  At 9 our Polar Express train ride tickets go on sale, so I’m waiting for that madness to begin. 

  ExH has been visiting with the kids on Tuesdays but he hasn’t let me know about today yet. Otherwise just a lot of cleaning going on, and the pool after camp.

  Morning! I've got another busy week. We had fun at the pool last night but then the kiddos went to bed a bit late - oh well. They slept well and were up bright and early - i slept through the night for the first time in forever! We're taking them to an advance showing of the new smurfs movie after school today, should be fun. 
  
  I'm golfing with a supplier the next 2 days at a fancy pants course in Wisconsin (like US opens are hosted there fancy). I'm a decent golfer but a bit terrified, lol. I would also never pay play there on my own though so i'm trying to think about it as an experience rather than strictly a round of golf. 
  
  Probably another couple pool days this week and we're taking the boys to their first cubs game on Sunday I'm sure we wont' make it the whole game, but we were gifted the tickets so we're going to try! They love snacks and music, so i'm hoping we do ok. 
  
  @banana468 I'm so sorry to hear about your H, it's so frustrating to know something is so wrong and not be able to figure it out. My H has dealt with a bit of that over the years too and it's heartbreaking as the partner to not be able to DO anything. Sending hugs to you all.

  Thank you all so much!  It's so frustrating to look into things and also push for answers and feel like the doctors are working in baby steps.  In the meantime it just seems like so much of life is on hold and our kids are not young.  It feels like we are missing critical times with a high school student but not being able to do things and it just sucks.
  
  He is going to push for more bloodwork and investigation and we'll see.  The good part is that things are not showing issues off the charts but tell that to a person who lacks the energy and has a mental fog.  I wouldn't want him to power a boat or do things for a long period of time and our son keeps saying "I want to go to a Yankee game!"  I can take him solo but it's not the same and they all know it. 
  
  @ei34 I saw the videos of NYC last night!  It seems like you guys were unphased so that's a relief!
  
  Weird story that you might appreciate but years ago my friend told me that she knew a couple who had the oddest proposal story when she knew of a couple who got engaged on the steps of the West 4th Subway station.  And I don't know NYC that well but had been in and out of that station all the time and it was GROSS.  I can only imagine how disgusting and flooded it was last night.

  GL to the tests @banana468, I can understand the frustration of life standing still. And thanks for shedding light on NYC. I actually hadn’t heard anything about it but wowzas. 

  @ei34 hope the H remains true to his word
  @Casadena  I hope the kids have fun at the game! Watching bball live is different from TV so they may actually enjoy it. But then again I’m drinking, and socializing and stuff while I go to the games. Also, I don’t recommend giving them beer for the full bball experience. 
   

  I had comical (but costly) experience yesterday. I wanted to see what reiki was all about so I bought a groupon for it. When I went to book, I noticed they offered tarot readings. Cool. Cool. The reiki was ok. I have some knee problems and she said she helped that. If that’s true (it doesn’t hurt now - but it also doesn’t hurt every day either) I’d go back. If it’s false, I don’t see the need for reiki.
  but the tarot card reading! Ha! So comical. She used a rider waite deck.  I know a little about tarot thanks to @VarunaTT and the wirtual I started this year. She then proceeded to pulled out a piece of paper with the Celtic cross spread on it.  I thought she was using it to show me what I was getting. Nope she was using it for her to work off of. She had to pick it up to keep referencing what the meaning was. I have this all recorded (but I don’t think I’m counting it as a real reading). As she’s flipping the cards, she’s looking at them and telling me her story of the picture. But not going into depth and thinking outside the box on it. Most tarot card readers pull cards one after another and can tell you what’s going on with your life just by knowing what the card is. She was just describing the picture! “And this is the knight of 6 of wands”.

  Nope. Not a real card.  It’s either knight of wands or 6 of wands. If the card was turned upside down (as a lot were), she’d make it right side up, and look at the card and describe it to me. There are different meanings for upside down cards. Honestly, she may as well just read it from the book at that point, instead of telling me what the picture looked like.
  Oh well. Makes for a funny story because my friend and I joke about becoming this exact tarot reader. We joke about charging people but we’d need the book or good wifi to look up the meanings. Haha.  I can’t wait to tell her we CAN become that reader! 
  

  Edit words. I’m bad at them.

  @CharmedPam how funny. I don’t place much (if any) stock in Reiki either but I would be interested in trying it some day just for the experience. I feel like at most I’d just disassociate for a minute which might be nice in today’s hellscape lol. 

  
  

  Work today. H and I actually woke up at 5:30 and did a walk. I’m going to give it a few days and see if I’m up to it overall. I don’t want to over do it but I also have to try and increase my activity to get in as good of shape as possible before our trip. Switching offices has not been good for me. I now have no windows and everything I do is five feet apart so I’m not getting nearly as many steps in. I’ve been doing some squats scattered through the day but it’s not the same. Otherwise, SSDD. I scheduled an eye appointment on Saturday which is needed. 

  
  

  @casadena have a great time! We don’t golf but we stayed at fancy pants Torrey Pines for H’s birthday last year and the experience of the hotel alone was super nice and beautiful.

  Yeah @levioosa, I actually was interested in the aligned chakras, but really - how does one know their chakras have been aligned? Lol. The healing part was new to me, if it really helps my knee, I think it’s around $100 a pop…. i could go from time to time. My friend didn’t get the non physical aspect of reiki so told me she does acupuncture, which makes sense to want that physical touch for benefits.
  lately I’ve been getting up at 4:30 too! Not on purpose mind you, but I’ve been working out and then that tires me enough to go back to bed and finish my sleep.  GL on your fitness goals too
