I haven't written much since my return from Florida, and now it's time to return there for more back adjustments. While I love my relatives in Florida dearly, and I know they love me, there are a few things that they do that drive me crazy! I think they enjoy watching me react to them too. They always seem to be ready with some wise crack for me. Grrrrr...
First: They love to let the sunshine into the house! I have to wear sunglasses inside the house! Sunshine is fine, but it should remain outside! And they love windows! Big windows everywhere! In fact, at one house the whole wall is WINDOWS, and GLASS DOORS! Why not just live outdoors!
Second: If the temperature gets below 80 degrees; they're freezing! You've got to be kidding! If the temperature gets above 75 degrees; I'm burning up! I have to make frequent stops at the freezer and stick my head in to cool off! They think it's funny! I think they're nuts!
Third: They love to watch baseball! I HATE BASEBALL!!! And there are baseball games EVERY NIGHT! I'll remember to take a stack of books so I'll have something to read while they watch some guy hit a ball with a stick!
Fourth: They love wearing bright color clothes! This is another reason to always have sunglasses on! I like wearing black! They always try to get me out of my black clothes, and I'm not going for it! If they want to go around looking like parrots... that's okay, not me!
Five: They go to bed before the chickens! They are all snoring by 9:00 P.M. They sleep all night, and stay awake all day! I'm the opposite. I love to sleep all day and stay up all night! But they're nice to me, and let me sleep until lunch time. Then they drag me out of bed into a sun filled room! OUCH! That hurts!
Six: They fight over me! Oh please! They all want me to stay at THEIR house! Why??? I don't know! But I'm trying to find a way to divide up the week where I stay at each place an equal amout of time! Jeezzzz!
Seven: I'm NOT going to church! I don't care how many of their friend want to meet me. Why would they, anyway? NO, NO, NO! Besides, I want to spend time enjoying the sea! I don't need a church to talk to the Creator. I can do that by the sea, and the sea doesn't care what I wear!
Besides those things, I should have a good time in Florida, (oh... the bugs in Florida really bug me too). I will be there for about a month. My back really didn't like me doing workouts, and it's gotten a bit weaker, and needs more attention. It will always need attention! I'm lucky to have a relative that is a great chiropractor, and takes very good care of my back. He always knows exactly where the weakest spots are by a touch. After I get back, it will be time to start getting ready to go meet with "22"! Now, I'm really excited about that!
WINDOWS, WINDOWS, EVERYWHERE WINDOWS!!!
I'M NOT GOING TO CHURCH! AND I LOVE WEARING BLACK!
... I do other things that interest me. I'm an avid reader! I can't remember a time when I didn't know how to read. I'm not sure how that happened, but reading was a 'natural' ability for me. I read all genres; however, historical novels are my favorites. Books have always been my companions; I'm never without a book.
I also have an insatiable curiosity! I love the sciences. I'm especially fascinated with archaeology! I will study everyting I can get my hands on subject. The ancient civilizations of the Americas are of such interest since there is still so much more to learn about them. I could spend months in the Natural History Museum in NYC! Maybe, I'll get to do that sometime!
I love jigsaw puzzles! I like to get the ones with at least 1000 pieces! I love to play music and work on one for hours at a time!
I took some Fashion Design courses, and love to make patterns and sew them up or just combine ready made patterns and make something new out of them! Yes, I love the Goth look. It's says that I'm different from everyone! I'm not one of the masses, but then I've always loved that macabre, vampire look! I've worn the look since the '80s when it first began to appear. I don't think it can be called a "fad" anymore! It suits me well!
I love to read blogs and see what is going on with other people around. Sometimes, I leave comments, but, as you know, I love to read, and so I do even if I don't leave a comment.
My previous blog seems to have upset a few people. I write about what is going on with me. I never claimed to be an angel. I have my faults as everyone else does. "22" is very important to me, and I am certainly looking forward to our time together. We've waited long enough. Oh... I know I am the wicked Lilith to many of you, but I rather liked Lilith, anyway.
I'm marking the days off. It won't be long, and I will finally meet with "22"! He is the one who can fulfill my fantasies, and I will do the same for him. We've set a time aside to used for our pleasures only. The world outside will not exist. It will be our own private playland! This is the most exciting, exotic getaway! Thank you Boomers for bringing me to him! He will make all my secret dreams into reality! He is my owner, my teacher, my guardian, my disciplinarian, my angel, my lover! I am his property! I love him, and I love all that he is to me! I belong to Old 22.
Hello Friends, I've been doing well with my diabetic diet, and have already dropped several pounds. I think the weight lost is going to start slowing down now. I also need to start doing some serious work outs, but before I can do that I have to get my back adjusted. I'll be going to Panama City, Florida for that. I don't normally enjoy going to Florida. It's so humid, and there are as many biting bugs there as there are in New Orleans! However, I do love Mexico Beach or Panama City Beach. I could spend the rest of my life there! This is the perfect time of year to be there too. These are such beautiful places for me to start taking long walks at. Very long walks! I'll be spending most of the time with family, and I can catch up on all the family gossip! I'm gonna have to be strong in all the dinner dates they are planning for me. It's going to be so hard to say "no" to many delicious dishes!!! I'll just eat a salad with lemon juice. Yuck! But I won't let that depress me. I'll think of walking on the beach again the next day. I would rather have that than the fattening foods anyday! What at first seemed to be a drag of a trip is now turning into a beautiful getaway! It's Winter, and the beaches are free of crowds, and peaceful. There is no better medicine for my soul! JUST ME, THE WIND, AND THE SEA!!!!
