I honestly don’t know what to do with myself today. I started reading one of the articles that I bought, then thought I should probably finish “Far From The Tree”. I have about 300 pages but it’s hard reading it because it’s about kids with disabilities. One of the chapters have to deal with rape and I am not looking forward to that one.

I finished having lunch. My sister made clam chowder and it was so good. I plan on having some ham next but I am kind of full from the chowder.

I finally bought a couple of new journals from Barnes and Noble. Apparently, that is the only place where I can get them that are more than 80 pages. I should get them after the first of the year. I also bought DVDs from Amazon. Next week I need to go to my favorite stationary store to get a calendar for the new year. I could have bought it off Amazon but I want to check out the pens at the store. I need a refill for one of the pens that I have so it will work out. I just hope they have it. I really like this pen and would hate to have to toss it because I can’t get a refill.

I went to Walgreens to get some binder clips and to refill my prescription, which was too early by a day. I have to go back tomorrow to pick it up. My leg is hurting and I hope it’s better by tomorrow. After a fellow blogger’s advice, I am using my cane to get around. I was reluctant to use it but after I nearly took a tumble down some steps, I think it’s a wise choice. At least until I find out what is wrong with my leg.

I feel kind of racy today and I don’t know why. I want to do so many things. I want to write the paper that I have been thinking of, read my books and articles, and then write some more in my journal. This is what I am thinking of doing. I also need to write a letter to my therapist. She is on vacation and I think she will like them. I hope to mail them out by Thursday so it will be in the office sometime next week. I won’t write her a ton like I have in the past.

While trying to find a specific pen, I found my ceramic Egyptian pen. I started writing a letter to my therapist with it last night. I love this pen. It’s like a V ball but sharper. When I was at Walgreens, I found the pen I was looking for but it was almost ten bucks for a three pack. It had blue, black, and red. I just wanted the black pen so couldn’t justify spending the money on it. I am sure the black pen will surface when I am looking for something else.

I slept till 0800. I don’t ever recall sleeping this late. It felt good to wake up and it not be earlier than that. I forget what time I went to sleep though so I don’t know how many hours I slept. I hope this raciness stops soon. I am just glad that it’s not restlessness because I need to rest my leg so it doesn’t hurt. I don’t feel elated or manic-like. I don’t feel really good either. I can’t explain why my thoughts are going in a million directions. I think it’s because I want to get the stuff off my bed and the only way to do it is by reading through it. I’m glad I didn’t make coffee when I had breakfast. I would be going bonkers!

I’m starting to take one of my muscle relaxers twice a day to see if that helps with my leg pain. The pill is the size of a penny and taking the sucker is a challenge. When I take it at night, I have to take it first just in case it doesn’t go down right away. I have to drink a lot of fluid to make sure it doesn’t get stuck in my throat. That is why I hate taking it more than once a day. Sometimes it goes down okay and other times it doesn’t. Most times, it doesn’t. I should have let the doc keep me at a lower dose but take more pills. Next time I see him, I will ask if he can change the dose and just increase the amount I take so I am not choking on the pill.
