You are right, Donna... it really isn't that long to wait. I was overreacting yesterday because I just feel SO S-TTY. Waiting may actually not be a bad thing since I have so much going on in the upcoming week.

I have that terrible test in Boston on Tuesday, and it involves an MRI, so I wouldn't be able to wear the halter because metal is a no-no.

Wednesday I have my Tysabri (MS med) infusion.
And I'm scheduled to have a pool PT session on Friday. I'll still have the halter monitor on then because the order is for 48 vs. 24 hours, so I'll have to cancel the appointment for this week.


Thank God I woke up feeling better this morning than I did the 2 before, which were scary. I haven't showered, cleaned the cat boxes, or brushed my teeth yet tho. That's when the real "magic" usually happens.

I'm trying hard not to overmedicate myself, but I did it again yesterday. I think I've been trying too hard to make sure my anxiety isn't causing my symptoms, that's why I've been overdoing it.

I have to go to the dispensary today to buy more medical MJ. I have only taken my 1mg dose of Klonopin and don't intend to take more before I go. I don't know if I should take 1/4mg more when I get home since I have been taking that lately.

Mari, I always make my own sauce. I start with Cento all-purpose crushed tomatoes. I use dried spices. How elaborate the sauce is depends on how late my nap goes, and how I feel when I wake up.

Kay,

It was so long ago that I made spaghetti sauce like that. Yours sounds good.



Keeping up with medical takes time and practice. I think that some get better at it than others. You seem to be doing a good job with appts and medicating.

The list of appointments I keep in the notebook in my purse is a mess. I have to rewrite it because I refer to it when I'm looking to schedule new appointments, etc. I also use it to put the events in my iPhone calendar where I schedule alerts. I'm behind on doing that.

I woke up this morning feeling just awful. I could barely sit up without feeling like I was going to pass out. I went back to bed just to lay down a couple of times. I'm feeling slightly better now, but I'm not ready to attempt to get in the shower. I'm considering going back to bed to nap for a while to see how I feel when I get up.

I was planning on going grocery shopping today. I don't know if I will feel well enough to do it later. If I can't, it will throw a real monkey wrench into my weekend plans. I was hoping to get Corey to the laundromat tomorrow, and the food shopping can't wait until Monday. I don't know if the laundromat will be open on Memorial Day, or if Corey will want to go then.

I went to the dispensary yesterday. They didn't have anything I've ever tried before, so I was forced to be adventurous (with the advice of the sales girl). I bought two types of medical MJ and I'm eager to try them.

I just reread my post and it reminded me I still have to straighten out my list of appointments and the calendar on my phone...

I did go back to bed yesterday morning for a couple of hours. It took me a while to get going. I felt okay to go grocery shopping, but it wasn't until about 3. I took my time, so I didn't get home until 5. I really could have used another nap after my outing, but it was too late in the day by then.

I woke up at 6am as usual and felt terrible again. I had a cigarette and a cup of of coffee, and went back to bed around 7. I didn't wake up again until 11:30!

Laundry will have to wait until tomorrow. It's too late in the day to do it now.

I am sorry you felt terrible again this morning.

Hope you can feel like doing laundry tomorrow. And start feeling better.

Even tho I went back to bed and slept for so long yesterday morning, I still took a 3 hour nap in the afternoon. I haven't done much, but I guess I needed all that sleep.

I would love to borrow somebody else's body for a day or two to get this apartment up to snuff. I have a hard enough time doing the basics, and right now I'm not even getting those things done. This place is a total mess, and it's really bothering me. Unfortunately I'm going to be so busy this week, I won't have much time, never mind the energy, to clean.

Yesterday Corey asked if the laundromat would even be open today, so I called and the lady who answered the phone said they will be (ha ha). We have to get some laundry done today, since it can't wait until next weekend because all three hampers are already overflowing. Maybe I can convince him to take a third bag this time? Unlikely...

Kay,

Good luck at the grocery store.

My mother sometimes used to clean the house by working only on one section and feeling good about that being taken care of.

I have tried that sometimes.

When something bugs me I clean it -- that seems to be my technique
now. Hubby and I do pretty much keep up with the kitchen although
I have my meds and stuff spread out on the kitchen table.

I finally got around to straightening out my appointment list and iCal.

Corey said we could only take 2 bags of laundry to the laundromat yesterday, so I stuffed those bags until they were bursting at the seams. I was able to jam in everything but 2 of his work sweatshirts, which he won't be needing anytime soon, and the sheets and and towels. He was somewhat amused. He was a lot of help folding this time, even if it was because he wanted to get the hell out of there.

I have that terrible test in Boston at 1pm today. Corey is driving me. We will have to leave at 11am. I'm REALLY NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, and I'm worried that when we get there they won't be able to do the test for some reason. I'm trying not to think about the test itself because it's so gross and invasive...

Wish me luck
