What eww? Lol
I just...I don't know how else to explain it. There's like all these square shaped welts all over my back from the stupid things, and cuz Henry keeps trying to move them so they don't keep irritating the same place....it's just sort of what it looks like.
*shrugs*
I sorry if I grossed you out talkin' bout my checker board back though. Lol

It's hard to find a comfortable position anywhere when it feels like anything and everything that touches you hurts.
It's my own stupid fault for forgetting my medicine when I was supposed to take it though, soooo...just have to deal.

Hmmmm....I don't know if I have any skills that don't revolve around stabbing things.

Charla told us today that she's going to take a position in Conway. She's only been seeing her daughter like 2 hrs a day with all the driving and everything, and she feels like she needs tuo be there for Makynna, especially since they lost Michael.
I get it, I really do....but it still sucks, and I'm worried about who's gonna take her place.

I just finished filling out Valentine's cards for every person in every branch in Pulaski County.
I don't even know how many people that is, but I'm tired. I also included all the floaters, our chief security officer, and both couriers. I am soooo tired.

Arista Milocathe |

I'll try to respond to stuff tomorrow. There was just too much going on today, and I was on the couch for too long filling out Valentine's Cards, cuz I'm hurting in places I don't usually hurt.

Arista Milocathe |

I did finally pass out, but I kept having strange dreams and waking up, so my sleep kept getting interrupted, so I'm still sleepy, but gotta get ready for work.

And on the other end of the emotional rollercoaster of the week, yesterday was our 13th anniversary.
I'll get back to posting tonight

Arista Milocathe |

I'm so sorry that I forgot to wish you guys a happy anniversary. Is it the 14th or 15th? I thought your anniversary was on Valentine's day? I have it on my calendar for the 14th.
I hope you guys had a really good one either way. I know things have been crazy, and you guys have been dealing with so much lately...but things will eventually get better. They just have to, it's what I tell myself all the time.
I know what I'm trying to say, it's just not coming out very well. Even though it's a little late, I just want to tell you that I hope you have a very happy Anniversary and that you guys had a really good one and Happy Valentine's day.

It's the day after. We'd initially planned to get married on VALENTINE'S DAY, but there was a snowstorm, so we did the next day instead.

Arista Milocathe |

Okay, I will change it on my Calendar then. Maybe next year won't be so crazy and I'll actually remember. My memory has been for crap lately....even when I do have stuff written down.
Whatever the day, I just hope it was a good one and wish you a very happy day anyways. I'm swollen and hurting and have to figure out how to deal with the next couple of weeks like this since I can't take any more anti inflammatory medicine until after the surgery.

Arista Milocathe |

Oh yeah, it's gonna be a rough time without the Meloxicam. You really don't realize how much something is helping till you don't have it for a little while.

It is what it is. I wish people, even well meaning...would keep their opinions to themselves though. I don't need people telling me, "Maybe you'll just adjust to not having the medicine and be okay, and then after your surgery you won't need it anymore." For some reason, to some people this surgery means all my other problems will just magically disappear.
I swear, sometimes I wish I could just shake the stupid out of some people.

Arista Milocathe |

I think that people with NO medical degree, have the right to be telling me anything. It's obvious that they have no basic understanding of how medicine works, or what the point of it is.
I no take medicine, I feel like crap. It's only going to get worse, the longer I go without it. It's not like stuff is going to magically stop swelling.
I just don't understand what the hell is wrong with people.

Arista Milocathe |

*super sad face* Awww...I'm Sorry Bubba.
As much as I hate going to the dentist, mine isn't too bad, and it's important to take care of your teeth.
Don't feel too bad. I've had to have like 2 or 3 of my back molars pulled, I have multiple fillings, and 2 crowns.
*shrugs* I never drank milk as a baby.

Arista Milocathe |

Of course, I know you can't do that....so, just make sure you stay as bundled as possible, are drinking plenty of fluids, and have something really warm wrapped around your neck and keep your chest well covered at all times when outside. :)
Jus' sayin'. Don't "breath it in" anymore than necessary.

