Fun,fun, fun

It has been a little while since I have been near a computer, but I was busy. I swear. I have been working, baby is still cranky and unhappy. I had to go to Buffalo to visit Grandma and be mad at nurses. I have not been doing as good as I would like to. Well it could be worse I guess.

So we borrowed my In-laws van So Mom, two of my sisters, my neice, Emily and I could go to Buffalo to see Grandma. She is kind of loopy, but not really bad for an 81 year old that is pulled out of their normal environment and put in an area with nothing to do and no one to talk to. My Mom and my Uncle are taking turns going to Buffalo to see her. It is a 1 hr drive for Mom and about a 2 hr drive for my uncle. So life is a little more hectic. She is having surgery on tuesday on the disks in her neck. It looks like they have deteriorated and are pinching her nerves making her have stroke like symptoms. They are going to clean them off and separate them with cadaver bones. That is kind of cool. Then you think of all the movies where someone has part of someone else implanted and they try to kill people and it is kind of creepy. Just kidding. Sometimes thoughts just pop into your head.

My Sister-in law picked my up from work today. Then we had to go to Walmart to take her sister cigarettes at work. We had the baby so we didn't have to head right home. We picked up a couple of things. They we went out to the car which insisted that not starting would be fun. We disagreed but it won. I hate cars sometimes. So we sat around with crabby baby tim my Mother in-law came and got us and we went home. At least baby went right to bed.

I have no feeling in my middle left toe. This is the norm most of the time but it is still kind of creepy. Have you noticed the word for today is creepy. I like creepy. Well, I am going to go do creepy things elsewhere. Later.

The joys of teething

So on top of everything else I have a cold or virus or something else that sucks. Even better the baby has a runny nose and is very cranky. She went to the Dr today to make sure it wasn't an ear infection. Nope. Of course not. She is getting 4 teeth at once and will be miserable and keep me up all night for 3 or 4 more days. I am so thrilled. Oh well at least she isn't truly sick. But I hate to see her so miserable and unhappy. I get to got to work at 08:30 tomorrow morning and her Dad gets he til he come into work. He is thrilled. Well I am going to go eat and do stuff.

Ah fall

Ah, Rochester. Yesterday it was in the mid 70s today high mid 50s to 61 degrees. Gotta love it. Actually, this is my favorite season and my favorite weather. Cool but not to cold. The leaves are starting to change, the air smells brisk and like fall. People are starting to use their fireplaces. It is great.
I got home from work tonight and found out that my Grandmother on my Mom's side is in a hospital in Buffalo. She has been having stroke like symptoms, but there is no sign of stroke on her brain. They did find a herniated disk in her neck. The Dr thinks that the disk is causing the storke like symptoms. They are doing MRI's tomorrow. They may have to do surgery. That type of surgery is rough on an young healthy person. It could be real rough on a 81yr old woman. So all we can do is pray and hope for the best.
Work was incredibly frusturating today. I was left a pile of papers to put together and file. It turns out that instead of the usual where they are all together and in order, they seem to have been dropped or taken off the printer out of order. It was like an obnoxious puzzle. Then parts of 2 accounts were missing. Then one of the books the filing goes in were missing. Man was I cranky. Oh well i'm gonna go do laundry and eat something.

Tuesday

It is Tuesday. I am saying this for myself as much as anyone else. Maybe I will remeber it if I declare it to the world. Everyone is sleeping but me. The computer is mean and hates me. First it pitched my first post off to where ever lost blog posts go. Then it decide it couldn't find internet explorer. I was waiting for it to declare itself a duck, quack and lay an egg. I have adopted a blue pig from that website you can adopt cyber pets from. His name is Twizzler. You can make him get really muddy and then wash him off. I keep trying to leave him dirty because it would be funny. But the I feel bad, wash him and give him an apple. I think it is the whole mommy instinct thing. Oh well I might be able to do it some time at least for a couple of hours. Well I am gonna go do something, I might be back since it is early. Must go was a little blue pig. Later

