Technology and I

Technology and I

I would like to think myself as tech savvy but my recent experience with Tumblr proved me wrong. Like Instagram, I cannot figure it out, but was able to get my blog linked to it. That is as far as I got. I followed a few people, mostly just two people that I know: Wil Wheaton and Taylor Swift. I think the third would be George Takei. He was in my feed as well. So three people out of a billion. I don’t have many friends that I know that use this app. I don’t even know how to post on it or communicate. I am failing miserably at technology. But I do know all things Twitter and Facebook, which is the main forms of communication these days. I just don’t get that many responses on Twitter like I do Facebook sometimes. And because my phone is getting ancient, I can’t download the latest Starbucks app. It keeps having download error while installing. I miss that app.

I wasn’t sure I was going to blog today because I have been feeling shitty all day. Ankle and bowels have been acting up. Well, the ankle is. My bowels are stagnant and they hurt. In other words, I am constipated to the high heavens. It is very uncomfortable. I have been drinking water to try and loosen things up but to no avail. I haven’t gone in three days. I went a little bit earlier today but I still am backed up. I can feel it. Wish technology can help me out but it can’t. I don’t think the senna is working like it used to. I even have been taking fiber pills to get things moving. No luck.

It sucks when you take so many meds that constipate you. It’s really hard to keep on top of. I used to have a good routine but when I stop having to take the senna because I have to go out, that is when the trouble starts. I get backed up for a day and then two, then three, and now I am sick and uncomfortable. Plus because my bowel doesn’t work the way it normally does, it makes it harder for shit to move down the shoot. Got to love having an impaired bowel on top of being constipated.

I haven’t been in a good mood today. I really just want to sleep. Sleep and never wake up. I had what can now be called my usual sleeping pattern of waking up in the wee hours of the morning and then going back to sleep around eight. I got up around noon because I was starving. I made a bacon and cheese sandwich. I usually enjoy these sandwiches but today I could hardly finish it. I had some ice cream afterwards because I wanted something sweet. It was all I ate before dinner. I didn’t even want to eat dinner tonight which was stir fry chicken and rice. I mostly just ate the rice. It was all that I could stomach. Then I came up to my room and I thought I was going to puke it all up. I know it’s because I am so backed up. I haven’t had a good movement in a week. It sucks. I wonder if my sleep is causing the constipation to be worse. I just need to be in a routine again. I might have to start taking magnesium supplements again. That helps me. It won’t hurt and might also help the leg pain I have been having. I just hate being so miserable all the time. If it’s not one thing, it’s another. I can never find a happy medium.

Today was a good day as far as the weather is concerned. It was really bright with sunshine and very warm. I think it hit 80 degrees today. It’s supposed to be warm all week. I guess pretty soon I will have to make room for my brother in law to put in the AC. I still need to vacuum my room a little bit. Been meaning to do so for a while but just am so lazy and unmotivated.

In Red Sox news, Hanley has just injured himself and left today’s game. There goes the season if he is placed on the DL. Not like the season is going good anyways, but to lose his power in the lineup, just sucks. I know it’s still early in the season and we are a long way off from October but the way things have been going, there is just no way I can see this team making it to the post season. It’s just going to be another horrible year. And my heart breaks. I know you can’t win every game, but a few in a row wouldn’t hurt!
