Happy birthday to my oldest – Jason. He came into this world weighing 10 pounds 2 ounces. I’m so proud of the man he has become. So looking forward to his wedding later this year.
I went to the doctor today. He wasn’t able to do much for me and still is thinking it is the C-Diff causing my ongoing problems and nothing else. I am to continue on bland foods, i.e. chicken noodle soup, rice and bananas for the near future. Once I can go several days without a bathroom emergency I can start trying to add gentle foods in. He encouraged patience.
My patience level is pretty low right now. I know progress is being made and things are slowly down but dang, I am so tired of this. I will allow myself to feel my disappointment and anger for today and then pull up my big girl panties tomorrow and deal. I can do this!
We called the people that Jim is buying a saw from when I was done with the doctor. Turns out we needed a trailer to haul the thing so they were kind enough to deliver it to Jim. How very considerate and kind of them. Jim was pleased with the condition of the saw and felt he got a good deal.
Once the saw was delivered Jim went back to town to run the errands we were going to run while we were in town. I needed two prescriptions picked up and some more bananas. He is picking up another gallon of paint for the rental house.
When I gathered eggs this morning there were four girls in the same nesting box. The other five nesting boxes were empty. How like humans chickens are sometimes. We humans tend to follow each other and not look for other options.
Tomorrow my friend is coming to do some massage work. It will be fun to see her again and to see her clients. I get treated to a massage at the end of her day. That will be sweet.
Jim is going to the rental house tomorrow to mow the yard one last time. I’m glad we can turn that over to our renter after this last mow. The handyman is going to paint tomorrow and may get finished by the end of the day. We shall see.
We don’t have any plans for the weekend. I have jury duty Monday afternoon unless they cancel it. I need to schedule a haircut but can’t do that until I know if I will be tied up in court.
I think Jim is going to Stillwater next week to work on his house there. He changes his mind often so we will see if he makes it. He has lots of projects to do here as well as there.
I called another company that does basement work to get an estimate. They are coming July 27 to look at the job. Hopefully one or the other of the companies will be able to do the work sometime soon and find out why I keep getting water in the basement.
I have a growing respect for people that have a chronic health condition. Thankfully, mine is short lived relatively speaking. I don’t do well when I don’t feel well for long periods of time.
Grateful for my body healing, grateful for chicken noodle soup, and grateful for Jason and all the joy he has brought to my life.
Our bodies are amazing for resilience. How in the world did you have a 10 pound plus baby?!!!! And are you really feeling well enough for jury duty?! You are amazing period. Always thank you for the pearls of wisdom that I often find in your postings. You are the best! Sending positive thoughts your way for much better days soon!
