SHEs Organized

Welcome to the Weekend!

Even for those of us not working outside the home, the weekend always has a different vibe since it is when so many family/entertaining events happen.

What can you do to get yourself ready for the weekend?

I'm up.

I didn't remake the bed with clean sheets because I've only been in it 2 nights this week. Don't know if I'll remake it in the middle of next week or not.

My tea is steeping.

I haven't done vitals yet, I suppose I should do that before my tea.

I haven't taken drugs since 4. I guess I should take something for my 'pain' (more discomfort.) When I yawn or burp it feels as if someone is shoving me hard in the stomach. I get fleeting sharp pains as well but they are all over my abdomen, not in one spot. I wasn't productive last night and I think it was because I stretched the pain killers too far. One thing about pancreatic pain - regular pain killers won't touch it, you either have to live with it (which I could if this was only as bad as it gets) or take a narcotic of some sort.

Today I have to decide by lunch time if we are going away or not.

Woke up really tired this morning, would have slept in except that I need to get ready for cleaning lady, who will probably be here within the hour. I'll take ddogs out to walk when I'm done with the straightening up for her.

I've read the paper and need to get moving.

Good Morning

Sunny - what a fun time with your Dfamily! I hope I remember the baking soda paste solution for bee stings. Love simple solutions that work well.

Kathryn - I think you are recovering remarkable well and fast. You are doing a good job monitoring your body signals.

Twins - You are such a good sister & daughter. POTB!

I keep looking forward to having days spent at home during summer break, however they have been few and far between. Most of today will be spent away from home. This morning is WW meeting and one-on-one time with DGS16. This evening we will travel to vDFriends home for Friday Night Gang gathering.

Harriet: HRH is wise. Try and not do anything out of the ordinary if you can. You need time to recover from all the social events you've endured over the past week.

Your routines don't count - they have the power to help you feel normal and in control so do as much of those as you want.

Prepare yourself for the 'grief' cold (that's what my sister calls it.) About 10 days after all the commotion, she reliably would get sick and I've noticed I do too. Your body has been through a lot. I'd up my stress vitamins and try and be extra kind to my body. Stroll around the property, snuggle with grandbabies, put on calming music while you work around, make it out to the quilt studio when you are ready.

If I am going today, we leave in 5 hours. The dilaudin I took at 8 has taken effect so I need to get moving now.

I've had breakfast but still need to s2s.

Kathryn I don't know where in the area you are headed, but the Indy is going on down on the Lakeshore. (CNE area)

Just got back from pulmonary Dr visit for dh. Wants to see him again in 6 weeks. Will do a chest x-ray then to be sure lungs are clear by then. Fine line right now between heart & lungs. He will probably start cardiac rehab next week. Dr wants to keep him 'busy'

DD just got a kick in the gut via a phone call. More in J&C.

Hope you can enjoy your grandchildren today & then start this long process of recovery, Harriet. Know you're no stranger to all this process, but do take care of YOU! You are loved from near and afar!

If you happen by, LurkyLou, Happy Anniversary to you and your dh.
