This morning I was still pretty tired once the kids were off to school. So I did the usual and went back to bed for a while. I still have a bit of nausea, but it’s definitely not as bad as it was last week!! I now believe that last it was super bad because I stopped my antidepressants cold-turkey!! Our stupid health insurance company still hadn’t fixed the situation with cutting us off prematurely, so we had no insurance. I didn’t refill the prescriptions because of the lack of insurance. I am pretty certain that that medication needs to be stopped very gradually, not the way I stopped it! I think my system was out of whack. I had been on those antidepressants for years and suddenly I wasn’t taking them. The funny thing is that I didn’t and still don’t notice a difference in my mood. So, once we received our new non-group Blue Cross insurance and I was able to get prescriptions again, I decided not to restart those ones. I don’t believe that I need them anymore. My TN isn’t severe right now, knock on wood, and I am no longer depressed. Yay! So, since they’re out of my system already it didn’t really make much sense to start them again. I have a lab requisition from the dr who gave me the antibiotics for the Protozoa that are, or, hopefully, were squirming around in my tummy. She wants to retest to be certain that they’re gone. It’s not a very pleasant test, but I guess I should do it. I’m still not 100%, even though I completed the round of antibiotics, so I guess we should know if I am still nauseous because they’re still there or if it’s related to something completely different.

Once I got up from my nap I went downstairs and had something to eat. After eating, I went on my phone for a while and talked with my hubby. My daughter left for work. She’s at the Southgate store today. She’s actually in her own store in the new outlet mall on Thursday and Friday this week. The new mall opens next week. They are anticipating that it’s going to be ridiculously busy for the first bit. So busy that employees are parking at the airport and being shuttled to the mall for the first couple of weeks! Crazy!! So far she’s enjoying the job and quickly learning all she needs for the supervisor position that she accepted. I believe it will be a lot less stress than the airport job was, which will be good for her. My hubby went to get the kids from school while I got ready to go. I drove my daughter to dance and then I went to Winners for a bit. I love Winners!! Then I went to my mom and dad’s. We tried to find out what was going on in Beaumont with one of the schools being locked down. It was after 5:00 and the kids hadn’t been released yet. Later we found out that a man in a house close by had a firearm and the police were trying to get inside. Due to the dangerous situation, they didn’t want kids walking home in the area. They ended up walking the kids to Eaglemont church and the parents had to show ID to pick up their kiddos. Kind of a frightening situation. They were just trying to keep everyone safe. My parents and I had supper and visited for a bit. Then I went to pick up my daughter from dance. We drove home. Once we were here, I changed and went downstairs on the treadmill for about 45 minutes. Then I had a speedy shower and got ready for bed. Now I’m going to crash. Night All! 💤😴

This morning we woke up around 9:00. We had to go down for breakfast right away, because the breakfast was only until 10:00. I was feeling pretty tired all day today. I just think that you don’t sleep as well when you’re not in your own bed. Well, I don’t anyway! After eating, we went upstairs to our room and got dressed and ready to check out. Once we did, we drove to my aunt and uncle’s place and went in for a short visit. My mom and dad were still there too. That was where they stayed last night. After saying our goodbyes, we drove back to Beaumont. I didn’t really sleep on the drive, but I sure was tired! If it had been a bit of a longer drive I would have slept. I was on the verge of falling asleep as we drove into town. Once home, my oldest daughter, son and I were on my bed for a couple hours. We didn’t sleep, but we sure were tired!! I made supper and we just ate while watching tv tonight. I think we were all exhausted. My daughter and I watched a few of our recorded NCIS New Orleans shows. We have a ton of recorded tv shows that we are so behind on!! I guess that is why you record them. However, you have to watch them eventually!! It’s getting close to finale season. During our last show my hubby gave my son a bath. Then once the show was finished, I got him ready for bed and into bed. Now I’m going to do the same myself! I’m so tired that my eyes hurt!! Night All! 💤😴

