Our shrinking fence
December 3rd 2013
February 21st, 2014... all gone
March 7th 2014 it is peaking out
Well, just as my headache was letting up yesterday evening, then my hips (both) started hurting something fierce!!! There was no way I could fall asleep with the pain as bad as it was... odd, i can sleep when i have a migraine but not with other pain... strange but true. so i had to take some extra pain meds.
This morning, they are still terrible, sitting is next to impossible. My neck is also knotted up so I am needing the ice packs. Also, last night, i thought, i would only need to have my wrist wrapped one more night... Nope, this morning it hurts more than ever. Maybe it is the dampness. It sure could be, muscle and joint inflammation?
Yesterday, Steph and EO went in service and went up to see Carol. She had just taken some pain meds so she was sleeping most of the time they were there. As for service, it went well. they placed some mags and EO was just so thrilled he was actually able to read a scripture to a guy and have a real good conversation. Those are precious moments in our territory. Our territory can be rough, but there are still people out there looking for the truth.
So awhile ago, Lauren received a catalog from Roamans, and they are plus size clothes, many of them I really like. Seeing how i can't seem to loose weight, I am in need. Plus many of the tank tops I wear every day are starting to get holes in them. So I talked to EO about it, and we agreed on a budget, and I was able to order some items. At first my first choices the total was about $400... yeah, that wasn't my budget at all. So, I started to work on it, looking for stuff on sale, using discounts I could find, switching for non sale items to sale or clearance items and I actually came in under budget. I showed EO what I came up with and he liked the outfits I arranged, and that I was being thrifty about my choices. I am however a little nervous, as I don't know how the brands fit. I read reviews and most of what I ordered said true fit. only one item was reviewed a bit small, so I just ordered it in a bigger size. So I really hope everything fits. Also, most of what I ordered, I should be able to take in a bit if they are too big or too long. But, we will see.
We haven't picked a date yet for Lauren's going away luncheon. I did find out though, that even though it would include my mom... my mom most likely won't be there. But we are kind of thinking to have it on the 30th. I hope that would work. We really need to get something figure out. Maybe I will send out an email, to give everyone a "heads up". I think I will talk to EO & Lauren about that today.
So yesterday for work, Lauren was getting training on using their registers and also what to do for various issues... like spills, accidents and what not. She is learning a lot. Steph is learning a lot at her job. Starting Monday, she won't have a baker to shadow. Although her manager I think will be helping her out. Colton.... well, when he first started he was learning a lot, but now, he has a number of months under his belt. Although from time to time, things happen and he learns new things.
I am going to have to listen to music more often. I have such a hard time sleeping when I do though. Like that day I watched several musicals... augh! composed all night in my dreams.. that makes me crazy because i don't sleep deep enough then and wake up so sick and exhausted. I can't handle watching music videos at all, those are worse for me. But, when Lauren moves, Colton will move into her room and EO says we can put the treadmill and elliptical in the living room again. Now, when I was working out on them before when they were in the living room, I would look for intense movies to watch... not super scary, just ones that make you ency so that you want to walk faster and it keeps you distracted enough that you forget about the time. I think that is the hardest thing about using a treadmill, is you get so bored that you just sit there staring at the clock, wishing to be done. But I never had an Ipod or anything like that. but I do have music on my phone. A lot of what I have on it, I like to dance to... even the dancing while sitting in a chair kind of music.. but at least that is moving. I just need to have cut of time, like, 2pm.. and then i have to work to deprogram my brain from music so that I can sleep at night. I don't know if it would even work. it is possible it could build up in me too, and mess with my head. Well, it is worth trying.
