Thinking About Vacation Tonight


It's official there is a virus attacking my thyroid. I so knew it was not right! Now I get to hurt and be tired for a few weeks until it is done doing whatever it's doing and we see if it recovers ...or not? That's what I'm hearing from my Nurse-Practitioner. LAME, I'm not a sick person! I have kids, work and 5 classes, meetings, I'm putting on a breakfast for a couple hundred (with a TON of help LOL) on Saturday, did I mention my 5 classes with ALL THE PROJECTS and PAPERS THAT ARE DUE???? ohhh I hurt, I'm going to bed.
How's this for medicine in the 'Last Frontier' My boss (also my provider) and I are going to the airport to see her supervising physician from Anchorage between flights. I think he's heading to Adak and she wants him to check me out :)
My husband wants me to get an appt in ANC or PDX (Portland Gigi...just teasing) But that all takes energy....

After 3 weeks of frantic traveling to ANC and SEA (seeing lots of friends and relatives, some we've not see in a couple years) we have a month in Wrangell. I love Wrangell I DO basically nothing, compared to what I do here and it's so relaxing!! My family is varied and I think they're wonderful! Last 4th of July was my Aunt's 75th birthday so almost EVERYONE was there. This year my sister and her family are coming!! We live in an apartment in a hotel with a cafe and a latte shop attached, its own laundromat! How handy is that??? The bank is next door, scrapbook store across the parking lot. Grocery store across the street, movie theater a block away...I'm ready for vacation!!!

It's not even 8pm and I'm going to bed.....THIS SUCKS!!!

  2. Wow, that straight up sucks, but at least you know what's going on now...well, kind of. Hopefully, it'll just be a few weeks of whatever it is and then it'll be gone! In any case, I'm glad you've got Wrangell to look forward to and I hope you get to feeling better soon!

  5. CD thank goodness it is a virus and not something worse. I hope they will get you some good antibiotics and some pain relievers. Take it from me as I have learned this when you are tired stop and rest don't try to push it you can over tire yourself and that weakens your body more. Don't be afraid to let others help you so you can sit and rest between tasks. I am glad you are going to get such a nice vacation. Plenty of good fun time to unwind. Take it easy gal I'll be thinking of you.

  6. can you take "Incompletes" on the classes if you need to? Just an idea that might take a bit off your overcrowded plate.

    I am praying for you and your community everyday CD. Hope your thyroid issues are resolved quickly.

  11. Take care of yourself because God knows the kids and hubby won't - LOL!. What is it about mom's - we're not supposed to be sick and just keep plugging along and making dinner of course! Really, take some time for yourself and just tell them to make a PB & J sandwich!
