Lou & Debi--I'm glad you guys are feeling better and it wasn't something that lasted longer.
I can't believe how this week has flown by. I've been so busy but seemed to have accomplished nothing. Monday my brother called me and asked if I could take my nephew to a clinic because he wa sick. My nephew goes to college here in Nashville has an apartment about 15 min from me. My brother lives more than an hour away and his ex-wife about 3 hrs away. Anyway I picked him up and took him to CVS Minute Clinic. He said he hurt all over and had a fever. It sounded like the flu or allergies turned into something else like a sinus infection. But they said his lungs were clear and his oxygen was at 99% and they gave him a flu test. They wanted him to be seen at an urgent care place for blood work. So we went there and waited forever. They finally called him back there and I waited a very long time. They did several tests and he has Mono. They said it is in the very early stages as his glands were not swollen. He is to rest and absolutely no alcohol as it enlarges your liver for the time, I didn't know that. There's no medication for it.
He turned 21 in March and I love him but sometimes he is so whiney. He wanted to call his mom and have her drive 3hrs to take care of him and this was before we went to the urgent care place. I told him lets see what it is first. So he called his mom when we got into the car and told her he was feeling a bit better and was going to rest and that she didn't need to come here. I told him he needed to take muti-vitamins and a B-complex to help with energy as he need to keep his system up. I texted him the next day to see how he was feeling and he said was feeling a little worse and his mom was on her way with Sophie (her little dog) Geez! He's not like some people who who aren't diagnosed till much later and have zero energy, so he's very lucky. But he lives in a basement apartment with two roommates and she was going to be staying there. I mean really you think your roomies who are also in school want your mom and her dog saying there. My brother called me today and said he talked to his son and asked him if he was taking vitiamins and he said no. Shouldn't that be common sense to a mom or well anyone when your system is down and you need to take extra care of yourself that you would make sure you are getting all your vitamins and all? My brother told him he should probably be drinking some of that Ensure also since it has a lot of nutrients.
His mom is going to let him lay around and skip class and be whiney. He should try his best to go to class and since he gets out early afternoon go back to his place, take a nap and then get up to eat and do assignments. And then get to bed at a decent time to get lots of rest. I'm not trying to downplay his illness but really I think he could do that. And he gets mad at my brother whenever he suggest things to help him. It just makes me angry at times because it's my brother who is paying for this expensive private college and my nephew doesn't seem to appreciate it. And my brother is not exactly floating in money. He struggles so his son can get a good education and go to the college of his choice. He's a senior and needs to be in class . It will be my brother paying more if he has to finish up in the summer. 
well for now anyway:)
Tuesday I was busy with dr appointments. I don't even remember what happened to Wednesday except that I did go through a bunch of makeup that I had that was brand new, like where I had bought backups that I will never use that I have no idea why I bought in the first place. Some were the older mes which kinda sucked. I also had tons of Clinique from gifts with purchase because that's all my sister uses so when they do bonus she gets them to break up her purchase so she gets more than one gift and she always gets me one and sometimes my daughter. I also had some Too Faced, UD, Stila, and other brands of stuff that I had ordered when they had a sale and never even opened. I bagged it all up and to take to give my daughter-in-law.
On Thursdays I watch my grandson when my DIL is in school all day. He's such a doll and so good however taking care of a 5 month old is exhausting especially at my age. Thank goodness I had my kids when I was young. We had lots of fun playing today but I'm so tired and my back hurts. I gave my DIL the bag of makeup and it was unreal how much there was and she was so beyond thrilled. She texted me a couple hours after I got home and she got the little one to bed. She said she was playing and was so excited and my son was laughing at her. Her birthday is Monday and when I asked my son for some gift ideas he said I don't know she said something about getting bronzer, toner or some makeup crap:), silly men. So I thought it was a good time to go through all that and take it to her so she can see what she can use. There's at least 3 different bronzers in there if not more. I have a few things for her already and my son finally said a Macys giftcard would be good.
And now it's almost 1AM and I sitting here. I feel lost on all the threads. I have a ton of errands to do tomorrow. So that's my nonstop wacky week of getting nothing done.
I hope you guys have a great weekend.
That's horrible with the swingset and all, not fair to the children.
