She came here on Wednesday evening - so far so good. We both worked during the week and she was with friends all weekend. She came home today - 2 friends in tow - but they have been well behaved - L cooked dinner - they all took the recycling down for me!
We had one opportunity for a big meltdown - L called me today and wanted me to drive out to Kirkland to pick her up from Jen's house - I said nope because I was in the middle of something and I wasn't driving to Kirkland. She tried to argue with me - whined about how many buses it would take to get here - I didn't budge! Yay Me! She finally said OK - hung up - and all was good when she finally got here.
I woke up this morning and for the first time in 4 days my neck wasn't hurting and I didn't have a headache so I quickly gathered recycling together - did the dishes - got some laundry done and then got into baking mode and made 6 dozen peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and 2 loaves of banana bread! My house smells good. Downside - my neck started hurting again and the headache was back - I took 4 Ibuprofen and am hopeful that it stays kicked in so I get some sleep. Last Thursday I was awake until midnight and then woke up at 3 am because it hurt do bad. I went to the chiropractor Friday evening but it only helped out for about 5 minutes. I'm not sure if I pulled a muscle - if my neck is out of joint - or if it is swollen lymph nodes. My neck aches when I swallow - and the pressure point that hurts most is right behind my ear. I hope it goes away.
I gotta go check on my bread!
