Hi All,

Didn't mean to be a tease about my appt and I am still planning on posting about it but my life continues to be an "interesting" series of events. Just came from the doctor's and I have a bad sinus infection ( actually running a low grade fever) and my asthma is flaring up, so I'm going to use my nebullizer, down industrial strength antibiotics and take to my bed. We're having a graduation party for my daughter at my house this Saturday with over 100 invited guests. My husband, although he has done considerable food prep, will not be there because he's being sequestered at his job for four days at a time because the union went out on strike and they're trying to minimize how often non-union people have to cross the picket line. So I seriously need to be a fully functioning death star by Saturday, so I really need to rest. Be back once my head no longer feels like an overinflated balloon.

On the upside my life is becoming a very effective teaching tool in terms of learning to express my needs and allowing other people to help me. Wish I was a little quicker on the uptake.

Feel better soon, AG! And good luck with the party this weekend. Sounds like fun. I hope you're feeling like a 'death star'!

((((hugs)))) to you, AG. I'm sorry your H is stuck at work right now when you've had so much going on. I hope you are feeling better soon and all the party prep goes smoothly. Good for you allowing other people to help! That is so hard. We're all here whenever this busy season calms down for you and you are rested and recharged!

Aw AG,

Sending you many get well hugs and strengthening thoughts to be better by the weekend,

Oh dear, AG... So sorry to hear you are not feeling well and with the party this weekend and so much to do. Definitely accept all offers of help and get as much rest as you possibly can. Not sure why you want to be a "death star" but in my book you are a "rock star" and I know the party will be a raging success if you are there.

Sending you hugs and virtual chicken soup.

Feel better soon, AG! Glad to hear you're making progress on the whole "asking for help" thing.

(((AG))) So sorry you are feeling so yucky. I hope you feel better soon and the party goes off without a hitch!

(((AG))) I hope you're getting some rest right now and are feeling better for the party!

((((AG)))))

Sorry to hear about your infection and that your husband is being sequestered. Interesting how life can throw this stuff at you but you are using it as an opportunity to grow. Hope you feel better and that the party is a huge success.

(((((((AG))))))) You already have plenty of chicken soup so I will send you hot tea and toast. I hope the strike ends quickly, that you kick the sinus infection soon, and that your daughter's party is a blast.

Much love,
SG

Feel better AG!! Hope the party is a smash!!

Hope the party is going well and you are feeling much better by now too. Enjoy!





.....eeeerrrm not sure about the 'dad dancing' though, sure you'll do a better job

Thank you all so much! Just popping in to say that the party was a smashing success, I did manage to accept help and found out the wonderful fact that I have a lot of very wonderful friends. I felt very blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life and I felt very loved. It was worth the stress.

Unfortunately, the party fairies did NOT come to clean up last night, so I'm off to do the honors. And in other good news, there's a new contract up for a vote, which is highly likely to pass, so the strike should be over by the end of the week, which means my husband will actually be living at our house again.

So I am hoping to actually be back to posting soon.



Also want to say a belated welcome to all the new posters!

AG

Thanks for the update AG! So glad to hear the party was a success, and that you were able to accept help from your friends!

Good luck with clean up, and with getting your hubby back from the grips of contract negotiations!

Yeah AG! Glad the party was terrific!! Hubby back home must be great too!
