Slow day

I had a rough night sleeping last night so I slept kind of late. I just couldn’t get to sleep. I was reading my textbook and sneezing my head off. I finally took a Benadryl and was able to sleep but then my bladder kept me up like every two hours. It was not a good night.

I had breakfast of pumpkin pie and a yogurt. I only had one cup of coffee. I restarted the weight loss drug and so far I don’t have any side effects. I had leftovers for supper, turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes that someone ate. I was not happy with that. I also had some of the cheese thing my sister made. It was so good.

I went back to my room and went through email. My inbox was almost reaching 200 unread emails so I went through them. Some of them were old and could be deleted. Others I just filed in their folder. I went down to 94. I had to stop because I got bored. I then took a nap and didn’t get until 630pm. I need to shower and shave but I have no energy. I am supposed to go over my cousin’s tomorrow for the OSU game. I need to shower at least. Maybe I will after this blog.

I called my cousin and he has the flu. I won’t be near him anytime soon. I don’t remember if I talked to him yesterday or not. I think I did. He was ok then. Weird how viruses can come on so quickly. My niece was getting over a cold. I have been lucky so far that I haven’t been sick. But then I rarely leave the house and I always wash my hands when I get home.

I am tired. I was going to read one of my psych things but I don’t think I have the stamina for it. If the shower wakes me up, maybe I will read some of it. It is 13 pages. I don’t know why the articles are so fucking long. Just hope it reads better than Freud.

Thanksgiving 2025

Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate. I had a good time with family. There was a lot of my favorite foods. My sister made a good cheese snack thing. I made butternut squash. It was good and I think I was the only one that ate it. My sister roasted the squash that my cousin gave us. I don’t really like butternut squash roasted. I had a slice of pumpkin pie and that was it. I can’t eat anymore.

I had a horrible time sleeping. I kept waking up to pee and had weird dreams in between voids. I didn’t get up till 12 when my sister asked if I was going to make the squash. I wanted to get up around 11 but I was so sleepy. I got sleepier after I ate. I wanted to nap but haven’t yet.

This was the puppy’s first Thanksgiving and she loved smelling all the food. She got some turkey and sweet potatoes. My niece let her roam the yard until my sister scared her with her screen door. Then she wanted to go upstairs. She is so skittish. Definitely not a protector dog.

I took my blood pressure because it has been a few days since I last took it. It was high. I can’t wait to go back on my blood pressure meds to lower it. Tues I am supposed to get a call from nursing about it.

I managed to have two cups of coffee while the squash was cooking. I wish I had some cookies to eat with it but I am glad I didn’t because by the time the squash was done, it was time to go downstairs for the main feast. There was so much food we didn’t have a place to keep it all. My sister made two pans of stuffed shells but we only went through one. I will have them tomorrow for lunch. There wasn’t much turkey leftover. It was a small bird.

I got to do some reading tonight. I am going to rest my head for a little bit and then read the textbook. I got to get through it so I can move on to the next set of readings.

Headache and being up early

I woke up at 4 and couldn’t go back to sleep. I waited till my sister left for work and then got up for coffee. I took my meds. I was kind of hungry so made pancakes. The only thing I had to do today was pick up my meds in the square. I planned on doing that in the afternoon. I had two cups of coffee and then went back to my room.

The puppy is still with her daddy. He is supposed to bring her by sometime today but hasn’t yet. I was able to nap for a couple of hours. I really shouldn’t have as it just made me tired. I had some turkey breast that my sister bought for me. It was around noon. I waited another hour before getting ready to leave. The bus schedule was so far apart. I decided to take the later bus so I would get to the square around 2 when they opened after their lunch break. Pharmacist take their break at 130-2 each day.

I got my meds and some vitamins that I was running low on. I forgot to get toothpaste. I will just run to the store tomorrow and grab it. I am the only person that buys it. I got a little headache when I came home and it just got worse. My post nasal drip is out of control. I keep gagging. I have been trying to drink water but it doesn’t do anything. I used some Flonase. Sometimes that helps.

I tried taking a nap but my phone kept going off. There has been a lot of Sox news today and the guy I follow I have on notifications so he kept going off every time he posted something. Looks like we might be losing one of the good rookie pitchers. I am sad to see that happen. But we got Sonny Gray!! I think he came up through the Sox farm system. He is a really good pitcher but has not done good at Fenway in his career. Hopefully that will change.

I feel depressed. While I was having coffee and turkey breast, the house was empty and quiet. I missed my mother. She would be baking cookies and tomorrow she would make her stuffing that I love. I would always eat some of it. One year, I ate a good corner of it. It was so good. I love it. Her last Turkey day with us she said she missed her brother Joe. Coincidently, she is buried next to him so they are together. I kind of wish we had put her maiden name on the eulogy. I remember my father wanted her to change her name back to it. He was a jerk about stuff like that. I missed him too today. He would be over my sister’s shoulder as she cooked to make sure she was cooking the way he does. He wouldn’t eat what she made though. LOL He never would eat something that someone else cooked. He thought he was the grand chef, better than any restaurant in the world.

My lamp bulb that I have had for at least 10 years finally gave out today. It was flickering and then there was a smell. I switch to the overhead light and then took it out. It was getting burn marks on one of the threads. I don’t think I have another bulb. I had a bunch of them but no idea where they are and I specifically need a 60w bulb. My brother in law is going to get me one. Hopefully it is one of the LED/energy saver kind. Otherwise I will have to buy one when I get paid next week. I’m just glad I was home when it was starting to go.

Tomorrow depending on the weather, I need to go to the grocery store. I want my squash and need a thing of half and half. My sister got me some but it is only a quart, which will only last me a few days. That is all I really need for now. Next week I have a bigger order as I need to order my Powerades. My yogurt is on sale which is nice as well as my favorite cheese. I am so tired. I really hope I don’t wake up in the middle of the night again but it has become a habit. I know I should have gotten up and tried reading but I wasn’t in the mood. I tried reading with this headache. It’s a 40 page article and I am only on page 16. I am wonder what the hell I am reading because, though it is interesting, it doesn’t float my boat. I have two more online readings to do plus textbook. Today I got the new stuff and a preview of the exam. Sounds like there will be groups assigned for the exam but she said it was short and only 90 mins so I can’t imagine like 5 of us working on stuff, unless it is cumulative. Then holy fuck am I screwed. I hope it isn’t. I think evaluations will come next week. My advisor emailed me early this morning about registering for class. I told her I can’t register until the 1^st. if I can’t, I will pick another class.
