I had a rough time sleeping last night. Eis woke up at 0330 and went back to sleep at 0400, but I couldn't go back to sleep until 0500. Ugh. My brain just wouldn't stop whirring and rambling.
We left at 0930 for the doctor and stopped by Starbucks on the way. I got a soy pumpkin spice frapp and they gave it to me without a straw or sleeve, so I walked over to the "sugar bar" to get those items. My mom got my straw and I picked a sleeve out of the bin of sleeves and slipped it onto my drink. I took a few sips and thought that maybe it wasn't soy. I looked down at the sleeve and saw that it said "Jeff" and had no markings in the "milk" box.
I immediately became worried that I stole someone's drink! I looked around and tried to remember who was in line in front of us or if someone was waiting for their drink. We went up to the counter to ask the barista if she'd used soy in the drink, but as I put it on the counter, reality slowly sank in... I had my mom hold the sleeve, so I could pull my cup out of it. There on my cup, it said "soy" and "no whip!" I started cracking up because I felt so dumb. I had to explain to my mom that it was ME who had picked up the sleeve and put it on my drink and it was the sleeve that said "Jeff," not my drink... Ay ay ay!

The doctor was great. We agreed on what we wanted to do to help manage my pain. He gave me three lidocaine shots in each trap and referred me to physical therapy. I have to call Tricare in a day or so and ask them if the referral went through them or if it was just given to me -- I don't want to to PT and it not be covered by insurance!
After we finished at the doctor, we drove over to Camp Mabry to enroll Eis in DEERS. I was shocked at how quick it was. I was also surprised because the DEERS website says all these things I need, but I didn't at the place! It was only a matter of minutes before I was done.
I dropped my mom off at the PX while I nursed Eis in the car and figured out where to eat lunch. We decided to go to Quack's 43St. Bakery. We split a croque monsieur panini and got some cupcakes. I know I shouldn't have had one, but I was craving one more than I'd craved anything in a loooong time. I got a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting -- it was deeeeelish.
We headed home after that and I took a short nap.

To backtrack...
When Eisley woke up at 0630 and I put her on the change pad to change her diaper before nursing her. I took her diaper off, set her on it, wiped her down, then put a clean diaper under her. I tossed the dirty diaper and put lotion on my finger to put on her bum, but as I approached, she started pooping. I quickly retracted my hand and closed the diaper. I figured I should let her finish pooping, so I stepped back and waited. Eventually she began to cry, so I assumed she was done.
I undid the new diaper, wiped her with it, then sat her on it. However, as I grabbed a wipe, she lifted up her tooshie and poop shot out! It was flying toward the bookshelves, but I was not quick enough to pull back my arm, so the flow was stopped by my arm :(
Needless to say, I was totally grossed out and Eisley thought it was great. I used the wipe to clean off my arm and Eisley's feet, since they'd been sprayed a bit, then I tossed the diaper and folded up the diaper cloth she'd been laying on. Luckily, she didn't get any poo on her gown, so I didn't have to change that. As soon as I had her all cleaned up and a new diaper on her, I went and cleaned my hands and arms with Dawn dish detergent. She nursed, then I headed back to sleep.
How totally gross, right?!