Calgary

Today we woke up earlier than we generally do on a Saturday. Well, earlier than I do that’s for sure!! We all got dressed and ready and drove to Calgary. We arrived in Calgary at about 1:00 and went to check in at our hotel, I called yesterday regarding early check in. We wanted to change our clothes etc. They said that our room wasn’t ready. We had to change in the pool area. The change rooms were small and didn’t even have mirrors. We managed though. Then we drove about 10-15 minutes to my uncle and aunt’s apartment complex. We were there for my uncle’s 90th Birthday party. A few of my cousins were there, as well as another uncle and aunt other than the one celebrating his birthday. My parents were also there. We stayed there for a few hours. We helped them clean up at the end of the party, once everyone had left the little hall. We then drove back to the hotel and were able to check in this time. We went to our room. My younger daughter went for a quick swim in the pool with my son for a short while. Then they came back upstairs and got dressed again and we went to BP’s and met my cousin and her husband, her son and his family, my uncle and aunt and my parents. We all had supper and visited. We said our goodbyes and then we came back to the hotel and we all went in the pool. We came back to our room, took turns showering, and hung out a bit. Now I’m going to go to bed. Everyone’s sleeping except my oldest daughter and I. We’re going to bed though. Right now! Night All! 💤😴

Sorry folks. This is going to be a super short one again. I’m still not feeling great and tomorrow’s going to be a long one! Today the kids didn’t have school. I slept in and then when I did wake up, I stayed in bed and played a game with my son. He was on the iPad and I was on my phone, playing the same game. We played until we were both starving! Then we went downstairs and ate. Afterwards we played some more. We actually played for so long that we ended up finishing the game. We packed his bag for tomorrow and then we had supper. After supper we played a very similar game and played that for a while. Then we came upstairs, got him ready for bed. I packed my bag and then put him to bed and got myself ready for bed. Now I’m going to crash!

Night All! 💤😴

Still Yucky!

I’m going to have to make this short tonight. My son is awake and wanting me and it’s late and I’m tired and I’m feeling sick. I actually feel a titch better than yesterday. I did spend some of the morning and afternoon in bed again. I drove my daughter to dance and visited with my parents while she danced. Afterwards, we came home and had supper. Then I went on the treadmill for about 65 minutes. I had a shower and now I’m going to go to bed. Night All! 💤😴

Well, something disgusting just happened to me while I was getting ready for bed. Because I am gagging at every little smell and thing… I started gagging while brushing my teeth. Unfortunately, the gagging turned into full on throwing up – through and with my toothpaste!! Ew! So gross! Sorry for the visual, it’s just so so yucky!! I really just need to go to bed now. I’m going to leave it short and gross tonight…definitely nothing short and sweet around here! Ug…

Night All! 💤😴

Today wasn’t much better than yesterday. I just can’t continue feeling like this. It truly sucks!! I stayed up once the kids went to school, sitting on the couch like a lump. I was gagging at everything and felt awful. I went upstairs and went to bed. I wasn’t feeling that tired, I was just feeling sick. I stayed in bed for a long time. My daughter came in and we talked for a while and then I got up. I ate a bit of supper. After supper I went to Sobeys and Rexall quickly. When I got back my daughter, son and I came upstairs. We got him ready for bed and I said goodnight to him. Then, despite my tummy, I forced myself to walk on the treadmill for about 45 minutes. It wasn’t fun the way I was feeling, but I did it anyway. It’s already Tuesday and I hadn’t been on it yet this week!! I am just building the habit and I don’t want to mess with it. Afterwards, I cleaned myself up and got ready for bed. Now I’m going to bed. I sure hope that these antibiotics are working!! Night All! 💤😴

Today I probably shouldn’t even bother with writing a post. I feel horrible and so extremely nauseous it’s ridiculous! I was literally gagging and on the verge of throwing up all day. I tried to hold it in all weekend, but today it was impossible to ignore how ill I feel. I basically went to bed once the kids went to school and remained there for the majority of the day. I tried to get up a couple times, but I was so close to throwing up that I just couldn’t function. I sat for a bit, and went back to bed. I definitely wasn’t sleeping all day, but I was just lying there feeling yucky! So that’s my post. Now I’m going to try to actually sleep instead of just lying around. I really wanted to go on the treadmill today, but it just wasn’t happening…hopefully tomorrow is better!! Fingers crossed.

