Chaos

Sometimes the universe likes to throw a little chaos into the mix. The last few days have been a lesson in that. I spent Saturday running around doing stuff for my sister's baby shower. The shower was Sunday. My brother-in-law almost got a ticket on the way to the baby shower because he ran a red light. We were late getting to the location to set up for the shower. Luckily, friends and family chipped in to help set up. We had a nice turn out, and everything went smoothly other than the fact that we ran out of plates. My mom, daughter, and grandpa's wife headed back to my mom's house while we finished packing stuff up. When we got to my mom's house, we were informed that the neighbor's dog had just bit my daughter. That resulted in a trip to urgent care, and then running all over the place trying to get a prescription for antibiotics filled. We ended up staying the night at my mom's house. My daughter stayed home from school on Monday. Tuesday, I had to work, then take her to the doctor for a follow up, then go to my Toastmaster's meeting. I was Toastmaster for the night. My computer and printer didn't want to cooperate, so I had a hard time printing out what I needed for the meeting. Our speaker for the night cancelled. On the way there, I had to take a detour because my road was closed over the train tracks. All in all, it has been a stressful couple of days. My ulcer is flaring up, and I just want to stay in bed.

With being sick, the baby shower, and everything else, I have been trying my best to stay on track. My exercise has flown out the window. I am still doing my best to get it in, but I haven't been very successful. My eating hasn't been too bad. While I was sick, I had to force myself to eat. Now that my ulcer is flaring up, I may have to do that again. All I can do is just keep doing my best.
