same shit different day

Same shit different day

I don’t know if it was because of the alcohol I drank last night or my stomach just being upset, but I slept a few hours and woke up at 3. Then I couldn’t go back to sleep to save my life. I read. I took Ativan, I played games. Nothing was working for me.

By the afternoon, I felt wicked down. I missed my mother. My sister called me to do some food thing and I told her no. I had to take a shower as I smelled. I’ve been leaking pee today every time I had to go. I needed to change my clothes as I have been in them all week. I felt kind of better after my shower.

I went to help my sister after I showered. I had to deal with garlic for the scampi. She wanted seven fishes and we had seven fishes. I only ate two, scallops and the shrimp scampi. It was a nice dinner. We all were stuffed afterwards. We had some desserts. My niece made some awesome oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that were so good.

I am really tired now and I might be heading toward overtired. I took my night meds late. Which means I will be up later than I usually am. I might read some after I finish playing my game. My stomach hurts and I hope I won’t be up in the middle of the night again. I need to sleep at least through to five or six in the morning to get my hours in.

I’m not coming to my senses

I’m not coming to my senses

Today is my birthday. I was slow in doing anything. I had a cup of coffee at noon. My phone kept going off but I ignored the messages. I had a few phone calls. My cousins called me wishing me a happy birthday and so did my goofy sister. She called at like 7am. I wasn’t up. I got up around noon. I wanted to get my meds and deposit money in my account. I never went to the library. I will try and go tomorrow.

My sisters and I went out for some drinks and food at my favorite place. I had some wings and a burger. I also had a gin and tonic and two whiskey sours. I am fairly drunk as I should be. I had a good time even though I didn’t win at Keno. My sister won over $200. She is lucky like that. I think my father plays a hand in her winning. We all had fun tho.

I came home and put my meds in the fridge. The new dog was here all day today. She is a good girl. If I wasn’t drunk, I would take her for a walk. I can barely sit up straight, LOL. I miss my Honey though. I am not used to the new dog. She is gorgeous though. A pitbull/husky mix. She is on the small side. She is about the same size as Honey. She is two years old and trained. I love her as much as Honey.

I haven’t seen episodes 3 and 4 of the Taylor documentary yet. I am too tired to watch it tonight. The alcohol is just going through my head. I am wicked tired. My niece’s ex brought both dogs to the house at like midnight and they were rambunctious. One of them started barking. I don’t like my niece’s ex. I don’t think he should have two dogs as he can barely take care of one.

up early again 2

Up early again

I woke up probably between 5 and 530. I couldn’t get back to sleep. I had another difficult night. I managed a few hours of sleep. I had a weird dream and then my own snoring woke me up. It was hot in my room but the fan made it cold. I had to put socks on as my feet were freezing. They took forever to warm up and I had on thermal socks. Then my CRPS foot flared up and my back started hurting. I was debating taking a pain med but it keeps me up and I knew I wouldn’t sleep. I had to be somewhat alert for my party.

I got up and took my meds. Then had a cup of coffee. I don’t know what I want to eat. I am not really hungry but am thinking boiled eggs. I will have that after I write this blog. I finished a chapter in the trans book I am reading. It is a really good book. I might get copies for the trans clinic I go to. I don’t remember how much I paid for the book. I will have to look it up.

I sent an email to a friend that I have spoken to in a while. We have been email friends for more than 20 years. She lives in Mass but south of me. We try to visit one another at least once a year but lately it hasn’t been working out. The last time we saw each other was before the pandemic. She has moved a few times since then. I am not sure where she is now. I know she was by the commuter rail last time we chatted but I don’t know if that is still the case.

I am trying to stay up but I am tired. My foot still hurts. We are supposed to get snow on my birthday so I think that is why it is flared up. My headaches have also returned. I had a few days of relief with the steroids but I think the weather is fucking with me. I need to contact my pcp tomorrow as yesterday when I showered I felt a lump in my groin. I felt it before. It doesn’t hurt but it is kind of big. I don’t know if it is a hernia or what. I don’t see my pcp till the end of Jan so I rather deal with this now rather than later, before the semester starts.

My sister is in the kitchen doing god knows what. I hate when she is in there because she is always in my way. Think I will take a nap and then make something to eat.
