Muggy Monday

[chrisy01]

It’s raining and muggy af here.

My last real week at Wireless. Trying to close it out. It’s midterm week for my statistics class. I wore new shoes for the bridal shower and now I have blisters on the bottoms of my feet. It’s just going to be a week.

He's okay.  His throat is still sore and he can't move his head from side to side.  The dr said that would happen because of where they had to take the flap from in his throat.

chrisy01, I hope you have a good last week!

tgrimes, poor little guy. I'm glad your sister got him to take his meds.

SSDD here. I expect it to be a crazy week since I am off next week but hope it won't be too bad. I already set up my out of office auto reply!

Yesterday I got C his football cleats, mouth guard, and cup. You can't imagine how many different cups (penile protection for those who don't know) there are. I was staring at this wall at Dick's (I'm sure there's a joke there) for at least a half an hour. C was very excited about all of this stuff and wore the mouth guard a lot yesterday, which is probably good to get used to breathing with it in. He said the cup was heavy and I told him just you wait, once he gets all of those pads he will know what heavy is. He is lifting weights to prepare.

We're doing a ropes course this morning that has 3 ziplines. Should be fun.

morning!
I'm at the office. SSDD.

I got bad news yesterday that I just can't get out of my mind.

**** TW TW **** I don't know how to spoiler.

One of my BFFs from college has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Apparently they got the diagnoses about a month ago but have just been processing it as a family. She has 2 teenagers and I just can't stop thinking about how sad it is. She's my age (47/48) which seems so young for this but I know it can hit at any age. Her wife sent out a note telling everyone about it and they are trying to just enjoy the good days she has a family when she has them. I just keep thinking about those poor kids who are going to lose a parent. She is such an amazing, awesome mom. And it just sucks. Fuck Cancer.

jewels OMG, I'm so sorry.

[wineallthetime]

Oh, jewels. How terrible. That just breaks my heart. I'm so sorry.

[peachsmama]

I'm so sorry jewels. That's awful.

[mwhip]

jewels thats awful. Im so sorry. Way too young for such devastating news.

[nam2013]

jewels that is horrible. I’m so sorry for you and your friends family.

[wedding]

I'm so sorry jewels.

[jewels]

Thanks guys. I haven't seen her in years (I think the last time was like 6 years ago), but we were super tight many many years ago. And stayed close enough that we travelled for each other's weddings and what not.

Hi.

There was an accident on the interstate this morning, so I was late to work. They are used to it though, so no big deal. It’s been a slow day. We had a lot scheduled, but a lot of cancellations.

Oh and M2 has a reactive airway, right. He started coughing yesterday and I knew what was down the pipe. Gave him meds last night and tried out the inhaler. He did great overnight until 430am. Woke up hacking and spitting up. Because of the variant I was reluctant to give him a breathing treatment, but because he never had fever, I decided to go ahead and give him one so he didn’t have to suffer. He was better after that.

So sorry about your friend. jewels That’s so sad.

tgrimes Poor kiddo. Glad he is doing ok otherwise.

[inthekitty]

That's so tragic jewels. I'm so sorry. 😔

mamabear ugh, that's the worst. I remember having pregnancy insomnia yet being absolutely exhausted. So miserable.

[inthekitty]

The ropes course sucked big time. Never again. Poor Maddie had massive anxiety so we stopped a little early. I was pretty anxious during a lot of it too.

[nam2013]

We’re home from vacation. It’s nice to be in my own home again. Baby girl has been a nightmare with sleep. It can take up to 25 minutes to fall asleep (whilst being rocked and shushed) for a nap, which can then be half an hour or two hours, completely inconsistent. In the evening it often takes me up to two/three hours for her to fall asleep and then she still wakes up 3 times each night. Something needs to change because I’m exhausted and it’s causing tension between me and h. He wants to help, but that usually results in only more crying… but I’m also (unfairly) a little jealous that he can sleep more than me. Since she still won’t take bottles there isn’t much he can do and he hates that.

Trying a failing to get a nap in today. You wouldn't think it is possible to have insomnia when you are exhausted from nursing every 3 hours but I'm here to tell you it is

Oh I feel you big time… I’m sorry we’re in the same boat. Should we get some decaf lattes and at least make it comfy 🤦🏼‍♀️?!

ETA grammar, sorry I can’t help myself, if I see a spelling error I want to correct it…

[jewels]

I hope he's feeling better lahdeedah

Sorry nam2013, I hope she starts sleeping better soon, for all of you

[wineallthetime]

nam2013, how frustrating! How's your anxiety??

[wineallthetime]

We went to the pool and beach. Resting a bit watching Olympics and then are going back to the restaurant that we were at when the tornado hit. We need to pay our bill (credit card machine was down) and want to sit outside for drinks and walleye! They had an amazing lavender Moscow mule. It'll be back to the pool after that. A is a nut. He doesn't go in the water. He will lay on the hot sand with his trucks or dig in dirt next to the pool.

A little better, but I’m still risk managing, only a few social contacts, no playgrounds/pool when they’re busy, no eating out etc. For now that is fine. I pushed myself (I mean I can’t wrap the kids in bubble wrap forever) and we took a trip to the zoo. We avoided play areas and indoor exhibits. I felt relatively safe and the kids were exuberant, which made it worth it. I talked to my h and he’s keeping an eye on me, if I’m not doing better in a few months I’m going to find some help. Thank you for asking .

Back from the endo. They took some biopsies, but things looked so good I don't need another one for 3 years instead 1.

Now I'm laying in bed. I don't want to nap because it's so late in the day. I need to do laundry and clean the bathroom. Later. 😴

Stay in bed, relax, you’ve had to endure enough for one day! Glad things looked okay.

A few months is a long time, nam.
