The weekend that was....
Aug. 15th, 2011 12:38 pmI've been trying to recover from last week and I've been failing miserably. I'm pretty sure that the week before with my headache/sinus issues were then annoyed by the business travel/time change and then getting home things were not restful at all. I'm not smart enough to go to bed earlier or when I do the boyo gets up early. I finally got to the end of my rope on Saturday night and asked mel to please watch the boy on sunday morning so I could go back to bed. I slept blissfully another 2 hours. Last night I endeavored to get to bed early and then just as I was moving towards bed Benton started screaming from him room.
Mel and I finally deduced that he had gas. He would scream until you patted him on the back so with the help of Storvarr we got Benton to take some gripe water and I walked around with him until he got back to sleep. Course the little guy was barely awake for this ordeal and I think the crying was bothering him as much as the tummy full of gas. He'd been a bit off all day and took a lot of naps and didn't eat a whole lot but that could be cause he got up early after going to bed late or something I ate that didn't agree with him...not sure but it was a bit scary to hear that kind of cry from him. Luckily we knew what it was but it still took us a bit. That had me keyed up for quite a while and then I finally got in the shower well after 10pm. Mel and Storvarr were playing borderlands and I was reading. I should have gone to bed when I put the boy back to bed but eh.
I think though that my sinus stuff is still lingering which is making me bouncing back from a 2 hour time change really hard. My ears are popping a bit and after glen fixed me up on friday night my head feels better but the draining is still going on. He adjusted everything and I was/am very sore. He said if things were still bothering me I should see him again this week. My left knee has swollen up and ached...dunno. We shall see. I think I'm just in that stage of weird and I need to get myself out of it. I'm also sure the eating like crap and drinking way to much beer last week didn't help either. Getting back to the gym and eating better this week is a must.
So over the weekend I didn't accomplish much. I unknit more than I knitted since I had two projects go south on me. I started my own hot water bottle cozy. But I did manage to bake some muffins, a wonderful bundt cake and workout my new pattern for my mintan (in theory). So, I hope I can get things cut out this week to be sewing over the weekend. I teach at Mace and Greatsword this Saturday. Sunday I think Tym is coming for some sewing help so that will get me motivated. Still waiting to hear if we are a go for fighting in crown...I really want to make a new hangerock but I will be simple I think since I don't have much time to embellish it. We shall see though. If I can get the new pattern worked out with the proper straps I might be able to bang a few out and embellish afterwards. Dunno, my creative bug is yelling at me but my body is tired...yup, need to perk up to get things done. Anyhoo. Off to slew some electronic paperwork.
