Well, last Friday was a bust. I went to get a flu shot, but the vaccine hadn’t gotten in on time and the doctor had a family thing going on. No shot.
The past week so far I have been sleeping much. I’m assuming it has something to do with my body’s chemistry since these sorts of spells happen every month – that and I’m drinking my water up, which also happens for about a week or so each month. Such joy.
Tuesday my mom took off work and only told me the night before that I had an appointment to see the foot doctor. So mid morning, we go to see the doctor. It is raining out. Meh.
Well, we went there, we filled out stuff, we waited and then finally we were taken to a room. We waited some more. Well, I finally meet the doctor who had told my mother about her uneven legs. Well, I have uneven legs too. I also don’t push up on my feet so my calf muscles don’t get a work out apparently. There were questions asked and answered, he studied my ankles and all that junk. It was strange being barefooted. He also had me walk up and down a hall for a while, balance and he touched my sides to see if my hips had any issues. Meh!
Well, it seems my left leg is shorter than my right. I also had my feet cast for orthodics. Then my mom and I left for the other side of town to get my hips x-rayed for further examination purposes. I remembered getting my chest x-rayed once when younger… It wasn’t much different. The guy even told me to take a deep breath and then breathe out for the whole thing.
Well, after that, we got a hard copy. Since we were over there, Mom checked on something else that dealt with our eye doctor. Then we headed back to the foot doctor, dropped off the hard copy, went to the bank, searched for something, then we went to a different bank to do a deposit and finally we got home.
Mom and I ate lunch, I believe I did some chores and I headed to my room after that. The next few hours I have no idea what my mom did other than some point she took a nap. I believe I worked on something via the computer.
Um… well, around three I checked on my Mom… she woke up and had to do another errand regarding her cell phone. She left the home phone with me in case my brother called. Well, she left. I stayed up despite tired by then and sometime around four she calls me.
She got her phone, my brother contacted her and they were off to do some more errands – she wanted to get some gravel for the yard. With all that settled I hung up and went to sleep. I have no idea when I woke up again after that.
Wednesday and Thursday were mainly sleep days for me. I got up to do chores in between, but I did skip some meals without meaning to. To my fortune, it only affected my chest a little.
Friday, I managed to stay up. I hadn’t done a daily walk all week and planned to do such, but my ankle acted up and for some reason my lower back was hurting as though I had lifted something heavy the wrong way. Oi.
Um… Some of the books I ordered earlier in the week or maybe the end of last week arrived. I had ordered four in total. They are for my eldest brother. They are Christmas gifts. Yes, Christmas gifts. I get the things when I know I have enough money and when the idea for a gift comes to mind before I forget all about it. People are hard to get gifts for in my family.
Also in the mail came something for my mom. It dealt with an old case that dealt with my grandmother’s death. Asbestos exposure and thus lung cancer… Now, Mom should have gotten it a month ago, but my stupid eldest brother didn’t send it to her until two days ago. It made me question about actually giving him his Christmas gifts this year.
Anyway, the item sent was very important and my mom was freaking out about it possibly being time sensitive. She looked over it and my other brother looked over it. It seems there is no deadline. Still, there could have been one and if there had, all of us would likely have to hurt my eldest brother in some way or form and I doubt my mother would ever forgive him.
So, tonight, we went out to eat. My dad was tired and said he was still full from eating BBQ at lunch, so he didn’t join us. Well, we went to Chili’s and while there my mother and brother talked about the mail package still and we all spoke about how we should treat the eldest son for his lack of responsibility. We later went onto less stressful topics.
Well, after dinner, we went our ways.
Mom and I eventually settled into the “sewing room” after being home for a while. I was tired, but my mom expects me to watch TV with her, thus I did so. By nine-thirty we were basically done. I brushed my teeth and all that. Mom did whatever and eventually got ready for bed as well.
Tomorrow, Mom must get up early do to a reunion thing being held at her work. No sleeping in for her, poor thing. Since she’ll have the car, Dad will have to call my brother to use the second one. The rest of the day should be the usual though from what I can foresee.
That is it. I am tired.
