Today is our trash day - **FCD **is taking the garbage and recycling to the convenience center. We’d have gone yesterday, but they were closed, so we couldn’t. Such is life.
And it looks like lunch time to me - yay! The day is moving along.
I have been productive! I edged and trimmed around the cee-mint pond, fence, driveway and walkway. Tomorrow I shall accomplish mowage. Oh and I did go back to bed for about an hour. Now Eyetalian chikin is doin’ it’s thing in the slow cooker. I’m thinkin’ frozen peas 'n carrots which I shall thoughtfully cook and au gratin N.O.T. from a box (don’t judge!) to accompany. There’s almost a half a loaf of French bread that needs to be used so I shall toast that up as well.
MOOOOOOM whenever I dream about the house I grew up in, I’m always on the front porch. I don’t recall any dreams when I was inside the house. I mentioned this once to my oldest brother and he told me his dreams of the house were the same, always on the front porch but never in the house. So we’re either the family GMTA or the family psychos. 
The medicine I am trying is Horizant, which when I read up on it is primarily for relieving Restless Legs Syndrome, but also “pain from damaged nerves (postherpetic pain) that follows healing from shingles…”
I have had shingles, but he suggested it when I noted my foot was experiencing a burning feeling. There is a lot of nerve damage down there from an operation to rebuild broken bones in my heel.
It amused me about the Restless Legs Syndrome when I read it since I’ve always had bouncy legs (and never thought it was an issue). It took about a week for the medicine to build up and I must say it seems effective (though my leg still bounces a bit).
What is really amazing is from the day I started my need for Percocet dropped to almost nil. I had been taking an average of 1.5 Percocets per day, now I’m using about 10% of that for breakout pain when needed.
Considering I had carefully worked down from 3+ Percocets per day in the last year, the idea I could get away from them completely was quite wonderful. I worked hard to reduce use. Unfortunately I had hit a wall where the pain was/is real, and less medicine hurt. Other meds didn’t help, the calcaneus (heel) bone is a very painful bone to break. I have often compared it to walking on a toothache.
So I am a fan so far, though the jury is still out. The first week it made me loopy as hell taking it but that has dissipated. It’s expensive but I understand there is a generic. Certainly worth a try.
Good luck!
I’m judging. :dubious: I’m persnickety about my N.O.T. 
I guess last night was the night for weird dreams. I had a doozy and finally woke up with my heart pounding. It was something about shopping at IKEA (which wasn’t actually IKEA), spending $1600 (:eek:) on random things, waiting hours for them to bring me what I ordered, and then trying for what seemed like hours to get the items across the parking lot to the car. Mixed in with all of this was something about my daughter needing me to be somewhere else RIGHT NOW. Oh and IKEA drugged me. I bought a pillow and they said it couldn’t leave the store unless I took some sleeping medication. I think maybe there was even a monster in the parking garage to up the tension even more. It was a completely bizarre dream. So of course, I get up and have a cup of coffee, because that’s going to calm me down. :roll eyes:
I do have dreams like Mooomm’s where I’m someplace familiar, but it’s changed. There’s an extra door leading to rooms I’ve never seen before or something like that.
I really, really don’t wanna but I got stuff to do. Go me.
Very busy weekend followed by a very busy morning. This weekend I made a patio, had a tea party, went to a housewarming party, spent a night playing board games, helped somebody move, and shopped a whole bunch. I think that’s it.
This morning, I just seem to have lost several hours somewhere and am not eager to locate them, as it’s already one in the afternoon.
Hopefully, I will go back and read the first page and a half sometime today. Until then, assume all appropriate responses have been given.
Also, it just occurred to me that it’s Tuesday, which is why there are so many posts already. If anybody’s seen my marbles, please let me know.
Mom, I have regular dreams about two homes I grew up in. Our home in Baltimore usually involves a bad roof for some reason (roof was just fine the whole time I lived there). The other was about a vacation home on the Eastern Shore near Cambridge. Dreams of that place often involve an unnatural amount of debris in the cove in front, and the sinking feeling that I’m not allowed there because the new owners are arriving soon and we don’t own it anymore.
My dad had sold the place after his retirement around my senior year of high school. Interestingly my older sister reports almost the exact same dreams about that place to this day, over 30 years later.
