I’ve had a rough day

Sadly, this isn’t a fun 30 before 30 post (although I have gotten one done, just not the time to take pictures and actually put a post up).

I mentioned rather cryptically in a previous post about an I.V. that I had recently. I ended up in the hospital the Thursday before last because of problems with my uterus. Today, I had a kick ass surgery to remove a polyp from said uterus. And now, I feel totally kick ass since I am completely nauseous and in pain.

This is the first time all day that I’ve been able to look at anything for an extended period of time without wanting to spew vomit from my head. The only reason I can now is because of the nice anti nausea medications that I have. Even with those I still feel quite horrible. I had visions of having my surgery and recovering peacefully in my bed while reading or watching t.v. Well, that didn’t happen as I couldn’t even deal with any sound. So, up until right now I’ve been laying in silence with my eyes closed. For hours on end. It’s the only thing that didn’t make me feel worse. So yeah, I’ve had better days.

The light at the end of the tunnel for me has been my family. My husband, well, he’s the bomb when it comes to husbands. He has waited on me hand and foot and has been extremely thoughtful in the process. My aunt came to the surgery with us in case we needed anything and stayed through the afternoon. Just having her there knowing that she was there because she cared and loved me healed me more than any medication could. My cousin Suzanne has been there every step of the way with me offering unending advice and guidance. She checked on me numerous times throughout the procedure and let the Dr.’s know that I was her cousin so they better treat me well (and treat me well they did – how I love my Dr.). I swear I would be lost without her, and am so utterly grateful that she finished her Nurse Practitioner degree and now gets to work at such an awesome place. My light at the end of the tunnel.

I am going back to my horizontal plane to close my eyes and drift off. Much love.

I have been sick for weeks I think. First I had the flu and now I have some horrible cold that Brandon passed to me. So I’m laying in bed doing homework, only.

Interesting little story about my laptop… a little while back my battery died.  I ended up buying and off brand battery because the new battery was insanely expensive (and my laptop is getting old).  Well, of course the battery didn’t fit well, and I have to keep the case on to keep the battery in there right (I bought this red case a long time ago when I first got my laptop – it was all scratched up and horrible looking, but I had to use it anyway).  Well, just recently, my charger died.  So Brandon bought me a new charger, and of course, this charger isn’t the same as the old charger.  This charger doesn’t fit with the red case that I have on my laptop.  So guess what, I had to get a new case.  So now I have a blue laptop.  So to say the least, I’m annoyed with my getting old laptop.  I’ve been trying to talk Brandon into getting me an iPad so I won’t need to get a new laptop anytime soon, but the talks haven’t been going well.  My boss Erin wrote a letter for me to give to him saying I needed one because of my oncoming educational pursuits and my job.  It didn’t work either.  Sad.

Speaking of educational pursuits, I have finally decided what to do about grad school.  I had an interview last Wednesday at Binghamton for their grad program.  Before I got home after the interview I had an email letting me know I had gotten in.  Well, even though I got in, I have finally decided to go to Syracuse (or stay there). To make a long story short, with my new job and new hours and new opportunities there, I am going to go to Syracuse part time.  I am hoping to get it done in 3 years though, so it won’t be too bad.  I’m happy with my decision, and exited about moving forward.

We watched Shorty this past week and the poor boy has a sore on his head. By Saturday when he was to be picked up it had healed over quite nicely. About an hour before he gets picked up, he scratches at it and the sore opens again. What a pita. All this for nothing.

I’m sick.  Not sick and tired, but just plain, sick.  I have the whole nine – coughing, extreme sore throat, head congestion, bad body aches…and on and on.  In fact, my head is kind of foggy and I have no idea what I am saying most of the time.  Should be interesting for all who are reading.

I have been trying to update on my phone everyday, but somedays it works, and somedays it doesn’t.  Wordpress for iPhone has quite a few bugs, so hopefully they will work those out soon.

So life, life is…life.  We have been so busy that our desk is filling up with post-its of must dos that are getting done days and days too late.  I in fact should be working on an outline for class tomorrow, but instead I am here, writing.  Only because I have neglected this so long.  The blog needs some love.

A couple of weeks ago now…wow…I’ve been 28 for a couple of weeks, ouch.  Anyway, Brandon had a small get together here at the house for me for my birthday.

That is when Jen made me my wonderful monster cake that Erik insisted on her making me.  Be prepared for lots of lovely facial expressions from me.  Can’t help it, it’s the truth.

I can’t take credit for any of these shots, Ashley took them all.  : )

I’m off, to be sick.

So I really haven’t taken any good pictures lately.  Maybe I have lost my inspiration.  Who knows, but honestly, they kind of suck.  Oh well.  Here goes, anyway.

So, the reason I haven’t posted in 100 years is mainly because I’ve been sick.  Like I said, last Friday Erik and I went with my friend Jen to get her a new puppy.  The weekend was good.  We didn’t do anything too overly interesting.  I had a bridal shower to go to on Saturday for Brandon’s cousin Kristin (who I’ve actually known since I was probably about 14-15).  I managed to get a couple of shots, but like I said, my pictures suck right now.

Kristin is obviously the one in the coral-ish color.  It was a nice shower, anyway.  : )

Then Saturday night Erik spent the night at Brandon’s mother’s house.  So, we ended up with an unexpected date night.  No plans and an empty house meant that Brandon and I went and got some yummy wine and stuff for ice cream sundaes.  And of course a couple of movies.  Avatar, anyone?  -oh and in case you were wondering, the wine was from Goose Watch and it was Rose of Isabella, totally yummy, we drank the whole bottle

Sunday we spent a quiet evening at home.  I got sick Sunday night, very badly.  My stomach was not doing well – I have a very sensitive stomach to say the least.  After being up till around midnight getting sick I finally passed out.  I did feel a little better Monday, but still ended up laying in bed most of the day.  I wasn’t inspired to write anything that day, or take pictures.  My apologies.

Yesterday though I did take a couple of shots.  Brandon and I have commenced the work we promised we would do over the winter.  As we don’t appear to be the best people at sticking to our words – especially when it involves actually spending money – we didn’t work on the boat at all so we are having to do it now.  Unfortunately, it won’t start, so lots of work must be done.  We haven’t spent any time on the lake this year so far, and it is honestly, just, sad.

Oh silly boat.

When Brandon and I were working on the boat last night, Erik decided he was going to walk Logan.  Ha, I know, right?  So, Logan walked Erik.

Don’t worry, he was fine, promise.

Well as today as been horribly rainy and unexciting, alas, no pictures again, today.  I do however have a few more shots, but, no story to go with them, so just, enjoy.  Even though, honestly, they’re bad.  I’m just warning you now.

Oh – I do have a couple more pictures with a story.  A few weeks ago Ashley asked Erik if he would like some of her pear.  She of course thought he would since the kid likes fruit more than he does candy, or chocolate, or cake, or well, most everything.  Anyway, he said no.  He didn’t like pears.  He of course has never had them.  Typical kid.  Well, when we are the store not that long ago, he decided he liked pears and wanted to buy some.  Again, he had never tried them, but, whatever.  So, he tried them, and guess what?!  He likes them.  Surprised?  Yea, us either.

I had to take pictures for physical evidence, of course.

Alright, I have to go read my Bible.  I finished reading the book I bought on my nook before vacation.  It was called Pillars of the Earth. Very good.  I highly recommend it.
