(no subject)
This year so far is fired; I've been relentlessly ill and tired; I'm having almost as much trouble getting anything done as I was when my foot was broken, which is ridiculous. I'm not really sure what to do about it; I have a referral to a gastroenterologist from my sleep doctor, so I guess I keep on with that. (He thinks I may have reflux; I'm not so sure.) He did also check my iron and my stored iron was low normal and my free iron was out-of-range high, so I have no idea what that means. My thyroid has been on track so it's not that; I just suck. I've been acting a little lactose intolerant, too, so I think the glutening I got around my birthday is taking its time to heal. It'd be really depressing if one slightly mis-floured supposedly GF cupcake in November is making me this continuously ill.
On the PLUS side we are almost kind of sort of getting our ducks in a row as to stuff we're doing this year -- the family trip for example we at least have on our radar. Still have to figure out where we're staying en route as it's a two-day drive. But we have certainly perpetrated worse planning. (Thankfully everyone else planned the Ashland trip, which was good as we saw so many plays there! I got distracted from my writeup of that, but overall it was just wonderful.) But this time I'm trying to get the task manager to remind us to do things in advance, but sort of staggered out into smaller tasks so we don't get overwhelmed. I'm trying to make the task manager work for us and not smother us in all of the gazillions of things we really ought to have done already and just are too tired to do, so we'll see if I can walk that line. It talks to the calendar and contacts now, at least, which has been really helping. (Now we can easily pop over to the map or phone number straight from the task notification... sweet.)
The big puzzle is going to be dog sitting. Our neighbor can cover some of the times but is gone for some of it. He's gotten injured at our normal boarder, and he has really thin skin (literally!) so we just aren't sure they are up to him. A shame because he adores playing with them, but he gets lost in the chaos of all of the dogs there, so we want a sitter instead.
