~ What A Week ~

      

I am thrilled it's Saturday!!!  I should be doing laundry but I just can't get motivated.   I crawled out of bed at 7 and just couldn't seem to wake up or get my body in gear.  This past week has been a whirlwind.  I promise I won't bore you with every mundane event or detail.  Ok, so I hope I don't :)

 

I haven't been back to visit my Dad, but I've talked to him a few times.  He is doing good.  He still has some pain and a bit of fuzzy vision but after all the poking around in there I'm not surprised.  Each day it gets a bit better.  For most, that surgery is not a big deal.  For him, he had to have permission from both his cardiologist and general doc, so it wasn't just a run of the mill thing.  So far so good.  Once he is at a good point in the healing process he will have the other eye done.

 

No results on my sister's scan.  Probably a good week before the results are back.  Thanks so much for the good thoughts, prayers, and lit candles.  She and her husband will be taking a little trip this coming week.  Good for them!  It's her off week from chemo and she definitely deserves it!! 

 

My dentist appointment went well.  I messed up and thought this was it, and I'd be all done after the next trip.  I have at least two more visits.  I got in the chair and tried on wax molds to test the fit.  It felt extremely odd.  Move your tongue around, stretch your tongue towards the roof of your mouth, as far back as it will go.  Open, close, bite, relax your lips.  Move your jaw from side to side. Run your tongue around the forms.  Suck in, blow out.  About half way through I started to laugh and couldn't stop.  The dentist looked at me in confusion.   At the risk of sounding like a pig or giving too much information I told her I felt like a young girl being taught how to move my mouth gently around in some sexual encounter.  I thought she was going to choke.  Her eyes opened wide and we both laughed until we had tears in our eyes.  Her assistant is new and that was only the second time she has seen me.  She didn't know, poor girl.  Her jaw was on the floor and she had no idea how to react.  When we were done we scheduled my next appointment.  My jaw was a bit sore and we laughed some more.  Her assistant told me as I walked out,  'Can't wait for your next visit.  You made my day.  It's nice to have someone with a sense of humor in the dentist chair.'  My reply, 'if I don't laugh I'll cry.  Besides, I wasn't kidding, that is exactly what it sounded like.  Without the heavy breathing of course.'   Off to work I went.

 

Work was work, busy, busy, busy.  It's hard collecting those SSI checks and getting them to the bank!  LMAO (no offense intended to those that might be on SSI)  Ok, seriously, some minor issues that took time to fix.  Running here and there, calls, quick fixes with the system issues, meetings.  The days flew by but not much on the 'to do' list actually got done.  There is always next week, right?  I was planning on taking some time off on Thursday to help my son with the move and setting up of the new apartment.  That won't be happening.  I have to leave early on Tuesday and rules are rules at the office (more about that another day).  I will just have to give my 2 cents to him on Thursday evening.  Did I say 2 cents?  Somehow I know it will be more then that. 

 

Last night I got home.  It was just me.  I fixed a sandwich for dinner and nestled up the computer to get through mail and journal alerts.  Maaaaaaaaan we all type a lot!!! LOL  I slowly made my way through things.  Leaving the alerts until last.  About 8 (I think) my head was pounding and I decided to just wait until later.  I logged off.  I did some of this and that.  I was in my room changing my bedding and I laid across the bed.  It felt great!  In my ear, or was it in my head, I heard the whisper of 'take a nap'.  LOL  So I stretched out and laid there.  Thirty minutes is all I wanted.  Can you say, game over?  Next thing I remember is jumping out of bed and not knowing where I was, what time it was, or what day.  I rubbed my eyes and tried to focus on my clock.  I stumbled out of my room thinking I overslept for work.  It was dark and quiet.  It was then I realized I had taken a good 3 hour nap.  Shit!!  I'll be up all night.  I fumbled around a bit.  Logged on to the computer to see new entry alerts had multiplied.  I read thru a few but I really felt groggy.  I ended up going back to bed.  Guess what.. I even slept!!  This morning the birds woke me early.  I turned on my TV and laid there for a bit.  My body was stiff and my head cloudy.  I hate getting too much sleep!   I know my body needed it, but my brain can't function when I do that.  It seems to take hours to wake up.  Coffee doesn't help either!  

 

I sat here this morning plugging away at the even more multiplied alerts.  AOL was screwy besides.  Sometimes it would open the journal, sometimes it wouldn't.  I could comment, I couldn't comment, my comment got posted twice!!  GRRRRRR  I logged off and on a few times.  Each time the welcome screen was different.  I went from the old one, to the new much larger one, to the old one.  WTF are they doing???  I finally made it through, or so I thought.  Yeap, you got it... more alerts!   Gotta love it and how we love to share.  It's awesome to read an entry full of life's trials and tribulations.  So much going on.  Some that breaks my heart, but how important it is to the writer to share that news.  How important to have the support of the community.  How great to get or give it!   The recent 'rocker' awards that went out are deserved by all that take the time to include the rest of us in their life, ladies and gents!  Congrats to all!

 

Geeze just realized I babbled on for more then I intended.  Sorry....... could you imagine if I included every little thing?  LOL   Wishing you all a great weekend.  Ummmm.. yeah you know I'll be back with more.  I'm awake now!!!   Off to find something good to eat :)~

 

Hugs
