busy
So therapy today was good. I think I'm liking my therapist, he makes me think, and he's pretty blunt with me, which is nice. I'm seeing him again next week. I really do think he has a crush on me though. Like, he told me I'm attractive and anytime I said something negative about Jeremy he would tell me he was exactly the opposite, and he kept mentioning that he's single... so yeah. I just play dumb though and keep talking. Another good thing about that place is my new crush, Mr. Security Guard. He is so cute!! Tall, and dark haired, nice smile, friendly (it would seem)... I couldn't muster up the courage to talk to him though. I didn't know what to say. Plus he probably thinks I'm crazy, like everyone else that goes there. Ugh, sucks. I NEED IDEAS!! PICK-UP LINES!! ANYTHING! When I left though I gave him my best I-think-you're-adorable-and-I-want-you smile, and he said "See ya" and I said "Bye..." in my most playful voice. So maybe I can build on that next time.. Maybe I'll pretend I need directions somewhere next time, and then go from there..?
Anywho, other than that my day has been pretty typical. I got a lot of errands done though, so I'm feeling pretty good about that. More to do tomorrow, and all week probably. My sister comes back from Budapest on Wednesday! I'm excited.
*Probably going to be long ass blog! Stop reading now if you don't like reading rambling crap about my life!*
Where to start, where to start! Okay lets talk about that laptop I wanted to throw out the window!:D That laptop is Luke's. A foreman in Randy's company. Randy is the IT/Comp Tech Support Guy also and Luke the idiot got a very nasty virus on his laptop by hitting porn and not so on the up and up blogging sites. Randy took one look at the laptop issues and point blank informed his bosses that they best put a stop to the porn and other crap on company computers or they will get a nasty virus on the server and then will end up paying Randy out the ass to get everything back up.
So why was I working on the laptop? Well Randy was home each night up until last night because he was traveling to area job projects instead of working on his own project and I was having surgery yesterday. Randy also has 3 other new comps that he has to set up for one of the owners and two other foreman and didn't have time. He contracted my serves out to his company and I am going to be paid 15 bucks an hour when I tech out any company computers and laptops now. Luke's alone I made $180 bucks on cause Randy wasn't lying, Luke had a NASTY ass virus on his laptop. But I got it up and going, free and clear of all viruses, all his work programs back on and updated, and Randy finished it out by setting up the company email. This by the way was part of Sunday and all day Monday.
Tuesday, I packed the kids for an overnight at my parents house, kept callign randy in Orange City to make sure he was at the kids' school play (pictures and video to come later-same with DeLaney's sleep over) on time and to make sure he didn't run on Randy time. Sometimes known as running on: Indian time, Hispanic time, Pagan time, and Druggy time!. That irritates the FARK out of me. The kids' holiday play was at the St. Aug's church and it was packed! K-8th grade were all involved and not only were parents and siblings there but lots of grandparents, aunties, and uncles. My parents didn't go because my dad is still not getting around the greatest. It takes about 5-6 months to get complete feeling back in his nerves and regain balance from Guilliam Barrer's syndrom. Thus why I took tons of pictures and some video. Did I mention that I figured out my camara has video!:D After the play, where I ran into alot of highschool friends and their parents and a few of my sister and brother's highschool friends and parents, Randy took Coltin to my parents while DeLaney and I ran to the bar and got some food for all of us because we didn't get to eat before hand. Micky, the cook that night, LOVEs kids and I had a hard time getting DeLaney and Micky to understand that we had to go. He bellied DeLaney up to the bar got her a free Sprit, gave her a few dollars in quarters to play the bar video game, darts, and played a round of pool with her. Then DeLaney mentioned she just turned 9 and the bartender that night, Cole gave her a bowl of maschino cherries and had Micky make her up some cheesy fries which they aren't suppose to do:D. I finally got DeLaney and myself out of the bar 45 minutes later and took her to my parents, got the kids going on their food, talked to my parents for a lil bit, reminded my dad to pick the kids up at 1:30 on Wensday due to them starting Winter break. I then took my happy ass home and crawled into bed. Four thirty in the morning comes really early when your not use to it!
Wensday I had to be at the Surgery Center at 6:30, which ment leaving the house at 5:30. It is about 45 minutes to the hospital and surgery center, and since we do live in an area where a lot of folks start work between 5-6, we had to contend with morning traffic. I was soooooo happy, the X-Rays on my left knee showed a LOT of damange, possible damage to my ACL graft from highschool, and other ligaments needing repaired, the doc got in there (i was his first surgery of the day...woot!) and granted he took out a good portion of my cartilege and bone spurs, my ACL graft and other reconstruction from 15 years ago was still going strong!