No difference

So I don't feel any different today than I did yesterday. I don't understand the big deal about birthdays. Yeah you are a year older, but is there really a difference between yesterday and today? Oh well. Work was bad. I felt crappy. Steve was sick and went home. I didn't even really wake up til about now. All this combining sleep medication and pain medication to "make me fell better" and help me sleep is killing me. I am sleeping a little more than before. That 4 or 5 hours of sleep does make a bit of a defference. But the whole Dr. saying here take more drugs thing makes me feel all creepy. I don't like not knowing what's going on. The baby is sleeping I think. I don't like relying on others to take care of her in the night while I sleep, but I guess it is better than having to rely on them during the day as well. I was wrong. She wasn't sleeping. She is now nestled against my shoulder. I think she just missed me. I was at work all day. It is nice to be needed. Well, I should see if I can get her back to bed. Later folks

Twice in one day

Second time I have been on today. No nothing is really wrong. I just haven't been able to do to much, so I have had the time. We went out to dinner for the birthday thing. that was nice. We had a great waitress who played with the baby and didn't neglect us as well. The food was good. The wild wooly baby creature is in bed (hooray). I am so sore and tired I hope she stays down for the night. Babies are such filthy little things you could give them 10 baths a day and no one would realize it. I gave her a bath around 17:30 and by the time she went to bed around 20:30 she was gray and grungy. Oh well, she still smelled clean. I can't wait till I can set up to put my pictures from my phone onto the blog. That will be so cool. I am gonna go do other things now because my brain is melting. I will be back in the next couple days. So long.

Wow! I'm back so soon

It's me again. I am not doing as good as I wish but it could be worse. Today is my birthday. I feel a lot older than my years. Everyone says I am so young, but tell that to my old bones. I went to my parents house for dinner yesterday. That was nice, my mom made me a chocolate cake from scratch and my favorite bbq chicken. Things were pretty calm and it was nice. Anthony was with his mom for most of the time so it was quiet but everybody missed him. He showed back up about 20 minutes before we left, boy was he happy to be back and see everyone. My Dad got me a great pair of earings with neat red-orange stones and mom gave me some scrapbooking stuff. I was able to upgrade my cell phone to one that actually works all the time and as a bonus has a camera feature. So when I figure out the what kind of package I have and need I will probably be putting pictures up as well. I woke up late today (aroung 08:30) and couldn't get out of bed til about 09:00, took baby downstairs fed her and was ready for a nap. Taking this weekend off was a good idea. I have to work 8 hors tomorrow. I can handle it I will just be tire, but I have tuesday off so I can rest. The rest of the week I am working my regular hours. Well baby is napping so I am gonna go veg for a while and maybe talk to some adults. I just popped in to say hi. So hi. Later folks

Oh my gosh, its alive

To all of you who don't know who I am and all of you who do I really am alive. I have just been really busy and sick and distracted. But here I am to say it is me and I live, before I vanish for 4 or 5 months again. Well lets see let me recap the last several months. how can I sum them up other than saying they totally "Blew Goats of a large variety and color." In June the computer was down more often than up and I had no time when it was playing nice. My dad got jumped July 1st and almost died July 8th, but thanks to good people and a removed spleen he is much better and can hopefully return to work soon. So July was pretty much a wash because I was helping out my Mom and making sure Dad didn't overdue it to much (haha). August was ok just more helping family people out and then I got a little sick. The problem with being sick in a minor way and having MS is the Dr usually says "this could just get better or it could cause a real relapse. Big suprise 2 weeks ago half my body goes numb and I start getting weaker and weaker. I finally get to the Dr last friday because of the whole holiday week thing and they were going to set up home infusion therapy. They were supposed to call me later that day. This was a good thing, I was off most of the weekend and it turns out monday and tuesday. I didn't hear from them til tuesday night. The nurse came out for the first time wednesday morning. Was supposed to come back thursday and friday afternoon. Well after 4 blown veins and no available good ones the Dr.s office called in non IV medication. I look like a human pincushoin and I still feel kinda lousy. But I am off for the weekend and can rest up and spend time with my baby who has turned a year old since the last time I typed at you guys, she is almost walking and running me and everyone else ragged. Well sorry for complaining at the few of me who check my blog out. I will try to get back here before 4 or 5 more months pass. Later. Super tired, worn out mom is off to the kitchen to scavenge for dinner.
