Life lately.

Yesterday I was super nauseous and I was going back and forth on whether to call in to work or not (we have to decide by 1pm). I decided I could probably make it through work, but then at 1:15 I got way more sick, I put myself on the cut list but then when I got to work I knew I wasn't even going to make it that long.  Someone had anti-nausea medicine (such a miracle since I was still trying to get my md to give me a prescription over the phone).  I called my charge nurse and the staffing office at 3:30 (I had been at work for 30 minutes) and told them I couldn't stay.  They got me a replacement at 4:30, thank goodness because I couldn't take care of my patients. It took all my energy to walk somewhere.  I came home and slept all afternoon, tried to drink but was nauseous. Temp went up to 102.2 in the middle of the night, finally my fever broke at like 4am and if felt better.  Today I ate for the first time in 24 hours (after taking anti nausea meds) and I am feeling ok. Hopefully I can go to work tomorrow! 

On a happier note, last week Paul and I were supposed to go crabbing, so when I got home from work the night before I packed a lunch because we were supposed to leave at 7:30am.  Paul went to work early, and didn't end up getting home till after 8:30, we needed to get gas and chicken still and we would barely make high tide so we decided to scratch crabbing and just hang out at the house. 

We went to the river for lunch and it was absolutely wonderful!  The blanket looks super small in the picture but we both fit on it, really. :)

Sandy beached river bed, one of my new favorite things and it is only like 7 minutes from our house. I asked Paul why I never knew about this before!

Eric knows where we hide his toys!  Little twerp can dig under the couch cushions to get his most coveted toys. Cats are smarter than we give them credit for. 

I went to Ikea to get my friend a wedding present and I spotted this awesome organizing container.  I thought I was going to use it for tea but then I had the great idea of using it for washi tape.  I loveee how it stores it all so nicely! 

Here is my friends wedding present, I had so much fun wrapping it!  Washi tape, bakers twine, lace and fun paper. No way to go wrong there! 

On Monday we helped my brother move into his dorm at UW.  It was a super rushed trip because my mom had to get back over the pass before 6:30 because there was going to be 2+ hours of rock blasting.  My mom had wanted to take Paul and I out to dinner,  but gave us dinner money instead because she had to bounce.  We took that dinner money seriously and went out to vietnamese food and it was super yummy!  Best thing was it is only 10 minutes from our house. 

Have you ever seen more condiments in your life! 

Then we got milkshakes at Pick Quik, I got raspberry and Paul got butterfinger. So super yummy!

This place is so cute and retro.

Eleanor being a super goof, a surgeon and his crazy shoes, my artichoke lunch one day, and my amazing mpg (I love resetting the avg mpg when I am coasting down a hill after getting gas). :) 

And this is what I have been up to the last 2 days.  Laying in bed with this boy.  Yesterday I couldn't do anything besides curl up in a ball.  Today I have the energy to be on the computer, read, watch tv, eat a few crackers and a litter ginger ale and powerade.  Oh and I also started a load in the diswasher, a load in the washer, scooped the cat box, and showered.  I call that a miracle.  And probably not another productive thing will happen today.
