hellooooO weekend!!!!!
I slept until 6am, and didn't get out of bed until 6.30. That was a nice start. Of course I screwed up starting the coffee pot- thought I turned it on, but didn't. About 15 minutes later, I realized I didn't hear any of the gurgles or smell the heavenly scents so I had to go back and turn it on. My first panicked thought was OMG- coffee pot, Broken! :faint:
But it all worked out in the head.:cof2:
I appreciate you all suggesting that I do nothing, but ya knew that wasn't going to happen even if I tried.
I did my regular morning stuff, laundry, scoop litter boxes, dishes. I wanted to get the second set of wine glasses cleaned before the party next week. They hang over the island and that is where we cook anything on the griddle so they get a good build up of grease and cooking spray. I used to clean them more often but it is one of the things I let slide over the last year. As long as there is one wine glass clean--(mine!!!!) I don't care about the rest. I was halfway through the second section when Cait texts me that she forgot to take a Zyrtec last night and her hives were starting to break out.
Call the school to let them know that I am on my way (security to get into the school is kind of crazy since Sandy Hook, understandable but still a PITA.), grab the meds, get halfway there, and turn around. I realized that I needed to bring her a water bottle and saltines or she would end up throwing them right back up and I would have to come pick her up and she would have another unexcused absence. Get home, grab the stuff and head on back out. Get back home, finish the darn glasses then the laundry- then I have no idea what to do. I made Christopher his b-day card and then re-scrapped it 12x12 to put into his album for his next year's b-day.
Played with the dogs a while- Jaida is going stir crazy. With the rain and cold weather for the last couple of weeks, we haven't been able to get to the dog park, no walks, and very little time to play in the yard. She head butts me over and over when she wants attention. Her "thing" is to run in circles around the staircase but she wants you to chase her, and she will wait for you at the corners then take off in a different direction. Def. a good form of exercise for me, but really hard to keep that up as long as she would like.
Today is Christopher's b-day and party and I can't wait to see him. I hope that he wants to play with me. He gravitates towards Caitlyn, or Pop Pop (my dad) and that makes me sad. Sad for me, but happy for him and them. It is so good to know how much he is loved and how much love he gives back. I am always so thankful for his birth mother for giving him to my family. Truly a blessing.
Of course, having to go out in public stresses me out.What am I going to wear, I hate how old and tired I look, what do I talk to people about? You "read" me every day, my life is beyond *boring!* :blah:
I am in a Chronic Pain FB Group and they talked about this new app they were using. I downloaded it yesterday and it is called SuperBetter. It is a "game" that guides you to do small things to make yourself healthier/less stress/deal with chronic pain etc. You pick your main goal (I chose less stress but there were a ton of options plus you can make your own), and there are Power Ups (like drink a glass of water), Bad Guys (negative self talk for ex.) and Quests. As you do the different activities, you level up and get points. You can add Allies (friends) to cheer each other on, build social connections etc. It is in itunes and android. And the tasks are easy- stand up and walk a step away form your desk every half hour- but the goal is to build small moments of activity into your day. Can't hurt right? And I can lose some of this stress- it is a good thing
Hope that the sun shines for you (not here again!) and have a wonderful day!
