sick of life

I am going through a bad spell at the moment. It's amazing to me how one week I can feel on top of the world and by the next I'll have crashed down. I was feeling so energetic and then about mid-last week I just suddenly got tired. Thursday & Friday I attempted the Curves workout, but didn't finish. I started getting hints of my next migraine and as a result, once again turned to my addiction of Tylonal and Vocodin. I haven't been able to eat in a few days due to insurance being a butt about my stomach medication. I just have no appetite and the whole digestive system hurts. Sunday morning I passed out... again. One second I was putting together my morning meds, the next I was hugging the counter for dear life. Then I was on my back staring at the ceiling and feeling oh so relaxed. Miss Kitty & Waldo were circling me in confusion. I now sport several bruises/welts on my chest although I'm not sure how they got there. This evening I managed to get a partial prescription on the stomach meds, so hopefully I will start eating now. I didn't even attempt Curves today although I really want to tomorrow. It has become something that I really look forward to each day.

To my sister on her BIRTHDAY!

Today is Krystal's Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Krys turns 19 today. She's growing up fast - although my mom won't admit it. Two nights ago my mom called both me and Shelly in a panic because Krys had gone somewhere without her purse. So let us all hope that my mom realizes SOON that Krys is an ADULT.

Krys I want to say that you mean a lot to me. You've helped me throughout the years - unselfishly feeding me and cleaning up after me when needed. Quite the little nurse you can be :) You're in college now, and in a couple of years you'll even transfer out of state. You're finding your way in this world, but always know that I'm here for you. Enjoy your birthday today and do some KARAOKE!

Another moment of Stupidity

Today started out normal. I was really tired, but I still managed to get over to Curves for my workout. Well, I got back from Curves and went to check my mail. I felt inside the pocket of my purse where I keep the key and discovered there was only 1 key in there. Automatically I pictured the mail key sitting on my counter. Crap - I forgot to grab it. I drive around to my parking lot, grab my stuff, and head up to my apartment. Here is where I reach into my purse and pull out the mail key. Oh! So I have it after all - this means that it must be my apartment key sitting on the counter. Crap. I didn't want to call and bug the realitor, so I go back down to my car and call 411. "I need a locksmith!" She lists 3 in the area and asks which one I'd like. I said 'whatever one can get me into my apartment.' She connects me with one and I wait 20-30 minutes while the guy tries to find my place. Meanwhile, it's getting cold and the longer I wait, the more I need a bathroom! He finally makes it and begins work on my door after checking my ID. He tries forever to pick my lock. I walk circles as I wait in my uncomfortable condition and I watch as two separate neighbors leave their apartments giving curious looks. The locksmith guy tries various techniques and finally admits that he would need to drill it. Time to call the realitor. He says he has a spare key and can be here in 40 minutes. I pay the locksmith his service fee and head to a McDonalds. I rarely eat fast food anymore, but I figure I can get a cheeseburger for their bathroom services. I come back with the cheeseburger in my purse and wait another 25 minutes for the realitor. He finally makes it laughing up the stairs. He was very nice and said he won't charge me this time. Then he asks if I've found a job yet - and I knew he would ask. How do I tell him that I'm actually considering disability? I look normal to anyone who doesn't know me. I think he was just looking for conversation anyway. I could've offered him a drink, but the place is a mess and it would have been embarrassing for him to see. So he takes off and I come inside. I look on my counter 'where the heck is that key?' Can't find it. I check my purse again even though I had checked all pockets earlier and wouldn't you know it? There's the key! In the purse the whole time!

Time to go eat the cheeseburger...

Wacko March Weather

My darn knee has been acting up the past 2 weeks. I can't seem to shake the arthritis and I'm back to taking tylonal/vicodin every night. Also, I'm really tired of having to take the steps one at a time. I've run out of most of my medications, but I have a few days left on the main ones. I'll have to call insurance tomorrow and see what's going on.

Weather here is crazy. Saturday it was 80 degrees, sunny & warm. I layed in the hammock thinking of the impossible tan. Sunday morning I woke up to a blizzard. Several inches of snow that day - I stayed inside. On Monday - it was warm and most of the snow melted away. I was amazed because there was a lot of snow! Today is extremely windy. So loud! Tomorrow it's supposed to snow again.

I'm tired today. Kind of surprises me because I've been so energetic the past week. Guess I'm allowed a day off.
