  I'm totally slogging through.  Not sleeping well and my cold is definitely worse than yesterday (mostly just a very sore throat).  The flu is going around at the kids' school and I'm just hoping we can make it to our flu shots this Friday.  I usually schedule them around Veterans Day but time got away from me by mistake.

  Yeah ‘erbody is sick! I did go to immediate care in hopes for a z pak but they gave me a 10 day antibiotic instead. I’m feeling slightly better, but I have 4 more days before my flight and I really should have went sooner. As it turns out I have Otitis media. What is Otitis media you ask? An ear infection. It’s got common cold symptoms attached to it. So nothing major, which is the good news. I still stayed home because the constant coughing worries people.
  I have been avoiding the scale the last few months. Just not with a health kick lately and a “no care” attitude. The NP at urgent care asked for me to stand on the scale and I had the urge to toss all her papers, throw all the medical supplies off the counter and run out like a mad person. But, alas, I did not. I stepped on it, much to my surprise I only gained 3 lbs in 5 months. And in my doc office I take my shoes off and make sure it’s first thing in the morning and on an empty stomach. Yesterday, shoes were on, and I had eaten breakfast already, so maybe I stayed the same? I’ll take it because I fluctuate so easy and I felt I easily put on 15. I’m 6’0 so my 15 lbs isn’t your 15 pounds.

  Baby J has hand foot and mouth diseases again. If someone told me their kid was sick as much as J I’d think they were lying. Seriously we cannot catch a break.

  Healthy vibes for everyone! 
  
  Work today and I am just so tired. We had some heavy rain this past weekend and my joints are really feeling it. I'm glad there's only 3 days left of the week. and then next week is a short week too. 
  
  Otherwise, SSDD. It took foreverrrr to commute today. We're supposed to get more rain this week too which always makes the drive even better.

  The flu or some kind of virus is making the rounds.  I haven't had my flu and covid shots yet.  The kids and DH are vaccinated for flu, Chiquita now for Covid too and Chiquito for Covid next Wed.  I'm hoping to get a flu shot next week and the following week I have my physical and can get an updated Covid vaccine.  I have to fly tomorrow and will try to do what I can to stay healthy.

  Hoping everyone feels better soon!
  
  I'm watching a webinar at work and waiting for our 3 PM meeting.  Surprisingly, I did manage to sleep last night, which was a pleasant surprise.
  
  I had PT this morning, and she cupped my upper back.  I look like I was in a battle with an octopus lol.  
  
  I'm ready for the big craft show on Saturday.  I'm wondering if I should make more Santa Cam ornaments, as I've sold 7 before the show even starts.  I may do that tonight as I have all the supplies.  
  
  My uncle entered hospice this week for lymphoma, and so there's that going on as well.  There's a lot of "stuff" these days.

  Was in Denver for the first couple days this week but back home and working. My sister got in this week and will be here til the 1st, so that's been nice! The boy LOVE her and N told me this morning (after I had told him no about something) that he was going to put me and H in jail because we're too "mean" and they'll just live with Aunt M. G looked distraught "N, why do you want all our grown ups to go to jail?!?". It was funny. 
  
  Off on Friday for a girls day with my mom and sister. We're going to shop and lunch and possibly see the new Wicked movie. 
  
  Seeing H's fam on Saturday morning and as usual, what was supposed to be a quiet immediate family visit with his gma (who is not doing well), is turning into a circus and people are being assigned food to bring, etc etc. I KNOW i have an attitude about it, and i'm working on it, but i just get so irritated for days leading up to their events. 
  
  Busy every weekend through the end of year, so just bracing and trying to knock out gifts a little at a time.

  Nothing too much going on.  I'm still just struggling with my sleep schedule and energy.  I really suspect it's the time change.  My body just doesn't want to do anything when it's dark outside....that's sleeping time!
  
  Mostly SSDD.  My internet was out this morning, so I have a short day.  I think I'll have to pull from PTO to cover it, but I can't remember.  I usually have a solid chunk of extra time, so I'll just try to cover it.  My new comforter is here so I'll try and open it tonight and see if I like it.  Hopefully I do, this comforter shopping is getting annoying.
