Jean in Newcastle Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Oh boy. I was glutened on Saturday- told that one item was gluten free at the Ladies Luncheon that wasn’t. And I am sicker than a dog. Now that I have been Celiac level gluten free for well over a year, my reaction has been much stronger than it ever was in the past. But slower in ramping up than I expected. (I was fine for about four hours after eating and then wham. ). Good thing that dd is gone all day today for job training because I haven’t gotten much sleep and when I did sleep, I dreamt about being as sick as a dog. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I'm so sorry, Jean. That absolutely stinks. I hope you feel better soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I’ve got some kind of crud. Fever, pounding headache, body/ hair/ eyeball achiness, exhaustion. I had a flu shot so probably just some other random bug. Took the cat to the vet for a dental extraction. Pondering just crawling back into bed. Or if there’s any point in getting checked by the doctor, but going there sounds exhausting. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Prayers for everyone who isn't feeling well today. I am super stressed out and need to get a lot of work out. I hope I can focus. I wish my focus didn't come and go like it does. Set at least 10 alarms but ignored several of them. Up at 5 to get kid going on test study. Up again at 6:45 to wake other kid. Kids off running to the bus stop at 7:55. Just made it. Sister called me exactly when the bus came, and we blabbed for about an hour. It's never quick with my family! Cleaned the kitchen while on the phone. Caught up on social media, news, emails. Made this post. To do: Lots of work. Process last load of clothes in the dryer. Calendar? Exercise? Reading? Kids' work - they ride the bus home - homework - then Kid 1 has gymnastics, driver will take her. Read-aloud? Kids to bed. School forms. Whatever else gets done. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Good morning! We got a call from dd2 after practice this morning that it was snowing hard and the roads were like an ice skating rink. After a nail-biter drive home last night, passing one very bad multi-car accident and several small ones, I think she is spooked. Anyway, she made to dmil's (5 min from pool) and is working on math there and will come back for her second class (she only has two today). Our city roads are fine- it's the county ones that are not maintained very well. coffee/paper write chores work with dd2 after her class dd2 has first high school practice call with PT dd2 late practice late airport pick up for ds3 Have a great day! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Dropped very unhappy kitty off at vet, stopped at UPS Store, got coffee, came home. Just got done eating breakfast and I'm heading out to clean stalls. Adding to my list: make list for electrician of everything that needs doing make a grocery list and stop at store this afternoon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Living life very slowly but gingerly but so far: human care is done pet care is done (actually this was done first because . . . well, because they depend on me) medical care is done I had scrambled eggs and jello for breakfast. I hope that will be ok for my body. I was thinking of following advice for a liquid diet but I'm diabetic and I really think that would be a disaster. Now I am going to take the puppy for a walk around the block. Again - hope that will be ok for my body. I have met my step goal for 293 days and I think that if I take very short walks at intervals through out the day that I can make it again for today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I didn't plan my grout cleaning very well. I am at a stand still because the only part of my foyer left is the part the carpet guys keep walking through. Need to find something else to do... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 So, dd2 slid into a curb at 5 mph to avoid another sliding car in the parking lot this morning. The car is not driveable and my dh is nuts with all the car problems we have had over the past year. Dd2 feels terrible- but she did not hit another car. Dh never has a leg to stand on in these situations- he totaled two cars before he was 17. But yeah- moving toward the second most expensive year on record. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Dishwasher has been rebooted. Spent almost an hour with the JWs. Wasn't planning on that. . . But I won't turn away anyone who actually wants to talk about God even though no one is convincing the other. Oh well. It doesn't depend on me anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
