Ugh. We haven't had rain in weeks, and of course it rains the day we're getting landscaping put in. It's just sprinkling so far, so I'm hoping they can still work.

I'm sick. My new immunosuppressant drug so my blood stops being eaten is making it worse. I'm miserable.
I am so sick and I'm sick of being sick. I had a cold that started in mid May. Was almost gone by mid June. Doc increased my immunosuppressant drug because my body is still eating my blood. Cold came back and was still hanging around. Last Thursday ended up with slight viral infection of my eye. Friday saw doc again. Blood still being chewed up, platelets down, and my neutrophils were 330. Got sent for a sinus CT due to cold (ignoring throat issue). He decided that drug wasn't working and switched me to a different drug. Started on Sunday. Tuesday started spiking fevers. Spent Wednesday at hospital. Determined my new drug dose is too high (fevers are side effect if too high). Was miserable yesterday. Throat really hates me can't eat can barely drink. Tonsil is taking up half of my throat. Fevers are back. Back to the hospital today to be miserable in waiting rooms. I just want to cry, but it hurts.

I must have had a nightmare last night because the inside of my top lip is bitten up really bad on the inside and the first thing I tasted was blood. Now I can't stop messing with the cuts.
I've gained 5lbs in two weeks and I am pissed at myself for all of the late night trips to the kitchen.
My kitten doesn't look like a kitten anymore and it makes me sad.
I feel really lucky today to have friends who take the time to lift my spirits when I'm having a hard time, and I really hope I return the favor when they're struggling. My bff in particular said something really nice last night, and I don't think I'll forget it for a long time.
I'm so happy it's Friday. The weekend will go too fast, as always, but I'm just glad it's here!

I am almost finished packing for our overnight out of town. We are going to see the Patriots training camp tomorrow and explore Boston for a little bit. I am so excited!
One of our housemates did the dishes last night, it was going to be my only chore, but since he did then I got to relax and crochet.
I am so thankful for my H. After traveling alone with DS it's going to be so nice to have the extra hands.
I keep having the most bizarre dreams. Last night it was that I was gardening with my bff's brother. Something flooded so we had to use pots an pans to scoop out the water but I accidentally kept spreading lettuce seed everywhere, then I noticed his online banking was open and someone was draining all of the money from it. Suddenly I was like a computer genius and hacked into some crazy shit to find the person. It was weird. Lol.

ginandjucie24 Have fun!! I'm jealous, i havent been down to the training camp in ages. You should hit up the patriots hall of fame (its located in the pro shop)while your down there(if you haven't already been). Oh, and bring your AAA Card, you get a discount on the ticket price!
We are going on vacation with my SIL and her GF this weekend. I do not care for SIL, at all. I hadn't been particularly impressed with the gf either, but yesterday I got a sweet FB message from her asking what she do to help cook meals and stuff while we are at the beach house. I thought that was very sweet, and it gives me hope that if she's not insufferable, it might make family relations much easier in the future.
Maybe she'll even bring out the best in SIL? You never know!
I am avoiding cleaning and packing, that's why I'm all up in this post, lol
Well, they have been together for 3 years now and that definitely hasn't happened, lol. Which is fine, honestly, I'm not expecting SIL to become a rose any time soon.
But if she has a partner that is pleasant to be around, that will make the obligatory family gathers much better, KWIM?

Thanks for the tip! I will put the hall of fame on our agenda. It will be our first ever trip to to Gillette Stadium and to Boston. We are going to be total tourist. .

Kraft did a great job designing Gillette stadium & patriot place. You picked a good time to come, enjoy being a tourist. :-)
I am running the Big Ten 10k tomorrow and am so flicking excited. It is awesome, and they have a tailgate afterwards.
I'm working at Starbucks right now but their wifi is down, so I can't access my work network...so even though I should go home, enjoying some time here first.
I keep having horrible thoughts that something is wrong with the baby and I don't know, and I'll show up to my anatomy scan in a few weeks and find out horrible news. I do not like this new level of crazy and paranoia in my brain. The nagging feeling that this paranoia will now never go away is freaking me out a bit. Like, I'll think, "Once I feel the baby move, I'll feel better." but then I know if it stops moving for a while, I'll get freaked. Or "Once the baby's out and I can see/hear him/her, I'll feel better, but obviously there is a whole new host of fears once the baby is out in the world. Aiyiyi.
My H and ILs (who recently watched the boys) keep bugging me that I need to take the boys into the doctor for a cough.
-They cough about once an hour. It is not painful. I never hear them cough at night. Sleeping awesome. -They both had colds last week -They never had fevers -They are not in distress or even uncomfortable. Just a phlemgy cough every once in awhile.
OMG, this does not constitute going to the doctor. I can not get this through to H. This morning I told him he was free to take them in if he was concerned. Well that shut him up. :-)

Shameless bragging ahead.
I started at a boxing gym on July 7th - and as of this morning, I'm down TEN pounds. TEN. I've never, ever made the scale move in that direction except for when I had my gallbladder out and didn't eat for a week.
And best of all? It's FUN. Like, really, really fun. I'm pissed at myself for gaining 20 pounds since January - because I just think of where I could be now instead of trying to lose this extra weight that I never should have put on. But here I am, and there it goes.
My house has been without power and water (well water, electric pump) for 8 days now due to the wildfires in WA. Thankfully my house is fine but we have some friends who have lost their homes. I feel like an ass venting about not having a working refrigerator or a shower when people lost everything. The past couple weeks have been absolutely devastating for my community. DS and I stayed with my parents for a few days and driving home last night through the area where the fire burned broke my heart.
I feel bad about an interaction I had yesterday. So I was waiting outside my place of employment waiting for H to pick me up, which happens to be a huge research hospital.
A lady was acting strange and eventually made a huge point of coming to sit by me besides the fact there were a million other benches closer. Okay fine. Then she starts talking and I can tell she is wanting me to dig for information, but I am a bit guarded about what she is wanting from me.
Eventually she tells me as H was pulling up that her teenage son is dying of cancer. He was at the hospital now and she was a couple hours away from her whole family. I told her I was so sorry and told her to be strong. Then I got up and got in our vehicle.
But now I am feeling guilty for being so guarded with her because of her strange behavior. And I hope I wasn't too cold with her. I sort of assumed she was trying to get friendly with me and ask for money. And maybe that was what she was trying to do. But that is bitchy of me to assume. Maybe she just really was looking for someone to talk too and I had my wall up.
Ugh, it was kind of an evaluate yourself situation.
I'm heading to the British Library to do some final research (hoping it's final). I hate having to leave my home, get on public transportation which is usually hot and icky, just to spend 1/2 hour reading 3 articles. Oh, well. Must be done.
Can you do something else in that part of town?
I had a counselling appointment after so it wasn't a total loss, but unfortunately it was on the opposite side of London so took about 40 minutes to get there. London - love it but also blah!

Here's my other random. I just realised that TODAY is the 10th anniversary of moving to London. I came over here for a job - 2 year contract. And, well, met my DH, got married, bought a house, adopted a dog...and stayed!
