Daily stuff continued ....

Good Morning everyone!

You know, here I was ... all proud of myself for my last entry and explaining some of my goings on, and I apparently jinxed myself, because I just had a bleed from my mouth! UGH! I had already woken up about 3:30 a.m. and noticed Mark was covered up w/the sheet AND blanket. He was slightly awake and said it was cold in the house! With the steroids I'm on, I'm having night sweats, so I have the temperature set @ 73 degrees! Woke up again @ 5:30 a.m. and had missed my 4:00a.m. dose of Oxy for pain. Started eating some candy corn and decided a glass of milk and a Little Debbie chocolate roll were in order! I am still hot temperature wise, I look in the mirror and decide I look like a poodle, as my hair is very curly from the heat! After eating the Little Debbie, I have to be a moose and continue by eating a cinnamon roll and another glass of milk! I don't like being sticky, so I was eating the cinnamon roll w/a fork and accidently jabbed the inside of my mouth and it started to bleed! I could tell right away that my mouth was filling up with blood! DARN! I start rinsing my mouth out in the bathroom sink and this bleed lasts a few minutes. Poopie! This is why I can't travel right now, Mom Schuman! My mother-in-law was hoping we could come up and visit in September and I was telling her how difficult/nearly impossible it is for me to be away from home! When things like this happen ... I'm just not the best house guest right now! I need to be near my home/comfort zone to take care of these incidents! Can you imagine my telling my in-laws, "Hey, I need the aircondition on MAX because I'm hot! Plus, I need to make sure I have all the snacks I want @ my fingertips because I get so hungry w/the steroids! AND, I'd have to haul my humidifier along and have that thing plugged in and making a lot of noise! AND, I'm not going anywhere w/out my Hanzie and they don't want animals in the house! Oh well! We're a packaged deal! Mom and Vicente already figured that one out! My poor Aunt, Sister Juanita is headed to Mexico and can't take her cocker spaniel Avila with her! I would take her if I lived nearby, but my Aunt lives in Oregon! Avila is 12 years old - poor baby, she's going to miss her Mommy so much!

Mark is asleep and has no idea what happened (the mouth bleed)- it wasn't anything I couldn't handle on my own. Hanz gave up thinking I might drop a bit of cinnamon roll and went back to bed! I may have 30 minutes to close my eyes before the alarm goes off! Just had to tell you about some of the fun I was having in the wee hours of the morning!

Ciao!

P.S. I just want to assure everyone though, that I'm a very happy person most of the time! I have a terrific, attentive husband that loves and understands me! The cutest dog in the world that has a play date w/2 other Brussels @ the Santa Fe Animal hospital tomorrow! We were told by someone @ Petsmart, that the office manager @ the animal hospital has 2 Brussels - a boy and a girl! I called over there today and it was the girl Brussels birthday! Can't wait for my Hanzie to meet them! I believe the male dog was named Griffin! I can't remember what they told me the female dogs name was. I've decided I want a female Brussels for my 50th birthdayh in May! Woo Hoo!
