This and That

Yesterday, I had my first endoscopy. Still trying to pinpoint my tummy woes. My throat still hurts, a lot. It hurts to swallow- which brings me to thinking of that old Chloraseptic throat spray. As a kid and now at a lesser rate- I was the queen of sore throats.. so Chloraseptic was always in the cabinet and I always loathed the taste of the spray and lozenges. I was amazed at how battered my body felt as the anesthesia started wearing off, I felt like I had been hit with a pound of bricks and I still feel that way in the wee hours of Friday morning. I didn't feel this bad after my delivery! I am so grateful Zach was able to work from home yesterday and today- because I need a little extra help and sleep.

Since learning of the wonderfulness of Google Reader, I have started subscribing to a ton of green sites. One new favorite is
Trying to Be Greener. She brings so many things to light and sometimes reminds me of issues I want to learn more about- but have forgotten due to mama brain. The New Dirty Dozen for Organic Foods. If you have a child or just want to live a safer and greener lifestyle check her out!

This Sunday will be my first Mother's Day, we'll be seeing my family and having a breakfast in the back yard. Today I need to run to Costco for various items to feed 20+ people. I already gave mom her gift- because I've never been good with holding onto gifts once I have them. I'm amazed I have been holding onto Zach's birthday gifts for so long.

Our weekend will be a low key one. Seeing family, maybe packing a few boxes- possibly searching for some other summery clothes in storage and maybe I'll get to plant some cilantro and pumpkins. The compost I started or um half-started has started to smell and grow mold.. which I know isn't good. We started creating so much to add to it- that I ran out of dirt to really cover it. Part procrastination and part lack of research- but with hopes- I'll have it whipped into shape- if possible.
