Today was a busy day! I had to take my 3 hour glucose test this morning. I am very hopeful that this is the very last time I have to drink that incredibly nasty stuff! I had 4 successful blood draws--and 9 total sticks, so it wasn't a great day for the veins, LOL. One tech just wouldn't admit she needed help! I had wanted to bring a sweatshirt or something to make sure my arms were warm, but I totally forgot when I walked out the door. Oh well, it's over now! I read half of Outliers, by Malcolm Gladwell. I'm only years behind the rest of America, including Bob and Nathan! What a fascinating book, though. I am really enjoying it! I love, love, love making connections and seeing patterns, so this book is right up my alley. Reading it definitely made the time pass quickly.
While I was happily reading my book, Nathan was holding down the fort back at home with the 5 younger ones. This morning, that entailed chasing down Bruno "Houdini" Bunny, which was not something Nathan had put down on his agenda for the day! He was at the kitchen table when Anna and Grace came down. They noticed Bruno sitting in the middle of the family room floor and mentioned it to Nathan, who was quite surprised, and wondered who had let him out! Nathan had to corral Bruno after a merry chase around the main floor. Bruno ended up in the study hiding behind our old printer, which now sits on the floor, on the bottom shelf of one of the bookcases in the study. It was quite a trick to get him out, but Nathan eventually did, plopping him back in his pen--where Bruno promptly hopped over to his little house, hopped on top of the roof, and right back out again. So after another merry chase, Bruno was recaptured and put into his little house, not just in his pen, to think about his transgressions while Nathan worked on a temporary solution to keep him in. What he came up with has worked so far, and Bruno took a nice, long rest for much of the day, after all his exercise! He is really missing Caleb, who has been gone this week. Caleb has been taking him out the yard regularly for him to hop around. I, on the other hand, have talked a lot to him, and petted him, but not done so much outside (sooooo hot this week . . . ). So I guess he took matters into his own paws! Silly bunny.
As soon as I got home, we got everyone into the car and ran them over to the L's house so that just Nathan and I could head over to our local community college to enroll in classes. Nathan and I had gone over yesterday, but of course everything takes tons longer than you expect, so Nathan just took the math placement test. Then we were late for his orthodontic appointment, so we had to get out of there before meeting with the dual-enrollment lady and actually enrolling (although we did register--that's different). So today we went back to meet with her. Nathan was able to enroll in calculus, but the only physics section was closed, so he's 11th on the waiting list there. I'm thinking there are not going to be 11 people dropping the class, so I need to research the different online programs I've heard about. Still plenty of moving parts in next year's schedule, that's for sure!
After getting everyone back home, I ran over to a chiropractor appointment. A month or 2 ago, my chiropractic office sent out a notice that they had a new doctor on staff. She was wanting to focus on pregnant women! I've seen her now twice, and I like her just as much as my regular chiropractor there. Hopefully keeping up with adjustments as I get closer to my due date will help the baby be in a good position. She noticed a lot of knots in my back and shoulders. NO idea why of course--my life is stress-free! Ha!
Then it was over to Christine's to pray about some of those stressful situations, then finally home. Oh, while we were waiting at the community college, the doctor called to tell me that I did indeed fail my glucose test, so I need to pick up my testing stuff and make my appointment to see the counselor person. Well, this would be the 3rd time for that nutrition/how to test yourself session, so I'm thinking "no" on that, LOL. Just one more stressful thing to add to my plate right now, not that failing was a big surprise or anything. Oh well--12 weeks to go.
