Day five of seven that have been plagued with migraine. Have meds. Relieve the migraine. About the next day its back again.
Upped my anxiety meds; days are getting shorter, anxiety goes up. Looked into light replacement lamps; cost so much.
Devin is home. Still in lots of pain; still needs help with everything. Is good that his mom can sleep in her own bed, and he gets to see friends. I got to see him on Saturday with DA, and he manages to smile and make jokes on occasion; it will be better.
CC graduated from speech; he is within normal ranges, tho most people (including family) can’t understand him. He qualified for PT/OT and feeding therapy. That should start up in the next few weeks.
EK has started to talk; mostly the ends of words, but we are starting to be able to tell what she is saying. Its exciting to hear, after four years of waiting. She’s also started using three and four word sign sentences, expressing bigger ideas.
Am hoping to look into Lasik surgery for me for Christmas — before that, preferably. I’m getting frustrated more and more waking up and not being able to see. I decided that sacrificing my close-up vision will be worth it; its going on its own as it is, so I’d just be hastening the process.
I’ve been knitting lots. Socks for mom (they are on hold because I flubbed the lace, and I can’t figure out where it went wrong). A couple of lace projects. Started some new socks. Finished one sweater, one is waiting on seaming and button bands/buttons, and one is waiting to finish drying so I can buy a zipper for it and sew it in. Made a hat for DS. Socks for AE’s birthday went over well, socks for GC were happily accepted. Finally cool enough some days to wear my own wool socks.
Have no energy. Psyched myself up to clean the front entry/closet, and nearly had to pry myself off the floor to finish, I was so worn out. The floor still needs vacuuming, but it will have to wait. My will can no longer push my flesh off the couch. Maybe in another hour?
Not sleeping well. Fall asleep alright if its late and I’m tired, but if I wake during the night or early in the morning, I can’t fall back asleep for all the junk running through my head.
Fuul interviewed for a new group at his company yesterday; said it went well, and they didn’t ask him any questions he didn’t know the answers to! Now the hard part will come in having to decide if he wants to leave his group to accept a position in a new one; change is scary.
Lots of school; lots of homework; lots of busy; less time and energy in the day. But what else is new?
