Sparkle would be a nice word if we were not talking about migraines.

How the mood?

hehe. yeah. we haven't even had stupid telesales calls.

]Hubby has been moving some of his things over to the new place every morning and setting up some new bookshelves. He is still working summer school.

On Sat hubby and I started trying to organize and clean a bit ---
=-=-
- cleaned out the portable microwave that we are bringing with us because the kitchen is not built yet,
- are currently defrosting the mini-fridge, . ..
- I took out some garbage bags of garbage to the dumpster . .
-hubby is doing lots of laundry loads. I'm not sure what he is up to -- does not seem like a priority to me but I stay out of his way when he has a project going

--- but Sat was really my first day that I got serious with this stuff.


Sunday morning he wants to clean a little more for me at the new place while I am sleeping.

We are paying a company to pack us up here. But we have to organize as much as we can first before they get here.

We really have a lot of stuff to do in the new place before Monday /August 17 when we start back to work.

Well, it sounds as though you are on a roll! i am so glad hubby is seems to be on the ball about this. in spite of summer school and all.

I spent two afternoons recently with my work friend who is on a chemo drip in the hospital. He is doing a whole week in-patient.

i imagine this is hard. how is your friend doing?

Fri I saw tdoc. She was good.

good to hear. i am not sure if i will be seeing pdoc as frequently in the next months either. it seems like most of what i need to do, meds aside, i need to just DO... somehow.

I bought some new shirts and then shrunk them in the hot water in the washer. I am soooo disappointed.

OH NO!!!! I remember you posting about buying shirts and how that sounded fun... i take it those were the shirts? arghh!

It's past bed time -- but hubby kind of wakes up from a long nap in the middle of the night and then gets a burst of energy and then goes back to bed. It takes him about 1 minute to go back to sleep when he wants to.
I tried to tell him that this is my night time and that I need to unwind.

ROFL. When i think about these situations, i just cannot imagine being married. Well, if i were working it wouldn't be a bit deal... i always managed ... somehow. caught up on weekends. But according to that article perhaps that's what got a lot of negativity in me.... lol.

I hope to be in bed by 7:00 am

ha! now THAT's what i call a reasonable bed time. Too bad it doesn't suit the rest of the world.

How are you doing with the CPAP btw? able to keep it on most of your sleeping hours now?

you sound more calm and collected than you have in a while, in spite of everything. i hope that is an accurate perception and not just wishful thinking.

well... yes, i have to lower the bar... and say yes, i did get a bit done. actually it wasn't much but it was important, hard stuff to do... stuff with a high "hop to it" threshold to overcome. so that counts for a lot, lol.

Sparkle would be a nice word if we were not talking about migraines.

i have never been convinced they were auras but for the timing and that others have told me they are auras. i have never found a written description that matches what i see. "scintillating scotoma" are about as close as it gets" but those still seem like more troublesome... these do not interfere with my vision. they are actually very pretty except that the light can get very bright and that is bothersome. it looks like bright pinpricks of light (that small) that appear and disappear very fast. sort of like glitter but not as dense, although the more i look at it the more numerous they become - i usually look away so as not to further induce the phenomenon, whatever it be.

How the mood?

actually, good, thank you. but the test of fire will be the last 2-3 days of my cycle and the first 1-2 of the next. that is the major drop. it seems to be associated with a drop in dopamine as well... will double check that... have a book on this... and in that sense wellbutrin is perfect because it inhibits dopamine reuptake.

but more later... now off to watch my last shot at an Angel rerun. was having migraines when it ran the last two times. thankfully ok now in that department too!

oh... the feet are holding up pretty well actually - better than i expected at this point already.

I got a lot of work done around my apartment Friday and Saturday. Today I am fixing stuff cabbage and will freeze them individually. I went to the local bar this morning but no one talked to me there. Came home and my neighbor Shirley came over for a visit and some coffee.

Well done on being so productive...

and cooking too. what do you put in stuffed cabbage?

Is the local bar is a different place than your hang out, right? Maybe it was just kind of an off day. Or you never know. How are you feeling? Did you try to strike up a conversation?

Well i'm glad you and Shirley got to chat.

I wish I could say good things, but I feel sick, think a new med is making my headachy and stomach-achey. had to clean the turtle tank today and also my closet. Just didn't have a good day today. Yesterday either. I don't expect tomorrow to be any better. Just in a funk and light depression. Hope everyone else is doing well. GOodl uck with the move Mari.

GLad you're ok after the minior accident Abbie. Take care.

[Abbie]

I'm a little stiff which is to be expected... My car looks terrible but it could have been worse... my air-bags did not deploy so I wasn't going too fast.

The insurance and the auto body place says it looks like the truck rolled from left to right over the top of me... I know I was merging to the right and my guess he was too but didn't see me.

I haven't really watched any movies yet...I upped my xanax to another mg., that I take mid afternoon. It is helping me from freaking out...kind of numbing me.

Good thing I only have one thing I have to do this week... take mom to her doc appointment... I'll take my dad to work then bring his truck back, take mom to her appointment and to work... then I will either take his truck back to his work and try to catch a bus home or just wait until it is time for him to get off work and pick him up.

Hope everyone is had a wonderful weekend...

Waves, the local bar I went into today is not the regular hangout I normally go to where I see Bobby. That place is a restaurant and not a bar that I see Bobby in and is the place I've talked about here. I went back to the local bar and spoke with one person. Then I left and went to a 2nd bar and a guy was giving me the eye and I looked back. The 3rd bar I went into I spoke with 2 different people. I am trying to broaden my hangouts. I drank sweet tea in all 3 bars as I do not drive and drink.

I put hamburger with rice in it inside my cabbage and cook it in tomato sauce.

I also made up a poem today.

Hi everyone

I've been in Kokomo again. Its not been the best of visits this time. I seem to have caught a bug. But hopefully I'll start to feel better since I'm back
home and can take the medicine for the throwing up.

I left Derrick there he is going to Indiana Beach with my nephew tomorrow.
And they should have a great time. I'm picking him up.

I don't have much news, just need to catch up on work things.
