I hate to hear how he verbally abuses you.
sigh
grr!
I don't know how you keep putting up with his behavior.

I'm not just being constantly abused. I guess the good parts of our relationship are the reasons why I put up with the s- parts.

I'm getting very nervous about getting my MMJ card. I changed my address using the online system, but I did a terrible job downloading the picture of my license, so I had to wait for the change to be approved. I applied for duplicate once it was. But I'm still waiting for the card request to be approved, which means they haven't printed or mailed it, and I'm running low on MJ. I'm going to try calling them today to see what's up. I hope I have the right phone number. What a mess!

I made pasta sauce early yesterday afternoon so I could just heat it up and boil the pasta when I woke up from my nap. I can't wake up at 6, and have that ready for 7 because I put a lot of love (and ingredients) into my meat sauce, and it has to simmer for a while. I dragged my a- out of bed just before 6:30, and had dinner ready just before 7, so it worked out perfectly
I'm going to make chicken casserole this afternoon: just poached chicken and peas in gravy topped with herbed stuffing. I'll prepare a cookie sheet with foil and leave Corey directions for putting it in the oven in case I'm not up on time. It takes 45min, or about 1hr if I leave it in the fridge. He usually does well with things like that, but only if I write out the directions.

I have to go out to pick up prescriptions today, but the rest of the day is my own. No doctors appointments or tests... But I have a pdoc appointment tomorrow, and *FINALLY* a Tysabri treatment on Friday.

We saw the deer again last night. They were much farther away, but they were in a clearing, so we were able to get a better view. It looked like there was an adult female with them this time. The little ones look so tiny and fragile. The maintenance guy said that the ones we have been seeing must be the 1 year olds.

The leasing office sent me an email with a link to a survey about my "maintenance request." I plan on ignoring it. I have nothing nice to say. I don't care if I can get a chance to win a $250 rent credit.

Heehee, if it was me I'd send it in telling them how bad the maintenance
request turned out to be.

I agree with donna!

The leasing office will keep sending me emails with links to that survey until I take it, or it "expires." Maybe I will be in the mood to take it one of those times. IDK.

I spend about 25 minutes waiting on hold to straighten out the business with my MMJ card. Once my change of address was approved, I should have been sent an email with a link to print out a temporary card, but that didn't happen for some reason. The lady on the phone corrected that, and since I have my temporary card now, I can go to the dispensary any time I need to, so that is a big relief They're going to send out the real card on Thursday. I'm very happy I called, and was patient enough to wait all that time on hold

I decided I wasn't going out to CVS to get my prescriptions yesterday since I will be going out today. I'm glad I didn't, because I realized I only have 1 dose of 100mg's of gabapentin. I didn't notice it was due to be refilled because it's "on hold," meaning I have to call them to request they refill it. What use is the f'ing app if I have still have to call the pharmacy to refill s-?!?
I'm taking a total of 900mg of gabapentin, and my pdoc still has me taking (1) 400 + (1) 300 + (2) 100's incase my dose changes. I see her today, and she'll probably reduce my dose by 100mg because I've been sleeping so much. I'll have to talk to her about the dosing because it's just crazy. I'll refill the 100's anyway.

I really didn't do s- yesterday, aside from making the casserole, and doing all the dishes I dirtied in the process. Corey did a good job following directions, and the casserole was ready when I woke up (even later than usual). It was a hit, and we have leftovers. There's leftover meat sauce as well. So far, my plan of making dinners during the day is working out well. It's a lot better than eating crap food, or ending up having to order out because I'm too tired to cook. But I think I will just make hot dogs and tater tots tonight

I am glad that you got your MMJ temporary card! I know how it helps you with your spasms from your MS. ANd good for you for waiting patiently!

Glad that your dinner was a hit.
Here is hoping you have a good pdoc visit.

I filled my pdoc in on everything that's gone on since I saw her last. I apologized to her in case I sounded agitated. She said that I just sounded PO'ed and frustrated about things, but she thinks I'm handling stress well right now, and she thinks I'm stable. She lowered my dose of gabapentin by 100mg to a total of 800mg, with the discretion to go down to 700mg if I thought it was appropriate. I talked to her about the crazy dosing, and she prescribed a 600mg tablet and 100mg caps (1-3 at night). I don't have to see her for 2 months!!! I can't remember when I could book an appointment that far out!!!
Let's see if I can stay stable for that long tho. Because that's another story

I ended up taking the survey about my "maintenance request." I gave the bug guy 5 stars. I'm sure you can guess how the leasing office scored, and what my comments about them were. I did keep it clean tho lol.

I never ended up taking a nap yesterday, so I fell asleep early, and I didn't wake up until after 9:30 this morning!
That's so late for me! I have cleaning to do today, but I like to sit on my a- for a while when I get up everyday, and I'm running behind. Oh well.
I also have to go out and play the lottery today. I guess I will shower and run out and get that out of the way before I hunker down and start cleaning.

I don't have to "really" cook tonight because I'm just going to repurpose the leftover meat sauce. I don't want it to go to waste, and it's one of those things that's actually better the second time around

I have my Tysabri treatment tomorrow morning at 9am, so I doubt I will be online. I'll probably be dragging a- and getting there by the skin of my teeth as is. If I'm a good girl, I'll be going to the supermarket afterwards.

I am glad that you area getting your ms treatment tomorrow.
Happy to hear that you are stable enough to lower your neurontin . And see her again in 2 months !!!!!
great report this morning.

I’m getting my Tysabri now. It’s good to see all the girls again! They’re all curious about the surgery and the outcome. They say I look a lot better, but I need to lose some weight... at least 5 pounds.

I have to go buy cigarettes today and do some “light” grocery shopping. I’m going to try to flip the script AGAIN so that I don’t end up having to do it on busy Fridays or Saturdays.

I’m going to make red beans and rice for dinner. I’m going to try to cut back on the spices because Corey can’t handle heat like I can (now that he’s an old man lol), and he refuses to taste test.

add some spices at the table for yourself!
