G'day, family.
Sharon/LDM, what's fining? And the rest of your day sure looks busy. I hope it all comes together for you.
Sharon/WO, go easy on the health club whole you have a cold. It's amazing how much it can knock you around.
Linda, I hope the therapy session goes OK for kt. And I hope the GP can get onto the cardiologist for you. I love it when GPs go to bat for you - they know when to put the pressure on and they know when to reassure you. It makes it easier to relax and leave it in their hands, when you know you've got a good doctor in your corner.
I've had a busy day. mother in law wanted to come with me this morning but had her weekly cleaner just back from 2 weeks' holiday (I get him on Thursday). So difficult child 3 came with me to the radiology place. mother in law caught the boat from the village once her cleaner was finished.
I half-expected him to want to come in to watch, but he thought it was just another ultrasound so he stayed outside. Good. It was an ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy of the thyroid. I've had it done twice before and I didn't like it much either time, I hate the feeling of having my throat pressed on until I can barely breathe.
But it wasn't too bad at all. The doctor stuck the needle in twice, the second one must have been next to a nerve because it hurt a lot more, but it only took a minute or two.
From there I had to get to my GP but we had more than enough time - not rushed. Then from there we had another hour to get to the mainland wharf to meet mother in law. We picked up the stock feed along the way and again found ourselves arriving with comfortable time to spare. So although it was a busy day, we kept fitting it all in comfortably. I like days like that.
mother in law wanted to check out a certain op-shop, I'm after some plant hangers so I let her lead me astray. No plant hangers, but a couple of dresses and a leather jacket later, we headed towards the city. There's a shop mother in law wanted to get to, to buy some supplies of dried fruit and nuts for her Christmas pudding and cakes. They also do bonboniere so I made some enquiries.
By this time girlfriend was in the area at her parents' place so I drove on there to meet her. I looked over her dress pattern, compared it to the previous one, calculated how much fabric she needs, talked about the variations possible, then left her to it.
We arrived at the mall for LUNCH and shopping at 4 pm! Again, we got it all done comfortably. difficult child 3 had a dental appointment at closing time, he's been complaining of a sore tooth for weeks but I couldn't see anything wrong. Turned out - it's a chipped tooth.
So after everything, it's been a day when a lot got done but I'm tired. difficult child 3 has been incredibly talkative, and more vague than usual, all day. We've been at home for days and days, the last time he was out of the house was with husband and they were doing some hard physical work, so I am now wondering if difficult child 3 is suddenly undermedicated again. Come to think of it, he's not been working as well with schoolwork in the couple of weeks before these holidays.
So tomorrow we have a schoolwork day (in the holidays) and I will observe him. Today even he noticed he was having trouble controlling himself. I feel a phone call to his pediatrician coming on...
difficult child 3 is dog-sitting for the next two days, beginning tomorrow evening. Otherwise - I'm hoping for a quiet day tomorrow, recovering from today!
Enjoy your Tuesday.