Since I was the first paitent of the day, we were home by 11 am, and Randy still had my dad go get the kids because I had a ruff go of coming out of anistisha this time around. I was out of the surgery center faster but we aren't sure if it is because they have been inside this knee before or what, but I can actually say I am not getting around as well as I did with my last knee surgery. They sent me home with lidocaine, darvest, and a small dosage of demoral. I am to also take an asprin a day and take the ibrophine between the other pills. I have such a high tolerance to pain meds and a high thresh hold to pain that none of this shit seems to be working. Plus my mom and I didn't get a hold of Grandma Whitewater to get a hold of any of the local herbs for a pain killing type tea and now we are tryign to get a hold of her, which is hard beause she lives down bottom and no phone. So I am having to deal with the pain as much as possible. The animals are worried as hell and the kids actually jumped Randy's ass last night after I hobblied upstairs at 9 after taking a couple darvest with ibprophin about him being on the road till tomorrow night. Randy is feeling very very guilty and has left a list of phone numbers and things for the kids just in case something shoudl happen. My dad is also goign to hobble his ass up a couple of times today to check on me. This go around, I am settling in one place and dayumed if I move my knee is that swelled and hurting that bad.
On the up note with Randy though, he felt so guilty about leaving this morning at 4 to be gone till Friday night, that my hosue is clean, the majority of the laundry is done, most of the presents are wrapped, he cooked dinner and he is going to try and get a hold of one of my friends to get my prescriptioni for more pain pills and my diabetic meds with out me having to leave the house and drive. I reminded him I need to get grocieries and he got really upset with me and said I shouldn't because I am having more issues and I said well your not going to be home till friday and the kids are now on Winter Break I need to have some extra items in the house! So the butt head called my mom an hour ago and asked her to take me shopping tonight and make sure I was in one of those old people scooters as he calls them and to take my van keys from me so I wasn't attemptign to ttake the kids to taekwondo tonight or tomorrow night!
Thankfully my mom pointed out to him that regardless if I am in pain or not that I will run my house and get my errands done. And also reminded him that I can deal with the pain, I just can't deal with my schedule going all to hell which if I am stuck home will. But she did promise him, that my meds will be gotten by my friend and she would take me up tonight to go shopping and that I would have the pain management that I needed. She also reminded him that the kids are on Winter Break so I will have to keep them busy this whole time and he needs to understand when Mom goes down, she doesn't actually go down, she can't, things just slow up some but I will have everything done. I have a feeling that Randy is going to do all the cleanign when he gets home! Yay!
So that is what has been going on here. Winter Break for the kids and Pain Management for Me:D
I could barely get out of bed yesterday, but ... the fever has broken, and I feel much better. Good thing, too, because I have several errands to run today before work. Just wanted to say ... keep your eye out for this bug. I haven't even had a cold in 3 - 4 years, but this thing knocked me out!
Off to have the car repaired ...
The continuing saga ...

No visit to the gym on Wed because there were 3 million cars in the parking lot. The gym is in a strip mall sort of shopping center and parking is limited anyway. I had no idea the place would be packed at 7PM. So, I got in 30 min of cardio treadmill work done. I had thought to go in tomorrow and get some more treadmill time, but after the pains of this evening, I'm having second thoughts.
I wandered over to Staples to see if they had any decent shredders. They did, but the larger ones were quite expensive. As in well over $100. Eep!
Costco was my next hope for a shredder. I got the same model as the last one. Maybe I shouldn't since the old one kinda died. It doesn't want to shred because it thinks the drawer isn't in. I couldn't wait any longer. I have tons and tons of statements and bills that need to be disposed of. I had Costco pizza for lunch with some non-fat frozen yogurt. It was so nice to get to eat pizza again. I dearly love pizza and have missed it over these weeks of yuckness.
Off to the salon to get a manicure/pedicure. The little Asian lady did a nice job.. It's a shame I messed my fingernails up when I got home. But it was nice to have some pampering after all this stress, trauma and worry about what's up with my innerds. My hands are painted in a bright fuschia. My toes are a bright red with little flowers leaves and vines.
