SCA Happenings in the last few weeks....

Since all of social media is moving to FB, which I detest, I've been sending out missives to our emails lists to keep those of us in the minority who are not on FB up to date on what we as crown have been doing:

Busy couple of weeks

As you can read from the previous post life has been busy. Now add to that all of the modern things and life has not had near enough spoons. This will be in no particular order.

Benton has been teething, getting his last molars and that has made him cranky, grumpy and not your normal happy guy. Daycare has been a trial and his behavior has been atrocious and not all of it can be explained by "he's just 2" and "he's teething." Part of it I think is he's too smart for his own good and he's bored with daycare at times. There are also too many kids, I think, in his class and he's getting over stimulated or just bugged too much and not able to relax and do his own thing for a bit. He is very much his mother and father's child in the need for his own time. So, hopefully we can work through things and get things settled to a better time without having to restrict his toys and activities for bad behavior.

Mel has been uber busy for work and he was in Clovis, NM for an entire week this last week. Additionally, when we were in Prescott he was sick with the flu and miserable. le sigh. Lots to do for him and he's now handling 2 programs worth of work with not enough time for even one.

For me its been trying to get our product into production and things have been roadblocked on many cases. Its hard and not very rewarding (though i did get a dinner cert) just due to the shear amount of bureaucratic tape. Oh, well, lots of extra work and hours and we are starting to see the light but its by determination alone that we are succeeding.

Along with being a single mom last week where we average 2 incident reports at daycare per day I've been feeling crappy. I have not been able to make it to the gym due to the not having Mel home and my joints are all inflamed. My left knee is really swollen and my left ankle is pretty numb in the middle. I know part of this is allergies and not eating the best but part of it is not enough sleep.

This week I have lots of medical stuff: dentist, mammogram baseline (yup, I'm old enough now, yipes) etc. I'm hoping to get back on track with the gym or at least do home gym stuff this week to get back on track. I should also get to see Glenn to see if something skeletal is happening which isn't helping matters. The ankle being numb is concerning.
