Weekend randoms [emoji846]

[wineandcheese]

It's the weekend!

I have a pretty boring day today. Housework is top of my list. I need to do my hair today too. I might work on party decorations too. DH is working so I'm going to turn up the music and get to what I have to do today. I just wish it was going to be warmer so I can open the windows but it's only going to be in the low 40s.

I'm very seriously considering a massage this weekend. I'm still so sore from the plane, and a massage sounds woooonderful.

I'm getting my bangs trimmed this afternoon. Also, H and I are trying to figure out what we want to do for a date. We're going to see along, either tonight or tomorrow, and we're talking about going out for dinner tonight or breakfast tomorrow. H is being indecisive so I haven't made any actual decisions yet. lol.

[estrellita]

We're going to get haircuts and groceries. Pretty exciting day, haha. It's nice out so we'll probably play outside with E later!

[krystee]

Thanks to grover's H's company, DH and I are at the Bulls game for free! grover you did not tell me the parking was so amazingly close and we're on the club level! This is awesome!! Anytime you need someone to take tickets off your hands, we volunteer. Thank you so much!

well I finally finished my exam blueprint! the past 2 exams, I finished about an hour or two before the exam, and this time, I finished about 20 hours ahead of time, so yay! I have 36 handwritten pages of notes for my blueprint--in addition to the printed powerpoints on which I took notes for these 3 units. my hand hurts, I've been writing nonstop for 2 days.

I'm going to take a break to shower, then do some computer modules. exciting stuff. DH and E are at BIL's house to stay out of my hair.

and I haven't even started on this week's lectures for either of my classes. womp womp.  that's what I'll be doing tomorrow afternoon after my test.

It's been a busy but fun day. Just got home from having dinner with my mom and grandma. Every time we (me and the girls) see my mom and/or grandma I'm so glad we didn't move. I still want to explore and visit places but my heart is here at home with family. 

[rockinrobyn]

We had family pictures today. Thank goodness the weather was gorgeous and L was in a good mood. H has ribs in the oven and I have cheesecake in the fridge. L is going to bed soon so it will be a nice relaxing night for H and I.

[luv2rn4fun]

We did a family walk, I took C to the park, we visited with a neighbor friend, and C played with his water table! DH ran errands while the boys napped! Also, there was a post on FB about a foster mom (with 2 newborns) needing breastmilk. I had 150 oz in my freezer and was able to give it to her!

The boys are in bed...time to relax and enjoy some vodka and cranberry juice!

[amaranth]

We skied all day and I'm pretty wiped, but after a catnap I think I'm good to party now. The amount of liquor and snacks purchased for 2 days here is insane! Haha.

[grover]

We took a long walk with the pups to CVS so I could get some caffeine. They also had a $10 off of a $15 pick up order, so I ordered a pack of diapers and chips ahoy cookies. Lol

My BIL's FMIL was in town (she used to live across the neighborhood from us so she stopped by to visit and meet A. I wish this lady was my mom or my MIL. She's just that awesome. She even apologized for her daughter not asking me to be a bridesmaid....I was like, I'd rather be able to drink and hang out, is that bad? This will save us so much money since H is probably going to need a tux, we will both need a dress, and then we need to drive 5 hours and get a hotel room and meals out.

Tomorrow H's grandma is supposed to come over. She was supposed to come last week but canceled. She also had invited herself to the hospital, but got lost and then turned around to go back home. I know she's really lonely, especially after losing her son, but I kind of want to go back to when we talked to her once every few months. Now she's calling and emailing every day at least once a day.

[Blue Moon]

B and I have been solo this weekend. We had a fun day yesterday of shopping, lunch out, naps for us both, finger paint, and cookie making. I'm wiped now though and ready for H to get home. For now we're snuggled on the couch watching Frozen.

[wineandcheese]

It's opening weekend at our favorite winery! We are leaving in a few minutes to meet my bff. Last wine tasting for awhile. We are booking a cruise soon so we have 6 months to lose some weight and wear a bathing suit without shirts on in public. we are changing up our diets to 80/20 clean. More exercise, less wine.

[estrellita]

Ugh I'm super cranky today. Just one of those days. I'm also weaning off my ADs so that's not really helping matters I'm hoping when E takes a nap I can relax a bit. I hope H does something productive. I'm sick of nagging him and being the only one making an effort to keep this place even sort of clean. Grrr. I wish my brain would work normally so I'd stop feeling so frustrated over little things.

[katespade]

I'm pretty sure that I have some sort of inner ear infection or something. I've had vertigo since I got home on Thursday. It was a little better on Friday, even better on Saturday, and got worse again today. I feel awful.

Should I go to my doctor for something like this, or wait for it to go away on its own?

[grover]

katespade, if I was feeling miserable I'd call the doctor tomorrow. The last time my ears hurt, I had a double ear infection and got meds.

I just don't want to go if they're going to tell me there's nothing they can do and I have to wait it out. My ears don't hurt, but my sinuses and ears feel congested and I have a headache. Plus the vertigo, which is definitely the worst part.

[luv2rn4fun]

Hope you feel better katespade. I hardly ever go to the doctor for something like this but maybe call and see what they suggest?

Blue Moon- sounds like a good weekend! Hope your DH is home soon!

C and I went for a 4.5 mile run this morning! It was nice to get out and it's beautiful here today! We are just hanging out at home the rest of the day. I might walk to the store and by stuff to make brownies once the boys are in bed tonight.

[tacocat]

We've been outside a bunch this weekend and my allergies are starting to kick my butt. Hopefully the season doesn't last too long.

BIL and his girlfriend were in town this weekend, and we had a surprise birthday party for a friend yesterday, so we've had a busy weekend.

[wineandcheese]

estrellita hugs! If you need to talk PM me. I'm just starting to feel normal after going off ADs. It gets better, I promise! ❤️

katespade feel better! I would go to the doctor for an ear infection. Anything ear or sinus related I usually talk to my doctor.

tacocat my allergies have been horrible the last week. I have a feeling it's going to be a bad allergy season.

[estrellita]

Thanks wineandcheese! I've done it before but the withdrawal sucks so much. I get the "electric shock" sorta thing which according to Google happens to other people so I'm not alone, haha. I just hate that I'm feeling things I haven't really felt in a while. Nothing serious but still annoying.

I've kept myself fairly busy all day with laundry and picking up around the house, then I made some curry cauliflower rice and chickpeas which was AMAZING and I'd eat it every day if it took less time, lol.

[wineandcheese]

estrellita I have a funny story about the "shock." I had my first one while walking into the emergency room with a patient and it freaked me out. I ran to the ER doc like "WTF am I dying?" He asked me a few questions and laughed at me. Luckily we can have a relationship like like lol. Honestly I took CBD oil and it decreased them to only a few a day. I also use it when I can't sleep. It's expensive but I will never be without it again. I don't take it everyday now. Only when I can't sleep or have a high anxiety day. I have the 350mg/15ml dose. Which I believe is a middle of the road strength.

[estrellita]

wineandcheese I can totally see why that would happen, it still freaks me out when it happens because it's almost like my body is having it's own little panic attack! It's getting a little better but I'm forcing myself to deal with it for as long as possible until I give in!

That sounds like me when I was having severe allergies and sinus infections. The mucus and pressure from your sinuses can back up into your eustachian tubes and cause ear issues. I would definitely call the doctor tomorrow. My old ENT took these pretty seriously.
