been a bit of a bug going around… upset stomachs and headaches…

this morning I woke up with a headache… not the greatest start to the day…
had an 8 am dentist appointment for a filling… was very proud of myself… for the first time ever I wasn’t gripping the chair the entire time… I have been very nervous of dentists since I had a bad experience when I was little… my dentist specializes in “chickens“, lol…
the sky had some mighty ugly clouds as we drove home…
the headache didn’t go away, so when I got home, I slept for an hour and a half… still there when I got up, but I made some supper and got ready to go out…
one of my BS buddies picked two of us up, and we peeled and sliced just under 15 pounds of potatoes for another member of the group… her brother’s memorial service is tomorrow and the extended family will be gathering at her place for dinner… she is a great cook and it was fun to see her family recipe for scalloped potatoes, slightly different than the ones we each use…
were done in an hour and home shortly after…
heading to bed looking forward to waking up with a clear head…

big girl pants, Christmas stocking, cold bag on my head, headache, orange and strawberry smoothie
made it through the day…
felt a bit better around 9:30 thanks to an orange and strawberry smoothie…
by about one was starting to feel poorly again… as the afternoon progressed my head started to ache…
since getting home I have eaten a little bit, slept a little bit and now I am laying down with a cold bag on my head that was in my Christmas stocking…
hope it feels better soon…

woke up with a bad headache… my arm was very sore, as were my feet and back…
went out for a hot tub, wearing my water shoes and that worked very well, particularly as it was snowing like crazy and my slippers would have filled up with snow… wore a toque and a baseball hat to keep warm and not have snow in my eyes…
then went back into the house and slept for another few hours… still had the headache, but it had eased somewhat…
basically have done nothing all day, and my head is finally feeling better… feet are okay and my arm has improved as well…
going back to bed and looking forward to a good day tomorrow…
as I went upstairs just before dark the moon was gazing down at me so I went and got the camera and tripod and took a few pictures…

beautiful moon, big girl pants, BS buddies, Dobby, flu shot, headache, healing vibes, omelet, personal difficulties, taking time
on my way out this morning I spotted a beautiful moon in the lovely blue sky…
stopped to enjoy it and took a picture, even though I was running a bit behind… been trying to remind myself to enjoy the moment, whatever it may be…
tonight, when I got home I had a little nap as my head had been aching since mid-afternoon and I was hoping that might fix it… didn’t work, but when I got up I made myself a lovely omelet (a la Dobby) which I enjoyed very much…
then I rested and watched a bit of tv while waiting for my BS buddies to arrive… four of us had a great time tonight… one of us was home sick with the flu…
tonight I will spend a bit of time thinking and sending healing vibes to many who I know who are currently experiencing personal difficulties…
am thinking that the headache might be a remnant of the flu shot I had on Saturday…
so it is to bed I head…

carpet, drywall, George, headache, insurance, physio, ServiceMaster, tucked me in bed
rough day as I was struggling with a very bad headache… haven’t had one like that in many months… was taking notes for two hours and wondered if I was going to make it till the end…
left work around 2:30 and headed out to my physio appointment… was heated up, bent out of shape, pummeled, iced and electrocuted, then sent home…
looking forward to sleep I found a message from ServiceMaster who wanted to come and check out the carpet and basement wall… one fellow arrived, had a look and called some other guys who came and removed a portion of the underpad and set up blowers and a dehumidifier which will run until Tuesday when they will come back and take out two feet of drywall across the entire wall…
then I will wait to hear what the cost of doing a complete fix will be… they won’t do anything until I get home…
finally, after all that I got to have a short nap…
George would have known exactly what to do, sigh… I am missing him like crazy… he would have got me something to eat and drink and tucked me into bed and then dealt with all the craziness in the basement…

been a quiet few days… spent one day in the house, tidying and putting presents away…
next day I took the decorations off the Norfolk Pine, as another one fell and broke overnight… I also went out to have my eye looked at, got a flu shot, stopped for prescriptions at the drug store, and had my hair cut… I am enjoying the time away from work and look forward to the next few days of quiet as well…
I picked up a few items we might need in Mexico, and began collecting things in one spot to go into the suitcase…
I am looking forward to spending time with all my kids in a warm and relaxing environment… George would have been so happy that we were taking a family trip… I am sure his spirit will be with us…
today have had a pounding headache since this afternoon… wondering if it is from the flu shot…
went shopping with the kids… wandered through Ikea, and then picked up a shovel at Rona – took them some chocolates and nuts… George would have liked that…
since then I have been laying on the bed, trying to get over the headache… been a long time since I have had one… makes me think back to the years when I suffered from migraine on a regular basis, luckily not the real serious ones, but debilitating, nonetheless…
George would look after me, doing the little things he could to help… filling the bathtub with hot water, bringing cold cloths for my head… dealing with the girls…
tonight I think I will go out for a hot tub and remember my beloved…
