cagoldi I only saw the results online my iron itself isn't too bad but my red blood cell count sucks. So I'm not sure what I do. There's still some results pending on vitamin levels so they haven't called yet.

tgrimes Yay for your dad being approved. Is he more lucid today? Since about 9am, yes. We'll see later tonight because that's usually when it starts.

Hang in there tgrimes. Glad your dad was approved; you should definitely have a celebratory glass of wine. I know it's stressful and sucks to be away from your family but I think you're doing the right thing by being there to advocate for your dad and help take the pressure off your mom. I can't imagine what it must be like for patients who don't have someone to stick up for them with insurance, etc.

FWP up ahead. Since DC was closed I didn't get to do anything I needed/wanted to do. I didn't go to the gym, i need to find a casual dress outfit for my work celebration party, and I needed to go grocery shopping
Edit: posted too soon. I also didn't get to the laundry. LO also decided it was a no nap day.

We're watching Lion King and the part came on where Nala is trying to seduce Simba and Dude said, "oh my God, Mom. They're so thirsty!"

I'm pretty sure if I gave up drinking I'd lose 15 lbs in a week. I think that's why I haven't regained as much weight this time around as last - I'm not drinking as much. I blame DH for buying crap wine when we have a basement full of the good stuff WHICH WE NEVER OPEN. Not that I'm bitter. Girl, go downstairs and get a bottle! Life is too short to just horde good wine!!

You are kicking ass, tgrimes. Your Dad is really lucky to have you in his corner.

I am super crabby, H is being awful for bedtime and I'm so close to snapping. I'm trying my hardest to ignore her cries. DH is at a stupid fantasy football draft for who knows how long.

I'm sorry trtlcrzy, put her to bed and tell her you're going outside to tend to the flowers, you shouldn't have to wait around for her stall tactics. I do it all the time, it's nice to get some peaceful fresh air at the end of the day. Hugs friend, we're here to listen.

She's in the room with S so I can't just leave her to cause mayhem. She kept being loud so I made her go down to the bed in the basement. She was down there crying. Eventually I went down, talked to her and let her go back to her bed. After she came up she was quiet. And it's thunder storming outside so no fresh air for me.

I'm an idiot and accidentally quit taking my blood pressure meds for a while. But I wasn't having any issues so I never resumed. That was about 3 months ago. Well, the last few weeks I've not been feeling quite right and thought it was just my anxiety ramping up for some reason. I was going to call the dr to see about increasing my anxiety meds. Then I started checking my BP again and of course it's been up. It was running around 150/107. Whoops!! So I started back on my meds and already I am feeling better after just a week and BP is coming down. Lesson learned! I hated that feeling! And I now realize how important it is to keep up with prescribed meds.

I didn't want to leave, but my H really did. Now I'm regretting it because it sounds like it could last longer than they thought and I don't like being stuck away from home. Even if there is no power!
