Tough Shit Tuesday

I just got back from the Orthopedic Comedian's office. He said i was w a y ahead of myself  in getting through my recovery. The workouts at the pool and the home exercises, not to mention all your great prayers are helping. He was very happy in the outcome. But I will have to come back to see him in four weeks.

In a way it made me happy that I am doing so well, but I am so depressed that I'm not getting the sleep I so desperately need. The pain is absolutely unreal at night. I was crying on the way home. Thank the Goddess David was driving.

I did see something though that made me laugh. I don't know if any of you remember the bling week I had back in 2010 but this was the first item of bling I found on the web that weekend, check the blog for it. I'll wait ...

Well I saw a little VW Bug with a set of the lashes on it. A middle aged woman was driving it and all I could say was, "You go girl!" It was just the cutest thing. It got David's attention too. I asked if I could have a set with the rhinestone bling to go with it. He said he has to drive my car too. He didn't want to be laughed at. That's just the wet shits.

Just A Stupid Update

UGH!!! The past two days have been like farting shit balls.  It's been dreary and wet outside and I just love that kind of weather. It just doesn't love me. It has made the tissues on the sides and the backs of my knees swell up so bad that I walk like Frankenstein's Mutha.

Yepper's, I'm walking all stiff legged around the house. I just need to hang my arms out in front of me and well you get the picture. It was pretty funny when I was trying to get down the stairs in the front yard to get the mail. All stiff legged and ... ummm you get the picture.

Anywho I feel a whole lot better today.  I see my Orthopedic comedian on Tuesday next week and I intend to ask him if my knee area is going to swell up like this every time bad weather hits. If so I want better drugs. The Hydrocodone 7.5's were not working during that time and I was forced to take some Darvocet I had stashed away. It wasn't a good thing. I was really hoping to find some of my secret stash of hash but that didn't happen. I was so fucking pissed from the pain these past two days that David pretty much kept his distance, so did my appetite.

So now I'm hungrier than a bear. Thank the Goddess that I don't feel like making anything to eat. I'll wait till dinner. I'm making BBQ chicken for David and Kung Pao chicken with rice and home made veggy egg rolls for me. I always have to make him something different when I cook what he calls Bow Wow, Meow Meow. He hates Oriental food. To bad. Most of it is very good for you.

Well, I need to get changed and schlep my fat ass over to the Wellness Center to work out the rest of this stiffness in my legs in that nice heated pool of theirs.

The Crazy Witch's Daybook

My mood is:   We have some rainy weather out here so it makes me this way. I love rain. The sound, the smell. It makes everything clean.

What I heard this morning:  We found out that a Trader Joe's is coming to San Antonio. Well wuptyfuckingdoo. Everyone is happy about it like it was the Foodie Mecca of grocery stores. Big fucking deal! So what! I don't see any point in shopping in a store that has over priced goods.

Marty the Shed God

What I'm doing: Laundry and cleaning. This weather makes me crazy. So I have to compensate in some way to use up the excess energy. I was going to go outside and cleanup the courtyard but the rain says otherwise.

David is a messy builder. He likes to leave his toys all over in the courtyard area. So I have to pick them up and put the back in his work shed. That means I have to encounter the Shed God, Marty.

What ticks me off: DAVID'S DRIVING!!!!  IT SUCKS!!!!

This past Saturday afternoon, after my anxiety episode, David asked if I would like to take a ride with him to San Antonio. Of coarse I wasn't too sure if I should go but I decided I needed to get out and do this again. I asked him why and he said he wanted to take the LCD TV to get it fixed.

The sucker is a monster and it barely fit into the back seat of my car. When we bought it, we had David's truck to bring it home. Anywho, David drove to the place and we dropped it off for repairs. It was in a mini mall but there just happened to be a ginormous mall next to it. So we were leaving and David is driving around the mall and having to stop at every stinking stop sign.

I asked him if there was anywhere in particular he was thinking of going to.He said he had to get to an access road which he just happened to be skirting in the mall. Yeppers. I said is that the road you are looking for, pointing to his left. He said he didn't think so.

SOOOOO!!  fourteen stop signs later we turned right onto that very road. I just gave him a very long hot stare and didn't say a word. He said right after he put the flames out on his left shoulder that sometimes he should start listening to me. WHAT????  Did I hear that right??!! Shit I wished I had my recorder with me. I really have to take it with me more often.

We were driving along and I asked him why he puts his hands on the very top of the steering wheel. It causes the car to jerk side to side and he has no control. He said he liked it that way. Mmkay I shut up, jerking side to side. After five minutes, I said to pull the car over and let me drive the rest of the way home. He said why, you don't like my driving? Then he said he has never been in an accident in his whole life. At that time we were passing an accident scene. I blurted out that there was always the first time. Besides, I was getting sea sick. Of course he drove the rest of the way home. I didn't talk to him until Sunday morning.
Mental note * Always grab the car keys first or stay home.