Henry is still having some issues. I'm not sure it's what he thinks it is at this point...but there's not much we can do about it with the dr's billing me into oblivion.
Had a lot of stuff to do today, and Henry had to go running through the neighborhood chasing down Dixie because I accidentally distracted him while we were trying to leave and she got out of the house, and the little greyhound in the wrong body that she is...just takes off running and will not come when call her...I don't know if it's because of how the other people that had her treated her, or because she just simply was never trained to come when we call.
She'll come to us if we call her while she's out in the fenced in back yard...but if she gets out where there are no boarders....*shrugs*
There was a lot of inbreeding going on at the place she came from, so no telling what's going on in that little brain of hers.
We were also trying to get things unpacked and organized, and are down to our last 8 boxes or so. Things would go a lot faster if my freaking sister from CA wouldn't call me and keep on the phone for over two hours telling me everything she thinks I should be doing. It took Henry saying, "Hey honey, do you think you could help me with this laundry" for her to get the hint and finally hang up.
My Boobear worked really hard to get some boxes unpacked, and we thought we were gonna have to get another shelf to put stuff on....but I think we might be able to find a place for everything if I get creative about where to put it and if I can maybe throw some more stuff away. I don't know...I'm really tired now, so I'm probably gonna go lay down and pass out.
I zone out sometimes and just lose all sense of time. It's been happening more since I've been so stressed out. I know I have almost no control over what's happening right now....but that just drives me crazy. I mean....it's MY body, I should be able to control what it does and doesn't do...I don't know....no sleep makes hard to think and I just jabbed myself in the face with one of my nails for some reason....
There are just so many things that need to get done, and so much stuff going on that I feel absolutely overwhelmed right now, and so my anxiety is in HIGH gear and I feel like I can't do anything. I just can't deal with so much stuff going on at one time.

Today kind of got taken over by plumbing problems, and well meaning but inept friends.
I appreciate the fact that Jonathan was trying to help us, but when I tell someone, "We've already tried everything, and are going to call a plumber." I don't know why he couldn't just listen to me and leave our stuff alone.
*smh*
That's why we haven't really been on much today.
Now Henry isn't feeling good, probably stress. This was kinda the last thing we needed.

Arista Milocathe |

I'm not sure how I'm gonna be doing after the surgery on Tuesday, so I'll try yo post either tonight or tomorrow if possible.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend. We will get to relax again some day.

Sādhanā |

Sorry guys. Yeah, with plumbing, if you don't already know what to do, or can't find a youtube video that leaves you CONFIDENT you can handle it, call a plumber.
What was the issue?

Arista Milocathe |

When doing dishes in the kitchen sink, the water kept back up into the sink. Like, only so much of it would go down after running the water.
Well, we had decided this morning that after trying everything we could think of or knew how to do, and not seeing any results that after my surgery we would call in a service call to our insurance blah blah...they would take care of it because of our home owners warranty.
Well, when we saw our friends today and were kinda talking about everything going on, we told them we were gonna call a plummer and he was like, "Oh, we can deal with that. No problem, you just have to learn how to do these little things yourself to save some money."
*sigh*
Though well meaning, he came in and proceeded to break one of the pipes while trying to loosen it to get to the pee trap or whatever you call it...so, instead of helping us, we now have to make two service calls instead of one. I don't know why people can't just listen to me when I tell them stuff. I'm not a complete moron.

Arista Milocathe |

He did pay to replace the part he broke, and he called an actual plummer friend of his who came to our house on a Sunday and fixed the pipe temporarily until we can get someone out to unclog the thing which...from what he said is isn't in the sink part but the wall?
I don't know...all I know now is that my sink is now leaking when before it was just stopping up. I know he meant well, and was trying to "help"...but I can't help but feel a little frustrated.
I can say that his friend came to fix what he broke and didn't charge us anything, so there is that at least.
