Happy Wednesday ladies -
Sorry for the late post...such a busy morning! Then I went shopping on my lunch hour since I didn't go last night. I was feeling really dizzy yesterday afternoon...so after work, I just went to the library to drop off some books that were due and then came home and relaxed. After work today, I'm meeting with a website client. No rest for the weary, right?
My back is starting to feel better...and my left leg (which has been quite sore since the procedure) is feeling better too, which is a nice bonus. DH didn't get as much relief from this latest shot as he had from previous shots...he thinks it's because he didn't rest the day after. I scheduled our follow up appointments. I'm getting diagnostic tests on 12/7 and 12/14, and if those provide 4 or more hours of relief, then I can have the radio frequency ablation done on the right side on 12/28. DH is getting 2 more shots...one on 12/14 and one on 12/28 (his appointments are right after mine on both days so we carpool). I wish they'd give us a 2 for 1 discount when we schedule our appointments back to back, but no such luck.
I'm thinking about canceling my gym membership for the winter because once I'm home I don't feel like going out again...too dark, too cold (and it's only going to get colder). And I can't go to the gym right after work without stopping at home first because I need to give Mischief her meds. I can always do the Wii Fit or one of my many workout DVDs at home now that my back is starting to feel better.
*****************
Shad - I had to laugh when you said that the vicar said it was okay to play Christmas music on the radio. Stations here started playing Christmas music on November 1!
Annie - So nice that Curtis is helping you with expenses and treating you so well. You truly deserve all the best life has to offer, my sista.
You're such a good mom to cook for your daughter and her family.
Ceejay - I hope your throat is feeling better. Rest when you can.
Laura - Bummer about the late trains two days in a row, and even worse that it was full and you had to stand. Ugh. That's insane that your homeowners insurance has gone up so much!
Happy - I have a hard time staying up 'till 10 or 11 pm (even on a weekend), but on the weekends I have no trouble sleeping in until 8. Bummer that your DH can't find his birth certificate. Like you, I've got to get our Christmas letter done, and the Christmas cards out. Hopefully, I'll get them out this weekend or at the very least before St. Patrick's Day!
We have a septic system too, so we limit our wash loads to 2 per day...though once in a great while we'll run 3 if it can't wait 'till the next day. I don't envy you your insurance changes over the next few months. Sounds like it has the potential to be a convoluted mess. DMIL is settling, though she's complaining about cold (even though it's nearly 40 F). I told her just wait until the high temp is in the teens or single digits, which could easily happen before she leaves in mid-January. THAT will be COLD. Doppler and Santa are both doing fine. Mischief seems to be doing well with her increased meds. We'll take her in for a blood test in a week or two.
Mel - I hope the fingers and toes feel better soon. Don't overdo it at TJ's.
Much love and many hugs to all,
