NAPS ARE BRILLIANT, THYROIDS ARE STUPID

Three days of blogging so far this week? Can you stand it? We don't really have that much going on around here, but I have some time tonight, so you're getting a blog entry.

Colby and I curled up and took a big, fat nap together today, and I make no apologies for it. After his 3:00 treatment, his heart rate was really low, and he had that sleepy boy look about him. The day nurse left at 4:00 and the night nurse didn't get here until 5:30. So I curled up beside my sweet boy, covered us up with my fuzzy IU blanket, and we took a snooze for about 45 minutes. Do I have laundry that needs to be done? Yes. Do I have a mountain of mail to go through, again? Yes. But sometimes you just have to say screw it, QT with my boy is what really matters.

We didn't mess with any math homework tonight. Actually I didn't set up Colby's eye gaze at all tonight. Bad, bad mama! His speech therapist wants it set up in front of him at all times, and I agree with that. Except for today lol. Again, some days you just have to say screw it. I'll do better tomorrow. Maybe. Probably.  

Hoping the weather hold out this weekend. I want to take Colby to the St. Patrick's Day parade here in town. I have a nurse lined up. We have our green clothes and paraphernalia ready. We've worked out special parking. Can't wait! Rain, rain, stay away.

Hey, guess what? I'm abnormal. That really isn't a surprise, is it? I went to the endocrinologist today and she was like what the heck is going on with your TSH level? Well hell I don't know, lady, you're the one who regulates my medication dosage. It's not the end of the world or life threatening or anything like that. Just frustrating. It's been over 2 years. So we adjusted my medication dosage, again, and I'll go in for blood work, again, in 3 months. I guess the good news is I can still blame my weight gain and fatigue on my thyroid. It couldn't possibly be from my eating habits or lifestyle choices. Nope, no way. Oh, and I can't find my driver's license. I had it Saturday night when I went out. I remember seeing it Sunday morning sitting on the bathroom sink. So it has to be around here somewhere. That'll be my chore for tomorrow while Colby is at school. Locate license.

Colby has about half an hour before his night treatment. I'm going to go back there and we'll do our little bible lesson together. That's what I decided to do for Lent. Spend some time with Colby each day talking about God, being Catholic, praying. It's been very rewarding. Much better than "giving up" something. Seriously, what do I have left to give up? Hope? Haha. Maybe you'll get extremely lucky and I'll blog again tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. Bye for now.
