This next week should be interesting. Maybe not to you guys, but to me. I’m very lucky that Brady had a short break in his schedule, and will be home for a few days!! This opens a few doors for us to get a small handful of things done around here. After the rocky weeks of sickness, headaches, and then finding out we’d lost our sweet baby, time has flown, and it seems as thought we’ve been down and out in one way or another all winter. We had SO MANY goal for winter, none of which were accomplished. We feel like this is a tiny window of opportunity, and we’re hoping to get a start on one or two things, anyway.
First of all, and most importantly, I have an ultrasound tomorrow morning. I know, I’ve had a handful recently. This is likely my last one, and it will hopefully confirm that all remnants and tissues from our baby are gone and out of my body. While this is a weird thing to hope for, the reality is that if I do still have pieces left in there, I’ll end up in the hospital anyway, having to get them removed. I’ve been trying to avoid that this whole time, so tomorrow is sort of “moment of truth-ish.” If you would, please do pray that my body has done its job, and that I can be free and clear of any risks or infections.
After that morning appointment, we have to make another appointment, but this one to get our phones fixed. We had an appointment to get our phones put through the recall program, and it all kind of happened right in the middle of us finding out we’d lost Theo. The batteries arrived well on time, early last week, but things were very up in the air for us, and we couldn’t be making any unnecessary time commitments. Now, we’re in the position to get that all taken care of, so we’re fitting that in tomorrow.
I’m not sure how much more we’ll fit into the next two days, but we have a few projects to finish around the house. Un-squeak all the doors and poly the garage (since we insulated it before Christmas.) Those are the current priorities. But on top of that, I want the great purge to begin. I feel like we purged our stuff like crazy with all of our moves last year, so if it just turns out to the great organization, thats good too. But I want to purge as much as we can, and reorganize and distribute the rest as best as we can, so we can be as prepared as possible to get going on our basement! There will be some stuff living down there as we finish it. Its just reality. But the less we have to move and work around, the better! I’ve already gone through a few smaller sections of stuff we have boxed up. Sadly, its mostly boxed back up and put back downstairs, but we got rid of what we could, and the rest is at least ultra-organized.
Thursday and Friday won’t be too eventful, but we’re hoping to make all of our appointments, accomplish a ton, rest, AND get Brady better in the next three days. Oh, and ideally, we’d come out of them still liking each other. Wish us luck!!
