Jean in Newcastle Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I have a feeling that "survive" might be the most important thing on my list today. . . (just going from the amount of pain and fatigue at the end of Wednesday) clean kitchen laundry dinner figure out the Zone diet exercise and stretching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Aww Jean, sorry Wednesday did not end well for you! Hopefully things are getting off to a better start tomorrow. Pick up library book Get printer and lined paper Administer more meds to poor dog and consult with vet Do Yoga & roll exercises for my tight piriformis muscle Depending on how back / piriformis feels, perhaps a little rowing for cardio Review some issues for work Attend a continuing education class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creekland Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Jean - :grouphug: - many times "survive" is perfectly good, though I hope things go better for you. Nothing on my schedule again, at least, nothing beyond getting a shower without getting the hand wet and, of course, cat servant (mostly done for the morning). Somehow I slept on the hand wrong last night and woke up this morning with it pretty sore. :glare: It's getting a little better now that I'm up, but I had anticipated feeling quite good today as it wasn't too bad yesterday evening (as long as I didn't irritate it). Both other nights were good. I'm not sure what made last night different other than maybe position. I need to be a lighter sleeper for thing like this! It'll give me time to finish the book I started yesterday. And... I suppose training the brain in how to deal with boredom has some merit. :cursing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Still so dark... For me: --gym w dh in 15 minutes.

TammyinTN Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Good Morning.... Jean :grouphug: ! I awoke this morning at 5am to the phone ringing. Dd hit something in the road and had a bad flat tire. Nothing is open around her until 6am and dh was talking her through changing the tire as he heads up the road to help her and trade cars. We survived yesterday with no more incidents with Ella Bella and are keeping them separated. Thanks so much for the advice everyone!! Today: watch Sophia Grace --DD came home for the day ds starts his writing classes online Done work on online Chemistry class Done keep the house nice and tidy Done figure out dinner--Five Guys!! grocery shop tonight -- did it today since DD was home Have a good day everyone!

JustEm Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Jean :grouphug: I feel the same exact way today but apparently my fatigue and pain didn't crop up until this morning. I feel like I've been hit by a car! Apparently I was super tense all day yesterday and finally released that tension overnight but as a result EVERY muscle in my body hurts! So I'm not committing to very much today. -get bare minimum of school done -trip to grocery store -kids to kung fu -at least one load of laundry washed and away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlsdMama Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Yesterday was less than pleasant in the AM. My only goal is that it go smoother. (((Hugs))) Jean. Call the dentist. Again. Figure out why I have an almost $300 bill when it should be $84 per the insurance company. Yesterday we sorted through tax documents, papers, medical bills. So glad it's over and we're about ready to file taxes! :) And, as we paid in a lot, I'm expecting a very pleasant return, at least federal. Laundry School Make new assignment sheets Order a new mirror for Dh's truck. Oops. Pick up groceries for CJs scout trip this weekend. Library Stuffed peppers for supper.

creekland Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Tammy - glad it was "just" a tire, but ugh! Hope it worked out ok. hjffkj - sending hugs your way and hoping you feel better - not worse. Every muscle hurting doesn't sound right - or is that normal stress relief for your body? BlsdMama - here's hoping things do go smoother today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 :grouphug: to Jean, hjffkj, and Mom2CandJ, and Creekland! Feel better soon! I've been at my sister's house since Monday night. She is a wreck, but who wouldn't be. Her special needs son is still feeling bad, too, with a continual headache. We are heading to his doctor today. He can be very challenging when he feels bad, acting out, trying to hit her, uncooperative, etc. She is feeling overwhelmed and like she can't do this. Before she always knew she had her dh coming home at night which gave her a reprieve. I am going to try and take him to my house at least once a month for a few days, and she's working on some local help for 1-2 days a week. I'm going to stay tonight and head home tomorrow. Today: meals for them care for nephew and get all his meds in go with them to the doctor laundry or housework, whatever she wants sleep in his room to listen for seizures (he has them mainly during his sleep) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzie in Ma Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Jean I hope you manage to survive the day, I am sorry you are tired and in pain. Liz I hope your dog is doing better! Creekland, hang in there, rest and heal. Tammy 5am phone calls are scary, glad everything is all right. hjffkj, sounds like a good day for a muscle relaxer and a long hot bath. Can you at least take some advil? momtoc&j, I hope your migraine lets go soon, that stinks. Hugs all around :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: Not much on my plate other than school with youngest. Hang in there everyone!

MysteryJen Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Good morning! I hope everyone feels better today. I, too, have been in a slump this week and really need to snap out of it. Dh's car is still not ready, so he rented one. Money is flying out of the account at an alarming rate. Not a good way to start off the year. I had am practice this morning, so I probably need a second cup of coffee. To do: computer stuff school for all oversee teens laundry motivated moms stuff (definitely taking the quiet time today!) study is better, but needs a bit more work sports administration PM practice/judo Have a great day!

We will run errands on the way back home.

Every muscle hurting doesn't sound right - or is that normal stress relief for your body? It's normal for my body. After stressful days where I need to hold it together for my kids or whatever my body responds by giving me flu like aches. I'll feel better by tonight most likely as long as I get a nap and a soak in the tub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Evening Everyone....we survived another crazy day. The side of the tire blew out and there was nothing in it. DC roads are horrible on cars as this is the second tire on our new Passat this has happened too. I'm counting my blessing that we have been able to pay or fix all emergencies, but I sure hope the crazy stuff slows down now. I just want some quiet boring days. Hope everyone is doing well this evening and everyones day has improved!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 All 3 of my children fell asleep at 3:30!!!! 2 are still asleep and it's almost 6! No chance of a 7:30 bedtime or dh and I getting any actual one on one time to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary. I suppose we'll just celebrate by enjoying dinner made by someone else and a yummy dessert. On the plus side I'm feeling much better physically!

JustEm Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Happy Anniversary! I hope you were able to have a special moment or two. Thank you! Dh brought an awesome dinner home for everyone, then we read to the kids for a long time. They were all asleep by 9 so we got to at least relax a bit together before I fell asleep. Best part of the night was dh voicing that he wants to take an additional week of when the baby comes, he is already getting 2 paid weeks off. The additional week would be unpaid. This is a man who used to hate being off of work so I jumped at the opportunity and said I'd figure out a way to make it work financially. It comes at the perfect time since we'll be getting a hefty tax refund a week or so later as long as I file before Feb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
