Still Here

I believe they call all of this nonsense "Life."  And it's been crazy.

If things truly come in "threes" then I should be all caught up and ready to perk up.

First I lose Shannon.  Major suckage.  That's gonna take a while to get over.  But each day is a little better.  Don't get me wrong.  I miss her like CRAZY!  I also know that she would want me to move on with my life.  So - - I'm doing that.  One day at a time.

Then Justin broke his wrist.  He's been casted, no surgery.  It is his right hand and he is right-handed.  He's adapting to writing.  But you know what he doesn't do well with his left hand?  Wipe.  I know, gross.  Sorry.  So guess who's back in the hiney-wiping business?  That would be me.  Fun!  (written once again in my non-existent sarcasm font)  He's not hurting that much anymore, so I think we are good to go.  Just a total pain not getting it wet.  Did I mention I'm having to bathe him, too?

To top it all off, I went to bed Monday night feeling like total dookie.  I'd been hurting in my lower back and then I was terribly nauseated.  For me - classic onset of a kidney stone moving.  Terrific!  (again with the font)  I was in incredible pain ALL day yesterday.  It's getting so much better.  Still hurting in my back, but not nearly as bad.  I don't know if I passed that little sucker or not.  My last sonogram said that the one left in my kidney was a very small one.  I hope it's gone.

And here we are today.  First day of fall.  I wake up to a gentle rain.  Woo hoo!  The only thing that would make today more perfect is if I didn't have to get out in it.  But alas, a school thingy beckons.

Time to hit the shower.
