Hello wonderful Flist! It’s great to be back. So, here’s what all has happened to me in the past two weeks:
1. Mike got the flu. He ended up staying home for a whole week. Then this Thursday, after having worked three days, he ended up going to the hospital. They decided that it was bronchitis and gave him another day off work. Plus they gave him an antibiotic and some narcotic cough syrup. He’s back at work now, but he’s currently having trouble breathing. It may mean another trip to the hospital. We’ll see.
2. My Aunt Bridget died on the 8th (mom’s sister). Her husband tried to wake her up and it didn’t work. She looked a little blue so he called an ambulance and they pronounced her dead a little later at the hospital. Turns out she’d had a heart attack in her sleep. She was 43 years old. I wasn’t able to go to the funeral, but Mom did go down for a whole week. She got back on Saturday.
3. Mike’s parents went down to Florida for Biketober Fest. They left last Tuesday and get back tomorrow.
4. Friday (the 17th) was Mom’s birthday. She’s now 47 years old. We got her a digital camera (which Missy still owes me half the cost of) and gave it to her before she left. Saturday we went to Outback to celebrate.
5. I’ve still been a bit sick, but not too bad. I’m not nauseous as much anymore, but I’ve developed a lovely upper respiratory cold. Which is always fun. I feel an ear infection is in my near future.
This Sunday is Brayden’s first birthday party (his birthday is on the 28th). Mike and I have to figure out what to get him. Then Monday I have an appointment with WIC to start receiving that. Then on Thursday I have my next OB appointment. We should be able to hear the heartbeat this time!
I’m hoping to spend some time this week and next getting caught up on everyone’s entries, but it may take me a while. I can’t even tell you how many posts I’m behind since my last available friends page (skip=200) isn’t even to where I last was. SO I have to go through each person separately. This is going to take forever. Not only am I two weeks behind in that but also in my classes. It’ll be crazy getting caught up. I may end up deciding to abandon one of the classes. But we’ll see.
I will probably be take some people and communities off my flist soon. So if you suddenly find yourself off my list and you think it’s a mistake, just leave me a comment or send me a message and I’ll fix it.
I’m going to have to cut back on my internet time, since I apparently don’t have enough hours in the day. So I may be a bit more scarce from now on. But I won’t disappear completely.
So how is everyone doing?
health,
school,
family,
baby,
love life
