So what do we do while Dragon is high on narcotic pain killers and a drug related to Viagra? Dragon is very frisky right now and can't keep his hands to himself.
Strangely enough he is absolutely fascinated with my backside. Being the spanko that he is, he wants my backside red. Covered in nice, pink hand prints. And he wants to make sure that I am completely frustrated while he does it! The man knows how to torture me!
Sadist....
He is absolutely out of sick leave and annual leave and we already know that he has to take two days off next week. One of those will be without pay. Hate doctors. One day of leave we could swing next week but not two. What an ass.
Dragon went without the narcotic Thursday because he wanted to try to work today. He managed both days. Saturday is a work day and Sunday I really need his help running kids all over the place. I don't want to drive in the city. Very tight schedule. I seriously need a clone.
Ps. I do treasure the chaos. They are growing up fast. One starting college, another finishing school very soon and my youngest trying to get into his dream college. Soon, I won't have this anymore.
Prayers for my Dragon please. I absolutely hate seeing him in pain. He is working with very high pain levels but is too stubborn to take any more off days than he absolutely has to. Fingers crossed that he can help with the driving Sunday. Prayers for relief with two days of doctors appointments. Prayers that this doctor was just having a bad day with the first appointment last week and that he is friendlier next week. Prayers that Dragon doesn't need the narcotic anymore. Prayers that the simple procedure is all that is needed and not the more invasive surgical procedure.
Thanks, I'm sure I can count on my blogger friends

Pumping Gas
Dragon is on some heavy duty pain relievers. All 4 of his prescriptions have driving warnings. Since he can't stand to go even 30 minutes past a dose, he is home from work. No driving, no work.
Sunday morning I had to stop for gas. I started to unbuckle my seatbelt but he was out and around the car before I even got my hand on the buckle. He's fast!
He hates it that I have to pump my own gas most of the time.
Years ago I dropped him off at the airport in Boise Idaho for a deployment. Not a danger deployment this time. He didn't return to Afghanistan. But traffic had us running late and I had to fill up the tank right after I dropped him off.
I stood there with the nozzle in my hand, crying for 5 minutes before someone decided to help me. I couldn't figure out how to pump the gas. This was the first deployment since Afghanistan.
I honestly hadn't pumped gas since he returned and I couldn't figure out anything. The pumps had changed in the year and a half since he had been back. For me, it was heartbreaking. His newest deployment became real in that moment.
I don't know why but seeing him rush around the car to beat me to the pump brought that memory back.
I don't know the young man that helped me that day but I am forever grateful.

SEX
He always wants it! Until I get interested.
I am somewhere in peri menopause. Very irregular smoothies, dry as a desert and just not interested between hot flashes and mood swings.
Yes. Feel sorry for my family and a prayer probably wouldn't hurt either.
Today he woke up ready for action but I'm just not frisky until I've had my cup of earl grey.
Around lunch time I started getting interested but Dragon didn't look so good. He was passing another kidney stone and thought it would be like the others. Uncomfortable but manageable.
Nope.
Off to the ER. Turns out it is a very large stone that is not likely to pass on its own and the other kidney has an even larger stone.
Fun stuff.
So. No sex for me. Pain meds and probably another trip to the doctor. Blag

Sharing Food
Monday nights are hectic. Dragon gets off work and meets me in a parking lot in the city. I have to wait several hours while the kids are in class. We get any shopping done that won't wait and grab something to eat. Fast and cheap usually.
We were discussing where to go and I mentioned a little chicken place that has a plate we usually share. It is a LOT of food. Less than two orders but I don't eat much. Two fingers, a few fries and the coleslaw. We both get plenty to eat.
The parking lot was packed and the drive in was ridiculous.
Plan B.
At burger joint near by we like to order the different meals. Chicken sandwich with onion rings and a hamburger with fries. We split the meals between us.
Nothing says I love you like sharing food.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I have much to be thankful for this year.
Dragon is finally working a full time job.
We have insurance other than tricare
Dragon is back in school
My 20 year old is starting her college years.
My oldest has plans to become a teacher
All my kids, my granddaughter and my oldest daughter's boyfriend are under one roof!
Dragon's PTSD is under control. He will never be back to where he was before the military but I'll take what I can get.
Happy Thanksgiving fellow bloggers!!!
What are you thankful for?

Enemy # 1
Food!
Yes, I said food.
For breakfast I choose my food. Oatmeal, grits or cold cereal. Lunch is usually fruit. Only dinner really resembles something most people would call a meal and every night I get sick.
I have kept a food journal to figure out what is causing the problem.
No luck. It almost seems random.
I thought so until I figured out the difference. I don't eat meat the other two meals of the day. When I do, I get sick.
After Thanksgiving and the first of the month I am going to go off meat for a little while. It is the only way to see if that is what is causing the problem.
Left on my own I only eat meat once or twice a week. It sounds like a hardship but it really isn't. I can do this.
I hope I figure this out. I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

A Flirt
Dragon had been dealing with a major plumbing disaster. A simple $5 5 minute fix turned into a $200 all day fiasco. Don't ever put CPVC in a house. Not smart.
Dragon's poor hands were beat up by the end of the day. He took off his wedding band and asked me to put it away. I put it in the safest place for something so important to both of us.
The next day her went to work. One of his coworkers started flirting with him. She didn't take his usual "I'm not interested" signals. He had to tell her straight up that he is not available. She assumed that our marriage was in trouble when he didn't have his ring.
Did she ever get the wrong impression!
My Dragon was kind and let her know that we are still very much together. Who knew that someone would take something so small so seriously? It is important to both of us but the rings can spend some time put away.
He put his ring back on as soon as he got home from work. No more confused coworkers we hope!
