Whistle while you work...or while you try to get to work...

So...this week has been quite hectic and we're almost CONVINCED that there was something that really didn't want Albert to go to work.

MONDAY:

There was a Dr. appointment where we happily learned that Albert doesn't need insulin shots!!! (YAY! No needles!!) His blood sugar is continuing to decrease and it's basically normal now. (though he's still really really tired all the time...ah well)

TUESDAY:

Albert dropped me off at my work right before heading up to his. Unfortunately as he was getting on I-15 the car thermostat thing went really high, know this was a really bad thing, Albert went to the place where we always get our car fixed and they said that our car was overheating cuz the thermostat thing wasn't lifting up enough to let all the heat out and the water cooling system wasn't working either and so they fixed both for us. :) so healthy car right? well...we'll see. (Side note: after the car was fixed, I made Albert get his hair cut. :D )

WEDNESDAY:

Albert sat straight up in bed and almost promptly threw up all over the covers...luckily I'd already gotten up and was in the bathroom when this happened. he proceeded to throw up two more times that morning, though he was able to make it to the bathroom for both (YAY!) He continued to feel nauseous and so he didn't go to work because he didn't want to have to throw up there and then drive back and use all the gas...which made sense.

He felt better later in the day and was even able to accompany me on a visit to see my brother, Matt, his wife (Hailey), and their two children (Will and Katie). Albert was asleep most of the time...and I discovered the most wonderful pancakes ever (Hailey made them. they're Korean and they have sugar and cinnamon INSIDE!!!! she says they're better in Korea...so when Albert and I are rich we're going to have to visit Korea) unfortunately Albert isn't really supposed to have them...he had to eat his by proxy through me. (heh heh)

THURSDAY:

We had an appointment with the dietitian. She gave us some more suggestions for lifestyle changes (i.e. more exercise) and gave us a good diet routine and a little clearer picture of what foods Albert can eat (which included some rice!!! (yes he was quite happy))

Later that day we paid 4 months of rent...

FRIDAY:

Like Tuesday, I was going to work at the same time as Albert, only this time the check engine light came on before he dropped me off...so, we headed over to Ray's (the car place) and the guy at the desk said that we might have warped one of our gaskets on Tuesday because the car got so hot and that replacing that would be a $1,600 fix...so, while Albert walked home and chilled out at our house, I went to work and tried to figure out how we would get $1,600...fortunately when they called Albert later, the problem was that the gas cap was broken and so we just had to replace that...$53. (Prayers are answered! I have no doubt in my mind!) Albert's mom was kind enough to drive us over to Ray's when she got off work.

So yeah...kind of crazy week but that's life for you... blessings, trials...and praying for more blessings...
