Becky's Journal

Misty was up throwing up throughout the night last night but was pretty much better by bedtime, thank goodness.  She bounced back way faster than I did.  And as for me I've got some unpleasant gas and a little dizziness but am basically better.  Yay.

Ricky had his DEXA scan today.  He has this once a year because of his CF causing mineral deficiencies (which hopefully he makes up for by drinking close to a gallon of milk a day) and because he takes Heparin, Prednisone, and anti-convulsants on a regular basis.  After that we had Panda Express.  While we were doing all of this Misty was recovering at my mom's.

That's basically it for today.  The weekend is... Freeeeeee so far.  I can't remember the last time I've been able to say that.  Sadly, the most exciting thing I can think of to do is sleep.  *sigh*

I really owe everyone an update. I am also going to try my hand at publishing public journal entries. I am not going to do it all the time, but I like for people who are not on LJ to be able to read what is going on with me in more than 200 characters. :)

By way of an explanation... I have become involved in a program through an autism research organization, where I write journal entries based on prompts they provide. It is to see if journaling can help moms of kids on the spectrum with dealing with all of that stuff. My LJ is not part of that, but it occurred to me that if I started journaling more (again... I LJ'd every day for several years and fell off the wagon after I got immersed in Facebook), I might be better able to deal with my daily stressors. We'll see.

( So, what's been going on? )

Guess that is it for now. Hope everyone is doing well and you'll be seeing more posts from me! :)
