I got out!

Yay…!!! I was ‘allowed’ out of the house today… well, actually, to be more accurate. I was ‘allowed’ out of the BEDROOM today! Since I’ve been home (last Thursday) I’ve been in my bedroom, sitting up in bed, or laying down. We have a master bath, so I get up to go to the bathroom and really, that’s it. Everything I need to eat or drink, I have to call TH (or yell for him) and he has to serve me.

I feel sooo needy having to depend on him like that. And I always feel bad taking him away from his work (since he is working from home). And you know, when a pregnant woman is hungry, you can’t just dilly dally, you must feed her right away. So if TH decides to take his time, I decide to get naggy. Well, it’s less of a decision and more of just what happens. Can’t help it.

Today I got to go outside b/c I had a follow-up appt at my OB’s office that I had to go to. They checked my BP and it’s perfect! 117/74 !!! I swear it’s only perfect when I go to their office, and when I’m in the hospital it’s always super low. It doesn’t help that while at the hospital they take my bp while I’m laying down and have been confined to a bed and am super tired or just waking up, and super cold.

I was in desperate need for a haircut. B/c being at the hospital with long hair and not being able to shower is one of the worst feelings ever. I felt so greasy! And yeah, I can put my hair up, but laying down with a pony tail just isn’t comfy. Sooooo… A cut was in order.

I love my old haircut that was short in back cut on an angle to be long in the front. A lot of ppl do this cut, but I prefer my hair in the front to be pretty long. Anyway, I was trying to figure out how I would fit in a haircut without being able to leave my house, so I asked my FB friends for some advice. And got some volunteers… Then I said screw it, I don’t want to put anyone out to make a house call, plus I look like crap lately. So I picked a local salon. So I stopped there before going to doc appt. It wasn’t an easy decision since I usually only go to 1 salon for my hair, and it’s over an hour away (near where I used to live). And doc said I am not allowed to go that far away from home. Sooooo, yeah. I decided to go local. It was not a bad decision though!! I love my new cut! And the price. Holy crap!!! I usually pay about $75 for wash/cut/dry where I go — but here it was only $42!! Wow. I was impressed and I think the stylist did a great job

I love how versatile my new cut is. I can keep it down, looking long in the front, or tie the long front parts up and my hair looks super short.

Can’t you tell I’m soooo excited!!! The blur in the first pic on the left, is my dog going crazy trying to get me to pet her.

I am also super happy today b/c I got to get out and enjoy the GORGEOUS weather. I mean, it’s PERFECT. No rain, no humidity, no heat … just perfect.

Even though I had to go up and down stairs today (in my house) … I still feel good. I wound up settling in my den .. which is on the same floor as my kitchen/dining room/powder room … so I’m pretty set. The couch I have claimed is super huge, so I can always lay on it instead of my bed. And tonight, I’ll make one trip up the stairs to my bedroom to sleep. Then back down tomorrow.

I feel so much more normal eating in a room other than my bedroom. I hate crumbs in the BED!!!!

My dogs are super cuddly lately, I wonder if they know pretty soon they won’t be getting as much attention as they are used to…

It was a little hard to breathe with one dog on my neck and the other trying to get onto my stomach. But the eventually settled in to better spaces, like the couch pillow above my head.

Okay, so that’s all for now. More later.

Peace.
