~The Best Laid Plans~

~Well, so much for almost everything i had planned~
Hannah went swimming the day before she flew home, & ended up sick & with major pain in her ears for the 1st few days home whenever she tried to stand, which has morphed into a major cold~
~But still, I've been about 80% raw, even though I still haven't been able to get the bloodwork done. {I'm going in Wednesday to do it.}
Our building has cockroaches. I had to spend a week pulling everything out from every baseboard & emptying every cupboard so they could spray, then, the night before, the landlord informed me they want to also bugbomb! I was not prepared to have my every possession covered in chemicals, & didn't have enough bedding to cover everything, so I refused to allow them to do that...so they evicted me for non-compliance!!! Right as I was waiting for Hannah to get home!!! (Yup, it was a tearful reunion...before she even got in the door...)
I was, of course, devastated...we've been here 3 years, knew the time was coming but planned to wait until Hannah's last portfolio was done for her homeschooling.
I was going to move to the Edmonton area, to be close to my sis & her family, but God has opened an amazing door here I'm in the process of walking through, an answer to many prayers & needs. (More on that later.)
SO, Hannah's still sick, a week later, & I've been fighting it, I have NO TIME to be sick, but last night, while we were having a snuggle-talk, she coughed in my face in a sudden coughing fit, & I woke up with my throat swollen, aching all over, & am definately getting sick...but am going to fight it FULL BLAST! Starting with ten cloves of garlic now, ten tonight! (That in itself usually does it! Just don't get too close!!!)
I'm drinking lemon-lime water, as well~
So now you understand why I couldn't get to the lab for the tests, & also why i can't wait until then to go raw...so my results won't be exactly accurate for a baseline reading~

I have no appetite, not even for my favorite smoothie i had planned for breki~All i want to go is go back to bed....but i can't, i have far too much packing to do! & yes, I'll pace myself, & take breaks as needed. The daily stretching i began last week is helping lately, & is lessening my pain levels day by day, a little at a time...I'll return to weigh-in's on Wednesday...have no idea where I'm at right now. All i know is, it's time to get movin'!!!
