The week flew by...

As usual, the week flew by. Sadie met her babysitter, Liz, on Monday at knitting group. There were more people there than usual and she was a bit spazzy because of it. But once everyone settled down, so did she. Liz took her for a couple walks and gave her some cheese. By the end of the two hours, I looked over and Sadie was curled up on the couch between Liz and someone else, basking in all the attention.

Later in the week, she stopped by and I showed her around the house and the routine in general. It was a nice evening, in the 70's, so we sat on the back deck and enjoyed it.

Next week is my last week at COOR for the summer. Then I will increase my hours at the college and work for them four 8 hour days a week. Things have been so busy at both jobs lately that it kinda sneaked up on me.

I am horrified to admit, I had a little meltdown at the college this week. I am not sure why I over reacted to a mistake I made. My boss wasn't angry. I told her she would never need to yell at me, because I am usually harder on myself than she would ever be. I guess that is exactly what I did, beat myself up.

I borrowed Mom's electric mower this week and took on the back yard. It was getting really tall and ratty looking. The bugs were bad and I couldn't see to find and collect Sadie's "packages" with the pooper scooper. It looks much better now! I remembered to take a before picture after I made a few passes, but I haven't take the after photo yet. Maybe tomorow. It took me 2 days to complete the mowing. I didn't want to overdue it and have a flare. Instead, I ended up at the chiropractor. I had pain in my leg and wrist. Somehow, I put out the tibia in my leg and several bones in my wrist. I couldn't write, type, or knit without pain. It is MUCH better now.

Earlier in the week, I received an email from LC Guy indicating he was going to be shearing a small flock of 9 sheep this week and had negociated for the fleeces for me. Wow! Nine more fleeces! That is too many, in my opinion, to process in my washing machine. I would worry about the lanolin buiding up in the pipes. When I asked him for some ideas for processing it outside, he came up with some creative and inexpensive ones and I will try them some of them out when I get back from my much needed and anticipated vacation to Houston.

I had a monster headache this morning when I awoke and I could not get rid of it. I tried going back to bed, coffee, reflexology and finally I stood in the hot shower until all the hot water was gone. It receded, but my face felt like it was throbbing. I ended up going back to bed for several hours and awoke weak and still had the throbbing feeling. On the other hand, I had a wonderful dream about an old boyfriend that left me with a nice feeling in general.

My friend Barbara stopped by shortly after I got up. We visited for awhile and afterward, I ate dinner and plopped down on the couch.

What is the matter with me? I think it is stress or anxiety. Anyone have any other ideas? I am open to feedback.