What I'm reading: Life Support: Three Nurses on the Front Lines(Culture and Politics of Health Care Work) by Suzanne Gordon. It's basically about three nurses that work at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital. The shit they have to put up with. How they are trying to make it better for other nurses coming into the field by educating doctors about what nursing really is.

When I started reading this book, it reminded me of not only what nurses have to put up with the doctors. But the fact that other health care workers including nurses get no respect from doctors. Reading this book made me realize that it's a shame the way they are treated. I really recommend that you read this book. It will make you want to hug a nurse.

What's for dinner: Since the weather is all grey and rainy out. I think we'll have a salad and Manwiches. David went crazy when I said that I was making this tonight. The man was hoping for sloppy joe's and I love Manwiches so ....

Lawdy, What a Weekend !

I can't believe what all happened this weekend. First, it started Friday night with David taking me out to eat at a new place in town that is still trying to get their shit together. I like going to these places cause I like to let them know where they can improve. The place wasn't all that bad. They have pretty damned good food. They just have a bit of a problem with the wait staff and the fact that they have no liquor license yet. Otherwise it was a great place to eat.

David and I came into the place early and got a good table. We had no problem with anything. Then a party of four came in. Two women and two guys. One of the guys I could tell was gay because he went "Flame On" as soon as he entered. All he could do was complain about everything. They were seated next to me so I heard it all.

He complained about the tables, the chairs being hard wood and too heavy to move. He complained about the paper napkins, the menu items. But when the prima dona found out no booze was being served he grabbed his ginormous sunglasses and put them on and said out loud that he couldn't handle this. Then got up and sashayed out the door like a little princess. His friends were mortified.  They payed for their trouble and left to go find him I guess. Hell I would have kicked his ass.

Then Saturday morning David and I went grocery shopping. I am trying very hard to fight my anxiety problems and this was one of them. We were doing fine. Half the shopping was done and I was feeling good. Then it happened. I was with David in the canned foods aisle and he was looking at the gadgets which happen to line the other side. As I was walking and picking up cans of this and that I turned to put them into the basket but he wasn't there with me. I looked up the other aisle, no David. I went into a panic. When I found saw him in the meat area. I could have killed him.

I threw the cans into the cart and demanded the car keys. He asked why and I told him I wasn't feeling good. He came out later with the goodies and we drove home. I didn't talk to him the whole way home. I was totally furious with him. He knew I was a basket case and he knew not to leave me like that in the store.

When we got home I went into the bedroom and waited for him to finish putting away the groceries. I didn't feel like helping him with anything. He came into the room and I told him what happened and why I was mad. We didn't have a knock down drag out because we don't like to fight like that. We just talked and he knew he was in the wrong. It really bummed me out. Soooo next week Saturday, he and I are going to try this again. I told him not to go to far from me cause I'm still not ready. I really have to work on this problem though.

Funny Friday

A man returns home a day early from a business trip.  It's after midnight. While enroute home he asks the cabby if he would be a witness.  The man suspects his wife is having an affair and he wants to catch her in the act. For $100, the cabby agrees. Quietly arriving home, the husband and cabby tip-toe into the bedroom. The husband switches on the lights, yanks the blanket back, and there is his wife in bed with another man! The husband puts a gun to the naked man's head.  The wife shouts, "Don't do it! I lied when I told you I inherited money.  "HE paid for the Corvette I gave you.  "HE paid for our new cabin cruiser.  "HE paid for your season tickets for the Cowboys. "HE paid for our house at the lake.  "HE paid for our country club membership, and "HE even pays the monthly dues!" Shaking his head from side-to-side, the husband lowers the gun. He looks over at the cabby and says "What would you do?" The cabby replies, "I'd cover his ass with that blanket before he catches cold."

Stranger Than Shit

Mmkay, I got my coffee.
This past week has been a strange week for me. I went back to the Wellness Center(WC) to work out in the pool for an hour. It was great getting back into the swing of things but getting into the pool was a weird feeling.

When I got into the water my knees felt like they were pockets of jello and air. Now, I know there are metal pieces in there, but DAYUM!! It felt like air. It was also hard to walk in the pool cause my knees came up so easily. Such a strange feeling. But I did get one hell of a workout that was 10 times better than being out of water.

When it was time for me to get out, I was dreading it. You know that heavy ton of bricks feeling you get? Well to keep from getting it I took one step out of the pool and paused then another step out and paused. I didn't have that feeling at all. But walking was still a pain in the ass. Thank the Goddess my cane was near by.

Sheeeeeeeee's Baaaaaaack!!!

Yeppers, the one woman that gives "Jersey Wup Ass" it's name is back. If you don't know who I'm talking about, I'm sorry. She, aka Dark Mother, now The Hippy Jersey Devil is back with her snarky assed blog. Yep and she can write a mean one too. So welcome back Bitch! We all missed you.

Whoa, after that intro, I don't know what to do. Wait let me get some coffee and I'll be right back.
