mintyblueair oh my! I'm sure it will be lovely to see them more often but that's quite an adjustment to all of a sudden have them move close by.

Wasn't trying to compete. Just feel like it would be harder to think that on a Wednesday. Oh gosh. I wasn’t speaking well. I have a bad headache today lol. I meant to be apologizing that I didn’t mean to sound like *I* was trying to compete. I am trying to work on making sure I don’t me monster or self center ya know. I didn’t mean to blame you. Love your face. Love you, friend. I hope your headache is better today. Was trying to sympathize with your sitch too.

It was much harder to nonchalantly lurk at the grocery store one because the area around the pharmacy was so small. 😆

Trigger: pregnancy related
It’s been hectic here the last few days. Short story, I’ve been diagnosed with mild preeclampsia and will be delivering baby at 37wks (next week sometime). At least I was able to come home late Wednesday and have been able to finish up some last minute things I hadn’t done before baby gets here. Now, it’s rest up for baby’s arrival next week.

I’m not ready for this! Sorry for the pre-e. Hope you and baby do great.

H's new school schedule (still remote) starts today. I think in the long run, it'll make the next 10 weeks better... but today is rough.
The home-helping-teach technique differences between SAHD next door and myself are starting to really show. I am, apparently, a hardass stickler. He is not.
But only ten weeks. I can do it.

I got my second dose yesterday! I decided to take the day off today, in case I felt crappy. But also because I REALLY REALLY need a day that is just mine and no one else's. Fortunately all I have is a sore arm today. Buuut, apparently too many teachers at C's school are having negative side effects of the vaccine and are out today. So they closed C's room for today and she's home with us. I cried.

So after the two shipping issues, we shall see how this week goes. I changed my order to Thursday. I already have a notification that my shipment was delayed a day(cool you actually told me this time). I forgot to tell you, last time the box was delivered from a jeep.... Who wants to place a bet for when my misfits market box will arrive?

I feel like I need a good cry. I took C to a pediatrician appointment yesterday because she has several swollen lymph nodes on her head that have been there for months without changing. We were waiting and watching but the doctor ordered blood work yesterday... And brought up the words leukemia and lymphoma, which would obviously be extremely rare and I KNOW it's not going to be that, but then she also told me to do the blood work before going home. But stupid me, I didn't have her health care card in my wallet so I had to go home and get it, then by the time I got to the lab it was an hour before closing and they had stopped taking people because the wait list was so long.
So then I spent ALL morning today driving to 3 different labs. First one was a long wait time and the line up was outside and it was barely above freezing so I went to another one, where they don't do babies, so to yet another where we waited for 2 hours. And then they took us into the cubicle and said they didn't have the very smallest needle size but they would try their best. Long story short, it was traumatic for both of us and they weren't certain they had enough blood in the end. They said they'll call if they need us to go in again.
My nerves are frayed. And then I got home and stubbed my already-sprained toe.

Oh my gosh mintyblueair. That sounds so stressful. Big hugs. Sending t&p that they had enough blood and it turns out to be no big deal. Do something special and comforting for yourself tonight - bubble bath with candlelight and a glass of wine, pasta and brownies for dinner, go to bed early and ask yh for a massage and cuddles, trash tv and a heated blanket and a bowl of ice cream, whatever is your comfort. You deserve it.

mintyblueair that all sounds so stressful and emotional and I'm so sorry it all went down like that. I hope they got what you need and you get good results, quickly, that can calm your nerves a bit. Try to do something tonight to relax your mind a bit, even if it's just a few quiet moments in your closet doing some focused breathing exercises. Whatever gives your mind a rest for a few minutes.
