Daily Ooo's: Tuesday, March 6

[faerywings]

I had a meltdown of a day yesterday. I am not quite sure how I made it through but I did. Now let's see if I can do it again today.

(I apologize to Rae, I feel like I should not be having any sort of meltdown in light of what you are going through.)

Sunday was brutal with the dogs fighting. I was freaked out by the first fight that seemed totally uninstigated. There must have been something but Cait and I were sitting right there with them and saw *nothing.* The second fight was within minutes of getting separated after the first one. My dysautonomia causes my body to be unable to respond to adrenaline properly and it literally made me sick for over an hour afterward. Short of breath, dizzy, nauseous.Cait sat with me and kept rubbing my back to keep my breathing steady. If she moved away, I started to hyperventilate. Took me a long time to remember that I have beta-blockers to help when that happens but the damage was done, I felt ill the rest of the day.

Then yesterday, I wasn't sure WTH I was going to be doing when I woke up- vet, food shopping? :noidea:
W's ear is scabbing over and Gary has been great about keeping abx ointment so I decided that as long as we kept a close eye on it, she shuldn't need to go to the vet. I decided to go over to the store in NY since the last place I wanted to be was my supermarket on a Monday after running behind schedule. (Stocking is an issue on a good day- but a bunch of roads in my town were still closed, so I figured it would be worse.) I get all of the way through the store and there was NO half and half!!!!!!! out:
That means that I had to go out to my store anyway. There was no way in hell that I was going today since we are getting another storm with up to 12" of snow. Argh! There are places in town that still don't have power since Friday.

By the time I got back from all of that, the dogs were getting into their routine a bit better. They were playing together but under very careful watch. There were a few stare downs but we were able to redirect their attention.

I switched my cleaning day for tomorrow to today since I won't get out tomorrow and who knows about Thursday. So that is my big event today. Am I allowed to grumble about more snow??? :yell:

I better stop staring at the monitor and post this-- have a wonderful day!

Nancy- I am sure that it will be disappointing if the Devils don't make it to the playoffs, but what a difference between this season and last. Congrats to DIL on the bobblehead win
I understand 100% why your DS would want to move back home- too much chaos for me. And you are a great cook too. Hey, can I move in? ha!!
My town's school district builds in 7 snow days a year and I think they have to be close to that limit. It stinks for Cait that she has classes only M-W-F and every storm has been a W or F and the campus hasn't closed yet.

Trudy-You are so lucky to have a nice day or so for yard work. My yard is still covered by snow and will be for quite a while. Hope that tomorrow's weather is perfect for a hike!

Felis- :Cry: everyone is getting ready for spring and we are going to be stuck in Winter forever! waahhhhh!!!!!!!!
Hope that your dad is feeling better today. Men are not good at handling colds, are they?

Jean- the sun is deceptive- it is very sunny right now but freezing. But at least it looks cheery. So nice that you had a nice chat with your friend.

Thinking of you Rae!!! Hoping that you have good news soon. xoxo

Morning ladies... It is a blah kind of morning, grey and cloudy, but its not raining so that is a plus! Off to the pool this morning and hoping that now that swimming lessons are done until April sometime that it will be a bit less chaotic in the lap pool. Yesterday I dealt with a horrible headache all day long, it took me forever to figure out that I was clenching my jaw the whole time that I was on the computer and I needed to put my mouth guard on to prevent that. I haven't had to use my mouth guard for a long time, so here I am this morning on the computer with it in my mouth and I sure hope that I don't have to deal with another headache today! I took tylenol for the pain yesterday, but it didn't help too much. DD did not facetime with me yesterday as everyone was home and not feeling well, I bet she was busy taking care of her boys all day long, so I really hope that she does not catch this flu bug too!! I will work on another page or two and will send out all the positive vibes I can over to Rae and her family in hopes of hearing some good news soon! We are all thinking of you sweetie!! :hug:

Chris - Ugh what a bad day you had yesterday! I am so sorry to hear that you are having more snow!! So yes you certainly are allowed to grumble all you want to about the snow! Too bad that your grocery shopping did not go well! I hate going to the grocery store too! Wouldn't it be great if we did not have to eat, think of all the extra time and money we would have LOL! Good plan to change your cleaning day to today, your forecast for tomorrow doesn't sound good.

