I am not sure what we did to deserve a disastrous week, but all I can say is wow! It all started last weekend when our heater broke. Thank heavens it has been a warmer January so we didn’t freeze to death but it was still chilly! The heater was fixed on Monday.
On Tuesday, I had a dr appt. Most of you know I only run in survival mode, so having a couple of “extra” hours before that appt I went nuts on the house trying to get stuff done. My tub was gross so I decided this would be a great time to bleach it. So I did. Then, I ran to Walmart and stopped back home really fast before the appt. I heard a noise and asked Kayla what it was- as I realized I NEVER TURNED OFF THE WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We raced in there and I was relieved to see that the water didn’t overflow to my floor yet. However…Kayla went downstairs and dangit if I could only turn back time…
The water went through the seal in the tub and down through the ceiling of the bottom floor: soaked the carpet, RUINED our flat screen TV, burst 2 tiles, ruined 8 tiles, and made me feel like a piece of crap
So we finally got it all cleaned up and then went to get a new TV. Bob brought it home and as we unpacked, we found it was chipped and had to repack and take it back only to find out the TV we want is on backorder. I know….#1stworldprobs! I am extremely grateful the carpet wasn’t ruined and the Wii, PS3, and DVR all survived. I am also grateful we can get a new TV. But boy I would love for all of this to stop…
Other items:
1. At my dr appt we found that my cortisol levels are too low. I didn’t even know I had cortisol! So I have to go for a STEM test where they will draw my blood, then give me a cortisol shot (to see what my body does), then 30 minutes later draw more blood, and then an hour later draw more. I feel like they really aren't doing a test- just feeding a vampire! So, I am torn. I want them to find I have Addison’s disease so I can finally stay up past 6:30 and stop gaining weight, but yet I don’t want another disease to add to my pathetic list. So keep me in your prayers. I just need answers whatever they may be.
2. I was asked to present twice at the conf this summer. I feel honored and agreed. The main lady wanted more people to hear me
Bob and I are heading to Chicago this weekend!!! I am going to the American Library Association Conference. I am excited to meet so many authors, get new books, and find out what's trending in the library world. It will pretty much be heaven!!!
