I survived moving day. Everyone helped so much. Thanks to our families, we have a pretty put together house and bunches of groceries. My cousin Abby hung out with Emma and me yesterday. Taking care of Emma made me feel a little less useless even if Abby did most of the work. I barely slept the night before the move because I slept with the most adorable little snoring, kicking, bed hog you’ll ever meet. Yesterday I did more than I usually do, so today I am paying. I have the worst headache I’ve had in recent memory, nausea, and dizziness. My muscles are fiercely angry and my joints are on fire. I have to think about thinking, and without much success. I had to have Jake bring me my medicine in bed because I couldn’t get up. The dizziness combined with my body just not doing what I wanted made it take over an hour before I could get up. It is not improving much but I am sure it is just an after effect of my busy day. Despite all of this, I’m happy. We all love the new house, especially Emma. There’s at least twice the amount of space as we had. I already feel great about being able to put dishes in the dishwasher as we use them. It already feels like home.
Yesterday I made a bracelet. Beading is an excellent lying down activity by the way. I decided this bracelet is going to be my lucky charm that cures me! Emma kept handing me the banana bead every time I put it back, so I decided I better throw it on there for some Emma luck.
We had a good time moving you yesterday Jackie. It was like we were just hanging out, but with heavy stuff in our hands. I think you guys will really enjoy your new house.
You’re the best Daddy ever!
I love the bracelet! And enjoy your new home……congratulations! You deserve it
Thank you! I’m already enjoying it so much. Who would have thought putting towels in the dryer could make someone so happy?
So fortunate to be surrounded by such great family and friends. I am glad they were so helpful. Rest and hopefully you can soon feel better than you do right now.
So glad the move is done Jackie. I thought about you guys all day. I figured you would do too much because you were so excited to get moved. Hope you feel better real soon and can really enjoy your new home. Can’t wait to see it. Love you!
I love you too! I didn’t do even 1/100 of what I wanted to do, so I think I controlled myself pretty well! I can’t wait until you’re back in Illinois!
I tried to comment earlier….I wanted to tell you that I love the bracelet! I sure hope you’re feeling better. I wanted to see if another person with POTS found your blog? I follow someone on Twitter who has POTS also and I thought of you. I hope that I connected the 2 of you.
Is it the other Heather that commented? You’re so nice connecting people web you got your own stuff on your plate!
Nope, I think her name is Megan?
Hmmm….
So weird! I tweeted her tonight asking if she connected with you…I know she’s been struggling with her health a lot.
I know how happy I feel when I connect with another person who has Cowden’s Syndrome…imagine I follow your blog and her on Twitter and you have the same rare disease!
I found Jackie through a fellow POTS blogger so she has another POTS friend out here.
Hello! Welcome 😊
I wish you well in your new home.
Thank you! So far so good.
Personally I think the move went very smooth! I was honored to be in charge of your closet! I’m sure in a few days you’ll fix it up just perfect!!
You’re the best for ROY-G-BIVing my closet!
Cool bracelet!
Thanks!
Congrats on the new home, it really is great when you can find happiness even though you’re hurting. Emma is lucky to have you and I am loving the bracelet. :]
Thank you, but really I’m lucky to have her.
