My Blog

am: I took Natie in to see Dr. G (& we of course saw Laurie too!) and I explained her sx to him; the rash, the fatigue, joint soreness, the night sweats. So he agreed to have the RN get a Lymes titer. Natalie cried and cried- poor thing was visibly terrified, not just ticked off. She is a trooper when it comes to finger sticks, but the blood draw was scary for her. (Plus, she has invisible veins, like Si). So after we were all done I took her for a Chamomille tea and Adams for some rolls and cold cuts. That cheered her up a bit. Then we dropped Si off at the mall to meet Sarah and I asked Nat if she’d like to run in to Dick’s sporting with me just for a few min. I ended up buying her a 50% off portable CD player. Geez. I’m a sucker. But I really felt bad about what she went through today. So naturally, when Chris came home, I had some ‘Splaining to do.

1h 6.20 miles 9m 41s /mile

30m 1250.00 yards 2m 24s /100 yards

1h 5m 17.64 miles 16.28 miles/hr Pull 750, 250 fins. 250 free -1250 yards in about 1/2 hour. Getting faster but out of breath more today. Then my excuse to leave was an older woman who entered my lane and basically told me that I should move (!), that there was an aerobics class at noon "but everyone gets there early"- the nerve-ha! But although I had TWENTY FIVE more minutes for laps in that lane I hated anyway (Lane One SUCKS) I just left. Whatever.I have got to get into the lake this week for OW swim anyway.But tonight I went out for a great bikeride, 17.64 miles in about 65 min, with the usual stoplights. Had a fantastic ride, and I decided to slowly introduce bricks again, running between 1 to 3 miles after some of my rides. I started off real slow after tonight’s ride, i walked a little then ran a little, not even covering a mile.

Natalie has not been feeling that great lately. I’m not sure I can pinpoint the problem, but I’m thinking of just getting a Lymes test done for her, even if we doubt she’s had a tick bite. You can never really be sure

Sienna had her last day of school today! I can not believe it. The little ones are done in a week. Wow. I need to get into Summer Mode soon~ & that means a LOT of organization. Juggling three kids schedules, home life, Gram’s care, work, training, church stuff. You know what’s really mind-numbing: I have no time for freinds & other family relationships. I’ve left them all in the dust. But I will never stop loving them. This season of my life is so crazy & divided. I wish it were at least more flowing. But they all tell me it will fly by night.

Busy night last night- worked 7 to 1am and it was a nonstop night. I had admissions and a very adorable, confused pt who had a high fall/wandering risk. Needless to say he remained at my side in his wch all evening, so that slowed me down. The night literally flew-I could not believe my watch at 11pm, and I was still doing meds & assessments. One oof my fave pts experienced an insulin reaction so I stayed untill her BS was wnl. Anyway, I am exhausted & kind of useless today. I did a lot of online research re: Gram’s CV issues.

It’s Sunday and the house is a mess, I’m missing church yet again, Must balance (HA!) my checkbook, plan the week, deal with the laundry, and chill out with my kids. 

Another free font-shopping day, otherwise useless indeed.W

I feel about 80 years old right now. I’ve got to rest so I can start the week with an early run. I hope that’s all I needed, and I pray that this week:

a. God will stop hating me

b. I will somehow have enough to manage my enormous debt & copay bills

c. I will get it together.

amen…..HI am so upset about the aaa dx..
