A Reversal of Roles

For the first time, I am no longer caring for some one except me. I don't quite know how to be the center of my attention without arranging something good for me around a work schedule of caring for some one else. See Fibromyalgia Sign in to see full entry.

There's an oil for that

Please see Living with Fibromyalia for story on Young Living essential oils and pain relief. I had to have my cat Jubal put to sleep last week. He had anti-freeze poisoning. He started out with cold symptoms but then his nose and gums started bleeding as the tissue died. I took him to the vet and got the diagnosis. There was nothing tha tcould be done so I had him put to sleep. He was mostly and outside cat so these things happen. He and Peaches were close and played good together. I miss him...

The Adventures of Eating Out

So, Rick, Snaz and I decided to try the new menu at Applebee's the other night. Just as we finished our appetizers, I looked up and noticed the couple in the far booth. She was trying to get him to respond. I saw his ears getting grayer and bluer and decided this is not a good sign. As I walked to the booth, the lady is holding his head up. He initially responded to questions by shaking his head and then he quit breathing and I couldn't feel a pu lse. I did a vigorous sternal rub and yelled at... Sign in to see full entry.

Spawn of the Devil

We have a new addition. Brooke called and asked if we wanted to a kitten, Since we have rats in the shed and Rick found two snakes in the yard, we decided to take him. He was 10 weeks old when we got him. His name is Jubal. I have never had a cat like him. He has climbed to the top of all the curtains and pulls down a rod of curtins at least once a week. He thinks biting is a form of "I like you" and also "I will hurt you." The intensity of the bite reflects which one he is communicating,... Sign in to see full entry.

A Long Seven Months

Blake was out of work for 7 months learning how to cope with panic attacks. I had to get him to change his doctor to the group the rest of the family goes to including my ex. Although Brooke and I see Dr. H, blake and my ex see Dr. B. I went with Blake to see Dr. B the first several visits due to Blake's amxiety. Blake was like: " I can't believe a 36 year old man has to have his Mom go to the Dr. with him." He needed me to make sure Dr. B understood the intensity of what he had been through and...

Cold Cold Snowy Weekend and Football

It is cold and snowy here. At least Rick had to only clear off steps instead of thirty. Peaches got out and we almost didn't get her in. She had a ball running in the snow and chasing birds and sniffing what was under the snow. So after play time came football time for Peaches and Rick. she is only a little spoiled. Staying warm by the fire Picasso stayed with me and Rick the Week after Christmas for a couple of days. Grannie made sure he didn't get his clothes dirty. LOL Big smile for daddy...

An Eventful Two Weeks

Monday, almost 2 weeks ago, I left my Dr. office after having some trigger point injections in my shoulder. I walked out the door feeling fine. Five minutes later I'm thinking I will never eat onions on a cheeseburger again thinking back to lunch 4 hours earlier. I get to pharmacy to get med refills twenty minutes later and I am never eating a cheeseburger again. Five minutes later I am home and lying in bed and praying not to throw up. I usually don't stop until my toe nails come up. An hour... Sign in to see full entry.

Thirty Seven Years

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the day after Thanksgiving. I had begged my husband not to leave me alone but he wanted to go to a football game with his buddies. I had just gotten out of the hospital with pre-eclampsia and the news that our child was severly growth retarded. He left me on the pull out couch with a fire in the fireplace for warmth. He had turned the heat down to 60 degrees to save money. I had to get up and put logs on the fire to keep it going. I felt the baby... Sign in to see full entry.

Progress

Well, the roof is nearly on my old house and the lease to own owners are paying for half. Rick has gotten estimates for roof and guttering and sofit for our house. We will soon have a new roof here. I have finished painting the living room and we have re-arranged the living room. It is stucco walls and ceiling so it was not an easy job. I got the computer room painted with all 7 windows and woodwork which was not an easy task either. Rick is working in 90 degree weather in the plant and with the... Sign in to see full entry.

Unbeliveable

Okay. the roofer when Richard had a new roof put on did a lousy job. Even though the new owner( with me financing for 18 months), clearly states they are buying house as is. They are responsible for all expenses from now on. The roof wasn'ttheir fault and is a large expense so we are halving the price with me getting the loan and they he;p me pay half. However, when the septic tank backs up and they have sewage coming up from downstairs shower running out into the downstairs hallway, they get... Sign in to see full entry.
