Yesterday my leg was really sore. The sorest it has been this time around. Well, I woke up this morning and the clot is healing and moving. It moved down to my ankle yesterday so that is where the pain was coming from. All that movement as it breaks down. I'm sorry it hurts, but glad it's healing!

With the previous one, I went back to the doctor when that started. That one moved down, around and up.
This time I was prepared for the movement, even if it hurts. Helps that I know it means it's healing and not getting worse.

I hope you're feeling better soon, TheOtherMe. That really doesn't sound like any fun at all. I finally found some New Guinea Impatiens at a garden center. For some reason, they're difficult to find this year, so I'm a happy camper, even though they didn't have my very favorite color, at least I've got something.

Well I fell again in the yard and now have a beautiful matching bruise on my other leg. Tripped over the same pipe again. I talked with DD yesterday about whether DSIL could fix the leak and get the sprinkler system running, she was going to talk with him. I suspect it will get done since I have fallen twice. I also sent her a picture of the bruise that runs from my knee until about 2" above my ankle.
Work is crazy. I found an issue but am only peripherally allowed to work on it, since it concerns my data. Apparently it is less of a HIPAA violation to have other people in the department looking at your data than allowing you to logon and view your own data via means other than the officially approved portals etc. Thankfully it only involves a couple of pharmacy claims.

Hope you get that pipe fixed so you don't fall again. That's a huge bruise.

Good Afternoon Kids! Sharon, that sounds really painful. Hope DSIL can come up with a solution. Otherwise, can you mark the area with those little lawn flags, or something? We're having a rainy day here. Lola just pooped in the kitchen. I don't know why, but both of my dogs refuse to poop outside when it's been raining. Swell!

My DD2's new puppies both hate going out in the rain, to poop. Especially the 4 mo old. No matter how close you watch him, he finds a way/place to poop in the house, if it's raining (snowing too, I think). Ugh.

Rough night sleeping here. I was still awake at 5:30 AM. Sometime after that I did fall asleep and woke up at 10 AM. I am exhausted and will probably sleep enough to screw up tonight's sleep, to.
We lost my mom 9 years ago today. Everything in my emotional life has been building to a crescendo. I hope we are now on the calming down side.
I miss mom, her love and advice.

I hope you get a new fridge, under your home appliance plan! And you find one that you like, in stock, with no waiting!

Peeps! Hello, how are you? Hugs and love and good things to all in need, especially Sharon and TheOtherMe, and a pooper scooper to busymom. Got the front lawn mowed (some before and some after dinner, thanks to a battery that needed recharging). No huge plans or races this weekend, but the final two are coming up next week.

It's amazing how quickly the little ones can bring on an ear infection. I was watching both DGS's yesterday afternoon. The boys had a popsicle and DGS2 was his usual silly self. Of all the kids he is the silliest and just really a happy go lucky little guy. I put him down for a little nap and just over an hour later he is crying inconsolably, flipping his head from side to side and pulling on his ear. When DD got back she tried to get into urgent care but they had stopped accepting patients for the day. I suspect there will be a pediatrician visit this morning. We were 96 degrees yesterday and expected to be 98 today before a cool down tomorrow. I'm supposed to have at least DGS2 this afternoon while they attend a wedding. I might also have DGS1. We shall see who shows up.

Good Morning Kids! It is sunny & cool this morning. I've already put together the planter that sits on my front porch. It has New Guinea Impatiens & Dusty Miller. I'm sorry about the anniversary on the loss of your Mom, TheOtherMe. That's a difficult day. I was very close to my Mom too. Sharon, when raising my kids I was always amazed how quickly they could get sick. I hope your Grands all feel better soon!

I got to spend the day with my grands yesterday. We had such a good time. They painted bird houses and ate brownies. DGD2 woke up an hour into her nap and only wanted her mom. Let the screaming begin. I decided to try singing to her, after nothing else worked. I used to sing to her and her sister, when they were babies and they quieted right down. It worked, as long as I kept singing. I sang every song I could think of, including Christmas songs. Eventually she laid back down and went back to sleep. Whew! DGD1 and her parents went to her new school (elementary) and met the kindergarten teachers and did some testing, for class placement. She's really nervous, I think. But excited too. It was a good day.

toomuchreality I'm glad you had fun with the DGD's. I've been known to sing "This Old Man" over and over, basically counting to ten via song. I guess DGS2 is fine this morning. When they got home last night he put himself to bed and slept all night. DD said she kept expecting him to wake up crying but he didn't.

I am the sickie today. For whatever reason, I have stomach problems with the blood clots.
When I babysat my great niece, if she wouldn't let herself fall asleep, I'd put her in the car. All it took was driving around the block. I'd carry her back in and put her in bed. Then she got so big that I couldn't carry her.

Do the stomach problems generally last the whole time, until the clot clears up?

I ended up just having DGS2 stay with me yesterday evening. It was really tough duty, the little guy fell asleep on the couch and took a two hour nap.

Good Afternoon Kids! Yum, NancysSummerSip! The weather here is sunny & practically perfect in the mid-70's right now. I wish I could go out to enjoy it, but we've got more smoke from Canada heading our way, so I'll try to be content looking out the window while doing some tasks around the house. Hope you're feeling better today, TheOtherMe. Are you checking in with your doctor to be sure this is part of the normal healing process?

It happened last time, so I think it's just the healing process. Going to try a bit of food when I feed the cats.
The bruises are still moving and I know that is what it has to do to heal.

DSIL fixed my sprinkler system yesterday, so hopefully no more falling in the yard. I really enjoyed watching it run through the various cycles this morning and water the whole yard.

I am still alive and starting to feel much better though allergies are really a doozy right now.
Time for tea and some laundry. I need to make the grocery store today or tomorrow - probably tomorrow. I just don't feel up to having to get out of comfy clothes.
Everyone take care.

Good Afternoon Kids! There are some screaming good deals at the grocery store this week, to get ready for Memorial Weekend. (I checked online before going out, and surprisingly one grocery chain has the best deals on everything I can get ahead of time.) So, I've already been to the store & back. My freezer is getting full again. Wish we still had the big freezer in the basement (we got rid of it before the move), but I'm not willing to buy a new one until we finally finish our basement. Hope everyone is feeling better today. Even if it IS a Monday.

I'm feeling the same sickness as yesterday. I hate Gatorade but I finally opened a bottle. It actually tastes good, so I must need it.

Good Morning Kids! The temps & sunshine are beautiful today, but unfortunately the air quality here is poor. I need to stay indoors & clean anyway, as DH has invited an old friend over for Memorial Weekend. He's a good guy, single, and we haven't seen much of him in awhile, so it should be a fun visit. However, the dogs are shedding like crazy. I have my work cut out for me.

However, the dogs are shedding like crazy. I have my work cut out for me. I wore navy blue pants to DD2s last Friday. After sitting on the floor with DGD2 for a bit, I looked down at my pants. They had a ton of dog hair on them. Yuck! Mostly it was on the knees, because I had crawled over to the place where I was sitting. But still, YUCK! Short light colored dog hair. Not my idea of a good look.
