Hi friends! I need some support

If you fear about you and your husband's well being, definitely say no! I hope the rest of your trip goes as smoothly as possible

It very much sounds like you don't want to go to your aunt's, and I don't blame you!! I wouldn't either! My opinion, for what it's worth, is that it would only exacerbate the travelling issues, and likely be triggering (or at least upsetting). You've got enough on your plate as it is.

It's your decision of course(!), but if we were voting (), I'd vote no.

Is your dog doing better? How are you faring?

Sirius hasn’t had anymore diarrhea thankfully, he did eat a bit of food tonight finally.

I’m just a very agitated irritated bytch right now! But my acting skills are on point , as always.

I know I sound like a bytch. But my pain is insane and I feel so so ill. I’m doing the best I can.

Gah I hate this for you. I’m
Sorry I fell asleep on you last night.

good morning!!!

Hi Christina. I, too, hope you will have a nice morning.

P.S. My uncle used to have a dog named Sirius.

Oh, good dog! I wonder if he is sympathetic and his diarrhea was psyosomatic.? I hope everything settles down for a few days now and you get at least one day to just chill.

Just a note of interest: Sirius is also the brightest star in the summer. It is of the constellation Canis Major, Big Dog!I
I have also heard Sirius called: the Dog Star!!

Maybe someone can correct or expand upon this. I am betting our Scooter can tell us more!!!

Hey everyone !!!! I got 6 hours of sleep so people are much safer if they are around me for a lil while at least today LOL !

I actually named my Dog .....Sirius Black ....after a character from Harry Potter ! Hes a black dog !! Lol

I didn’t know there were some much other stuff about his name !!! So cool I will be checking it out for sure.

Amanda is picking me up after work , I need a hair cut bad. Hubby has his part one reunion tonight at 5 to whenever.

This trip is truly kicking my fat butt.

I am using every tool possible to help manage it .. it’s not really the “ Bipolar” bit it’s the pain /feeling so ill aspect that’s the real issue.

I know I know ... Christina !!!!! just shut up already !!!! Get a grip woman !

Hope you all have a good day !

Oh no you don't, nobody here is telling you to shut up! Yap away. Oh Sirius Black was one of my favorite characters in the Harry Potter books, movie too.

Please keep talking. I'm sorry you feel so bad.

I think you are doing an incredible job in a really tough situation. Thinking of you.

Hello Gorgeous! Nice haircut!!!
I hope you have had some FUN tonight, if even for just a moment.

We are all here for you!

love ya!

At the Birthday party for Payton ! Omg house is bulging with people and omg they are so loud !

Amanda should be rescuing me in about an hour! Can’t happen fast enough !

Then it’s pedicure and Mellow Mushroom time, then just back to the hotel to lay around yakking.

Hubby has his reunion dinner tonight. He had a great time last night.

I’m exhausted maybe 3 hours of sleep. I’m so sick of being so ill !

Enjoy your day ! Hugs to everyone!

Sending MANY, MANY good vibrations, ~Christina! Thinkinf of You and your WONDERFUL Family!

Soothing vibes sent your way. So glad you have Amanda to come rescue you.

Its really great of you to go to the party considering how you're feeling. You have the spirit of a true Grandmother. I hope you enjoy the pedi and pizza outing!

So after stuffing our faces with pizza and Greek salad I literally waddled into what we consider the best mani and pedi place around.

Amanda treated herself to Gel nails and I got a pedicure. It’s such a soothing place, I always set the massage chair to most gentle setting, very warm bubbling water and my feet and legs were very happy being pampered.

We just came back to the hotel room and laid down, yakking and watching random videos on YouTube.

I’m legit forcing myself to stay awake in hopes I’ll sleep through the night.

I sent Amanda home so she could take a nap before going out later tonight.

Hubby went to reunion dinner, he wanted to blow it off but I said well you “already paid a lot “ for that meal lol he went, but I’m sure he will be back anytime.

Tomorrow we are spending more time with Payton, Amanda will be picking me up later afternoon so I can meet her girlfriend for dinner..

We head north Monday morning.... just this family portion of the trip has worn me down so much BUT the staying with friends is what is really going to become a much bigger struggle. Here I have a hotel room to go back to , alone time and just hubby and I time.

I will just have to excuse myself as much as I need , either for time alone or to lose myself online etc...

The weather since we got here has been just straight up rain practically every hour but always dense clouds so not hella blazing hot, but that’s all changing after tomorrow, back to Florida heat and humidity of August and September and friends that keep ac on 80.

Yeah so ummm yeah.

My Dogs lodged a complaint today ... they needed to go out and sat at the door and I picked up there leashes and said .. ok boys come here , they looked at me with big sad eyes , ears down and tails tucked as they slowly came to me. So they are no longer pleased either , they have a huge pasture to run and do there business in at home. . Ugh poor guys.

Thinking of you!

ME TOO! Hugs x

The pedicure sounds so nice! I'm glad you are treating yourself to some pleasures.

Day by day you are indeed getting through this vacation trip.

Hugs to you, Christina!

Well it’s very doubtful I’ll see my daughter today as she’s got a migraine and got sick and is needing her zero light totally quiet room.

Tomorrow is when the hell really begins for me ...on this trip.

We head to our friends, the solid rain since we have been here has kept the hellish heat and humidity at bay but is flooding right back in tomorrow.

Taking my dogs out today I have to have both leashes on one wrist as I need the other hard to use the card to unlock the door , well they lunged hard and fast out the door and I have a very sprained wrist. Sure brought tears to my eyes. I took Feldene hopefully it will bring down the inflammation.

I offered to meet my aunt at a fast food place on our way north and hope they have a few trees we can park under , so the dogs can stay in the car. She’s not responded yet, maybe she’s mad at my suggestion? Oh well... I’m being pushed to my limits on this entire trip so too bad !

I need cheese with all my whine !!!!!

Hugs and cookies to everyone ~

Here's some Gruyere and tomato basil cheese! oft da dogs can be enthusiastic. Hope it heals fast. Yeah I can understand the dreaded heat and your friends not dipping below 80. I don't do well in heat either.

Ohhhhhh yummmy!!!!!! Thank you

Well we are at our friends house , great to see them, got here about Mid day.

I am beyond exhausted and feeling so ill. It’s as expected , very stuffy here.

Alice again asked me to go horse back riding and I said I just can’t risk it , even if I just fall off at a walk I’m going to really get hurt or even break a bone, I just won’t.

So she said ... there’s virtually nothing you can do is there ??? ( that kind of stung) I said I have be so exhausted for months and no idea what’s wrong.

No there isn’t much I can do, I’m always just burning up , I now notice my balance is getting bad again. I get SOB easily , even with my asthma meds but this is hellish hot humid Florida , hubby is struggle with breathing also.

Maybe unknown heart attack? It can happen, or the adnoma on my pitiutary gland is growing ??

I dont know.

Steve and I feel like we are coming down with something. If so , we are going home. He’s going to work on George’s tractor tomorrow. Hopefully it won’t be too hard on him.

He just said tonight we can head home Friday ! Let’s hope that will actually happen, he said it last time and we were here for 3 weeks.

So at least I have something to look forward too. He is realizing I’m truly too sick to stay for 2-3 weeks.

I’d hate to get bronchitis while away from home that’s for sure !

My dogs did get some off leash time in there horse pasture. So I’m happy about that, they needed that, off they both would vote to go home tomorrow if they would

Hugs!
