A Weekend Lived Deep

After couple hours at work Friday, went home to be there for home inspection...then walked the dogs and left to pick up my Aunt.  We drove to her son's home, near where I grew up.  Had a lovely meal out with my cousin and aunt Friday.  Sat, I did relatives' cemetery circuit, including my mom's grave.  Then my friend's mom's memorial.  It was a lovely Catholic mass in a quaint little chapel, then we had graveside with her husband's plot.  He passed in 1972.  My friend now has neither parent, like me.  He has a lovely wife and daughter.  I enjoyed visiting with them.  Then, back to cousins and another fun meal out.  My friends even joined us.  It was great.  Then, Sunday 3 hours to my niece's wedding.  it was lovely and fun, quirky just like her and her husband.  My sister and husband were beaming as happy as the bride.  We got to know my niece's husband and his family more.  What a lovely occasion.  I was so happy to meet my nephew's adorable girlfriend too.  My face hurt from so much smiling.  Then 4.5 hour drive home and bed!  Whew, I am tuckered out!

Restless Much?

Last night I had some coffee with friends, then stopped by store and bought 2 window fans to have running to dissipate any possible radon.  It was nice sleeping with a fan, so no matter what is not a complete waste of money.  I lay there after my dinner of tuna and avocado and pickle...felt restless...thought I cant sleep...then I was out!  Even got cool as morning came.   I shut the windows though to about 2 inches, because I don't want rain to come in if it rains while I am at work all day.  At least I remembered to shut the blinds today - it was not too hot when I got home last night 5:20, because the sun had moved around side of house a bit, but I bet it was pretty warm around 3 or so.  This is our view, it looks southwest. 
DH coming home today, so that is good.  Missed him when he is gone.  Then I turn around and head out with my aunt for my niece's wedding and my friend's mom's memorial en route to the wedding.  By then, the inspection will be finished and the radon test ends on Monday 3:30pm.  I told my husband I am fairly certain this will all go through without a hitch...but that little thread of possibility might be leading to this restless feeling...along with my stomach being so upset.  I just finished my 3rd course of steroid that makes me feel like a million bucks...all until the day I stop...but I didn't remember it being this drastic...so part of my discontent lies in my realization that I must do a very strict elimination diet again and it is overwhelming.  The last time I did it, I lost 16 pounds in 2 weeks...so, it is a bit intimidating.  It is all about preparation...literally, and psychologically.  But, I feel so bad this week that I think I should be ready soon, maybe next week if I can get DH to shop for me while I am gone.  I won't get home Sunday till 9pm or so, so that is not a good way to get started (proper rest is huge).  Then again, even more reason to kick into low gear.