I have known that I was prone to diabetes all my life. My mother kept reminding us that we carried the blood disease. Her father, my grandfather, was a diabetic.
It has never bothered up to about 2 years ago, my blood lab tests were beginning to show I was getting to the point of having to be on medication. I didn't worry too much about it since it had never bothered me and after hearing about it all my life, and nothing ever happening it sounded much like the stories of how the world coming to an end!
To make a long story short, about a year I was put on Actos and told to check my blood sugar levels at least once a day. I took the Actos, and check... everything was fine.
I stopped taking the Actos and stopped checking. Nothing dramatic happened. Nothing that I noticed anyway.
My nurse called this week and informed that my last lab work had comed in and that my diabetes was way out of control! She ranned some numbers by me, and I made appointment to go in after the first of year.
Well, I've had this pain on my left side that I thought was caused by my back, and I needed to get adjusted. My left pinkie and left ring fingers started to have a tingling, numb feeling. Probably a pinched nerved which is also causing my side to hurt. I was also having a very hard time waking up, once I had gone to sleep, but I'm lazy anyway. So what?
Three days ago, I noticed this that right under my nail on my ring finger the epidermis or that thin layer of skin had 'opened' or something. Nothing serious.
This morning I noticed that the small area was hurting, and red.****RED ALERT!!!**** Something is going on here! I remembered Vicki's call. I did some research on symptoms. Man, am I in trouble! I checked my blood sugar lever: 276. Not good! Called in for Actos. Checked it an hour later: 141. Had some tuna salad on toast w/h cheese melted on top and Ranch Syle beans, checked it: 171. My pinkie is still numb and tingles, but ring finger feels normal. The pain in my side is subsiding... some.
. I HATE THIS! I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN ADJUST TO ALL THE CHANGES I'M GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE! Life is a bitch!
Hey everyone! Yeah, well, I guess I've put it off long enough! I just HAVE TO GET THIS MOUNTAIN OF LAUNDRY DONE! I'm gonna have to use one (or more) of those mega ton washers! Grrrrrr..... I hate to waste most of the day washing clothes!
It seems that we should be rid of that problem by now. It's the 21st century! Why can't we have disposable clothes or at least disposable underwear? Babies do!
Oh well, I'll take a book with me. Maybe one of those "dirty" books will make the time more interesting. I'll just disguise the cover with 'something' so I don't get "those looks" from the other women there. Why do we do that? It seems that we should all know about sex by that time, and yet most act like it's something so nasty, dirty, and ugly? What are so many people so ashamed about? That's something else that should change this century; I mean get real! WE ALL DO IT, AND LIKE IT! Don't we????
Anyway, I guess I'll go gather up the stinky mess and piled it in the car! OH... AND THE DISPOSAL UNDERWEAR WAS MY IDEA... DON'T GO STEALING IT! I'll make myself some money yet.
THE CAR WON'T START.... WOO HOO.... I GOT OUT OF IT TODAY! NO LAUNDRY TO DO!
Oh it feels much better to able to breathe, and my nose is not hurting anymore. No more red ring around the nostrils, and the swelling has gone down. I still have a bit of a fever, but it's not bad. I slept over 14 hours, I think. I was reading here in Boomers, and went to bed sometime yesterday morning, and got up around 5:00 this morning. Wow... was I hungry! So, I did what most people do: I fixed me some breakfast, and COFFEE, and watched the news. They gave the account of all the over night break ins, shootings, the war, the riots in Paris, and then they go on to tell me about how to take of my health as I enjoy my coffee, and cigarettes. LOL I have a mountain of laundry to do, but I don't feel like doing it. I should pay some bills, but that always depresses me. Mr. Wonderful is gone to Las Vegas for convention, and I'm loving the time alone. I think I'll waste the day away watching those stupid court shows while I crochet. Or maybe I'll put my NCIS DVDs and watch Abby and Gibbs all day, and then again tonight! That show always makes me smile. IT'S FEELS GOOD TO FEEL GOOD AGAIN! I hope everyone is now feeling better today too. Now, about those aliens....
Thanksgiving turned out to be wonderful! Everyone was in a good mood, and we had fun teasing each other about whatever we could think of. It seems we have not had a time like this in so long. There is nothing better than to forgive each other about whatever and get rid of those ugly feelings, and just enjoy each other's company. My sisters, and niece had a great day, and I finally met Anise's new boyfriend. He's way too nice for her! I told him, Anise was too mean for him. LOL
I got home in time to watch Dallas play against the Jets, and started feeling light-headed again. During the game they showed the snow flakes coming down on the players! I could hardly believe we were getting some snow! It didn't stick, of course, but SNOW! Once, there was no question that Dallas was going to win the game, I decided to lay down for awhile. When I awoke... I realize that the flu had taken this time to attached itself to me. This time it really got it's claws in me! I have been fighting it for a couple of weeks and have managed to keep away, but this time it really got me.
I've got to get my husband ready to go to Las Vegas this week no matter how I feel. I'm also hope that Kyle will get the upgrades I need for my computer this week so that I can enjoy my "other reality" as I call it. I never thought that it would take so much upgrading, and as if that wasn't enough... I have so much to learn in order to exist there. But it's fun, and it keeps my mind occupied. And there are these little fellas to deal with too!
