I am happy for you. your husband is beginning to sound a little tame.!

[OhKay]

Oh, he is not tame... he cracked his first beer at noon on Sunday and drank for 9 hours straight, so I had to deal with that. He has a 3 day weekend ahead of him, and I'm sure I'll have to deal with more of it.

It didn't rain yesterday like as forecasted. It wasn't sunny, but it the weather was a lot more pleasant than I expected, and I got my errands done.
Surprise! We got a couple more inches of snow last night, and it's still snowing
I hate the Weather Channel app! It's been totally unreliable.

I got my disability update report in the mail a couple of days ago. It's a periodic review to check whether or not I still qualify to receive SSA benefits. Sometimes it triggers a full review of a person's medical records. I have been stressing over what I should write in the "additional information" section. But I reread the instructions this morning, and found out that they are not looking for the information I thought they were. The form will be easy to complete now, and I can mail it tomorrow, so I am relieved. I really hope I don't have to go through a full review.

I am almost done my 2 loads of laundry even though somebody beat me to it this morning. I still have a ton left to do... maybe I will suck it up and try to get more done tomorrow morning?

I forgot to buy bread at the store yesterday, and my husband ran out of cigarettes, so it looks like I may have to go out again today. I ran a lot of errands yesterday and am very tired this morning, so don't like the idea of going out 2 days in a row one bit.

Kay, you have a difficult life. I admire your strength.
I am very glad the form ended up being a simple one for you and yes I hope
they don't require a full audit.
Please be safe if you have to venture out today.
sending warmth and protection

Thank you ladies
My life has always been hard, so I suppose I'm conditioned to handle all kinds of bull****. That's all it is.

Maintenance came yesterday to treat the water damage on our kitchen ceiling. I guess the dishwasher in the apartment above us was leaking. I'm glad he suggested I lock the cats up in a bedroom because the fumes were HORRIBLE because he wasn't using regular paint. Later I found items in the kitchen nowhere near the ceiling had paint film on them. It's very greasy and was difficult to clean. I'm sure I will continue to find more effected items.

His visit interrupted a conversation with a good friend. I got anxious because I had to find and corral all three cats before he could work on the ceiling, but mainly I ended the conversation because I don't like to talk about anything in front of strangers, and I didn't know how long he would be in the apartment. I think I could have handled things better, and I'm afraid I hurt her feelings and she took things personally. I feel awful

There were only very light snow showers before I (reluctantly) went out yesterday, but it was very cold and windy. I just made two quick stops for cigarettes and bread.

I got to the laundry room first this morning and just put two loads in so I won't be so behind. There's a lot of cleaning that needs to be done around here, but I doubt I'll be doing much/any of that because I'm feeling really run down.

Oh, dear! Ceiling is painted but with such a cost.

I am glad you got the cats safely out of the way.

How annoying to have to clean up after the painting.

Good luck with the laundry.

I should have been checking everything in the kitchen for paint residue yesterday because that is what a normal person would do, but I ended up taking a long early nap after I finished the laundry and never even got in the shower.

My husband got up at 2am yesterday so that he could be at a job site by 5am, but when he got there, nobody was there and the equipment he needed hadn't arrived (he was ******). So, he came back home and called it a day. I can't believe it, but he never took a nap and he stayed up until 11pm even though he was drinking. We're supposed to go out to lunch and look at TVs today, but the chances of that happening today look slim. He just woke up and he's out of it.

I sent my friend an email and heard back from her, and I think she understands that my haste to end our conversation wasn't personal at all. I still feel badly though because I know how sensitive she is, and I really do think I could have handled things better. But as long as she is okay now I do feel better.

My surgery is 2 weeks away. A few days ago I got a message from the hospital telling me I needed to schedule a pre-screening appointment (for blood work, etc) prior to surgery. I've called them back several times, but they never answer. I've left 2 messages, but they haven't returned my calls. I don't know when I need to have the screening done by, but I feel like I've fallen through the cracks. I have my pre-op appointment with my GYN on Wednesday and I guess I can ask about it then.

I'm a little worried about the EKG if they do one. I have a slight abnormality in my heart rhythm now, but my PCP looked into it, and told me it's nothing to worry about. I'm a little worried they will make me see a cardiologist prior to surgery since I haven't seen one, and now we're down to the wire. I could be worrying for nothing though. I hope so.

[bizi]

I am sorry kay,
just more stuff to worry about.

I've had surgeries before... I had a septoplasty when I was 17, a fusion to a disc in my neck in 2008, and had my gallbladder out in 2009, but I don't remember how long before the surgeries I had to have the testing done. I didn't have the heart problem until the OD in 2014, so it wasn't an issue for the prior surgeries. I would like to get the pre-screening done ASAP so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

My husband DID take me out to lunch on Saturday!
I had a HUGE piece of lovely chocolate cake with fudge layers and two scoops of vanilla ice cream for dessert. I haven't had anything remotely like that in what seems like forever, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Diet rules don't apply when your husband finally takes you out somewhere, right? I still haven't weighed myself since because I'm afraid to

We went to buy a TV, and the first salesman we talked to was a young fast talking condescending ***hole. We told him what we wanted to spend and he showed us something more than three times that amount. When we told him that was too much, he showed us something twice as much. When it became apparent that he wouldn't show us anything cheaper, I asked why they carried all the other TVs and why other people bought them, he actually said, "ignorance is bliss." At that point, I leaned in to look at his name tag and said, "BRIAN, I think we're just going to look around on OUR OWN." After finding another salesman and letting him know from the outset what we were looking for, we were at the register paying for our TV 15 minutes later.

On the way home, my husband had a hard time navigating the (pretty dangerous) parking lot, lost his ****, and drove home like a ****ing psycho. Then he lost his temper a million times trying to set the TV up when we got home. I was getting pretty ticked off because I felt like he was being ungrateful. It wasn't until a couple of hours (and several beers) later that he finally sat back, relaxed, and started to really appreciate the TV. Now he's very happy with it because it IS pretty awesome and he had been bothered for a long time because we never have anything nice or new because we're always struggling financially. I pretty much knew that already, and that's why I was okay with the TV purchase.

Our Federal tax refund is due to be direct deposited on Thursday. It isn't that big, but it's big enough to cover the cost of the TV with a little bit left over. Our state refund isn't much to write home about.