At no time are the settings accurate. They are always warped (for the worse).
So regarding dream locations, we’re either all normal or… nah, not possible…
Waiting for boss to come back from lunch so I can discuss what I’ve been doing and what I can’t do - like take up all the floorboards in the helo. Meanwhile, lalalalalalala
It’s back-to-irk Tuesday and I wish I had more irk. 
It’s either feast or famine around here.
Greater attendance by players(and fans) today. 
I stopped at Trader Joe’s to pick up some veggies for tonight’s dinner, and bought a sixpack of beer, just because there’s something sinfull about buy beer before work. 
I dreamed I was trapped in a New York-like city during a zombie apocalypse. does that count?
Sunny, IKEA sleeping pill? “You bought a Sleepsäk pillow system, you must try our new Snööz sleep aid!”
Happy Toosday!
Just woke up a bit ago, I have so much to do and should not be sleeping the day away.
It’s sunny and hot outside, the heat is back.
I seldom dream of the house I grew up in, I usually dream about the house I lived in in the city. I loved that house, and I’d still be there if it wasn’t for the drug dealers coming in and taking over the neighborhood.
Time to get busy, I hate sleeping the day away.
Home at last. Summer has returned, dammit! The house is closed and the a/c is on. Me no like!!
We’re having breakfast for supper. And watermelon after. That pretty much sums it all up.
Dindin got ingested. Now I have some Ben & Jerry’s chawklit fudge brownie ice cream. Life is good.
My truck goes in the shop on Firday, that was the earliest day I could get an appointment. I have to make sure to pick up my prescriptions before then. They have a valet service that will pick my truck up and deliver it back to me, I think I should call tomorrow to arrange for it.
I’m supposed to go to a party on Saturday, this could screw up those plans. If I can’t make the party I’ll just make plans to meet up with my friend another day.
I feel low energy today.
Yes, 90 degrees American here after a cooler beginning of September.
It will be cold enough soon. At least Mrs. Plant (v.1.0) isn’t renting my trailer and freezing water pumps.
Just got back from Boy Child’s IEP meeting. He’s going to start in the district’s autism classroom and gradually work in time in regular classrooms. This means he’ll be at another school, not the neighborhood school, but I think it’s much better than just throwing him into middle school without any help.
Now I must decide what to do for dinner…
Damn pumpkins, damn them to heck!
Good for pie and Jack O’Lanterns, and nothing else.
Tahred. All damn day to get to MCO FROM EYW. We were about an hour late arriving. Ready to go home now. Lost my Driving License in route. Already filed Lost and Found reports with three airports, the airline and the Disney bus. Sucks but I just can’t let it worry me to death. I have a military ID so I still have a photo ID. A little aggravated.
Going to try for some sleep. More adventures manana.
Butters, been there, sat at the airport. Hopefully the license will turn up.
flytrap, what have you got against pumpkins? Do you not enjoy the Pumkin Chuckin contests? Punkin Chunkin - YouTube
Sunny, hope things go well for the lad.
Back from coaching soccer, the kids look like they are finally beginning to get it, the passing and ball movement and position play is coming around. Our next game is Saturday, and I just hope we do well.
Think I’m going to Best Buy tomorrow and buy a new washing machine, they have a sale on and free installation (you have to buy about $30 worth of ‘connecting hoses’ and such to get the free install). I’ve also got a list of 4 roofers with good BBB credentials that I plan to contact to get quotes for a new roof. Just pumping up the economy.
Tired and in need of a solid eight hours sleep. Probably will wake up at 5am…
I shall soon join OYKW in the boudoir. He’s snoozin’ away as I post. At least he’s not suckin’ the paint off the wall like he’s been known to do. Yahd irk on the agenda for tomorrow. One can retire from irk but one cannot retire from one’s home and yahd alas.
It broke 90 degrees Amurikin <sic?> here. Work was hot because Seattle doesn’t believe its running that hot. Silly them. We’re still getting extra volume and no one knows just why but the 30 hour limit has been raised to 50 again this week. I’ll skirt 35040 but that’s about all I got in me right now. The arm still has a golf ball in the bicep so I guess I got reason to slack a little.
