Tuesday AM: Finally got the baking dishes scrubbed I hope.
Wiped oven door down a bit ...yuck...black...oven still needs a lot of work.
Took 2 excedrin...brain inflamation or whatever is going on in the brain is getting to be too much.
Getting up now to hopefully get dressed and drive out to forest...hoing to have what it takes to lie down on cot

Rosie got to stretch her legs in the forest but I did not get out of the car...wasn't doing well enough...just wanted to get back home and lay down.
It still lifted my spirits to be out there.

I went shopping again with my friend today. We took some of my clothes to a consignment shop and I found some really cute tops there and a nice pair of black slacks I can wear to church.
My other black pants are all too big. It's nice to have clothes that fit now. We also went to Kohl's again (I'm overspent now!) and I found two pairs of jeans, one T shirt and finally a gold/silver toned hinge watch. Been looking for a gold one and couldn't find one to fit.
We cheated and bent it inward to make it fit! It worked!
Then we had Mexican food at lunch. By the time we got our lunch it was 2 pm and we were STARVING. We both came out with tummy aches but we were still happy!
She also took me to the health food store. She is such an angel!! Really lifted my spirits because I've been in so much pain the last two weeks.
Hoping my team wins tonight!! I'll be so sad if they don't!!

well ms tutu you are busy happy girl.
i am pooped. i only did 2 things today both from the wc and i am ready for bed but my friend still needs to come and take off the paint tape from the room. tomorrow she has a teenager she has been teaching to drive who will move the heavy furniture in. now with extra furntiure out of the hall i can get to the bathroom and laundry room and all 3 bedrooms with wheel chair...that will be a big help.
oh-i did 3 things but havent finished. i got papers from the bank...have to tell them how poor i am. this is humiliating...just have to do it and forget about it. then they decide if they will take the house or foreclose on it. i think the foreclosure would be more expensive and risky for me.
i looked at my calendar and see i have a stress test this friday. 3 appts next week and 2 the following week. surgery is a month from tomorrow.
im gonna sleep in my chair til my friend comes and then go to bed.

Having a rough week gang.
Am getting chewed out regularly except today, thank God.
Am gonna try to get on my stair climber this evening for about 15-20 minutes and hopefully my ab video.
Might have to switch up my routine and work out in the evening.
One good thing about getting chewed out is that they don't want me working there after 5 like I've been doing.
I'm getting further and further behind in my work but I'm happy to come home at a decent hour.
Kam, Kayak-Hang in there.
TuTu-I could use a shopping spree too.
Miss you guys and see you later!

Almost forgot.....
My friend looks great. I tried on her wigs that she wore when she lost her hair, we had lunch at O'Charley's and dinner at Carrabbas.
We talked and talked and watched a movie about Goya the artist.
We had a wonderful time.

Kayak you're right, I'm pooped. Didn't exercise yesterday and tonight I'm exhausted. Couldn't sleep worrying about my job.
Well gang, It was pretty quite on the job front today and I'm very grateful. Bogged down with work but tomorrow's Friday and I'm so glad.
Josh and his dog, Aida are coming over to spend the night. We're planning on going out for Mexican food Friday evening.
Thanks everyone for being supportive....it means so much to me.

but tutu-did you get results? you have to get your heart rate up somehow for them to read results. they have a shot that can get the heart rate up...but i am really afraid of that-will refuse.
so many bad things happen to me when i do what regular docs say to do.
so many things on my mind about the surgery. i started to read the packet and cant get past how i have no one to go to hosp with me...to stay with me first 24-48 hrs. my best friend had plans for a year to go away with her boyfriend for 2 weeks and the surg is right in the middle. she will be in NC
i have family but everyone works so much and cant take off...some smoke...some are alcoholics...so staying over night in a hosp would not be convenient...i do have a neighbor who will drive me home at the end...and an older friend who will come over days if i need help when i get back. but they cant come to hosp-for surg...its 40 min away
wierd-this is NOT lyme related and they still cant help. what if my lyme came back and i had a crisis...forget it.
i keep thinking this might be the end but i dont want it to be.
when my leg gets in the wrong position i scream in pain cuz i have to wiggle it to get it back...its just trial and error...i dont know what makws it go back in. poor etta. when ever i scream or cry she rushes to me to lick me. i guess that is a dog's cure-all.
well...test is 13 hrs away...better try to sleep.

**yes, they did the shot .. I don't think I've ever gotten my heart rate up high on the treadmill.. have too much trouble walking**

**amen to that!**

tutu-i havent forgot but am having trouble getting there
haha kam...i KNOW i said it with a D
i am very tired today-didnt really want to get up...but had to prep for neighbor coming to clean. she wiped out the closet from the room we finished last week so i could hang some clothes in it. (less clutter-yea!)
she scrubbed the tub and shower and it is sparkling!
and she cleaned all the inside of the fridge except the door and freezer-she did the hard part that i couldnt do-even had to read the book to figure out how to take the shelves out and stuff
tomorrow she is coming back to do floors...i am exhausted from the prepping and i think left over from the stress of the test yesterday but it is so nice to see clean spaces.
the only thing i really did was pick up a new walker with a seat...it has brakes and a basket too. i dont understand all the bells and whistles yet. i especially need this for trips to the post office-there is always a line but too hard to bring in the chair
i originally ordered it to be able to walk as far as i could...then rest and walk again...but that has all been stopped cuz of my possibly fracturing legs...
but im glas i have it...i need to go to motor vehicle soon...it will be helpful there
after she left i did about a hundred loads of laundry-a lot of linens for new bed and evrything else just piled up i guess...some camper stuff.
i did minimal walking-like a good girl-but every time i get up from sitting my legs hurt so bad...just like they are going to snap...
tomorrow when she comes to dofloors i plan to do a lot of paperwork so hope i wont be up and down so much. i really should only get up when i need toilet. and i do have potty...but hate to use it since i sleep in living room...and then i have to empty it...but guess i might be able to use it a few times b4 i empty and save a few steps...sorry for ramble...probably tmi
nite...hopw all are safe.
