Ok, as promised, not much else to talk about regarding the misses on going pain. Let’s switch gears a bit, you’re not going to believe this, are you ready, wait for it, here it comes, I have freakin shingles! I finally made it to the doctor yesterday for a painful rash on the trunk of one side of my body only to be informed that I have freakin shingles! Now I’ve heard about them but didn’t really know what they were. Well let me tell you, they’re itchy, painful sores that feel like a huge mosquito bites on steroids. The doctor asked me if I was under any special stress, financial, home life, work related or if anything is bothering me (wait he just saw me and the misses last week for her headaches!), to which I replied, nah, nothing special. Now this is pretty much true as I’m so used to it, it’s nothing out of the ordinary. Regardless I was told that they’re probably from stress and lack of sleep but I have a hard time believing any doctor these days as the misses and I concluded that they all pretty much just guess at things.
It’s now a bit after 4, what’s new, and the misses has been up all night too. Hopefully she’s getting some sleep now as she sure needs it. We’re thinking of just loading up the kids, the dogs and whatever else we can carry, and hitting the road and driving to Hawaii. (just kidding, don’t any of you freak out, it’s a sort of metaphor plus for those of you who are geographically challenged, you can’t drive to Hawaii!) Hawaii would be nice though, and probably help. I think I’ll check my frequent flyer miles.
Now to the kiddo’s. Yesterday the oldest one had his CSAP tests which are some government tests that determine how much money the school district gets. I guess the better the school does, the more funding they get. Personally I think the worse the school does, the more money they should get, right? Anyhow, the oldest one finished about an hour before most of his class even though we gave him strict instructions to take his time. It seems that while he excels in school (both boys report cards came home the other day with both of them at the top of their class) he sometimes goes too fast through his work and should slow down a bit and take his time. The only mistakes he ever makes are just silly ones resulting from not reading the question thoroughly, so we’re told. Oh well, things could be worse, there are lots of kids in both boys classes that can’t complete even the most basic of tasks.
Right after school the youngest had his final dress rehearsal for his d.i. presentation coming up this Saturday. Right after that, it was straight off to soccer practice until 5:15 and then home. By this time, the misses head was pounding and I wasn’t doing much better so we went to a local burger joint to get the boys some dinner. A gyro and corn dog later we were headed home. Mom headed down to give that little dog the evening shot while I got the boys ready for bed. We think L.O.L. and the freaking dog might be part of the root of her headache also! Let me tell you, it’s getting real old (giving a shot morning and night) and I’m not even the one who has to do it! The misses made a commitment though, so she’s all in. I told her she ought to be getting paid $500 a week or so. Imagine every single day and night having to go down and give a little biting poodle a shot and, even though we love her, put up with the quirks of a 90 year old lady. She’s sweet and means well but always calls at the most inopportune time, like the middle of the night. We with 2 boys of our own and the misses head have enough challenges, or things going on, especially at breakfast and dinner time each day. Oh well, I’m sure there’s a special place in heaven for her, she’s a better person than I and probably as good or better than most of you that are reading this. I told her it could be worse, she could have freakin shingles!
It was 70 degrees yesterday and supposed to be cold and snowy today but looks pretty nice outside right now. That’s another profession where you can just guess, weatherman. How about that one, I mean how often are they right, 50% of the time, hmmm. It’s now 5:05am and I’m headed to the gym, I’m addicted to exercise, I kind of freak out if I don’t go for a few days thinking my muscles are shrinking (which they do!) if you don’t continuously use them. You’ve heard it, use it or lose it! Trust me, it’s true, especially the older you get. Oh well, I’m sure you all know this, so time to go. If you’re having a bad day or feeling down, think of us! It could be worse. (I’m laughing as I’m writing this, we’re now to the comical stage so don’t worry)
Take care and God Bless!
