Ugh, I am dyin' here.
Tired and cranky and get this-- best week of weather all summer and who is having a hard time trying to get to the lake? :brick:
I find a way to get it all together.
yesterday was loooooooong and exhausting, even more than usual. I left my house at 7, and had breakfast at my mom's. We left her house around 8.30. As soon as we got onto one highway, it was stop dead traffic. I opened up the Waze app (totally recommend it for traveling/real time traffic) and saw that the mile of road we needed to travel on was blocked with a major accident. As I am reading that, three fire trucks come zooming past us so it had literally just happened. (My ability to try and look on the bright side was that we should have left my mom's a little earlier, so who knows, if we had, maybe we could have been involved- thankful for the little things, right??)
I was able to use the navigation/street map to get us to cut through a lot to a side street and back out and up the other way to the main interstate we needed.
But at this point my mom is flustered and got herself turned around and then again (and again) and wouldn't listen to me on where she needed to go -- I drove that route for 2 1/2 years commuting to college, I knew where I was going!-- and it took us an hour and a half to even get to the dr. Scott went in first and we spoke with the dr for 2 hours. Yes, 2 hours with the actual dr. He really digs deep into symptoms and meds and all of that. Scott had been feeling better and had been hating taking so many meds for soooo many years (non-stop since 2008) that he stopped taking all of them and relapsed. So the three of us came up with a new tx plan where he will take less pills but every day, no breaks like before. I am frustrated, he is frustrated and the dr is concerned and frustrated.
Cait on the other hand has been feeling pretty good and is doing more maintenance abx. We go back in November and it has to be better than this.
We got back to my mom's at 4.30 and I got back her at 5.30. I was so tired that I put my pjs on, and lay on the the sofa watching Dr Who and AfterWho.
I am working today, then I have to get to the lake for a bit or I will lose my mind. I have to squeeze in IV/bloodwork and ordering more meds all sometime before noon too if I want to get to the lake. UGHUGHUGH!!!!!
But I was nominated by a friend to do a three things grateful on FB so I am working on that-- I can do that here too, and I am going to challenge you as well! And to be extra grateful, I am going to do 3 *different* things than what I wrote on FB too.:humble:
I am grateful for:
1. That the sun is shining and that the lake is open. I *will* find a way to get there.
2. my mom who puts up with my crankiness
3. Gary who takes such good care of mixing my meds and administering the my IV (and doesn't throw in a pinch of arsenic like he might want to on some days!!)
4. One extra for good measure-- that I am working today! Work=Money
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
