I tried, I changed, but still am getting divorced!

Gatsby- is that why you have way more work than usual? It totally sets us back several days doesn't it?!

Yesterday I woke up with very painful, inflamed arthritis. DUH- I was on my feet for almost 10 hours straight, and doing a lot of grunt work. Of course that will result in some issues when I haven't been doing that kind of work in awhile. So I tossed back the ibuprofen and a few prednisone (only in times of intense inflammation). I was limping all day (feels like your right ankle is sprained) but by mid afternoon, the inflammation was down. People kept asking "are you ok? What happened?" so I had to say "it's arthritis! It will get better." It definitely slowed me down. It started to clear up by 2 p.m. but I had to leave at 3!

I had to go to meetings and then I also wasted an hour making class labels (printer issues) when normally it would take 10 minutes! So I think I really ended up only having 4 hours to do work. Still have to set up desks and chairs and put away 25 bags/boxes of stuff.

I picked up S at 3:30, we went to the DMV to get my car fuel emissions checked and then we went to the pharmacy and picked up a take and bake pizza...got home about 5:30. I spent some quality time playing with him after dinner and he had a bath, then crashed at 7:15! I was only able to read a couple of books to him but he LOVES "5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" and when I say those words, he bounces and throws his head back (because one fell off and bumped his head!)

Luckily, I have a teacher friend from my mommy group (she is 37.5 weeks pregnant) who is willing to come in today and help with stuff today! I have a looooong list and am so grateful!

I am leaving at 4 p.m. no matter what. Gotta figure out what to wear tonight.
