You needed to rest your bones.
Glad that you chatted with the staff.
Please be careful and not over do it while cleaning.

Of course I did do too much cleaning yesterday. I paid/am paying for it, but I do feel much better about how the place looks. Having things neater and cleaner helps my anxiety. There are some things I would like to do today, but I don't know if I will be able to do them.

We ordered out last night because I was exhausted. I ate half of a veggie calzone, and the taste of bread was oh so good
I will not be weighing myself for a couple of days.

I bought a $150 down jacket for $42 from ****'s Sporting Goods online. It came yesterday. It's good looking, but only weighs about a pound. It was about 20 degrees when it came, so I wore it outside to see how warm it was, and it was very warm! I bought a large and thought it was too big, and wanted to exchange it for a medium, but Corey convinced me it fit well. But this morning, I can tell it's clearly too big for me. I took off the tags, threw the bag out, and wore it out smoking, so its too late to exchange it now. I'm very disappointed I listened to him. I'm going to be self-conscious wearing it now.

I haven't gone to the BR in at least a week and a half. I didn't want to go out to buy mag. citrate yesterday, so I took 4 bisacodyl tablets this morning. I have no way of knowing how long it will take for them to work... if they work.

Today is lottery day, but I should go out and take care of that early so I don't end up having to go to the BR when I'm out.

I am glad that you are happy with your cleaning, and that it helps with your anxiety having things neat and in order.
Have a good day kay!

Thank you Bizi (((HUGS)))

I'm not in the habit of doing this, and I feel like a scum bag, but...
I found the tag and packaging for that jacket in the trash, and they were squeaky clean! The tag was attached to the zipper with string, so I was able to tie it back on. I sprayed the jacket with Febreeze fabric refresher so it no longer smelled like smoke, and let it dry so it didn't smell strongly of Febreeze either, and I packed it up to send back. Hopefully I will get a full refund (minus shipping). But even if I don't, I really don't care. I bought it with a gift card, the jacket was too big, so I know I wasn't going to wear it out. There was no exchange option, so I ordered the jacket in a medium and it should be here on Saturday. It better fit, but it should since I had plenty of room in the large. Corey thinks I'm nuts.

The Dulcolax/bisacodyl tablets I took caused stomach pain and made me nauseous, but they didn't work at all. I will have to take mag. citrate next week... probably Tuesday because I have an appointment with my pdoc Monday.

Last night Corey admitted he had run out of excuses, and it was time for me to finally get my bed frame
I already know which one I want. I could order it online and have the furniture store deliver it, but I really want to get him to the furniture store to get him to look at mattresses. Last night he was talking about upgrading to a king if we got a new mattress, but I think that was just drunk talk. We don't have room for a king size bed. I would be very happy if we did get a whole new bed, but I'll have to see what he's open to once he's sober.

He didn't wake up to his alarms this morning, probably because he got totally s-faced last night. He's lucky I woke up at 6am and knew it was Friday, but he's usually out of the house a lot earlier than that, so he threw a fit. I hope the rest of his day goes better.

I have to go to the grocery store and the butcher shop today. I'm not exactly excited about it, but I shouldn't complain since I've had a pretty easy week for once.

I am really glad that you have had an easy week.
Hope you enjoy your weekend!

It was freezing out yesterday! It was 25 degrees out, but the wind was so fierce it was blowing my parked car around. Not a fun day to go grocery shopping, but I got it done. I skipped my trip to the butcher shop tho.

At the store, I ran into a former neighbor (of 4yrs) from where Corey and I had our first apartment together. He and his wife were such nice people. If he hadn't recognized me, I never would have recognized him. The last 10 years have not been kind to him and he looks nothing like he did in the past. I was so sorry to hear that his wife passed away last year from cancer- shortly after they were finally able to buy the house of their dreams. He is struggling mightily with hip problems. It was good to see him again, but it was also very sad.

Speaking of neighbors, I'm praying the people in the apartment above us aren't planning on having a Super Bowl party. Their parties (usually 3 times a week) were getting rowdier and rowdier until I went upstairs a couple of weeks ago to express my displeasure. Since then things have been a lot better, but they are big Pats fans and party animals, so...

Corey promised me he would take me to the furniture store today. Let's see how he tries to weasel his way out of it. I'm going to do the best I can to hold him to his promise. We talked about the king-sized bed, and he admitted it wouldn't fit. I hope I can talk him into a new mattress. Ours is about 10 years old and uncomfortable for me now. I can feel the coils when I lay on my stomach.

[bizi]

did you go to the furniture store?

[OhKay]

We did go to the furniture store!!!
Corey didn't fight me at all about the mattress. We easily agreed on one with a eurotop. We bought that with the matching boxspring, and the bed frame I wanted. They will be delivering everything on Thursday
Unfortunately, the sheets I have will not fit, so I will have to buy at least one set (to start). I can buy them much more reasonably priced on Amazon, and since I'm a Prime member, they will get here before the mattress.

The size medium jacket arrived yesterday. It fits perfectly and looks really good on. I love it! I'm so glad I didn't settle for the large, no matter how that return works out.

All of our documents have arrived, so I can get started on our taxes today. Even though I have to use software to file our returns, I still have to take my time and review everything repeatedly for errors, so it's a big project for me.

I'm really looking forward to the Super Bowl tonight! Hopefully my afternoon nap is enough to help keep me awake until the end of the game.

[bizi]

Yes!!!!!!!
What kind of sheets did you have to order. Ours do not fit our new bed at all.
WE need new sheets desperately!
I guess we need "large deep corners for a california king"
Just need to look on amazon I guess.
Just need to do this!
bizi who is happy for you

I actually asked the mattress salesman which sheets to buy, and he said they should have at least a 15" pocket. So, I bought a set of navy blue 400 thread count sheets with a 16" pocket from Amazon for $40. I already have a set of navy blue sheets (that would NEVER fit this mattress), so I didn't have to worry about buying extra pillow cases.
I'll need to buy a bed skirt to help deter the cats from scratching the box spring, but I'll have to wait until the bed is put together so I can see how long I want/need it.


Here is a link to "Deep California King Sheets" on Amazon:

Corey didn't wake up to his alarm again. I woke him up when I got up at 6. He had a lot to drink, but I didn't think he was really that s- faced, but sometimes it's hard to tell. IDK, There is an outside chance it is his phone because this problem started right after an update. He ended up calling out sick this time. This is not like him. He's never late, and never calls out sick. I try not to nag him cuz he's going do to what he wants to do, but I think we need to talk about how much he's drinking because it's starting to effect his work.

I haven't gone to the BR in about 2 weeks. I'm uncomfortable and don't feel very well, so I'm not eating as much or often as I should because of it. I have to do something about it NOW, so I'm going to take 2 bottles of mag. citrate today. I'm going to have to cancel my pdoc appointment for this afternoon, but I'm stable, and right now I really need to address the BR problem.
