It's been a while since my last post! More than a week... I've been pretty busy. Memorial Day Weekend, we hung around the city on Saturday and did lots of walking... My feet have NEVER hurt that much before. I'm used to walking alot but we basically walked across the entire city and I thought I was going to fall over when we got home. My tootsies have never been so sore and swollen...
On Sunday we packed a bag (which included my snoogle) and hopped on horrible NJ transit to go see our friends G and M in Sea Girt, NJ (the beach!!) I needed to get out of the city... It's been a while since I've gone anywhere and despite my concerns about sitting on a train when I pee every 15 minutes and being sick and not at home, G's family and house feels like a second home to me... We're very close to his parents and knew that if we were staying at their house I would be well taken care of and comfortable! It's always well stocked with food and has all of the comforts I enjoy at home! After a long train ride (where I made sure to eat constantly) we arrived in the Girt... I swear, the air is just better down there! It's so nice. My hub, G and M all decided that a day of drinking and eating at local marinas and beach restaurants was in order so I played designated driver as we just bopped from place to place enjoying the sun, seafood and beach air. We bbq'd that night (the produce down there is pretty amazing also - veggie kabobs!!) and then we all enjoyed Sunday sundae's and went to bed. I slept great (it's very nice that they have a king sized bed for us .... between my belly and my snoogle, I take up more room than ever before and there's no way hubby and i would both fit in anything less than a queen!) When we woke up, we had a great breakfast, went for some Strollos (the best italian ice ever) and then headed back to the city.
Last week was pretty busy... I felt good (no puking, though I did take some kytril). I had a ton of work to do, so that really consumed me... This week is my last full time week of work before I scale back my time and begin working fewer hours and more from home, so I'm trying to get as much done as possible... The whole "scaling back" thing is a bit tough for me... I don't want to let certain things go AND I also don't want to be bored... So, I have a few more days to figure out my game plan and luckily both of my clients have been so wonderful and flexible about my situation. They know that I won't let anything fall through the cracks....
Hubby and I really want to take a trip before Brady is born but things have been so volatile with me getting sick, that we're a bit afraid to be anywhere but home. Unfortunately, one of my nearest and dearest relatives is extremely ill and suffering from lung, pancreatic and liver cancer. She lives in California and I really want to see her before the baby is born. The doctor says I can travel but I'm worried to... Can I live without all of my creature comforts for a few days? Would I even need to? Will I be uncomfortable traveling for all of that time? Cali is far. BUT, if she passes and I don't get to see her, I will be pretty upset. And we have to decide soon because prices are going up.
