The NIGH****CHMAN - Monday 1/11
Got my washing machine drained, but it appears the switch that controls the cold water going into the machine is stuck in the open position. Need to decide now between getting another washer (new or used - options are there), repairing, or just saying the heck with it and use the laundromat. We did not mind using the laundromat yesterday, as all the laundry for the week or so was done in under 2 hours.
Not much else going on in my world.
Pray for Jenn R. and Eric. Please.
Just so you know, you need to TAKE YOUR VITAMINS & SUPPLEMENTS and make sure you get your daily allotment of PROTEIN.
If you are new to the board, this link explains what the NIGHT WATCHMAN is (if you are interested). Otherwise, just read on, you will probably figure it out anyway.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
I'm so glad it was back to normal temperatures today. Not that I get outside very much, but it makes for a much more pleasant day for me.
Work is going well. It's hard getting through the day without any pain meds. I'm tired of not being 100%. Everything else is status quo.
Prayers for all who need them.

Jennifer, I'm surprised you are taking your hydrocodone as pills... Have you not tried it as a liquid??? Obviously it will help you much more because of absorption, but you will be loopier. LOL. It is not bad, especially if you have it flavored with watermelon. I don't taste that flavor, but it makes it bearable, and I don't even have to chase it with anything. Hope you feel better soon.
Delight thyself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4
Just sitting here in my recliner wide awake, listening to my dad snore. I absolutely cannot wait until Wednesday when I can hopefully get the cath and drain out. He won't leave me down here by myself until then. WAHHHH!!!!
Tomorrow we are going to try to go run a FEW errands. I can get out, but just have to go at a much slower pace and won't be able to do a lot of places. Dad got a good dose of my crazy day today. The school nurse called and Sarah needed Motrin, so he had to stop what he was doing so he could go take the pill to her, then at 4:30 had to pick up the two older girls, then by 5:15 had to leave to take Sarah to tennis practice! NUTS. He was like, "geez, I feel like I've been in the car since 2:00". I just smiled and WANTED to say, "welcome to my world"!!!
Hope your night at work is nice and quiet!
Yeah I'm late but still here...
Mom is doing GREAT... brother went home (he's been there with her for a week... what a way to spend a vacation huh lol... poor kid ROFL) He's a chef so he's been creating all these soups for her and freezing them so she's all set for her puree phase!
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!
