Some Days Suck It Out Of Me…
And some days just suck.
Not sure what type of day today is yet, but yesterday was rough. The weather has been quite nice these past few days which is like a gift from the heavens to me. But of course it can’t last forever and yesterday I knew a change was coming. The weather forecast said “dry and sunny” but I knew they were wrong. My body told a different story. I could tell we were in for something big. Last night as the lightning cracked, the thunder rumbled, and the rain poured I contemplated that maybe I should reconsider my profession. I could hire myself out to the weather channel as an expert resource. What do you think? Only problem is that if I ever were lucky enough to get a handle on this mess of an illness I would do myself out of a job. … Now there’s a dilemma I could get into!
So yes, this is a whiny post. I deserve to whine every now and then don’t I? I go on call for 2 births starting tomorrow. Clients due on the 27th and the 2nd. Days like yesterday and today worry me though. I can’t take the heavy duty pain meds when on call for obvious reasons but then it becomes a matter of whether or not I can physically deal with attending a labor. One of those catch-22 things I guess. And a great motivator to keep searching for an answer.I know there has to be one.

Oh sweety! I am so sorry you had such a rough day. Perhaps some arnica and a good nap would even it out? I know that as the weather has started to change here, and it has gotten colder, I have started to feel that cold creaping in my bones and although I adore fall, it worries me to be so pregnant so late in the year. I am not in pain though… just always cold. Cold blooded person.
I wish you could come visit or something… I have been missing you.

Bad days suck and it’s hard to even enjoy the good days because you know the painfilled ones are coming.
I say we both shuck all the meds, get stinking drunk, and stay that way for about 20 years. LOL. I’ll even come there to you so you don’t have to worry about how to get back home. ;)
Of course, I’ll bring the kids and screw coming back stateside. hehe
Hang in there sweets and if you need a shoulder I’m here.
