Day 49: Holy F-Bombs

The title says it all.  Those are the only words that fill my brain when I have my back pain/contractions. It's stupid that the doctors keep telling me to "time them."  Ummm, I don't think that's necessary when they're not consistent and I've been having them for almost an entire month!  It was so hard to sleep last night because I was in such anguish.  All day today it's been miserable.

Dad and I (and Puck) went to Heights today to check on the yard and house.  I had to take an ice pack to lean against for the car ride.  I told my dad that it helps about 55%, which isn't too bad, but not that great either.  It just makes being in a car that long bearable.

Dad mowed the yard and edged, though the weed eater kept dying when he'd turn it to edge, so he didn't edge everything.  Then he checked all the sprinklers -- the "main" one up front wasn't working.  By that, I mean that it wouldn't rotate.  We tried to get it to work for an hour... put CLR on it and messed with parts, but no luck.  So at 1530, we went to Lowe's and got a replacement head, as well as another entire sprinkler, in case we have future problems... considering this one only lasted 3-4 months?!

He fixed the sprinklers and adjusted all the timers, while I got everything from inside together.  We put the box that one guy mailed us into the third bedroom.  I tore up the check that I gave to the neighbors and they gave back, though he did NOT put the garage door opener back, as I had asked him, too.  Needless to say, it makes my mom nervous knowing that this guy is unhappy and that he can get into our garage... and I think the house because I can't remember if I locked the door to the laundry room.  :(
I may ask Danielle to run by his house and get the GDO and check the laundry room door, then leave the GDO in the truck or on the grill.

Anyway, we didn't head back until 1630.  Dad stopped at Sonic so I could get a cold slush, as I had been way too hot all day.  He got a chocolate malt.  We got home at 1800 and ate Quiznos for dinner, that my mom had picked up.  I love Quiznos!

After dinner, my back was hurting, so I stayed home and watched tv laying down while they went to see a movie.  We chatted for a bit when they got home and now it's bedtime.

Ty's net was down today, but he texted me from his Afghani phone, which was nice.  I just wish I could text back!  But he texted me at 1830 to tell me he loves me and that he's going on a mission.  I miss him so much.
