Mindless Monday

That's how I feel this Monday morning. Totally mindless. As if my brains were sucked out by a Zombie pretty big mosquito. I'm just going through the motions today. Doing a load of laundry, cleaning the bathroom and picking up fucking dog toys everywhere I go. Sometimes I feel like I have 3 little two and three year old children running around this house in black and white onesies with speech impediments, fighting over toys and who loves mommy more. It's totally crazy.

Well, Mothers day was fun. I did a load of laundry, vacuumed and that was it. I had no energy what so ever after that. I spent the rest of the day with the puppies laying in bed watching really bad TV, which I gave up for a good book. My brother called me to see how I was doing and we chatted it up for a few minutes. Then one of the puppies farted and it pretty much cleared the room. I didn't go back to the bedroom until 8pm.

This morning I ventured out to check on some of the plants in the gardens. Everything is going great guns. The astilbe is coming up fast, but the begonias are slow as hell. I'm wondering if I'll have to write the nursery and ask for replacements. I have an old mock orange tree that I keep scaled down to a bush. It hasn't bloomed and I was wondering if it ever would. Well yesterday I was so surprised to find a few fragrant blooms on the tree. I have been babying that tree since 2 years ago. I've had it for 4 years now. I tried something different that I never heard of before. I poured a whole half liter bottle of club soda into the pot around the trunk about a week ago. Then bang I get flowers from a tree that never produced them in all the 4 years I've had it. It's because the club soda is like a fertilizer. It has natural minerals and phosphorus that plants crave. So this week when David goes shopping I'm going to have him grab up 5 more bottles of the stuff. If you want to try it, make sure it's the no or low salt club soda. This stuff perked up my house plants and that mock orange tree outside. I plan to pour it into my geraniums, begonias, and the astilbe. I'm wondering what it would do to the roses and the morning glories, or even the veggie garden. Hmmmmm.

As you all know by now I have gone to posting when I have the energy. Otherwise, my Wet Dog/Cat Wednesday is usually set up weeks in advance. So Monday is now Mindless Monday. Tuesday is Tickle Me Tuesday. Thursdays and Fridays will be open to whatever crazy shit I want to blog about. I don't know when I will be able to go back to Saturday or Sunday again. Right now it's pretty hard to run a 5 day blog. But I'll try to get back into the swing of things again before Autumn hits.

Just A Stupid Update

I just got back from running errands this morning.I went to the tax office to get my hubby/plaything's new licence tags and plates for his truck, mailed four packages and bought stamps at the post office and dabbled in the gardening center at Home Desperate Depot, all in under two hours time.

Amazing, I know. I thought I'd be stuck in line at Home Depot all morning long but I got out in under one hour and 15 minutes tops. What's really cool is that I need to grab David tomorrow and go back and get some bags of potting soil and seeds. While he's drooling over the power tools, I'll load up on gardening goodies. Then I'll go collect him when I'm ready to go. Just like those moms that leave their kids at the toy sections and shop.

I finally got the puppies their bath yesterday afternoon. They were not happy campers and neither was my back. I can't wait for the weather to start hitting the high 80's so I can wash them outside on the patio table. It's one of those rod iron tables with the hole pattern on the tabletop. It's a heavy sturdy mother so it won't tip over.

But they got their bath and then I fed them their dinner and they fell asleep around 6pm. They're just like kids. Clean em up, fill em up and they pass out... just like mommy. Yeppers, I passed out around 7pm and woke up at 7am with three snoring puppies at the foot of the bed. I thought I went to sleep with my hubby/plaything.

When Will This Get Better??!!!

I am so tired of this shit. One minute I feel good enough to clean house and do laundry and then I finish with it all and I feel like a cat chewed me up and hacked me out. EWWWW!!! I know. I just can't seem to keep my energy levels up and I can't stop the pain.

I tried going without my Tramadol for a couple of days and I was beginning to wonder how badly we suffered with so much pain before drugs came along to make things more manageable. I finally just got out of bed today. I had no energy.

David thinks it's all in my head and that I'm just depressed. AHAHAHAHHAhahahahhahaaa. If I was depressed I would have killed somebody a month ago when he took two weeks off for Christmas vacation and did nothing but irk the shit out of me by watching Jerry Springer all day. Do you know that fucker is on three times a day for a whole hour??!!!

Oh well, such is life, huh. I keep asking when does it get better. Goddess won't answer. She's been quiet since last Thursday when I went to see my doctor. She must be busy.

Doctor Visit And Other Shit

I went to see my doctor this morning. Everything is all hunky dory except my blood cells are all elevated. He wants me to come back in a month. He says it's Polycythemia and that it might be from high iron levels or just stress. He is worried about heart attack or leukemia. I know I don't have either. It's just high iron. I otherwise feel like shit. So tired all the time.

So a blood test in one month for iron levels, and he is trying me out on something for all my pain. I'm just waiting to see what it will be because what he prescribed will interfere with my serotonin levels and the Cymbalta. I love my Pharmacist. They caught this possible problem. These guys are the oldest pharmacy in town and they know everyone and their problems and they deliver to your home too.

Mmkay, Dark Mother turned me on to this book. I have been reading "Women Food and God" by Geneen Roth since Sunday, off and on because of stuff I normally have to do around the house. Well let me tell you, ladies, if you can go to the library or even the bookshop, whatever is best. I would get this book and read it. It will help you to lose weight. I kid you not.


But you have to really  read it not just the words. Look into what this woman is trying to do. She gets into the heart of the matter. It has helped me immensely since I decided to start this "diet". I have since stopped dieting but I am losing weight!!  I will continue to post my weightloss on the ticker every week just to keep a record. Thank you Dark Mother for opening my eyes and stopping my yo yo dieting. A great big hug and a kiss goes to you my dear friend.
