Ok, this picture is actually snow in Denver, but im much to sleepy to upload the pics from tonight We're getting snow. Lots of snow. Approx 4" has fallen since around 2pm. Doesnt sound like much, but this IS NC after all, not Colorado - 4 inches practically shuts the state down. I will say, however, for the most part, there is no need for the north carolina snow to be referred to as "idiot flakes", as we so commonly did in Denver... If a SINGLE flake was spat from the sky, people started driving like there was 30 feet of snow! Only, everyones technique varied.. They were either the "2mph so that I may assess the number of flakes" driver, or the "im 4x4 here me roar" driver. It was completely ridiculous. Especially considering it snows ALL THE TIME!! And, to boot, the snow usually only hangs around for a short while! Oh well, we always said it was job security for husband!
Its 3am and I cant sleep. Im supposed to be going to the endocrinologist later today, but husband said the risk isnt worth the benefit. Even if NOT going means I have to wait another month. The roads are really bad out our way, and we're unsure as to how much scraping/maintenence we'll be recieving, since it IS the boondocks :) Since he has to work, there is no way he can drive me, which will be setting me loose, in a stick shift, on slick roads... I think it sounds scary, but it must be REALLY scary for HUSBAND to be concerned!
His new job is fabulous. So far, its all we hoped for and more... All we prayed for, all we wished for, and exactly what we needed. I am so thankful thatI saw it on the internet and emailed his resume for him he applied for the job! Funny how things work out!
We went grocery shopping saturday.. First time we've actually stocked the fridge since moving in... Yes, that IS sad... Six months with only minimal groceries is actually quite ridiculous. We just really couldnt afford to SHOP like we needed to.. so we opted not to.
Rana is doing better today, although she had a fairly rough weekend. She urinated outside saturday afternoon, and expelled a large amount of green pus with the urine. Quite alarming. As of 4am Sunday, I was convinced we were going to lose her. Her temp had spiked up to 105.8 and she looked horrible. She hadnt been on any IV fluids at that point, and dr M decided to give her a few more hours before we started, in hopes her temp would decrease on her own. By lunch time Sunday, still no decrease, so they started her on fluids. When I got into work at 5, her temp was down to 102.9, and continued to decrease, reaching, finally, 101.4. She was not responding at all to her original antibiotics so Dr S changed her to 2 much stronger antibiotics, and we are culturing her urine to be sure that she isnt somehow also affected/effected by MRSA. Seems sorta coinkydink-ish for husband to carry, Ruckus to carry, and now Rana has some sort of odd-ball infection, with unknown bacteria. All will be well, I am sure. She is way too naughty to give out from a little infection!
I think sleep has finally found me, and Im off to snuggle with my very warm husband :)
