It may be that many things I talk about now started during my 5 month hiatus (life was just too busy to blog) and so I apologize up front if I leave people in the dark. Feel free to let me know you need background info if I seem obscure.
Today I had my plaquinel toxicity screening at the opthlamologist. Since being dx'ed with rheumatoid arthritis (in like Jan?) I was put on this drug. Yes, this is the malaria drug that causes hallucinogenic dreams...and it does and it's cool, they are soooo weird and totally off-the-wall. Anyway, where was I? Yes, I have to be screened carefully for this toxicity that causes blindness. It's rare, but I have no desire to take chances with my eyesight, you know? Anyway, so I did that today, and we also had a training session with Darby's VOD & the sales rep for the company. That was 2 hours of intense q&a.
Today was supposed to be my first laser hair removal appt in recognition of hitting a major weight loss goal. Unfortunately, having my bikini area waxed 4 weeks ago means the hair hasn't quite grown in enough for the laser to effectively permanently remove it, so I'm pushed out AGAIN for another 2 weeks! ARGH! I still have 7-8 more pounds to lose to hit my final goal, but the weight I'm at (well, 3 pounds ago) was what I told myself I'd be deliriously happy with if I ever made it there.
A tummy tuck was in my mind for the big celebration-gift-to-self, but the recovery period is horrible and no lifting for 8 weeks is impossible with the kids. I still have to haul off and cart them away if they act up somewhere and they are all well over 40#.
What else...hmmm??? Did I mention Bruno had Lasik a month ago? One eye only, ~$2k, and he's now 20/20 and very happy.
Oh, and our house is up for sale because we want a bigger one (I'd be happy with a cleaner one, but whatever).
That's today's mini-update. The boy's last regular day of T-ball is tonight too, so I'll try to get some pictures to post. Cory is a natural, as he is with most/all sports. James is doing INCREDIBLY well, considering his eyesight/depth perception issues and the language barrier. (who uses words like home in reference to a bag in the dirt in typical speech?) He gets a little lost when running the bases .... oh, I have to tell this story:
Last week, he's playing a mini-game. Everyone hits, everyone runs, everyone scores kind of thing, right? James is on first base. The coach says "run to second!" when the next batter hits. James has no clue what "second" is, so he just starts running. I watch him pass the outfield, and start yelling to the coach "Yo! James is running and not stopping!" The coach is a little busy coaxing the hitter to first base, so ignores me for a while, but I am insistent. By the time I really get the coach's attention, James is like 4 fields away running through the outfield and showing no signs of stopping. Think "Run, Forest, Run!" and you'll get the idea.
Needless to say before he left the county, the coach had the other coaches catch him and stop him and turn him around.
Would a good mother find humor in this and post about it on her blog?
Hmmm, there's another chin-scratcher, huh?
