man alive, i think the past 2 weeks finally caught up with me. i am exhausted.
like really... exhausted.
i was trying to catch up on work last night and also clean the house (in chunks) - was up till 3am (which is not uncommon for me)
set the alarm for 8:30am, woke up at 11am to the phone ringing (it was my aunt wanting gigglemom's number because she'd tried calling her at the hospital and she wasn't there. so i gave her the # for the rehab.)
i did a bodily assessment and came to the conclusion that i am sick. head cold. it's back.
so i took some alka seltzer cold meds and then my aunt judy called - so i was yapping with her for a while, gave her the phone # for the rehab - then i was about to lay down for a bit and my dad and stepmom called. my stepmom said "you should tell your mom to think of it as a spa that she's at". so i was on the phone for about 40 minutes... but starting to drift and had to tell karen i needed to nap.
then gigglemom called from the rehab - she had just gotten back from physical therapy. while at PT, they kept checking her blood oxygen level which was dipping to 82. she should be in the low 90s. so they didn't really make her exert herself. which is fine. i'm glad they check that - because it just goes to show my mom that she frigging needs to be there.
then they brought her her lunch - i mentioned Karen's "tell her she should think of it as a spa" and gigglemom said "actually i HAD thought of that earlier... right now i've got my 4 star two slices of deli roast beef with canned gravy sitting in front of me, so..."
so i let her go and then i took a nap... only to be woken up by the phone 3 hours later (at 3:30pm) by gigglemom who said "i just got back from y seasalt scrub!" --- she was kidding. but she DID get her hair cut and blowdried at the salon they have in there --- which is good, because (as you may have read in a previous entry) she's been bitching about her hair.
so i told her i wasn't feeling well and asked if i could come tomorrow to the place and she said "yeah, i don't expect you to come here every day"***
*** no underlying tones of guilt in that sentence... she sounded sincere so that was good.
i must've fallen back to sleep because my other aunt just woke me up at 6:20pm with a "where's your mother? i just called the hospital and they said there's no gigglemom there"
so i gave her the number and right now, i'm awake.
for now.
i still need to design and frigging finish matt iseman's site (i've taken far too long, so i've got that guilt gnawing away at me) and then jim's publicist just emailed me with a new job to do... not to mention i've got my daily assistant stuff to do for my guys --- and need to help my friend EJ with his site (which he just emailed me and i wrote back a short "hey sorry - a lot going on right now. http://www.gigglechick.com/erin/blog" email (i know it's rude but, there's just been too much going on to retype, you know)
Welcome to the YapFest (11 yapped)
this might just be the codeine talking (got my wisdom teeth extracted) but let's go ahead and get married.
[note from GC: shall we elope tomorrow for Valentine's Day? I'm game. gigglemom's in the rehab, so i've got some time for a honeymoon]
Gigglechick has a gigglemom....this chick is funny.
Thanks for getting this virgin blogger going.....it was my first time.
Glad to hear your mom can make you feel guilty when she wants to......now thats a gigglemom with a phd.
Sorry about hassling you....get your stuff done...get some sleep....see you
[note from GC: you weren't hassling me!! i just have been overwhelmed... ]
I'm glad you're cutting yourself some slack and resting. You have got to be physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted. Be kind to yourself in the coming days and weeks.
