Med. makes me a bit jittery. Hope I will heal OK. Thanks for caring. It was my own stupid fault working while I was too tired to do so. My ankles arn't so good and lifting isn't either. I should have known better. xxginnie

Oh Ginnie, I'm so sorry, Glad you got taken care of. Do please take it easy. I hope your vertebrae will be ok and that you won't have to stay on the jitterbug painkiller too long.

You called that medication correctly, it is the jitterbug. I am shakey as the dose went up today. Just not sure with bi-polar if this is good for me. Seems to be making me agitated and nervous in an abnormal way. Stomach queeze. Is all that normal?. This feels more like prednisone which I don't react to very well either.
Sitting out today, no work just rest. I have 5 days on this then taper. I go back next monday. Gonna be an icky week. We sure do put up with stuff don't we??? Take care of yourself too Waves. Love all of you. ginnie

I will stay as safe as I can. I have to take Derrick to get his last shot.

I have debated cancelling, but I really hate to do that. Because I messed
up the last time with this series and he had to start all over.

And I don't want that to happen again.

And then Devin's meds need picked up and I just offered to do that.

It looks like its stopped for now so it should be safe. We will see as
it gets closer.

You are a brave and kind mother, Donna.

I wish you safe travels on these important errands you are undertaking for both your children.

Afterwards I hope you get some time to kick back and relax indoors, maybe with a cup of cocoa.

Well my husband was nice enough to take Derrick and I.


But I'm very mad to say the least at the school nurse. Seems she had
a conversation with the nurses in the office in January. And Derrick
has had all the shots he needs. And she was supposed to call me and
let me know. So why he still had an appt I do not know. But that doesn't
matter near as much as the fact that the nurse didn't let me know.

So I had told the nurse, that I either needed a note or something stating
the fact he had enough shots and nothing more was needed. Or she would
put him out of school. Or he was to get the shot anyway.

So she went and talked to the doctor. Came back with a note from him,
and the list of when his shots were. And said. That the nurse could take
this and if it didn't work. Then well I don't usually say those words.

But we all three had a laugh.

We went after Devin's meds, then ran a couple of errands and had a nice time.

And then went 4-wheeling in his new truck. So it was nice.

Hi everyone,

Today was fairly nippy, but otherwise it was a clear, sunny day.

I managed to get out!

I got today's cooking done by 1pm, covered everything, then went to the store.

When i was on a low carb diet, I ate my way through all my mom's Wasa crackers (very low carbs, and lots of fiber). So I went to replace those. I brought home some perks for me too: beer, hot dogs, and these little crunchy bread twists with fennel seed. I forced myself to pick between the fennel seed kind and the cayenne pepper kind (as opposed to buying both, as I was strongly inclined to do)! I let availability choose for me - there were lots of cayenne pepper ones, so I figured I could get those next time.

So yes... I went OUT! I got out of the HOUSE! Yaaaaaay!!

Monday I am thinking of going to get new glasses.

Waves,

I love beautiful days!!
You did great choosing the fennel over the cayenne. Fennel tastes better anyway although I am sure that the cayenne tastes fine.

Have fun picking out new glasses.
