Weekly Wrap Up | 1/14/24

Aloha friends!

Are we really in mid-January?! Come on 2024…you are going by so fast already. 😫

This past week was busy! My son had a birthday event to go to so I had a chance to meet up with a friend in town and give her birthday and Xmas gift that I had in my house since April lol. Bad, I know but we could never find a chance to meet up. I also had a breast MRI and yay, it’s clear! No new activity going on in there. My mammo a few weeks ago was clear too so I’m just happy the mammo and MRI are over (for now-I’m sure I get another in 6 months). MRI’s are so exhausting. It was only a 20 minute procedure, but the IV in my arm, then laying face down on this metal between my chest is so uncomfortable (especially if you have a tight back like ME), and you can’t move. Every time they ask me for a music selection I say Taylor Swift. So Taylor Swift has been getting me through my MRI’s! Ten minutes into the MRI my left arm was numb and I so wanted to move to shake it. I survived though and my results are good so I’m glad.

Then my kids had a dental appointment on Friday and after school my daughter seemed way too low energy. She even took a nap before tap dance. That is not usual! She didn’t even want any snacks…should’ve known something was up. After tap dance she felt warm, got her home – took her temp, it was 100.6 and then she had diarrhea. So I’m pretty sure she caught a stomach bug. I knew she would catch something being back in school…but I thought it would be RSV, flu or COVID – not a stomach virus. 😒 It’s always a surprise, isn’t it?! UGH. 

At least it is a 3-day weekend. We need it to recuperate. 

I hope all of you had a good week!

  1. Great to hear about the all-clear mammogram but I’m sorry to hear that your daughter got sick! I hope she feels better soon and no one else in the house catches anything! These Deadly Prophecies caught my eye the other week but haven’t heard too much about it—what’d you think? I hope you enjoy whatever you read next and have a great week ahead!

    1. Thanks! I’m trying to keep her stomach bug from spreading so I’ve been doing a lot of laundry and disinfecting – but she’s having a rough morning today, at least no fever now but she’s been on the toilet so much she hurts, poor thing. These Deadly Prophecies was a mystery that I found fascinating – lots of family drama, but you get kind of thrown into this world where sorcerers practice their magic and I wish there was more world building about that part. It’s a very quick read though, it was a 3 star read for me.

  2. Great news about the all clear scans. I hate mammograms and just wish that they could find a less uncomfortable way of dong it. I don’t think I’ve ever been offered music during an MRI scan. They just feel like you’re inside a washing machine to me. I’ve been enjoying the sunny days that we have had this week after weeks of rain. It’s lovely to see the fields and paths drying out.

    1. Thanks, I’m so relieved for the all clear! Yes every time I get a mammo and a MRI I’m always praying that in the future, someone will invent a less uncomfortable way for these procedures! Enjoy the sunny days!

  3. It sounds like you had a busy and eventful week! Glad to hear your MRI results came back clear and that you’re doing well. Wishing your daughter a speedy recovery from the stomach bug.
