The runny nose and sneezing are gone. All I'm left with is a sharp pain on the left side of my head, stabbing me. Ugh.
Perhaps my body thinks when it is under the weather I need to eat more and then it decides to hold onto every single calorie because it is sure I need them. The scale was up today, with of course no reason as once again I was well within my RDI. Oh well.
DH did decide to go to the memorial yesterday. I was feeling too crappy so I stayed home. He brought my mom back home so that was good. One less thing on my plate to take care of. I was going to bearing her home Monday after work since I am working in the town she is visiting but she remembered she has a doctor appointment on Monday at 12:30. Our doctor closed his practice last year to take another job. Since then she has had an awful time finding a doctor in our town who accepts Medicare! She's been seeing one but she doesn't like or trust him and he works out of UrgentCare. Every time she goes in she has to fill out their intake papers. She usually ends up waiting an hour or more to see the doc. He tells her one thing one visit the the next visit says I don't know why I told you that. So needless to say I didn't want her to miss this visit with a new doc ... I'm keeping my fingers crossed she will be a fit for mom. We both miss our old doc. We wish he hadn't closed his practice. Mom jokes about checking herself into LifeCare (where he is the physician now) so she can see him! LOL!
Not sure what's on my plate for today. I didn't do anything productive yesterday. If I can scoot by without doing laundry this week I will wait until next weekend when I have 3 days off. Imagine I ought to check the bank account, maybe organize a little, but I'm still feeling lazy. If this pain in my head subsides perhaps some exercise in my future.
At the moment I'm drinking coffee and trying to warm up the house. This only 55 inside this morning but it has risen to a balmy 11.6 outside! Woo hoo! I was on my way downstairs at one point in the night when DH asked what I was doing. Told him, he said "it's hot in here" so I climbed back in bed. Even though it's chilly in here now it did give me the opportunity to scoop out some ashes which were abundant after a week or more of nonstop fire!
Decisions to be made about DH's mouth. His teeth are in poor shape. Dentist wants to do root canals and crowns which I know are very expensive. He's already lost a few teeth over the past few years. Gum disease extraordinaire. He is really thinking about extractions and dentures at this point. Our dental insurance sucks. He gets $1000.00 coverage a year. One root canal and crown is more than that. Sad to see him struggle with this and find myself wishing we had unlimited funds or at least more funds. How is it we in the "middle class" no longer can take care of ourselves?
Grateful for
Quiet mornings when I'm alone to do what I want!
Sniffles and sneezes are gone!
DH is still with me
Generator still generating
Take care ... Thanks for stopping by ... I love knowing I have friends everywhere!
Another day of practicing kindness, hopefully one in which I'm not so dang hungry! LOL. Carry on my friends, carry on!
