So -- looks like I have been AWOL since Saturday -- and I know I just briefly checked in to say hello then! I've missed you ladies!
We came home from the ballgame Saturday night, tired... depressed... sunburned... and in dgs's case, with strep throat.
But we didn't know he had strep throat until Monday afternoon! I thought he had just gotten too hot at the game, and thought maybe the sunburn was causing him to run a fever. * In my defense -- he DID have on sunscreen, but not a lot on his face b/c he wiggled away so much when I tried to put it there.
He threw up when we got home, but again, I just thought the heat and the milkshake he had drunk on the way home could have caused that.
I gave him Tylenol and he took a lukewarm bath, and he acted like he felt a 1000% better, running around playing, etc. I had asked him if he wanted to go home to his mommy and his own bed, and he said no, he was fine.
On Sunday morning, he still felt hot, but again -- sunburn -- and I gave him Tylenol again and we went to church.
Sunday evening, when we were all supposed to go to dcousin's birthday party, ddil called and said his temp was over 102!
She suspected strep then, although he had not really been complaining with a sore throat.
DGD and I went to the party and Monday, ddil took dgs to the doctor and they confirmed strep. Or "strack" as dgs puts it.
He's on an antibiotic now so I imagine he will feel much better soon!
Yesterday, to keep dgd away from him as much as possible, I took her with me to get my allergy shot refills. That's about a 45 min drive each way.
Also yesterday, while I was trying to get my s2s, etc... dmom called... dfriend in bankruptcy came by for dh and me to read another letter she had received and try to explain it to her... ds called... dh asked me to make hotel reservations for May... and I managed to get a load of laundry in and out of the washer!
Last night, we went to see the movie
Gosnell -- about the abortion doctor trial. Oh. My. Goodness. I don't care how you feel about abortion -- I would not have let that doctor treat a hangnail! The clinic was so dirty and cluttered -- oh my... it looked like something on
Hoarders! I personally am opposed to abortion, but again, whatever your feelings -- he was performing abortions past the 24 week limit, under very unsanitary conditions, allowing unlicensed aides to administer anesthesia... it was just a HORRIBLE situation.
The movie is NOT graphic or anything like that -- you never see the actual procedures -- it is more like a crime drama you'd see on tv -- but it IS sad and shocking. I'm glad we saw it though.
Also glad we saw
Bad Times at the El Royale -- which I think
Harriet mentioned. It IS pretty graphic, to be honest, but it is one of those movies where you keep thinking, "I didn't see THAT coming," LOL. (Well, maybe y'all WOULD see it coming; sometimes I'm kinda slow.) But it is really neat the way the story unfolds and you get the back-story on the various characters. DH and I both like Jeff Bridges, and he's one of the main stars. It was really interesting but yes... pretty bloody in some parts. It takes place in the late 60s, and I always enjoy movies that take place in a different time period too.
Time to flip the laundry again... I finally did get s2s, walked away the pounds for 17 minutes, got my Bible reading done and took my vitamins.
Basically, I've finished my morning routine and it is just past 4:00 pm.
Well no... not finished. I didn't s/s the bath.
