I need a vacation from the weekend…

I went out to lunch on Friday to nice Italian restaurant. Since I continue to have frequent spells of protein aversion I opted for the cheese ravioli with a creamy tomato sauce. For a starter I had a house salad of wintergreens with vinaigrette and a sprinkle of walnuts. There was also warm flatbread with a parsley pesto spread. Ok, I remember this meal because it both tasted wonderful and made me feel terrible. A few hours after returning to work I had to run to the bathroom every 15 to 20 minutes until I decided to just camp out in the bathroom. I called the hubs to pick up G, and warned him that I’d stay at work until I thought I could survive the (1-2 hour) commute home. I finally started to feel a little better and was able to drive myself home around 6 pm.  Did very little that night and went to sleep as soon as I could. The next morning we took G to dance class where we get to see Grammy. This time I missed watching the girls since I couldn’t handle standing for longer than a minute at a time. However, we were able to enjoy a breakfast from Einstein Bagels afterward. Then we headed home where I took a long (maybe 2 or 3 hours) nap. I woke up feeling exhausted and sore. I ate some more and continued to rest. I started to feel better in time for our date. While G spent time at Nana’s, we went downtown for my first live/in-person basketball game. It was so much better in person then on TV. Anyway, because I got to sit almost the entire time and had a cute refreshment delivery boy (husband) I stayed feeling pretty good.  I have to admit I actually enjoyed myself; there was constant entertainment. We headed home at a decent time, but stayed up talking and finally hit the hay around 2 or 3 am. The next morning we slept in. Though we both felt rough, we dragged ourselves out of bed to start the run around. First we picked G up, then we dropped her off at Grand-mama’s, then hit the pharmacy, went to a nice lunch at the Grand Lux where I could only stomach a salad and dessert. Afterward, G got some daddy time while I went grocery shopping for just under 3 hours. Then we dropped off groceries at my mom’s then our house and circled back to Boompa’s and Nana’s to visit. There I fell asleep (no surprise).  We made it home by midnight or so. I went to bed. We had MLKjr day off so we got to sleep in until G woke us up. G and I took it easy while daddy had to work a little. After the doctor we went to lunch where I ate my entire meal, protein and all. G was calm and ate her food with minimal prompting and before we left used another public bathroom. We briefly saw Grammy then stopped by Walgreens to purchase another brace (which G now calls a BIG Band-Aid) for my carpal tunnel before heading home where we started our office cleaning project. (Sigh) I am so very tired.
