Massages, Yes-Facials, NO

The little one is working on taking naps on her special pillow. So far she is doing pretty well with it. She only requires occasional intervention to put the pacifier back in her mouth. Now we just have to figure out her nap schedule. The afternoon is pretty easy; it’s the mornings we have difficulty with.

For a few nights last week she was not sleeping. We have learned that we have periods like this occasionally. Thankfully it only lasts a few nights and then she is back on schedule. But those nights where she doesn’t want to sleep turn into LONG nights.

Buddy is going to see a Canine Orthopedic Specialist tomorrow. When he was under a year old he had surgery on his knee. The vet thinks that over time, that surgery has deteriorated and he will need to have surgery again. First they will scope his knee to see if they can figure out what is the cause of his pain. He has been keeping weight off of his rear left leg for well over a week now. But, since we now have him on some heavy duty pain meds, he is starting to put it down occasionally now.

Well, one of the guys at Hubby’s work is leaving. He was owned most of the shares of the company. So, they are going to redistribute all the shares of ownership. Originally he was going to get 7% of the shares, and the other guy was going to stay. But since he has decided to leave Hubby will now end up with 25% of the shares of the company. So, Hubby is now 25% owner of the company.

For Christmas, Hubby got me a VIP Package to a spa. One of the perks is that in the month of your birthday you get an express facial (30 min) and express massage (30 min) for free. So, since I just had the month of my birthday, I went Friday to get that done. Well, I am apparently allergic to something in the facial stuff. Saturday I woke up with bumps on my face and it was a little red. Later that night my eyes started to swell. By the time the baby had woke up for her 4am feeding, my eyes were so swollen, Hubby took one look at me and said ‘ewww, you’re not going to work today’. When I woke up at 7:30am, it was pretty scary. I looked like a lion child. My eyes were just about swollen shut. So, I didn’t go to work, I stayed home taking Benadryl every 4 hours and sleeping. The swelling is down a lot today, but I still have the little bumps all over my face. I think I will stick with massages only. I forget that my face can be sensitive to things sometimes!
