Lousy Rainy Painful Day

I woke up in pain and didn’t sleep all that well last night so I had to cancel my dinner date with my friends. I was in too much pain. The rain didn’t help matters. I have been sleeping all day. I didn’t eat so when I woke up, I was hungry. I ordered a burger and onion rings. It was good. The onion rings were a little burnt but it was okay.

Oh, yea, My book is available on Kindle!! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MY2V8TF/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1483019682&sr=1-1&keywords=collerone

Check it out when you have a chance. I decided to go ahead with the electronic version first because the PDF looked ok. I want to see what the book looks like before I okay that. I should be getting the proof tomorrow. I expedited shipping so I could receive it faster.

I finally took a shower today. While I was taking my nap, I was sweating something fierce. My pjs were wet. I didn’t pee myself, which is what I thought at first but my underwear was dry. I was really hot under the covers. My mother has a cold so she has the heat on high. I am roasting in my room and will turn on the ceiling fan, again, soon.

I have been in an awful mood today because pain kept me from my friends. I feel really bad but there is nothing that I can do about it. I can’t walk, I can’t walk. Just bothers me. I just don’t want my friends to think that I am stiffing them.

My protein drinks came today. All in one fucking shipment. Thing weighed a ton. I think the heavier box was the Ensure. I got a case of that because there aren’t enough calories with the other protein drinks. I bought yogurt and puddings to help. I need sugar. I know it’s bad when you are on a diet but the drinks are sugar free and I know my body isn’t going to like that for three weeks. For six days, I will be watching my niece. I might have to stop the diet for that time so that we can at least eat the same foods. I would feel bad if she ate pizza (my favorite) and I had a protein drink.

I need to ship some stuff to a friend of mine tomorrow. I hope I am not in too much pain because I got to go to my PCP’s office to pick up my prescription and get it filled. I was going to get it today but that didn’t work out too well. I never called the dentist either. I can’t remember if I brushed my teeth this morning or not. I will have to do it before bed. I meant to brush while in the shower but my foot was acting up. I can only stand for so long and today I didn’t want to test how long. I had to put thermal socks on my feet because they were freezing by the time I got up to my room. My room might be really warm but the house is cold, despite the heat being on. I don’t understand it.

I hope I am not up all night like I was last night. I don’t think I can stand two nights in a row of not sleeping and being in pain all night. It might drive my death date sooner rather than later. I’m so tired of being in pain.

Christmas 2016

Christmas 2016

Merry Christmas to all my readers that celebrate it. Happy Hanukah for my Jewish readers and Happy Holidays to those that celebrate other holidays that I don’t know about!

It’s been an interesting day. I had a difficult morning and I still feel wicked sad about it. The grief for my father has been overwhelming the events of the morning, just making everything worse. I still feel weepy at times.

I had Christmas dinner with my family. I really didn’t want to go but my sister threatened to drag me if I didn’t so I went reluctantly. After dinner and desserts, I started to feel really sad and felt like crying so I said good-bye to all and came back to the comfort of my room. I was talking with my nephew. He looked like he was really depressed. He might have been tired. I am not sure which. I felt bad for him. We talked about stuff but nothing in great detail. I am sure he misses his grandfather like I was missing him. It’s the first Christmas without my father so it’s the hardest.

I never watched the movie last night. I was talking with a friend through FB and then it was time to take my meds. I felt sleepy so I told her goodnight. A few hours later, I was still up and wanted to talk to someone so I PM’d her to see if she was still awake and wanted to chat. She was so we talked some more. My meds kicked in and I finally fell asleep. I had told her good night again before doing so.

I completed my reading challenge last night. I read 23 books this year. I really wanted to read 40 but this year was not the year for it. I think I am going to read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child next. It should be easy as it’s all dialogue. Maybe I will end up with 24 books read if I finish it by New Years Eve.

Man, I had a sip of some spiked eggnog and got a wicked headache. It tasted more like a Pina colada. I didn’t like it at all. I like coconuts but not as a flavor.

I’m going to write my will soon. I have decided to end things in the coming year. I just am deeply upset over things that happened this morning and what was said and done cannot be undone or unsaid. Two bad days in a span of 48 hours have really taken a toll on me. I need to finalized things. I know what needs to be done because I had the experience with my father’s death. I don’t know when I will die, probably when I feel things are settled. I will go on like I usually do so my family doesn’t have a clue. If they read this blog, I don’t care. They are not living my life. They don’t know the amount of pain that I deal with on a daily basis. They don’t know how deep my depressions run. I am tired of explaining why I won’t see this doctor or that. I know they don’t have answers for me anymore. If 15 doctors can’t figure out what is wrong with me but 3 have told me that I have CRPS then that is good enough for me. Trouble is, there is no real treatment for it other than opioids. And I am tired of taking them around the clock.
