A new day

A new day and good stuff happening.  I had a monster headache yesterday afternoon and evening, due to the lack of caffeine, but today, I seem to be doing lots better.  I am just now feeling the beginnings of a little headache and I think I can live with that.   If I can be done w/this, it will be great for so many reasons! 

Tuesday afternoon, dh started having a problem w/his eye and Wed. morning, the kids and I brought him to the optometry clinic on base.  Turned out he has an ocular herpes lesion in his eye!  It's the same herpes virus (herpes simplex) that causes cold sores, so it's not an STD or anything ;-).  He has gone to optometry every morning and almost every afternoon for continued checkups.  I even brought him in this morning when they're officially closed, because they want to keep tabs on this.  Today, he is feeling so much better and he's very happy about that.  Neither of us had ever heard of this, but after looking online at a lot of info, it turns out it's actually pretty common.  Who knew?  Plus, now MIL and I both studied some things about natural ways to treat and prevent and that was pretty cool.  I love learning new things.

I've been feeling lazy today about my house and rather tired.  I think it's because of the caffeine thing, but I really believe I should do something after I'm done here.  At the very least, I have to wash some of the boys' clothes, because they're both out of things they could wear to church.
 

I haven't shared this blog w/anybody at all yet and I don't know if I want to.  I realize that there are a couple of blogs that I read, but maybe I have friends who are braver than I am.  I think I'll keep this to myself for the time being.  If somebody stumbles across it by chance, that's ok, but I'm not sending out e-mails w/links to my site .

As a fellow homeschool mom trying to give up caffeine, let me just say good for you! I bet by now those headaches are milder. Keep at it! I will if you will.

P.S. I like your blog.

Thanks for the note and the encouragement. I am feeling much better in the no-caffeine department. Amazing, though, how much of an addiction it can be, as I really miss the taste of both Diet Pepsi and Diet Dr. Pepper (or in my world, aka Diet Dr. Thunder - Sam's Choice brand ;-)). If I could live through last week, than I know you can, too. It is nice to know somebody else is trying to do this, too.
