Life Keeps Going

geminigirlCayne moved back into the bedroom. It's interesting to sleep in the same bed again after so many months (really years, probably) of sleeping apart. It's nice, too, mostly. I'm a little warmer, with someone next to me, but it's nice too, for spontaneous kissing and stuff, which wasn't really possible when we were in separate beds. He still makes little gurgly snoring noises sometimes, while he's sleeping with the CPAP, and that's not always easy to sleep through. And it's really annoying when the he/the CPAP exhales really cold air onto my arm at night. But I'll live with that if it means I get to cuddle with him sometimes.
I feel like things are a blur of immigration and doctor's appointments lately. I spent a few days trying to get together the information to go to the Clerk of Courts in Clinton County to get the disposition of arrest certificate. Monday is a follow up with the urologist again. I need to reschedule my doctor's appointment for 4/10-they called me today to tell me Dr P won't be in the office that day.
We were at the art show on Sunday. Bought two photos, put a deposit on a third, and there's a fourth one I need to buy as soon as we have the money for it in the budget. I nearly had a heart attack today though, when I looked at the checking account, and discovered that there was a $300 hold on the check card from XM Radio. Cayne's XM subscription was about to expire, and I told him to switch the billing to quarterly for a while, because I didn't want to drop that amount of money all at once, even though in the long run we'll pay a little more. I'm just glad that December/January/February are over. Between my accounting error that made things tight, plus major expenses (car repair, registering both cars, and an immigration physical) things were far more squishy than I like. Plus, we paid off a bill in March (they claimed they had to replace the carpet in our old apartment, so I made an arrangement to pay their charge in installments) which puts a little money back into our budget.
I can't believe we're getting ready for this weekend already. Lots of plans, too-stuff to do at home, plus a "buy this stuff" party on Saturday morning and a munch on Saturday afternoon. This is our last weekend before Crunch too, which means I want to cram in as much Cayne time as possible, so I did a bunch of usual-weekend-chores yesterday, and I'll do some more tomorrow, I think. I also may go pick up two pairs of knitting needles in sizes I don't own, and some more row and stitch counters, and go to Pier 1 to pick up some other stuff.
Can't figure out what to do for Cayne's birthday. Some of his birthday gift arrived today, from Canada. Sadly, it was damaged in transit, so he'll get it when he gets home tonight.
I've had odd pain lately. Not odd so much that I haven't experienced it before, but odd in that "it's normal but I haven't had it in a while. My right shoulder, both wrists, and my left shoulder. Not sure that there's anything much to do about it, it is what it is. Probably worth a chiropractor visit soon if I can find one.
It's kind of challenging to have medication that needs to be taken four to five hours after any supplements containing minerals, and an hour before food, and still have medication that needs to be taken four times a day with food. Still, I seem to have that under control. Synthroid when the alarm goes off, an hour before breakfast, then breakfast and metformin, lunch and metformin, supper and metformin, snack and metformin and vitamins before bed. Somewhere in between all of those pills, four times a day, fiber supplements with very large glasses of water, to counteract unpleasant metformin side effects.
That said, since starting the synthroid, I'm sleeping more soundly than I have been for a very long time. And in an even more unexpected development, my ankles, which swelled more often than I'd have liked, but I chalked that change up to age, rather than thyroid, are suddenly not doing that. And I seem to be spending a great deal more time in the bathroom lately, which makes me think I'm shedding extra fluid, which is kind of nice. I suspect that's part of why I put on a skirt today, and said, "hrm, still a little tighter than I feel like wearing it, but much looser than last time I put it on." I know I've lost some weight since I last wore that skirt, and so apparently I've lost more than I thought.
Now if only the spouse would get home...
