I have an N
My mom went out and bought a new keyboard today so I’m very happy. My finger didn’t fit in the N hole very well. I know that sounds wrong.
My back is still out, but doing slightly better. The neighbor had muscle relaxers, so I took half of one. I was worried about it with breastfeeding, but just waited until she was down for the night and I wouldn’t be feeding her for several hours. A full dose is two pills, but meds always knock me for a loop. I felt like my body was just a big bag of jelly, but at least it was major relief from the pain.
I seriously hope this bad back is better by Thursday (or sooner). I went shopping for a funereal outfit* and it just about killed me. This is a small, economically depressed town. There are literally three stores that carry plus-sized clothing: Wal-Mart, Fred Meyer and Ross Dress for Less. Fred Meyer used to have a decent selection, but it was really pathetic today. I finally found a black top and a pair of black dockers that will be ok. I wanted a skirt, but there was not a single black skirt or black dress in the women’s section.
The nearest “big town” is over an hour away. My life on the east coast has left me complacent. I can get just about anything I want via the internet or with a little bit of travel. I’ve forgotten just how frustrating it is to need something and have no way of getting it.
My mom is throwing Erik a birthday party.
Go ahead and ponder that for a few minutes. I’m still pondering it. His birthday is October 13.
She’s got the cake ordered, party favors purchased, pinata stuffed, and all that jazz. The cousins are the only invitees, so at least it is going to be a small affair. I don’t really understand but oh well. Grandma’s priviledge I guess. I don’t know if Erik is going to be excited or confused. Probably both.
Other than the bad back and funereal we’re having a really relaxing vacation. Erik and the cousins are all getting along great. Mike is enjoying not thinking about work. I’m enjoying watching the kids play outside in the much cooler weather. Good stuff. Nothing much to write about since it is all going so well. My mom had a big talk with my sister about bringing ten million kids over here, so it is much more relaxing than last time I was here.
*The funereal is for an old family friend. Not someone I actually know that well, but I do need to go since I’m in town.
