you don’t know what you have until it’s gone.<\/p>\n
lori left yesterday.\u00a0 she’d been scurrying around for weeks to keep up with dishes, laundry, errands, doggies, pills, tears, and anything else you can think of.\u00a0 we sent her home so she could be back in time for chris’ birthday and a trip to london to spend some time with her girl friends.\u00a0 however, just when she left my body seemed to get overwhelmed and worn down.\u00a0 i’ve come down with some stomach upset and a possible ear infection and we slept right through two sets of husband’s meds this morning after the power went out last night and killed our alarm clock regimen.<\/p>\n
i should be strong enough to handle all of this on my own.\u00a0 i really should be.\u00a0 maybe its the lack of rest (although we slept about 14 hours last night), just the reality of dealing with it all, or the feeling of being alone when you know you should be strong.\u00a0 i just wish i could do more to comfort will and make his pain lessen, but i can’t.\u00a0 the frustration of that compounded with my own issues are making my glasses get speckled with salty tears.<\/p>\n
he is sleeping now.\u00a0 thankfully the new arsenal of medications\u00a0compiled with arnica overload has him pretty good, so long as we stay on top of things.\u00a0 there’s just lots of sleeping and resting to be done.\u00a0 if i felt better i’d head to whole foods and load our house up with some wholesome food for the week, and stock up on some new arnica pills – but its a jaunt down capital and i don’t want to leave him alone for such a long stretch.\u00a0 we need a delivery service in wake forest.\u00a0 that could make things so much easier.\u00a0 oh well, what can you do?<\/p>\n
mom and dad surprised us with a 20 hour visit and were kind enough to take lori back to the airport for us.\u00a0 when we got back from the er on friday night they rang the doorbell with will’s favorite dinner of manicotti and ceasar salads for everyone.\u00a0 luckily will felt well enough for a little while to sit up and enjoy his dinner before heading back to bed for more quiet\/dark time to sleep his headaches off.\u00a0 the rest of us played scrabble (or tried to anyways – appears that some of us like to bend the rules too much) to keep our minds off things.\u00a0 after scrabble we headed to bed.\u00a0 saturday morning we got up in a scramble and will said he was well enough to go have some breakfast so we all got some waffles before lori, mom, and dad all had to scramble back out of town.\u00a0 like the wind – they were gone.<\/p>\n
will and i rested for the rest of the day until 7pm we decided we’d grab some hamburgers and eat them on a swing in a local park.\u00a0 we got about half way through our burgers when i got an immediate onset version of the roto virus and we had to scamper back home as quickly as possible (luckily this was temporary and seems to be gone today).\u00a0 we called it a night and slept right through the power outages of the night and have been lumps of coal again today.\u00a0 i’m hoping we can shake this funk.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
