Oh my gosh. What a weekend. What a day. So overwhelmed and overstimulated.

How about bullet points?

• We're at Stephen's parents.
  
• I got a rash on Sunday (a week ago) that a nurse practitioner thought was a spider bite. I went on steroids for it.
  
• After some sleepless nights and serious suspicions that the rash wasn't really a spider bite, I talked to an urgent care doctor who told me it's actually shingles. (At 30 years old?!!) Which requires a completely different medication.
  
• Shingles, by the way, is incredibly itchy and painful.
  
• Of course, we're out of town and out of our healthcare network. So we had to pay full-price for the new medication at a local pharmacy, which ended up being SIXTY-SEVEN DOLLARS! Sheeeeeeeesh!!!
  
• But at least now I have the right medication!
  
• So on top of that, today was a huge day. We went and saw an air show with Micah and Stephen's parents which was amazingly crazy awesome but also LOUD LOUD LOUD and startling.
  
• Also the company at the air show was very different than I'm used to (but not different than what I grew up with). Rednecks. Including a redneck right behind us who was wearing a shirt meant to resemble the ISIS flag, but it actually didn't say Arabic at all. It said "F*** ISIS" in Arabic-like writing.
  
• Then we went straight from there to a cafe located right on a very, very busy train track, and of course, for Micah, we had to stand by the tracks so he could see and hear a REAL LIVE TRAIN for real. Which was also LOUD LOUD LOUD and startling.
  
• Also, the cafe was seafood, which meant me being paralyzed by insecurity because of my dislike of seafood. LOL. So they all got salmon and I got chicken. Sigh...
  
• Then we finally left and went to the pharmacy and got the sticker shock BUT AT LEAST I HAVE THE RIGHT MEDICATION.
  

And we're still moving.

And we're still trying to get pregnant.

The stress of these last couple months and these last couple weeks and this weekend is just too much! I can't wait until we get back to our quiet, normal, predictable life.
