How's it going, Kay?

Do you follow any sports besides football?


I so much wish I was in a market that had a good baseball team.

It's funny you brought up sports, Mari. I decided to buy my brother a gift certificate to a ticket agency for his graduation. He goes to several Red Sox and Pats games a year, so he will make good use of it.

I used to be a DIE HARD Red Sox fan... never missed a game, knew everyone's stats, listened to sports radio all the time, etc. Corey doesn't enjoy baseball, so I would DVR games and watch them after he went to bed. But that was when I was not sleeping at night...
LONG story short, I can't stay up that late anymore, and I had to give up my Red Sox. I could DVR the games and watch them during the day, but I'm afraid of being sucked back in. It was an addiction. I miss my baseball tho.

The swim top with the thumb holes arrived. The style is perfect, but it's way too big, so I will have to return it, too. I will have to be VERY careful about the next one I order because I'm NOT doing another f***ing return.

I told Corey last night:
" Last weekend you did yard work for (your step father), and this weekend is Mothers Day. Next weekend I NEED YOUR HELP. I want to take ALL the laundry we have to the laundromat so I can catch up. It's unreasonable to expect me to go twice a week. I really shouldn't be going by myself AT ALL."

He agreed.
This time, I'm going to hold his feet to the fire. It won't get me out of doing laundry by myself, but I won't feel so overwhelmed, and I won't feel pressured to take so much to the laundromat every time. I'm proud of myself for asserting myself. I will remind him of the conversation in case he was drunker than I thought he was when we talked about it, which sometimes happens.

I colored my hair yesterday morning and cleaned the tub/shower afterwards. I laid down for a nap around noon, and by the time I woke up at 5:30pm, the mag. citrate I took about 10hrs before started working.
I needed all that sleep. I've been running errands, have been trying to get cleaning done, and missed a nap somewhere along the way.

I have a lot to do today, but I don't see how I can get it all done. If I do too much today, I will have a harder time getting around at my brother's graduation tomorrow.

Do your cats fight?
ours started to a week ago.
We just have two and they usually get along but all of a sudden they are really fighting. Hattie the bigger cat is attacking hazel the small one. Is there anything that we should do? Would it matter?
I am not sure about cat behavior, hazel is hiding under the futon in the family room and hattie is on top of the futon.
sigh

edited to add that she just came out and hattie ignored her....

Kay,

I'm happy to see that you found a present idea for your brother.

Good luck getting around at the graduation.

Yesterday I got really short of breath in the shower (which isn't that unusual lately), and got so lightheaded that I had to get down on my knees so I didn't pass out...
So I called my PCP to make an appointment, but he's booked up until October! They said they had an appointment available with the NP next Wednesday. I think I need to go to "urgent care" today. I booked the appointment with the NP anyway because my insurance requires me to follow up with my doctor after I go to urgent care or the ER, so I figured it was better to make the appointment sooner rather than later.
I got on the scale this morning and I lost more weight. I'm down to 138.6 lbs now. I haven't had much of an appetite for the last couple of days (even for chocolate), but I am eating.

We needed a new fan, so I had to search for one that fit the bill. I bought one online and had to pick it up yesterday at a Target about 40 minutes away. It is a vast improvement over what we had. It is tall enough and much more powerful, so we will be much more comfortable sleeping when it's hot out (we're not allowed to have an AC in our bedroom window).

The ride there was HELL. On the way back, I went the long way home, which was more familiar to me, less stressful, and therefore safer. There's no way I can drive myself into Boston. When I told Corey, he said, "no s***." So, I think I will be able to get him to drive me in when I need him to.

I have dirty laundry in the trunk. IF I feel okay to do it today, I will go to the laundromat. Otherwise, it can wait until tomorrow. I made sure Corey understands that even if I don't get around to doing it until tomorrow, I still need him to come with me to the laundromat this weekend to take care of the laundry back up.

I couldn't find any bathing suit bottoms (everything was picked over), so I will be forced to wear the big ones unless I get a sudden burst of energy and get to Kohl's. I hope they stay in place in the water.

[Mari]

Kay,

Good luck at urgent care.

Do you have safety bars or an appropriate rail or chair to balance yourself in the shower?
Sorry to hear that you did not get the suit bottoms.

Kay

Do you have any shorts that might work for the bottoms to a swimsuit.
Thats what I would look into till you can find something else.

I sure hope you start feeling better too.
