It's Been a Long Two Weeks

We are nearing the end of the two-week break between school and Liberty's day camp for autism. I feel as though I've been in a daze, just kind of sleepwalking through the days. Mercury went retrograde and when that happens, we always feel like we are backpeddling. It's supposed to be a good time to mend nets so to speak, tidy up, and put things in order until the energy gets moving again. My ability to do that was impaired when I hurt my back last week. Too much stress going on. Happens every time. This was particularly bad this time, though. I have been hunched over in a waddle I can only describe as the Mrs.Wiggins walk. In the midst of all this, I also had a tooth get really painful and found I have to have a root canal and crown. My husband just had to have a wisdom tooth pulled.

Geez.

Well, I suppose there are lots of good things to focus on that occured during this time. Lib got to know Nemo quite well. He has had a good rest from school so he can be better prepared for the intensity of the camp he is going to (9-3 every day with his own teacher and ABA therapy). I can't wait to see how he responds.

I just got back from a blood test I put off as long as possible that Lib had to have. I have some cream I rub on his arm to numb it. Worked like a charm the last time. This time, they had to use the other arm which did not have the numbing cream on it. He screamed like a banshee while my husband had him in a vice grip and I strugged to hold his arm. I felt so bad. He bounced back, but I didn't.

Why don't they have a bar on the way out of the lab lined up with shots of tequila? These things just wear me out.

This afternoon, we are going to the dentist to get his teeth cleaned. After that? I don't know but I plan on doing lots of lolling about. I'm just worn out.

Here's Mrs. Wiggins at her finest. Remember her?
