with making a decision, health issues, or general annoyance with the planet. It happens.

Found out from a co-worker just who I need to speak with about my current job. The final nail in the coffin for working now came about this week when I found out how much Otto's summer camp would be in addition to the cost of gas - the site is on the other side of our county. With the restrictions I have to maintain to keep their income based insurance (and my inability to find private insurance because of their disabilities, plus hubster's current employer has abysmal insurance), I will have to hold off on working for them until Otto starts Kindergarten in early August. We've also been dealing with allergies (crazy high pollen counts) and viruses coming home with Otto for the past 3-5 weeks.

Right now, I'm trying to decide if I'll take the offer by this co-worker to be a mediator or try to communicate with the person he suggested. In the meantime? I'm going to run errands.

Are y'all going to be on much this evening/weekend?

I've been a hermit more often than naught these past weeks. But I will still snap at people if they invade my bubble when I'm in hermit mode.

That all sounds stressful. :( Hopefully y'all can figure something out that works.

Nothing really planned this weekend, I'll be in bed, probably in hermit mode. Or something like that. Not sure what the hubs has planned for Becca - if the weather cooperates, maybe going to the park? *shrugs* I've not asked him yet.

I'm more in the not wanting to anger people mode but getting over it. I'd rather just tell them flat out than keep them wondering. Just tired of making snap decisions then having them blow up later, so when I had new pieces of conflicting information, I thought it best to wait a while before deciding. Yes, we could really use the money but not having it won't pose a problem with paying bills. Hubster should have an idea of which shift he will be on if he stays with his current job within the next two weeks. The other job he really wants won't start till July, so we have some time to figure out what's next.

I am subscribed to an online programming course site and may revisit it this summer to work on projects. Not income-generating, but skill-building. I hate feeling like I'm flailing around and tend to make decisions quickly when necessary. Slowing down and really REALLY thinking about the possible repercussions is annoying!! I wanna do it now!!! Not 20 minutes or 2 months from now!! And I want an oompa loompa!

Ok. I need to gather the troops and leave the house for realz.
