Calgon!
I haven’t seen a calgon commercial in awhile, heck I don’t even know if they still make the product. When I was a child they had commercials for their bubble bath that had the line “Calgon, take me away!” as their slogan. Today is a calgon day!
I am on day 10 without sodas. Well I guess that’s not technically correct, I had a nasty caffeine headache mid-week last week and drank 3 oz of a Pepsi to help get rid of the headache. I used to drink a Pepsi a day. The epitome of healthy, right? Hah! Well sometime during my sleep last night the nasty caffeine headache snuck up on me again and here it is 6 or 7 hours later and I’m still dealing with it. I took some tylenol which appears to have done nothing. I don’t want to have any soda because I know that isn’t the answer. I think I just have to suck it up and deal with this until it goes away. In the meantime I’ll drown myself drinking my requisite 8 glass of water today.
Alexander is bouncing off of the walls. School has been out a few weeks and he hasn’t adjusted to his new routine yet. Our mornings are empty and afternoons have therapy. Today Ava has OT and Alexander has play therapy; after that we’re going to my sister’s house to go swimming with her and my nephews. Alexander is so enthusiastic - he needs to share some of this energy with me. I’d rather go back to bed and lie there for the day moaning about my headache; that’s not an option though. It’s going to be hot as Hades today as well - 104 or so. Talk to me in a few months and I’ll wish it was only 104 but these first really hot days get me - I’ll have to reread this post in December when it’s in the 70s and everyone else is snowbound.
Not much to say today - just a little whiney vent from me. I’m going to ask Alexander’s play therapist to discuss summer break with him. He seems so lost without school and he’s out for two more months. Hopefully he adjusts soon, if not it’s going to be a loooooong summer!