Night All! 💤😴

Sundance Dance Festival Day 5

Today my daughter’s alarm went off at about 9:20. We wanted to make it to breakfast before 10:00, when it was over. We were the only ones there for the majority of the time. One other person showed up for about 5 minutes. We went back to our room after eating and she started getting ready to dance, doing her hair and makeup. I sat for a bit, but we didn’t really have that much time before we had to checkout. We ended up leaving closer to 11:30. We were supposed to be at the theatre by noon. We were a little early. She went backstage and I was in the lobby with some of the other moms. We went into the theatre and watched tap before the hip hop category. She had both of her hip hop dances in the same category. For both dances she received a high gold. Her senior group won 3rd place and their hip hop line won first and the choreography award!! Two categories afterwards, she had her production or musical theatre line. They received a high gold, second place and the choreography award. Another two categories later, she had her modern dance. They received high gold and third place. She’s been doing quite well at this competition! Other than her solo, she’s gotten high gold and placed in all of her dances!! I’m proud of her!! After the modern dance, she finally had a chance to take a bit of a break, just for about 40 minutes though. I got us each a booster juice. Then she went with her friends and I went back in the lobby and had my drink and visited a bit. Then I watched her jazz. They did great, again!! She received another high gold and second place! Her jazz dance was in the final category of the competition. The final awards and scholarships were announced after her jazz adjudication. Their lyrical dance, restitution, won a final prize and their hip hop line, what time is it, also won a final prize. Amanda’s also came in second place in the top studio award, we lost by a score of only .01!!! That’s crazy!Once the awards were finished, we could finally go home, after a long full day. Well, get food and then go home! We drove back home and arrived by about 8:00. My daughter and I were both feeling tired! I played with my son until his bedtime, I wanted to go on the treadmill, but he really wanted me to put him to bed tonight. By the time he was ready for bed and actually sleeping, I was just feeling too tired. I probably should have done it right away, but he really wanted to play and I hadn’t seen him in a couple days. Once he was asleep, I got myself ready and now I’m going to crash! Night All! 💤😴

This morning I got up around 8:30 – 9:00. Not too early. Perhaps early for me, with my typical weekend morning sleeping in! I got ready to go and my daughter and I left at about 10:15. We arrived on time. My daughter had her duo today at 12:25. Her duo is a musical theatre dance. They did amazing! They were quite funny!! There were a lot of people laughing. They received high gold and first. They also received a $60 scholarship for highest adjudication score!! Woohoo!! Afterwards, we stayed in the theatre and my daughter came into the audience and we watched the future stars. They were quite adorable!! Future stars are the little guys! They were 4 and 5 year olds and were so cute to watch! When they were finished, I called the hotel and asked if we could have early check in. We went to Wendy’s and brought our food with us to our room. We ate our lunch and lied on our beds in our room watching a bit of tv and relaxing. We basically hung out in the room for the afternoon. We did go out to Shoppers quickly, but other than that we were in our room until about 5:45. My daughter had to be backstage at 6:00 for her ballet dance. They had some respacing to get done before going on at about 7:30. They danced really well! They received a high gold and 3rd place for their ballet dance. Yay! Tomorrow’s going to be her busiest day! She has 5 dances between 1:30 and 6:00!! She will be on stage practically every second category!! Talk about getting it all done at once! It won’t be bad to watch, but it’s a lot for a dancer. They will be flying through their rehearsals like mad!! Once she was finished her ballet, we got some supper and brought it back to the room with us again. I wasn’t feeling very hungry, my tummy is just not really feeling like food these days. I hope that these pills kick in and start to actually help! I have a permanent lump in my throat and what is starting to feel like permanent nausea as well!! We just hung out in our room after eating. We were both feeling pretty tired and so we didn’t really do much. After just lying down with the tv on, we just got ready for bed. She crashed pretty quickly and now I’m going to sleep too!

Night All! 💤😴
