Cameron and David are off procuring the Math 1050 book Cameron needs this quarter. I found it on the web for half the new price, which is awesome after paying full price for his Math 1010 book last semester. No one at the high school who had Math 1050 last semester seems to be selling. Maybe they have younger siblings who may or may not be taking the same class next year? We're still not sure what math Jarom will be taking next year until he takes the placement test this spring, so we're holding on to the Math 1010 book for now. If we'd known Cameron would be taking it, I would have had Meagan hang on to hers.
Ah, college textbooks. I can't believe how expensive they are. I couldn't believe it when my new college math book cost $40 back in the 80's. Now new college math books cost $160. At least they include a solutions manual. I wish mine had. Maybe I would have done better in Calculus. Then again, maybe not. Calculus is mind-bending. I still don't know how Newton ever came up with it. I think he may have been slightly insane.
This weekend was not my best. I felt sick Friday. Saturday was a little better and I made it to yoga Saturday morning. It was not quite the nirvana it usually is, but it was nice. I even got quite a bit of house cleaning done for a change. By the end of the day I was exhausted, but I'd complete four loads of laundry and the bedroom and kitchen were much cleaner.
Sunday morning I felt good. Then Sunday afternoon I just happened to eat some poisoned sunflower seeds that left me writhing in pain most of the night. OK, they weren't actually poisoned, just laced with MSG, which may as well be poison as far as I'm concerned.
Yesterday all I ate was a box of nut thins crackers, two slices of toast and a bunch of gatorade. Nothing else sounded good. I'm amazed I made it through 6 1/2 hours of work. After work, I stopped at Harmon's long enough to buy said crackers - and meet Amber and the Bahrs in the parking lot, much to our mutual surprise - especially Amber's. Then I came home and ate an entire box and passed out on the bed around 5:30 pm.
This morning when I woke up I felt lightheaded, weak and nauseous. Somehow I dropped the boys off at school, but I didn't make it to work. Tomorrow's gonna be a better day. And I'm going to read labels much more carefully.
The good thing about today is that I got to lay on the couch all day and read The Titan's Curse. And David cooked me a very tasty hamburger. Sometimes it's good to slow down and do nothing - even if it's forced on you!
