Wet Cat Wednesday

It's Tuesday - Baby Steps; Fuck You!

One thing at a time. I just dust mopped the whole house and the dust bunnies attacked me. No really! Every time I thought I had one, another would break free and run. So I gave up and just wet mopped the floor. David is going to kill me for doing it because of my back but fuck it, the house is a mess. It needs to be cleaned. So I'll do a little each day.

I hate MCTD. Last week I was having dizzy spells. This week's door prize is I'm having trouble remembering shit. My short term memory is shot all to hell. Would you believe I walk around the house with a pad of sticky notes and a pen just in case I have an idea? It's true. I leave little notes all over the house and if I happen to see one I'll go read it. It might be something important. I also have to leave a sticky note that I need to take or already took my pills. Do you know I take 12 pills in the morning and 9 at night? You know you're a pro if you can down 12 pills with one swallow of water. The vitamin D is huge. That fucker is the size of a grade A egg.  Sometimes I walk around the house wondering if I'm missing something. David always calls me throughout the day to ask if I took my morning pills. What are you making for dinner? Do you want me to pick up anything? Are the puppies in the house? Do they have water? Did you feed them? I know I have a short term memory problem and he wants to help me but fuck, give it a rest. It's not alzheimer's. Sometimes, just to make the phone conversation fun, I'll ask him what he's wearing. It takes him a couple minutes to answer and then I'll ask if he's smiling. 

Pain, Exhaustion, and Lucy Explodes

I did everything yesterday and there is nothing to do now. I thought of sitting outside, reading under the umbrella but it's too fucking hot and the humidity makes it worse. Feels as if the devil farted in your face when you open the door. Yeah, it's summer. I long to feel the cool breezes of autumn on my skin. I wish we could punch in a code and have the season we want all the time. * heavy sigh* So, I'll just sit here with the arctic chill of my AC blowing. I would give my soul for cool autumn all year long, CALM DOWN SATAN!! It's just a thought. I didn't write it in my own blood . . . yet. I'm just thinking about it.

I did overdo it outside yesterday morning. I was outside trimming the roses and watering the potted plants and I forgot about the sun beating down on me. I started feeling bad about 8:25 and went inside to lie down for a bit. David made me a large ice pack out of a ziplock bag because I was hurting everywhere. My muscles were aching so bad. Lucy spent her day with me in the bedroom watching over me. Poor little thing. She was visibly shaking. I'm guessing it was because of what happened to me a month ago when I fell and there were so many good looking buff firefighters and EMTs in the house. She's such a little worry wort. 

Anywho, I feel a little better but my body still hurts. If I get just a bit warm the pain gets worse. So today I'm reading in the living room where the AC will hit me dead on. I feel tired like I didn't sleep and I have no appetite. I hate this shit.

Something new about Lucy. Saturday, I was striping the bed to change the linens and she was jumping on the bed. When she was getting ready to jump off the bed, she suddenly sneezed and farted at the same time. She looked at David and me as we were laughing at what she did. I congratulated her on her first explosion. Yes, that's what I call it when you sneeze and fart at the same time. If you don't understand, just think about it a bit or email me and I'll explain it to y'all.

Religion in a Nutshell

Fuck You - I Had Stuff to Do

Sorry, I'm posting a little late today but I had to run errands and get my blood drawn again for my doctor's appointment next week. My appointment with my Orthopedic surgeon yesterday went fine. I told him that I have MCTD. He was more interested in the MCTD and the changes that I made in my lifestyle and diet than anything else. He was telling me he is trying to change his diet to a more plant-based diet and wanted to know what I was doing. Otherwise, I have to come back to see him in 6 weeks to see if I'll have surgery or not.

I have to tell all y'all this one true story. It made me laugh when it happened. 

Yesterday, when we got back from the doctor's office, I took Lucy out so she could do her business. She has had the stinky poots something awful since David gave her a bit of his Summer Sausage that he buys from Walmart. It stinks to high heaven and even worse when Lucy has some. Anywho, Lucy was standing under the pecan tree and she farted and I mean loudly. At that moment 3 little birds fell out of the pecan tree and started flapping their wings wildly like fish out of water. They flew away when they heard me laugh. I brought Lucy in and told David what happened and he laughed but in reality, the birds were fighting and fell coincidently at the right time. They were flapping around trying to get their bearings because they hit the ground so hard. It was just so funny because it all came together at the right time. You just can't make this shit up.

Wet Dog Wednesday

It's Tuesday - I Ain't Got Nuthin

Starbucks is closed today to teach their workers to be less biased or should that word be prejudiced. Yeah, right. As long as that Screaming Carrot Demon in the Oval Office continues to spew forth hate against Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims and Women, and until he and his enabling republicunt cronies are taken out of office we will have this fucking crap continuing. REGISTER and VOTE IN NOVEMBER!!! VOTE BLUE!!!

Okay, I'm done ranting. This past weekend I just relaxed and let David do his laundry. The only time I did anything was on Monday. Saturday I had a nasty migraine that nearly tried to take over my weekend. I nipped it fast. I still have a headache but it's a crying kitten trying in vain to get out of its cage. I've been taking aspirin to keep it controlled and it seems to be working. I was also feeling awful like I needed to go lie on the sofa for a bit. I wasn't feeling so great. It was almost flu-like so I had to take a nap and it seemed to work.  It's all part of the MCTD thingy I guess.

I'm wearing my leg brace like a good girl. I was walking without my brace last night to the bathroom to take a shower and for some reason, my knee slipped and slightly bent to the left inwards. Scared the fucking shit balls out of me. Why the fuck would my knee bend unnaturally sideways? I have a question about that when I see my Orthopedic surgeon tomorrow afternoon. I still worry when I'm not wearing it at night so I always leave the bedroom door open and I take my cane when I leave to get water from the kitchen. Otherwise, I still have another month and a half to wear this thing.
