Busy.
Busy.
Busy.
Here’s a snapshot of my day:
- Josh wakes me up with sweet, warm, coffee kisses, “Byeeee…”
- Pop out of bed, make some strong, black Gevalia.. Take acidophilus, fish oil, milk thistle (best liver cleanser on the planet), two papaya enzymes (to aid degestion) + the standard two Ibuprofin gel caps.
- Have some breakfast: vanilla Greek yogurt and some Ruby Red grapefruit juice
- Hop in shower
- Get ready for dentist appointment
- Dentist- full pano x-ray + cavity drilled and filled (raw nerves exposed- extremely painful)- xray results- TMJ “condo” area (cheek & jawbone joint on right side) is “not looking good”- is extremely swollen and may have bone mutation/deformation from chronic TMJ- may need surgery- TMJ specialist referral
- Straight to Mom’s house- pick up grocery list/my treat- go shopping for both my Mom & I- ($300)
- Drop off groceries/go home- Josh is home early- he helps put away groceries
- Laundry/cleaning/dishes, etc.
- Two more Ibuprofin gel caps because mouth hurts like a &^%$# and novacaine has worn off completely
- Make dinner for Josh & i: steak, polenta, fresh collard greens, fresh portabella mushrooms, green onions, fingerling “smushed potatoes” w/sour cream/garlic & scallions
- Put away laundry/wash another load
- Dishes (again)
- Give dog (Chance) a bath
- Take another shower
- Make hot Epson salt foot soak for Josh
- Take dog for walk
- Come home- finish up remaining dishes
- Make Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer tea for Josh and I (w/honey- good stuff!)
- Put clothes into dryer
- Brush teeth & fall into bed early with stack of schoolbooks at 10:36 p.m.
Cringeworthy!

Hey, I have my days too where I poke around like a 90 year old and barely get out of bed! (I think we all do, yeah?) I think I didn’t let myself sit still long enough to be swallowed by raw nerve pain.
Now it’s Ambien time (thank God!) and time to clock out- books tomorrow. xo

This is a lovely shot, a quick note on your day, does Josh not know how to cook, wash dishes, and sort the dog, and before anyone moans I’m a guy and would have done those things especially given the day you’ve just endured.

Thanks! And haha…I KNEW somebody would point all of that out. Believe it or not, hes AWESOME with that stuff, but in the past week alone, he’s built a shed, replaced a screen door (cutting and replacing the actual screen part too), bought another base door (front door) and cut it all down by hand + chiseled out hinges, etc. mowed the grass, did all of the weed-eating, trimming, etc. + worked over 60 hours at his hard-wood flooring job. He works his butt off!
So, yeah, I’ve had to double up on my house duties because he’s been replacing kitchen plumbing/pipes and rewiring electricity and lights in the kitchen (and other housing projects.) Whew! We’re some busy people! :0)
