Ah heck, let me make it easy on you and let's go for a combo. Just give me a chilled bottle of Bailey's and a straw. That might get me through tomorrow, or at least through lunchtime!
I woke up today and no dizziness. Yay! I've had a productive day, which you know I love. I went to Mass and Kroger while Colby's dad was here visiting with him. I think that's the first time I've been to Mass so far in 2012. The new priest is growing on me. I enjoyed his homily today. Colby's grandpa came over for a visit. Made him a batch of Rice Krispie treats for his birthday. One of my gal pals came over and helped me decide how to rearrange the furniture in my room. Yesterday I did 5 loads of laundry, but who's counting, and today I got the apartment "straightened up." So tomorrow when Colby is at school I'm going to clean, clean, clean. Can't wait to give this place a good scrubbing.
Colby had a decent day today. Better through the day than yesterday, but his night last night was not fun at all! His oxygen alarm kept going off with his oxygen dipping down to 89/88. His alarm would go off, it would scare the be-geebies out of me. I'd get up and by the time I'd get in his room, his oxygen would be back up to 92/93. This went on and on throughout the night. I tried everything to fix it. I'd turn his head over. Reposition him. Reposition the mask. Check the tubing and connections. Finally at 4:30 a.m. I said screw this. I went and got his nasal prong mask and he used that for a couple of hours. So frustrating because he was using his brand new mask. I went ahead and changed his bi-pap settings for tonight. I figured what could it hurt? Praying we don't have another night like last night.
So I have to ask, Indiana, just what in the hell was that monstrosity of a basketball game today? Good Lord it was awful. I couldn't even watch the 2nd half. I think it's safe to say my Hoosiers played "for shit" today. Moving on.
Started working on my muffaletta for Mardi Gras. I had never heard of this sandwich until a few years ago when I worked at Humana. One of my co-workers was always bringing in food, and man, she was an excellent cook. This sandwich takes 2 days to make, but it will be soooo worth it. You make this relish kind of stuff with black and green olives, roasted red peppers and pepperoncini. Soak that in olive oil and spices for a day. That's where I am now. I'll tell you the rest tomorrow. I haven't made a muffaletta in years and man, I can't wait to pig out on Tuesday.
Well shit. I hear Colby's alarm going off back there. Here we go again! Okay, I'll wrap this up now and go tend to Kid. On second thought, make it 2 bottles of Bailey's. I'm gonna need them.
Hey-what new mask is Colby using?
