Any exciting plans for the holiday weekend? We were going to have my parents and ILs over on Sunday for a bbq and swim, but I told H that I didn’t want to spend tomorrow cleaning and doing food prep. So now I am spending today watching the girls swim and play while reading. Definitely made a good decision.

I forgot this was a holiday weekend and can now confirm my vacation looks pretty rude to my colleagues. I work Monday when they are all off and then i got on vacation for a week. We are going to Disneyland Paris and a few days in Paris too.

I'm super lucky and I am at work today and tomorrow.
Nothing planned. Maybe cross the river for a kid band concert we enjoy on Sunday or the Snake zoo near us is having an anniversary celebration we can check out. My husband works on Sunday, but is off on Monday. So we'll try and do a fun family outing on Monday, go on an "adventure" somewhere.

I don't think we have plans Son started working 4 10 hrs shifts this week so he had today off. And he's officially or nurse in neuro and spines so they have no surgeries scheduled Monday. So if he has 4 day weekend we don't have grandson 4 days.
I will spend the 2 days in bed on orders to try to get knee swelling to go down. Compression hose, wrap, massage ice then heat. Minimal joint moving soft exercises.
Knee has residual swelling thats been there on the inside medial side of knee for 8 months not going anywhere at all and then swells up more in joint so it wont bend with exercise and weight bearing by noon early afternoon every day.
It's an experiment to try to convince knee it does not have to swell up even tho it has like a swell up every day like clockwork memory thing going on.
Then 2 days of no/ limited weight bearing plus the above. Slight increases in exercise and weight bearing. Evaluate at pt weds.
Who knows maybe it will work.

Well we were going to have the kids spend the night with my parents Sunday and then go to the parade on Monday but now that depends on if no one is sick.
My husband got a 4 day weekend and my oldest did too since she had to stay home since she had a fever last night but she's felt fine all day. I work tonight and I'm trying to hold off on catching this cold because I just know it's coming so I've been napping today while they play video games and my youngest is at school.
Probably a lazy saturday and catching up on cleaning and disinfecting.

I started Effexor last evening for my anxiety and maybe it's a placebo effect but I feel like I can already tell a difference. She said it would take a few weeks so who knows. My mind isn't racing as usual and usually I spend all day before the nights I work stressed and in a panic but today I'm feeling pretty okay. She also gave me Xanax to use as needed but I don't feel like I need it yet surprisingly. Yesterday I literally could barely function because the anxiety was so paralyzing.
I've tried multiple SSRIs and wellbutrin in the past with no success so I'm really hoping this is what I need. I'm nervous reading about the side effects and withdrawal symptoms if you forgot a dose because I'm forgetful and my schedule changes daily so I don't have a lot of set time specifically each day but I've set an alarm and I'm hoping for the best. I feel semi-hopeful which is something I haven't felt in a really long time.

We had plans for a much needed adult night. My parents were going to come to town, but we decided they shouldn’t come. MIL was going to watch them, well be here while they slept. Well our plan went down the drain because she is now in isolation. My cabinet delivery was late getting to the local shipper and has now been rescheduled for next week. I’m making milkshakes now and making no more plans.

nelzie i also have a med that has strong withdrawal effects and am forgetful about pills. So i always keep a little pill case in my purse with maybe 5 pills so that when I inevitably forgot one day, i have it with me wherever i am finally remember. And often going to grab my wallet for something and then feeling the pill case is when I remember!

Oh my god. My son and his two friends are playing “coronavirus”- a game where they have to fight against a virus out there that turns people into zombies and they need to quarantine to stay alive. But there’s a sick king so they need to go out and get the cure.
😭😭😭😭

But there’s a sick king so they need to go out and get the cure. 😭😭😭😭 DS2’s class would play “virus” or “zombies” at recess and it was similar. But, in their version, there was always someone who had the antidote to cure infected players. Every time he would tell me about it, I would get a pit in my stomach. It would catch me off guard when he would say “I’m the slowest and sometimes they just infect me first and I don’t know why it is alway me.” Yay for imaginations and coping skills? 😬😳😩

10yo’s classmate succumbed to his cancer. It was unrelenting and quick. Words are just feel so hollow.
Fuck cancer.

In his honor and as his family wanted, I’m sharing a link to an organization that is working towards eliminating cancer by focusing on the biggest cancer bullies. thecurestartsnow.org/September is childhood cancer awareness month and the ribbon color is gold.
