Last day off...

My doctor walked in the room and stopped dead and went, oh my god! I guess it was noticeably worse lol. She gave me a shot and strict instructions to call if it's not better in two days.

Back to work now. I'm filling in for the receptionist this week. I have a great view of some of our green space. Makes me not want to work.

Nice pics, jlbear. Do you know who the Odd Fellows are?

They have a hall not far from us, and I always wondered.

Are they a charitable organization?

Back to the doctor. I took my last pill this morning, but my poision ivy isn't better. Actually, it's worse. My arms look horrible, but they don't itch at all. The only part that itches is a new patch on my neck

Sounds like you need a steroid shot. Sorry, I know that's miserable.

Well it was an exciting weekend.

Sugar Ray played by Parish's School Festival. He was doing is parent service hours.
I cut my foot on a broken bottle.
Went to members only day at the zoo.

All in all, I am exhausted and need a weekend from my weekend.

I am an Odd Fellow! Yes, I am actually a member of the International Order of Odd Fellows. It is a fraternal organization similar to the Masons or Knights of Columbus. Our motto is Friendship, Love and Truth. Part of our oath is to visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and education the orphan. There are several branches of the IOOF but I am only part of the Odd Fellows.

We have out secret rituals but we are not as secret as the Masons. Each lodge does things a little different.

ioof.org is a good website that explains it well. OddFellows is the "mens" side and the Rebekahs is the "womens" side. Men and women can join either or both.

DD is on her way to the hospital. Hopefully, I will have a grandson this time tomorrow. But here is the cool part. Grandson will be named after my son in laws favorite uncle. They are very very close. Baby will share first, middle, and last name with uncle.

And Uncle's birthday is tomorrow. How cool is that?

Way cool!

Today is a beautiful day! I am just about to start my last final for this semester and then I will be done for two weeks!

We had a great weekend in DC. We went to the International Spy Museum, lunched at Hill Country Market BBQ, went to the Naval Reserve Museum and then the Smithsonian of Natural History. The Butterfly Exhibit that I wanted to see closed 5 minutes before we got there. But DH got to see the T-Rex.

The laying of the wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a great experience. There was a decent turnout this year. Here is a pic of most of the wreaths that the Odd Fellows laid and a pic of the ceremony we had at the Amphitheater. We filled about 1/3 of the Amphitheater

Wow. I didn't know the t-rex exhibit was open already. They were supposed to close the Dinosaur hall for 5 years....I'll have to take the boys down.

She's almost 39 weeks. And she can't breathe. Literally, she cannot fill up her lungs. She's 4'9" and he's looking at weighing about 8 pounds. I just really want him here so she can be comfortable again...

Were the contractions not progressing?

Ohfour, I hope she told them this. I told the first set of nurses and doctors and they gave me a breathing apparatus. They wouldn't even listen with a stethoscope, just assumed the babies were pushing on my lungs. But I knew there was fluid in my lungs, I could feel it. I waited until the staff changed and told someone else and she took a listen, and all hell broke loose getting me into the OR before I died. Pulmonary edema on top of my pre-eclampsia.

Not trying to scare you, but I would find out if they listened to her with a stethoscope.

Holy moly, that must have been scary, FNW!

I hope it's not that! cry

So I'm still watching Interstellar...Have you seen it, NJN?

I didn't expect to cry so many times! DS1 loved the movie, so I've been texting him. His latest text: "Stop crying, you pansy."

That's my boy...

She did listen to her with a stethoscope, thank goodness. The baby is just taking up all her room and she can't get her lungs fully inflated. I would think that would be a good reason to go ahead and induce, but I guess not. Now, mind you, I'm not one of those that's all about the inducing, but it can't be good for the baby if she can't breathe. And he's pretty much full term...

Yep. You know I've seen EVERYTHING! It was very sad. I wanted him to come out of the book case. That's all I'll say. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for him to fly out.

Everyone sounds like they are so productive. It makes me sound like a total slacker. I slept 11 hours. I was so exhausted. I can't even describe it. But that may have been the key. I don't feel all achy now. And my rash has amazingly gone down. They have gone from huge red blotches to small red spots with a bite looking thing in the middle. I spent a hundred dollars on bed bug stuff yesterday and didn't use it. I'm going to return it because I don't think that was what it was at all. I think it was a reaction to something I ate or came in contact with. I have no idea what but it's going away so I'm not going to the doctor. I'm just going to leave it alone and watch it. Maybe the shot helped some. I'm not itching hardly at all.

And I woke up this morning and checked on my appointment with my pain doctor. Apparently I made it for five weeks later and he only wrote me four weeks of pain pills. They won't call in refills. No way, no how. So I had to reschedule my appointment to tomorrow.

You guys all have such good news! I have nothing to report. Can I just steal all your stories for my made up pretend real life? biggrin

RE: Interstellar

I didn't cry until the end. Some parts made me sad, but I didn't REALLY cry until the end.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

It didn't sound like my type of movie but maybe I need to rethink this if everyone is crying at the end.

Lexxy, It's actually very well made. And it's interesting. I didn't think I would like it either, but G REALLY wanted to see it. We rented it last weekend. We both liked it.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I didn't think I would like it either. I rented it for DH. Some parts were a bit boring. But when they tie it all together!

Vette · Owl drink to that!

Today has gone by so fast! Only two more hours of work! I didn't get nearly enough done!

I have a long day today, so I won't be able to finish the movie until tonight, NJN. I don't think I've gotten to that part yet.
