today the stress and my health hit me in the gut...
literally. Belly was done handling the load and decided to let me know how I'm really feeling... yeah... icky, nasty, not good.

Aunty Flow disrupted my Valentine's weekend... she's one mean little bitch, isn't she? makes me see red

bad joke, yeah, I know...

I've been cramping and dealing with the cycle from hell and then get hit with the stomach flu on top of that... I stayed home... no way could I go to work like this.... doubling over in desperation to find something to yeahhhhh into.

I stayed home and got worn out with the fight going on in my abdomen... crawled back into bed and slept until after noon... felt better, but still had issues, just nothing like the morning. My poor kid hadn't even realized I was home until I walked past her open bedroom doorway... stopped and waved.


Good news... her dad won't be there in the waiting room with me...

better news... this week we got a scare, with a call from the hospital saying the surgery was scheduled for today.. This Wednesday... The doctor doesn't DO surgeries on any day but Thursdays. Got that all cleared up yesterday morning (Tuesday)

Valentine's weekend was also when my dryer decided to commit suicide. My boyfriend stopped by tonight to check it out and confirmed it'd cost almost as much as a new machine to repair it... No bueno... I bought a used one ASAp he helped get it and set it up. We've got a new old dryer to last us a while now.

And surgery for my daughter next Thursday.. a four day weekend and time with family and friends... my boyfriend and his children... one will stay overnight with us... and I'm so grateful because she needs "her big sister." having this man become so close has reunited us with children we have loved for over a decade... children my daughter and I have felt a bond with... and so this is unique and dear to me.... I had no clue that I'd date their daddy and enjoy him as much as I do... he's becoming an important part of my life. Who would have known?
