Weekend News

Actually, there isn't much to report. Just continuing to clean and organize in the house. I finished filing away my papers; I cleaned out about four years of Eddie's school and art work and only kept the best; organized the storage under his loft bed more; figured out what pictures to hang on my walls and which on Eddie's, etc.

Yesterday, I had more pain under that left armpit, where the swollen lymph nodes are. Any time I raised my arm up or out, it seems like it would pull on whatever tissue fibers are there and I'd feel a sharp pain that went up the back of my arm a bit. That pain now seems worse than what's going on the right rib area. I also seem to have a bit more lower back pain - and whether that's due to having to sleep on my back more or this new chair that I sit in in the living room or whether it's all the slouching on the floor as I go through papers . .. probably a combination of all three.

I had a good night's sleep last night, though, and things don't ache as much today as yesterday. I'm still not sure what my plan is for the day - need to finish hanging a couple of pictures and lord knows I should work on my fellowship application. I really want to go look around at furniture stores to come up with a solution for Eddie's loft bed. We'll see what I come up with!

I'll pick up Eddie later today. I wanted him to stay with me tonight because I will be accepting the Phyllis Lee Award tomorrow at OSU, during the Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Breakfast. I'll write some more about it tomorrow. I just wanted Eddie to see me receiving this award - my folks and my brother will also attend. Happy Sunday everyone!
