Mom was in the hospital for a reaction to the dyes they use for medical scans. They give her something to counteract the effects, but she has been sick with a lingering flu. She was getting very dizzy and sick. She’s feeling better now and she gets the results...Negative To Positive
Yesterday was definitely a negative day. Started off with a meager two hours of sleep. Xander’s eczema is flaring up badly again… particularly on his face. He has been crawling around rubbing his face on the carpet. I’m considering contacting his...{Works in Progress} Springtime Socks & Midwinter Scarf
With the completion of one scarf and pair of socks, I started another of each.

Mom is still sick. Xander is still teething. Ross’ back is feeling only slightly better. I have missed too many days at the gym this week. I have been getting in workouts at home, but they are not nearly as intense or long as when I go to the gym. Xander and I...Morning Randomness
Xander is still not back on a normal sleep schedule, but we did finally get what we consider a good night’s sleep. He fell asleep after one this morning and we got to sleep in until eight. He’s cranky this morning, though. That’s unusual when...Stressed
Really stressed again. Ross has been on another round of obsessive game play on DDO… just after getting over a month of playing a cell phone game that he constantly had running. Any game obsession somehow sucks out all of the caring, sweet and good husband in...Frustration
Feeling rather frustrated this last week or so. I should be on my way to the gym right now. Mom has been sick for the last week and still is, so she’s not up to going to the gym. For me, that has meant missed days and going in the evening. I have actually gained...
