I hate this. Now all I can think of is that the ITPmight be back. I’m trying to distract myself but I keep going back to it. I’m back in the bad old days of my adolescence where I couldn’t do much because I was weak all the time. I’m going to take a break at work tomorrow and call the doctor before I get home. Here’s hoping they’re taking new patients because this is not something I can go to the doc-in-a-box over.
If every anyone wondered why I don’t live up to my potential, well, welcome to the life of the chronically ill. Stupid immune system. I hate you too.
[QUOTE=swampbear] gotti I have just GOT (HEE!) to know what a BLT Toss Pasta is. I don’t know whether to be intrigued or appalled.
[/QUOTE]
It’s something they make at the “Exhibition” station, which is perhaps a silly name for two guys with a line of induction burners and a pile of mini fry pans who make sauteed things to order. BLT Toss Pasta is pretty much just some penne pasta with shrimp or chicken as the main protein, bacon, diced tomato and spinach instead of lettuce. There’s usually some other veggies like broccoli, onions and mushrooms to add if you like. There’s some sort of sauce to tie it all together - last time I had it, I think it was more or less “ranch” flavor.
That name has always bugged me. Of all the things a ranch might taste like, none of them really appeal to me.
It helps me fall asleep, which can be an issue for me.
Please note if you decide to try it that more vivid dreams are a common side effect, and some users (such as me) experience nightmares at too high a dosage. I can get away with up to about 2mg, 3mg is pretty much a guaranteed nightmare.
:snort: 5 mg is where I start, and that’s good for about 2 hours of sleep. I usually go to bed on 15-20 mg when I take it. If I take it for more than a week at a time, I have a hard time getting to sleep when I quit, so I consider it to be addictive.
I will admit my dreams are more vivid, weird, and memorable when I take the stuff, but not nightmarish. The bad stuff is rare for me.
Just fixed the tray on may printer with wood coffee stirrers and yes, I’m still counting that as a win. I’d managed to drop it several weeks ago. Well, pushed it from its perch really. It’s a small color laser so it’s heavier than the average inkjet and I cringed when that happened but the only casualty turned out to be the tray which I’ve nursed along so far. Today it got to see the field surgeon who was still coherent enough set the broken bones (bent plastic parts) but didn’t know what to do with the damaged ligaments (snap tabs that were loose). He was ready to amputate when I suggested we just put them in a splint call it someone else’s problem.
The dog woke me up to go outside.
Fortunately the Sah-son is still up so all I had to do was send the dog to him to let out but now I can’t get back to sleep anyway.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 71 hyooooomid degrees Amurrkin out with a predicted high of around 92 and possible afternoon/evenin’ thunderstorms. If that’s possible like Monday and yestiddy then we will have ‘em this evenin’. Big storms late afternoonish/early evenish both days. Da yahd looks like I haven’t mowed in two months even though it’s only been not quite a week.
{{{Apes}}} just cause it looks like you need a hug.
{{{Spaz}}} same reason plus I hope you can get in to see the doc and find out what’s goin’ on.
Melatonin is sump’n I take when I feel like I need help fallin’ asleep. I take one tablet about an hour before I want to be asleep and that usually works for me. I don’t like to take it more than a couple of nights in a row cause like BBBobbio if I don’t watch it I’ll have trouble sleepin’ when I don’t take it. And yes, dreams can be right vivid.
gotti I think I am horrified.
Ok, now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy is hongry. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence.
I woke at 4:30 for no apparent reason and despite my best efforts, I couldn’t get back to sleep. Oh well…
Daughter is coming over today - it’s the last time we’ll see her before she leaves for Orlando. I know, she’s 27 and entitled to live her own life, but I still don’t have to like it. My biggest worry is that she’s left a job and she’s *hoping *to get a job when she gets there, but she doesn’t seem to have done a lot to accomplish that. But she’s an adult and she can own her own decisions. At least she’s got a place to live - she’s moving in with a friend, so she won’t be living in her car. Still,
Tomorrow, **FCD **leaves for a Harley event in Roanoke, and he won’t be back till Sat. He’d *better *be back on Sat - I’m supposed to go to Baltimore on Sunday and Monday and I didn’t want to take the dog with me.
My main chores for today involve some water seal on the last few pieces of cedar **FCD **installed yesterday, plus some laundry, since most of our grubbies are dirty. I’ll probably run the vacuum, too, just for giggles. Yep, it’ll be a thriller at FairyChatEstates.
I’ve never seen that movie so I don’t know. I’m calling the doctor today to set up an appointment.
I also need to get my resume in order. I hate doing that. I’m about to throw it out in the wild because I’m bored at my current job. I want to do something else now. However, it’s going to have to be something with health insurance since I’m being reminded why I can’t go without that particular benefit.
FCM, what you’re daughter’s doing is pretty much what I did to come to the mountains. Sometimes you just have to throw caution to the winds and take the bold step.
**Spaz **- don’t be all logical and sensible with me! Honestly, I’m sure what bothers me the most is that she’s taking her high-school-drop-out-no-discernable-skills boyfriend with her. If this move had been solo, I’d have felt better. But again, it’s not my life.