It was finally time to pick up the kids and they looked pretty glad to see me. Little faces staring intentely at me from a wire cage across the room. They look much better and smell nice, too! I had no idea people take their dogs in every two weeks to get groomed. Wow! That would get expensive. Once every other month seems fine to me. I can bathe them and brush them, but the clipping, trimming and such are just too much.
While on the way home from the groomers, I started getting some pretty bad pains in my mid-right abdomen. By the time I got home and got the kids out of their travel kennel, the pains were coming swift and getting worse. It got to the point where I couldn't stand up, couldn't lie down and could sit sit kinda hunched over. No deep breaths, no talking, just grunts here and there. At one point I nearly called my Dr, but since it was after 5, I figured he'd tell me to go to Urgent Care or something (it's in my head, remember?). The pains were getting my anxiety to ramp up, so I took a klonopin and it knocked me out. A couple of hours later and I was feeling much better. Still a bit crampy, but at least I can sit straight again. Unfortunately, I screwed up my nail polish but getting it mashed into my hair somehow. Oh well, it prolly won't last long, anyway.
u take goofy pictures of urself! XD yeah, there's reading i should have done, but i also did my laundry n when i got done w/ that i had half an hour before i needed to go to campus for my tutoring course, so i didn't have time to do much. and it was bright in my room, so i had my sun glasses on, n i caught a glimpse of me in the mirror n thought i looked hot today XD but none of the pictures really came out the way i wanted them to. :( don't u hate that? when u see urself n u think u look so good, so u take a pic of urself n then when u see the pic it doesn't look n e thing like what u see in the mirror? i wonder who's right, me or the camera...or neither? hmmm...after all, we don't actually see ppl n the other stuff around us, we just see the light bounching off of them...(lol, physics :P) but yeah, i keep getting in these goofy moods n then they fade today, i dunno why, must be something to do w/ the fact that i had only once class today, but its friday, n i can do so much but i don't feel like it, so instead i'm getting really bored? i dunno. but apparently Kim called suddenlink instead of waiting for me to get home n do it, which bothers me a tad because she said all she needs is the late notice n she should send the check, but i don't know if she means a seperate paper or the bill that says we owe that much or what. i asked her in a text, n she didn't respond, so i just put the papers on the table n wrote my check for the half of this bill n put them on the table n texted her telling her that they're there. i also called the landlady n she wasn't home, so i gave her the measurements on the blinds n on her answering machine n also asked about if i wanted to move out before the lease was up, what would i have to do n what expenses would i have to pay, etc. i'm a little insecure about moving out w/ emo jimmy cuz i haven't talked to him much, but i dunno. we'll see. i also called this chik who does aromatic medicine i think for Emma Center clients n i left a message on her answering machine. i don't know much about that stuff, but i figured that since its free i might as well give it a shot, right?:P
so i was waiting for these two calls n i heard my phone start to vibrate, (it vibrates n then it rings), n Gabby was calling me! :D i have not seen her ALL WEEK! that's the first thing she said to me when she answered, too, lol! (n oddly i've seen Cindy n Albert at least three times this week- when they saw me in town, after class on Wednesday when i was walking to the J w/ NORML Eric n this girl Anabel that's been in tons of my other classes, n then again today when i was on the way to my one class on Fridays) we talked a bit n i'm probably gonna go over there at about 7:30, giving me a few hours to kill. its weird, tho, cuz i just ate before my class n already i'm SO HUNGRY again!! i'm trying to wait a couple more hours before i go eat again, tho. on the other hand, i don't like eating right before i drink because then it tends to take me longer to get drunk, but i dunno. Gabby said she wants to go to a party tonight, but i'm not sure. i only wanna go to a party if there's gonna be ppl there i know. its weird to go to a random party where the only ppl i know are gabby, josh, john, n sarah. i'd rather to go a party where most of the ppl there were ones i knew like the NORML Day after party, but yeah. even if we don't all get fucked up, it would just be nice to hang out n all that again. i told Gabby about how Mike n Jon are in my bio class n how when i introduced myself to the professor after lecture yesterday, (she recognized me cuz i was in her class last semester n i asked questions n sometimes talked to her about things after class if i had the time, but she didn't know my name), Mike was giving me dirty looks like he was disgusted to see me there. lol. fucking LOSER! asshole. but i also told her about how ruben's in the lab i'm working in, n he kept giving me looks like he was not happy i was there, too. i figure i can tell her about the rest of the drama later once we've all met up n such, but yeah. we also wanna coordinate our schedules to see if there's a time we can all hang out like we did last semester XD so we'll see. but that's it for now! i'll bb laterz!
