Going Uphill

It is early Saturday morning and Rusty and I have gone downstairs to start the day. He has been out and I have a fire started in the fireplace and he is now standing in front of it warming himself.
I had the x-rays taken on Wednesday and they showed no blockage so I was given a stronger pain pill. Which, by the way, did get rid of the stomach cramps! I also realized that it made me a bit woozie. So I won't be able to take it and teach. and take it.
I taught on Thursday and it was very exhausting. No school Friday and then 3 days of subs and they lost their manners. So I had to deal with discipline issues that we had been past. Plus, bonus I got a new boy in my class! That added to the joy of the day. I left as early as possible and went home and took a nap. Thursday was the night of sorority's biggest fund raiser of the year, our auction. I was determined to go. I believe it was a great success! I ended up leaving before it was over, because I was a bit tired. I enjoyed it and all the girls did a spectacular job! I even got some pictures this year, which is better than last year when I didn't get any. Thanks to Judy I did get the cream puffs that Ken really wanted. My stomach was doing okay all morning and at lunch I tried a peanut butter sandwich and it felt like stomach cramps were on the way back, so I threw away half the sandwich and quite eating. At the auction I noticed I was okay when I ate protein so I ate a couple of chicken wings, sausage ball, and a part of a chicken salad croissant. My stomach was feeling okay. Then some chocolate nut candy called my name and I realized chocolate doesn't taste so good and my stomach started rolling.
Friday was a new day and I felt better. I got to school feeling like I could handle the day. We got a lot done and everything went pretty smoothly. But, I had to leave to go get herceptin. I thought I was on a 3 week schedule for that, but I am still on a weekly schedule. It went okay and I went home. Ken was laying another section of slate in the kitchen. When he got to a stopping point we went to dinner at Santa Fe. I had a good steak and baked potato. I felt good after I ate it, no stomach problems. Yeah! We came home started a fire and enjoyed each other and a night of television. He has worked nights all week, so we haven't had much time to be together. We still enjoy just being together! After a bit I couldn't help myself and I got one of the best cream puffs ever and ate it. It was good, but it sure did make me sick. I think I am getting the picture - no sweets! Surely this to shall pass!
I am hopeful that the new refrigerator (bought in August) will get installed in the kitchen, we will get all the dust from this job dusted, and Ken will rest some before he goes back to work Sunday night. I have some sewing I plan to work on, but mainly I will try to keep my stomach on an even keel and rest. I am looking forward to a whole week at school and enjoying my kids. We have a lot of fun things to do.
