The other day I went to the mall of all places. I really, truly am not a fan of the mall. But we went- my Auntie, Mylie and I. We rode the carousel, ate Wetzel's Pretzels, drank an Orange Julius, and I got 2 pretty dresses as a gift. I was beyond all exhaustion by the time I got home but it was a fun day.

This week I had light therapy at the dermatologist, and then yesterday I went to an appointment to get the heart palpitations and the ear infection checked out again. The doctor was really nice and he gave me more ear drops to use for another week. I go for a follow-up at the end of the month. He refilled my pain medication and is referring me to a Cardiologist just to rule out everything for the heart stuff.

Next week I am getting another root canal, Mylie's parents go to court to find out where she will live primarily once school begins, and the girls, Aaron, and I have tickets for the midnight showing of Harry Potter. Years ago I used to do midnight movies all the time and then decided I just couldn't handle waiting in line for hours and being out that late anymore. I am making an exception because this may be the last time I have the chance to do this with my girls.

It's been a blah couple of weeks. I think having this ear infection is making me really tired. More then usual tired. I am also not sleeping very well. I've been waking up every couple of hours again and having dreams in which I am anxious or rushed or unable to do what I need to do. A dear friend of mine pointed out it may be because of the court thing. I am hugely worried because I know Mylie will fall to pieces if she cannot be with her daddy. I have to trust God for her future. It makes it easier when she runs around praising God. :) The other day she was skipping around the lawn making up her own worship song "praise the Lord everyone...." and she is such a sweet, sensitive, loving child.

I've been having a ton of leg and feet pain. Around the same time every evening they start to feel swollen, the ankle with osteoarthritis starts to throb, and I am all too eager to end the day and collapse onto the bed.

Right now I a completely exhausted. I woke up a few times until around 4am when I could not go back to sleep. I took a melatonin around 7am and slept until around 1pm. Never happens anymore. I am on such a strict schedule medication wise that I wake up early everyday.

Anyway, I'm watching Beastly on dvd and it's not that engrossing. I am reading a book series that has me pretty captivated though.
