With chocolate.

Monday
Bed last night at 11. Wide awake this morning at 5:45. Couldn't sleep. Up at 6:30.
FOR NO REASON! (let's not forget that I'm NOT a morning person)
I made a Chai, cut one of the cat's nails and then sat at the table with some paperwork.
A couple more Chai's before 8
MCT oil shot at 9

10 am: MAJOR DRAGON STARVATION ATTACK!
I ate some chocolate (wtf? in the morning??)
I made a 2 egg scramble with mushrooms, cheese and bacon
I ate a cream cloud
I ate the rest of the sea salt dark chocolate bar
I had a "hot chocolate" (whipping cream, hot water, cocao, dark chocolate chips, cacao nibs, a maple syrup)
11:45: I finally finished
Then I felt blah...gee, I wonder why???

I photocopied the 30+ medical receipts from Surfer Son's near drowning and called the insurance company for more info.
I sorted, cropped and re-sized some food photos from the Europe trip. I haven't uploaded them yet.

3:45: Daughter had her phone pre-admit interview.
4 pm: I gave Daughter the acceptance letter for the University she really wanted to go to. She cried. It was SO sweet
4:30: Play practice
6: Play production meeting

A bowl of home made chicken veggie soup. A cream cloud, a slice of dried mango. A hot chocolate/Bengal Spice tea.
Band was cancelled, icy, rainy, yucky weather.

9:45. I'm tired and going to bed.
How long will it take to switch my body's clock back??

Surfer Son was asking about the neurologist apt. today. We still haven't heard anything.

He said that he's still having short term memory problems.

I'm no Dr., but what he described sounds more like executive function issues.
He says when someone asks him a question he has to think before he can answer.
He also will ask a question and then re ask it a few minutes later.

I think I'll try to contact the Dr we saw when he came home, to see what's happening.
If I have no luck tomorrow, I'll try again Wednesday.
I took him to the same hospital that Daughter's going to have her surgery at tomorrow.

He may have to retrain parts of his brain that were deprived of oxygen - but quite frankly, if that is the only long term sequelae then he is truely blessed!

What she said. A visit with the neurologist is definitely in order.

As for adjusting to time zone changes, the standard is that the body takes 24 hours per time zone change to fully adapt. So if it was a 6 hour time change to home, it may take 6 days to feel totally sorted out. Sad, but true.

And regarding your Dragon, I'm guessing you had a few sweet indulgences while in Europe, I mean, who the hell wouldn't? That, plus the fatigue and throwing in the stresses of dealing again with insurance paperwork and how Surfer Son is doing makes perfect sense for a well timed Dragon attack. Tomorrow is another day. You have slayed the Dragon before, this is apparently a new, baby dragon. You are stronger .

A BABY Dragon! Who can slay a baby Dragon? You'll need to keep it around a bit, feed it treats, raise it up. Then, when it's a cranky teenage Dragon, Wham!

[Pedidoc]

Or a lippy 9 year old..........just saying.

[Candy in Wonderland]

Hmmm, you got the dragon back around the time it left me...I think it flew from Belgium to Barcelona and got on the plain with you!

Nice shopping .

While we were waiting at the hospital today, I went down to emerg to find out why we hadn't heard from the neurologist yet. The receptionist did some digging and found out that Surfer Son's apt is JULY 19th! (While we are going to be in Scotland) I think July is TOO long! Ii think I'll have to call and see if I can get it moved up. I know he's not a serious/acute case, BUT July?

great

How'd you know??

I'm not going to thank you for returning it...

Nice shopping .

It was a tough job, but someone's gotta do it
