Sunday Yet Again

I swear the weekend just flew by.  Last night I went to bed with a cold, achy ribs, and a sore throat is is quite red.  Still the same this morning.

J and I had planned on going to church on post today because it was closer to home, however J decided he didn't want to go.  I did want to go but not if it would put him in a foul mood for the rest of the day.  Maybe next week if I feel up to it.

I have no clue how I'm going to feel next weekend.  It depends on a lot of things.  Next weekend I should know if this cycle worked or if it is a bust.  If it is a bust I'll be starting a new cycle and I'll not want to go anywhere while I'm bleeding.  I think my lady friends will understand.

J and I are talking about maybe purchasing a real tree this year.  I do have a tree stand that I bought when I was single in 2002 that I never used.  I was going to put up a real tree that year but with my work schedule and late night closings I never did have the time to do any more than draw the 6 foot artificial down from my parents' attic.  They were living in their other house and I had a four bedroom to myself and my two cats.    Kind of nice but really lonely.

Hoping I can get J to go shopping with me to purchase a tree topper and make some memories to keep of when we made that purchase.  I had to explain it to him as he just told me to go out and buy one.

I'd rather not buy a pre-lit tree if we do buy a new artificial one.  I have a 4 foot tree I put up on a table.  I do realize that the post homes, for the enlisted, don't have large living rooms and part of the space we have is also considered the dining room.  We use the family room off the kitchen for the dining room as it more convenient for dining.

One reason why I'm holding off on buying a larger artificial tree is that I have no clue if I'll have the space for it next year.  One way or the other we won't be here in this house next year.  Either J will ETS or he'll be moved if he can re-enlist.  By the end of this year we'll know more until then we are still waiting.

Sunday Brings Changes

Every Sunday always brings with it new changes.  Just yesterday we were having fun acting like kids and today its four loads of laundry for me and mowing the lawn for him.  Today we have to be adults.  Can I have yesterday back?

 I haven't been sleeping well for the past few nights.  I'm not sure if its the fertility drugs or just the cold weather.  Turning the heat up isn't an option because its central heat which means it blows dry air around the house and causing my asthma  to flare up.  So instead I sit in the cold, damp air with the heat set to 62 F. 

 This morning I woke up at 0500 hrs with really bad back pain.  The L3-L4 and L4-L5 are the site of the bulging and herniated discs.  Due to the fertility drugs my body temperature has been running a bit higher than the  98.6 F so my husband's hands are like a soothing ice pack to a fresh injury.  Most mornings I can well tolerate the pain but this morning I was writhing in pain for almost six hours before finally saying to heck with it and getting up.  Downward Dog wouldn't fix this type of pain today got to love Fibromyalgia (sarcasm).

Tomorrow I have to try to remember to call my lawyers in NY.  Tomorrow I need to get my butt to ACS for my EFMP renewal paperwork.  Tomorrow I...well I'll wait until tomorrow to see what tomorrow is going to have in store for me.  For today I'm just going to do my laundry and try to relax without thinking of the stuff that needs to be done tomorrow.  After all its still today and the government offices are closed on Sundays.

Maybe tonight I'll get one last chance for the weekend at being a kid with my spouse.
