I Had A Flare . . .

Sunday, March 10, 2019
I had a really bad Lupus flare this morning. I just could not function and my body quite literally wanted to shut down. I had to push myself to complete the laundry. David said I should eat something. I can't. I think I slept most of the day away and I still feel bad right now. I have a slight fever and my body hurts. I took my pills and 2 Tylenol. At this point in time, I really want to roll up in a tight ball in bed and just sleep. Goddess, please, make it stop, my head hurts, my eyes hurt and my ears are ringing like crazy. If I call David, he will say let's go to the ER. They won't do anything for me. ER docs have no idea what to do with Lupies. I need to go back to bed. I hurt.

Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Let the good times roll! It's fat Tuesday, y'all. Eat drink and be merry. I hope the revelers are all bundled up because it's cold out. It's 30 degrees here again in the sun and I have no idea what it is in the shade. It's just too fucking cold to go out today. Oh, it's been colder than this here in my part of Texas before and for a longer time. I just hope this freeze has been long enough to kill the bugs that came out earlier last week when it was warm. 
Speaking of bugs. Texas has a big problem with leaf cutter ants. The little critters can strip a rose bush in half a week for one nest. They can take over a yard in a month and will even go after trees. They need the leaf cuttings to line their colony walls so that they can keep their environment a constant temperature. The right temperature will produce their food which is a fungus. 
So conventional ant pellets used to sterilize the queen that is on the market won't work. Ants won't take the pellets into the colony to feed on because they live on the fungus. Well, they are gone now. The regular environmentally friendly pellet shit wasn't working so a few weeks ago I asked David to whip up some Snyper and spray the yard then I told him to spray the ant holes and their trails really good. Haven't seen an ant here in the yard in weeks. He keeps asking me to go check to see if there are any new nests. None so far. Every day he asks me on the phone to walk the yard for ants. He will actually call me on the phone from work to get the ant news. Yeah, the man is crazy. But I can understand why too. The little bastards took every single leaf from my rose bushes in the garden and were working on my potted lemon trees that I put on the porch for the sunshine. These ants will brave the cold to find a single leaf. So no ants this morning. I think the spraying worked. Also, now my rose bushes are budding with new leaf buds. I covered the bushes because of the cold and tomorrow the weather is supposed to start warming up. I'm just so glad that the roses are coming back. I thought they were dead.
Y'all have a magical day. I have work to get to.

It's Monday . . . Beware . . . and Stuff

This whole fucking weekend I've been having trouble with my computer passwords. I cleaned my computer of all the trash and all the folders that still contain pictures and memes that I've used. Then I performed a disk cleanup and I defragged the shit out of it. I cleaned it within an inch of its life. Then I gave it a name because I give all my computers names. There was the desktop computer that I called the Mothership. I use her only for program storage now. There was Little Hal, my HP Mini laptop that I used until the little guy committed suicide by blowing his innards up. Yeah, he overheated, somehow. It was a messy death.
So now I have Evil, my current HP laptop. I call him Evil because he fights with me all the time. I save things into his memory and he refuses to cough them up. I have a password saving program and Evil refuses to let it work. So I purged the password program and now I have to write everything down. But when I go back into a medical website days later, Evil declares that the password is wrong. So we fight until I have to take drastic measures and create a new password. Evil will try my patience just one too many times and I will throw his nasty carcass across the room and ask David to order another refurbished Laptop for me because Evil died a horrible ugly death much like Little Hal did before him. I'll make it look like an accident. Again.
It's fucking cold! Yes! Yes, it is. The temperature is a nice cool 65 inside the house but it's 30 outside and will get to about 35 today unless the sun goes supernova then we're all screwed. Don't you just hate when that happens? It will be cold like this until Thursday where it will get back into the 70's again. Only in Texas.
Lucy, resting her head on my
elbow, watching me type
Anyhoo, I've been keeping the puppies warm. Lucy is laying on the cool floor right now because she overheated herself under her blanket. She will eventually come up to me on the sofa asking to be tucked back under her blanket but in the meantime, she's watching me closely while I type. Spunky is snoring like the old man he is. 
Spunky, the ol' man, sleeping soundly all
wrapped up in his blanket on the loveseat.
That ol' boy can sleep through cannon fire. He's deaf and blind so nothing bothers him. He sleeps when he wants, plays like a puppy and eats like a hog at mealtime. He has the house and yard memorized so that when I let them outside he walks around like he has his eyesight. Sometimes his gyroscope goes off kilter and he gets a bit lost, Lucy will go to his rescue and guide him. She's a good girl. We won't have him put to sleep unless he starts having pain. Then we will have him checked out by the vet and do what is necessary for him. Having him for 16 years has been a fun ride. He's been a great dog and we hope he will continue for a while longer even though he's past his freshness date.
We had the crazy weather front that came through Texas last week Tuesday, boomerang on us yesterday mid-morning. It was so fucking delightful. Oh yes. I've been hurting all over my body but mainly my back and legs since it came through. I can't seem to shake the pain off this time., even with exercise. Last night I had to turn the waterbed heater up to the medium setting because I was hurting so bad. When I came to bed after my shower, it was so wonderful. Like my entire body was sleeping on a heating pad. I was worried that David would get overheated because he runs hot all the time. He said he was fine because the room was cold. 
I had the weirdest dream early this morning because I was awake most of the night. But it was the funniest dream I have ever had. It had to do with the devil who for some reason was Jeromy Irons in his younger days. I'll tell y'all about it tomorrow. If I remember.
Well, I have some laundry to do and a house to clean before I lose my energy level. 
Y'all have a magical day.