Felis - Sure hope your Father is feeling better! Nothing is worse than "The Man Cold" LOL. My poor daughter has to deal with three guys when they are sick, I feel sorry for her :becky:

Jean - Well at least the sunshine made your day seem bright and cheery! It is still very chilly here in the mornings, but we are at least back to our normal March temps and hopefully spring has arrived here on the West Coast. Sounds like you had a nice long chat with your friend and no I did not get the nap I was hoping to have, I tried to but my darn headache would not let me sleep. I had a much better sleep last night and what a difference it makes!

Rae - Oh my I hope that you are doing ok! Sending all of my good thoughts your way! ray:

:hello: Nancy hope you and Luther are on a nice walk!

Well DD just txt me that everyone is home sick again today, her and Hunter are not ill, but Mason and Jonah still not feeling well. So I will hit the pool a bit earlier as she will not have any time to facetime with me today. :hurt: I wish I could be there to help her out! Have a good Tuesday everyone!

Hello girls,
of course I also keeps Rae and poor B in my mind too often. It so strange that this thread made all of us so close, even we have not met personally.
Beside that, into the regular life my sister have a professional meeting at the Capital tomorrow, and I will go with her, so to can combine it with food shopping in one travel. My dad is at home because of his colds, so he will drive us and shop and I'll be with her. So I have to spend this evening in some little beauty stuff onto myself, so to transform this farm girl into the lady . Boring and painful at some points.

Chris, one smart woman one told me that ''Every person's pain and sadness is valid and shouldn't be viewed as more than or less than another's.'', so yes you could feels blue at the same times till you also feels empathy to others! How bad that adrenaline affects you so worse! Good that Cait can help a little! It sounds like W try to gainsay the hierarchy, but you will overcome it, I'm sure. This with the food stores is stressful with sure, we felt lost too when our store is under some kind of repair and we should visit other from the same chain stores, but on other place and with different order. We skiped some of our regular things, but also found one new on sale. It was not a big solace, but still is something.

Trudy, your daughter definitely is hero, I can't imagine how bad is to deal with tree sick men! Definitely hope she to not catch it too! How awful to have deal with cares for all others till she isn't OK. Aww, so sorry for your headache, hope you'll feel better soon! May be the swimming will help you!

Jean, I just adore your weekly page. Again amazing photos!

Nancy, I left you comment yesterday and it is very possible we to cross posted today. So will catch you later!

Rae, if you needs from quiet time to handle this we will respect your decision, everybody goes through the stress at different ways. Just know that as Trudy said: ''we all are here if you needs shoulder to cry on it''. if you needs from quiet time to handle this we will respect your decision, everybody goes through the stress at different ways. Just know that as Trudy said: ''we all are here if you needs shoulder to cry on it''. We all hopes you to have good news soon!

Good morning, ladies. I'll be brief, I need to get a bit of desk work done if I can as at any moment I will be rushing back to the hospital but if things remains quiet for the day I will stay home and work until this afternoon, then head back. Thx for all the hugs and well wishes. Keep those prayers and positive thoughts coming.

I'm really drained right now, kind of moving on auto pilot, so exhausted. She is still in a coma, they tried yesterday to rouse her to a higher level of consciousness but the seizures started up again so they immediately put her right back into deeper coma again. The EEG results are pending (they only have one specially trained neurologist to interpret her test...wth???? that doesn't make sense to me) so it could be today or over the next few days that we get those results which will determine if she is still in continous seizuring. I'm hoping for a miracle. Dealth or severe brain/neuro damage is a high probabilty if she ever wakes up. It is a very difficult thing for us to process. So, please pray for my sweet angel. I'm getting off the computer now. I just don't have the energy to chat much right now.

Thanks again for all your well wishes.

Today has gotten away from me. First was going to the computer genealogy group board meeting, this month starting with lunch to which DH also comes, then catching up and then giving him a tutorial on viewing DNA results at Ancestry as we'll both be assisting at a class at the library in June. The sun came out in the afternoon and was beautiful and not quite as cold. I'm covering my ears about possibilities of snow.

Rae, as with everyone else, saying we offer support and good wishes.

Hope everyone else is doing well or as well as can be expected.
