Another weekend is coming to an end. Days go by so fast lately and they are all full of what seems like nothing. Dropping off and picking up the step kids & their friends, shopping, cooking. Blah. Ri is working all week, he came by last night and hung out for a bit but I won't see him again until Friday :-( I miss my kid. Between his work and my work and his volunteering and his own bird (who knew parrots needed so much friggin attention) I never see him and it's making me sad. At the same time though, I'm glad that he's building his own happy little life. That's the goal right? Raise a happy, successful adult. Sigh... My cousin is getting married next weekend, I said I'd go to the wedding. I wish I hadn't, I hate weddings and generally decline invitations. I send a gift and move on. I said I'd go to this one because my parents guilted me into it. We have a very small extended family and my cousin is a motherless only child (her mother died a lit...
I've exercised 3 days in a row!! I know that for most this is nothing but for me it's awesome!! Especially since I basically took a year off from any form of actual exercise. I'm sore but in a good way, I'm tired but in a way that makes sleep delicious and not just something I "should" do. Ri came to visit tonight, 24 hours after antibiotics and he's looking and feeling like a million times better. He's still got a cough, which is expected, but at least he feels better. I know the feeling well, I used to have bronchitis every winter. Asthma + cold season = very sick Catie. I love that he's feeling better, joking around and eating again :-) Now if only P would start getting better. Goodness knows I love the man but his cough is keeping us all up at night. Nyquil didn't touch it last night. Time to start nagging him to see a doctor. Chances are his cold is now bronchitis too. :-( Joy.
This week ended up being a rough one. The day after my last post I came down with a lousy cold complete with fever, body aches, exhaustion, cough and stuffy nose. Everyone that knows me knows that I can't stand having a stuffy nose. CAN'T. STAND. IT. I use nasal spray (like Afrin) on a daily basis just to keep my nose extra clear. When I have a cold the spray doesn't really help and neither do the decongestants in the liquid cold medicine I've been taking for the rest of the symptoms. I hate breathing through my mouth and have trouble sleeping when I have to so between the cold and lack of sleep it's been a fairly crappy week. I felt like I did nothing but chase my own tail all week at work, training a new person and wrestling with unusual requests. P ended up working overtime every day this week getting home around 3am, accidentally waking me (not hard considering...) I hate not seeing him at all and when I talk to him I can tell that he's exhausted. 12 hour ...
