Tomorrow I am going to have latex allergy testing done. The appointment is 2 hours away and I am going with my dad. Yay! As for the latex allergy, it appears I have developed one. My new employer is sending me to have testing. I am not really sure why. I think heart palpitations, numb lips and my throat closing up should be evidence enough but whatever...
My son is in a play this weekend. He is playing the Wiz! He is very talented. This is his 10th major play he is been in. His other big part was playing Jafar in Aladdin.
I just spent almost $400.00 for a new Highland jacket for my daughter. Seriously? $400.00? My mom and dad used to help pay for all the extra curricular activities for my kids but now all my dad has is his pension so I will have to pay for everything now. Do you think my kids dad will help? Hahahahahahahahhahahahaha! Let's just say my new job came at the perfect time. If I had not got this job my kids would have not been able to continue. My daughter is 14 and has been dancing since she was 6. It would have broken her heart. I am so glad that I can do this for them.
OK, I am cold, as usual. I live in Canada. It is supposed to be cold. I need to turn up the heat in the old igloo. Night all. I love you. Thank you for loving me. xo
You sound a bit more positive (although you're still tired, I think)
ReplyDeleteWell done for going to the doctor and congratulations on finding a good one. I wish mine understood. When I told him I was having reflexology twice a month he seemed to think I was wasting my money and his time.
Keep taking care of yourself. We're all still here for you.
The idea of blood tests for grief appeals to me, but I doubt you intend the comment to amuse. This all sounds like it's tough for you, but at least your kids help keep your spirits up and your dad.
ReplyDeleteEven an igloo can keep you warm.
Glad to see that you are feeling a little better and that you are looking forward to your son's play. Enjoy these moments with your kids. You should be proud that you are able to do nice things for them.
ReplyDeleteI know that sometimes you feel as if you are drowning and at best, treading water, but from here, it looks as if you are doing SO much and growing and taking care of what needs to be taken care of.
ReplyDeleteI promise you. You are.
I love the fact that kids can help us to move forward too. They distract us...
ReplyDeleteYour work should be latex free anyway. Try nitrile gloves. As for the dead beat dad of your children, take him to court. Just saying:)
ReplyDeleteI hope the new meds will help. We are complicated beings and sometimes it takes awhile to find the right things in the right combinations to bring us back to balance. It's terrific that your doc is supportive of Reiki and practices it himself. I'll send to you again this weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteMy son developed a sensitivity to latex after having alot of medical visits and procedures when very young. He and I are also that way with peanut butter, ate it for years and then tests revealed some allergy issues.
It's awesome that your kids are involved with the performing arts and that you can support them. Enjoy the play!
Have a good weekend.
I hope new meds are good...Reiki, I do not know anything about it...that is an expensive jacket but what can one do?
ReplyDeleteigloo is funny
Good for you on all counts!
ReplyDeleteAs for a blood test for grief, I know I read somewhere about broken hearts -- both physical and emotional and that there is some correlation. I will try to find it --
Canada Brrrrrr. It's 46 in Florida ans I have my heat cranked up and am not venturing outside. There. I though you'd need a good laugh for today!
ReplyDeleteThere is still so much of the black dog coming through your posts, it breaks my heart. I really hope the new pills will helps. Perhaps you have grieved yourself into a physical decline too.
ReplyDeleteYou really must start looking towards the future. Your poor kids, they've not only lost their grandma, now they are losing their mum. You have much to live for.
Gosh uniforms cost so much don't they? With 5 kids, I really struggle here too :(
