My mom was at the doctor (for her creepy hands) and my dad was playing golf. I again made some delicious cinnamon raisin toast and had a small glass of "milk." I think I'll wait at least a month or so after I have Eisley before trying real milk again. I'm in no hurry to feel like crap.
Anyway, I got dressed. Took Puck to poop, then came in and read a book I began last night: The Girl Who Played with Fire. I realized today that it's the second in a series of three (I can't remember the word for "series of three"), but it's good and I don't care too much to find the first book and start over.
After we finished, my mom dropped me off at the post office while she returned something to SteinMart. I was second in line at the post office, but the couple in front of me had a million and one questions. Most of my energy and will was zapped while waiting for them to stop talking and leave. Naturally, once it was my turn, I was out in a matter of 80 seconds or so.
We had to make a pit-stop at People's Pharmacy so my mom could turn in a prescription for some meds for her hands. She'd never used People's before, but the med could only be compounded there or something. Needless to say, they said it would take at least 24 hours and they didn't know how much it would cost... weird.
We were going to stop by the library, but my mom didn't like any of the parking spots, so we went on to the mall. I had $43 to Dillard's from a baby shower gift I'd returned for allergy reasons. While on the way, I decided that maybe I should buy some flip-flops, instead of something for the baby. The baby has a lot of stuff and I haven't had flip-flops in about four years... if not longer. I looked at some Reefs, but they were not quite right, nor was the selection huge. I checked out some Sanuks, which were pretty, but then I saw some Clarks. The clarks were gorgeous and had great arch support, but before I could pay, I saw some that were a bit more "metallic" and would go with more of my dresses... They felt great on my feet, so I went to pay. Wouldn't you know, the gift that was purchased for me was $39.99 +tax and the shoes were the EXACT same price, so I didn't owe a penny, nor did I get a penny back! It was great.
We decided since we were at the mall that we should go to A Pea in the Pod to check out the Sleepy Wrap (like a Moby Wrap) and as we walked there, I mentioned dropping by Williams Sonoma, as we have $ there, too. We found the Sleepy Wrap immediately and purchased a grey one -- black seemed too hot. Then headed toward Williams Sonoma. However, as we made our way over, I got a text from Tyler! It was nice to get to chat with him, but the rest of me was losing patience quickly. My body was aching, my feet were tired, I was hot, I didn't want to buy something from WS without Ty there, my voice was echoing in my head cause my stupid right ear was being dumb... I asked if we could leave soon enough, so I wouldn't morph into superbitch.
I chatted with Ty the whole walk through the mall, plus the drive home (my mom drove, don't worry). He was exhausted and falling asleep, so I let him go once we got home. My mom then told me to go lay down and get some ear drops and we'd try that. I laid down and she put the drops in and I stayed there for about 10 minutes before turning over and letting them trickle out onto a kleenex. I think I stayed in bed for another 30-40 just playing hangman, at which I am TERRIBLE. I saw my dad head out to the pool and decided my mom and I should do the same.
We stayed in the pool until about 1715, which was a bit over an hour and a half. I swam with the kickboard for exercise and chatted with my folks about various things. My mom went in at 1645 to start on dinner. I picked up my things and headed in 30 minutes later. I had an appetizer of 6 grapes and cheese in toothpicks, then I made her a piña colada before I went to my room to read my book.
We were called to dinner at 1830 -- it was baked new potatoes, meatloaf, and onion. I know the taters are the only thing Ty would have liked, but I thought it was all delicious. The meatloaf was so tasty and the onion was crazy. She peeled an onion, cut off the top and bottom, dug out a space in the center, then added a beef bullion cube and butter, then microwaved it for 8 minutes! It was so flavorful and yummy!!
I wrote some thank you cards after dinner, copied my hospital bag list in my mom's spiral, and got quizzed about labor, breathing, and breastfeeding.
I'm trying to stay on top of everything and do what I can while I am able. My mom keeps saying she doesn't know how I'm gonna make it another month cause I look like I'm gonna pop, but I don't know how I'm gonna make it another month cause my body is so miserably sore.
Tomorrow I am getting a massage at 1500, which is 0030 Ty's time. Hopefully I'll get to text with him before then or he shoots me an email. We are also going to try to go to Target and Babies R Us to do a few more errands. I've not been driving to our errands in case I hear from Ty and also cause it's quite uncomfortable.
Here's a pic of part of the clutter that was happening a few days ago:
