Taking down a tree
So I have a real tree up in the living room. Ginormous. I have posted about it already, so I will try to be less boring. The local Boy Scout Troup does curbside recycling of Christmas trees and they will be here tomorrow morning by 8:00. I have been super busy today because it was baby girls sixth bday, mkay. So we had Funtasia early afternoon, and then 321 Bounce tonight. There has been cake and pizza and then pizza and cake. I am tore up from the floor up.
We got home and I asked the kids to help me un-decorate the tree. That thing was stripped in MAYBE five minutes, top to bottom. This tree is 9+ feet and weighs over 100 lbs. I had it out the curb, the floor cleaned up and furniture put back in just over 30 minutes. Now, the ornaments and lights etc. are still not wrapped up and packed, but hello? Munchkin labor. Do not underestimate it.
Other than that, I have been on steroids for the last two weeks and it is not pretty. I think I am having mood swings, and I am all bloaty. Furthermore, I have a truly hideous rash that is spreading from my hands up my arms. It burns like the sun, and I feel pretty nuts. I don't know if it is a reaction to the steroids, and my doctor is not available until Monday. I also don't feel that great. Ear ache, throat ache, head ache, my scalp aches. Maybe I really have chicken pocks or something. I don't have spots on my face, but my scalp feels bumpy and I am starting to itch all over just thinking about it. I have an irrational fear of childhood illnesses. I have never had any of them. I have also never been immunized for anything ever. I was allergic and whatnot, and my parents are a little crazy.
I hope I won't die from the pocks, if that is my gay problem today.
LOL. I'm a drama queen.
