Ode to Scarecrow

I would not be just a nuffin'

My head all full of stuffin'

My heart all full of pain

I would dance and be merry

Life would be a ding-a-derry

If I only had a brain

Ok so I'm fine. I have a brain. Yay me! Come to find out I have some inflammation in my sinuses which is causing my head to hurt. But now that I know that I know what to do. Weird though I don't even have the slightest bit of sniffles. thanks to everyone for your prayers. I'm sure it doesn't help that I have been slightly stressed with the upcoming scan and Doctor visit of Richard's. But I'm trying not to think to much about it.

Now moving on to other news.

Have you signed up for the Secret Santa Shindig?

If not tomorrow (Halloween) is the last day.

And for those of you who have signed up.

Have you posted about it?

Cause you know there's that extra incentive of getting a prize from me for the person that sends the most people over that join in on the FUN!

Ugh!

Saturday night after leaving my niece's Homecoming game, I developed the most severe pain in my head I have ever felt in my life. I had to pull over and Richard had to drive. After I made him go inside the store and get me some Tylenol and a couple of plastic bags.

Once we got on the interstate I proceeded to throw up in said plastic bags all the way home. Richard wanted to take me to the ER. I wouldn't go. I wanted my bed. So we got home I went to bed. I woke up and was pretty much okay except for the dull headache.

Sunday I was still ok. A little week slightly dizzy but ok.

Monday I got up and went to work still feeling like crap.

Yesterday I was so dizzy and weird feeling and didn't feel safe driving so I called in sick to work and had Richard take me to the Doctor. The doctor seemed concerned since I hardly ever have headaches maybe one a year if at all. So he scheduled me for a MRI at 10:30 this morning, gave me a shot to keep me from throwing up and sent me home.

I slept all day yesterday.

Got up this morning still feeling bad and I still have the pain in my head. I went for the MRI. They did it with and without contrast. MRI lady said I appeared to be running a fever and seemed to be a little dehydrated because she was having a hard time finding a vein. But she found one and I have this huge bruise and knot to prove it.

I won't know anything until tomorrow sometime. I'll be sure to let you know what I find out. As of right now I plan on going to work tomorrow.

Under the weather

I'm still here and alive. Say a little prayer for me 10:30 tomorrow. Thanks. Love you all.

How early is to early?

So I know that we haven't even gotten through Halloween yet, let alone Thanksgiving. But Dude I really want to get all my Christmas stuff out and decorate the house. It's probably because I just got through looking at the new Crate and Barrel Holiday Book. Oh they have some of the prettiest stuff in there and I got all kinds of ideas running through my head.

So I ask how early is too early?

Am I the only one that wants to do this?

I am not saying that I am ready for Christmas as far as gifts are concerned. I think I have gotten a couple of stocking stuffer things for the boys and that's it so far. Why is it that the older they get the more expensive stuff gets on their wish list?

Oh and I am glad to say that Calob's eye is all better now and the Shingles. Impetigo junk that Jacob had is finally gone. Richard is still standing firm in his decision to not do any treatments. We'll see if that changes come the 3rd of November when he sees the Doctor and has the scan. His rash is still there although it is looking a little better. He is still having the discomfort from it. The Doctor said it could take a month or more for his skin to be back to normal. So we just wait for it to get better.
