the aftermath of memorial day weekend

The night we returned from our St George trip

I was having pain in my stomache area.

To make a long story short...

I ended up in the ER with pyelonephritis,

a severe (and extremely painful) kidney infection.

It was the result of a UTI gone bad.

Apparently I had a UTI while in St George

and it wasn't until I got home and got diagnosed with pyelonephritis

that I realized all the symptoms I did have.

Duh!!

After several days of the ER and doctors visits for shots

I wasn't getting any better.

So I went back to the hospital for a CT scan and found.....

KIDNEY STONES.

Joy!

They say that pyelonephritis and kidney stones

are about the two most painful things people get.

I had the both.

At the same time. 

Luckily, we have great family and friends

who helped take care of us

And I passed my kidney stones

and all is back to normal.

Cross your fingers I don't get any more

and PRAY you never have to have them.

**Update: Infection is not gone.
Another round of antibiotics hopefully will help save me.

Clomid

Hard to think that these little babies....

Might finally get us one of these little babies.

But we'll give it a shot.

Very very very tired.

UNREAL

how tired I am lately. 

I'm physically,

mentally,

emotionally

exhausted!!!!! 

My limbs are always a little tingley

My eyes only open a little crack

I have bags under the ideas

And stress zits keep appearing

Too much school

Too much work

Too much other stuff.

There isn't a word to describe my how pooped I am.

Due to the cronic fatigue

I'm starting to make a real fool of myself.

Because I'm just so out of it.

In the last two days.....

I've FREAKED out at a guy (mentioned here) and completely lost my cool

It was WELL deserved.

I said some very funny/harshly true things. 

And sadly, I don't even feel sorry about it

He'll rebound quickly. 

If only the butt crack were his only problem.

Everything that comes out of his mouth

drives me and the rest of our group CRAZY!!!

Everything is his way or the highway.

And his way is wrong.

I've wasted at least 9 hours of my life this semester

Listening to him ramble about nonsense

While we should be working on our project.

The stress/annoyance has been building

And it popped on Tuesday night

Luckily everyone in my group is glad I did it

Maybe we'll get the project done now.

And today.....I had an individual presentation in my 8 am class.

I was up very late (as always) last night

Getting ready for the presentation

I woke up got ready,

drove to school,

and did the presentation.

Thankfully

I left my jacket on when I was doing my presentation.

Because after I finished

I sat down in my seat

And took off my jacket.

About 25 minutes later

I look at my sleeve

and noticed.......

That my shirt was completely inside out!

Yep.

It must be Monday...

Last night before we went to bed, one of our neighbors set off the panic button on their car and managed to let it honk ferociously for at least 5 minutes before they turned it off. Little did I know at the time....that this would continue to happen ALL night long. Seriously over and over and over again we were woken up all the live long night by this car's panic attack. Rough night ...can't imagine why this kept happening but I hope the problem is solved by tonight. Otherwise I'll be sleeping in earplugs with 10 pillows on top of my head instead of just 3 like last night.

Speaking of car problems, when we got up at 6 a.m. this morning so Andrew could go to class, we go out to the truck to find out that it's apparently locked in the E-brake position. E-brake is off, car starts, but it doesn't move.....(this is my non-car-girl diagnosis). We spend some time trying to roll it out of the stall and then give up and Andrew ends up taking my car and dropping me off at work carless.

Then I get to work and go into the bathroom to blow my nose. I get a little bit of toilet paper and walk away to blow my nose. Then all of the sudden I say, "What is that noise?" Come to find out the ENTIRE roll of TP has just completed unrolled into a humungo pile on the floor and I get to spend the next 10 minutes rolling it back up.

And I've still got the majority of the day to go...including finishing work and then going to calculus for 3 hours tonight. I'm sure my troubles are not over...I'll try to hang in there.

working on saturday...

is a huge BUMMER!!!

There's so much I'd rather be doing right now. But the positive is, it's slow enough that I'm blogging at work..hehe

wish my luck--i'm attempting to start and finish an ENTIRE online class in a week--for real!!!

thanks to my hubby ahead of time for his help and for being patient with me this week :)
