I forgot the cleaning lady was coming today. I left her the check, but forgot to pick up all sorts of stuff I don't like to leave laying around.
I trust her completely, but the more stuff laying out the less deep cleaning gets done. My fault.
Stressful work day. Kids getting lazy. Helicopter parents driving me nuts.
Rode the exercise bike for 20 minutes. Am counting the 10 minutes it took for me to sweep the snow off the drive and porch, too.
Really cold here.

I always hide my supps and meds when workers are in house. It eas exhusting when house was workrd on. But i was afraid word would get out i had narcotics...even tho i dont. I dont think ibuprofen brings much on the street but didnt want the word out i had pills in here
And red root and artemesia cut and dried look a lot like pot
My little girl was acting foolish too...shoveling snow over her head and not getting it where it needed to go
A lot of ppl are a little crazy here. I heard many more collapses...big ones...apt buildings etc
The roof guy came and i didnt recognize him cuz he shaved and didnt have his waders on. He did a lot of work in half an hour. So i am a little more opened up
And i did some errands but didnt get my armour
At least no wind tonight and not below zero

kayak .. You need to let the girl know what you expect. You cannot take the stress of babysitting her.
Pretend she is one of your students.

Im done teachin. i tell them what i need..i give clear directions... If they mess around i dont call them back
I am glad i found this roof guy...hes a mason in the summer so hes very strong...but....i am sort of wondering if he took something to make him stronger
But so far so good. And spring will come.
The two kids i wont use anymore this year i will try again next year. But its not worth the stress . I need them to work on their own

Hiker .. it's funny that both of us forgot the cleaning lady was coming. I never forget!! Of course, I'm just now getting used to having one again.
Thankfully, my house was not terribly cluttered. Just the stupid bar and I cleaned it while she was here. I need to work on it some more.
It's really large and so tempting to put papers there, and magazines, and hats, and stuff for church, and ....

Able to fill out housing paper owrk...some of it..still have some things to do ...then i will get it in the mail
Bad mood today but need to talk to myself...healthy self...you are not doing well today you need to lay down and get better
Lyme Self..you are doing well...hang in there...rest a bit and then see what else you can do
Also able to get a couple of copies of proof of income to apartment manager but noticed they have changed my name again so need to contact them with correct spelling
one paper has the correct name...the other does not..always makes me concerned as there are two people with the same name living in my town
but the address should help them get it right??
Took excedrin and claritin this am. Need to get up now and meet friend to try and be on the trail a bit...really need to lay down some more.
hoping to read what you all have been up to later
Trying to change attitude about the paper work thing for housing from anger to being thankful which is more appropriate

lp-and I have PCSD--post cold stress disorder. Way below zero today and the wind chills are absolutely numbing.
The thought of going to get my hair cut after work makes me cold.
Does shivering count as exercise. The heat does not work in my classroom.

The zoning compliance guy woke me up to see what neighbor is doing to my fence. He was very nice and told me the neighbor was not allowed to put snow on my yard or bre as k fence. He hasnt done anyting more with machines since cops t as lked to him. I just want this togo away. I hate working with lawyers. But we wont know if fence is damaged til snow melts
Anyway there are 3 ppl in town that know of priblem

OK I have the paper work in for rent...i believe the ball is now in the others court.
I know I did not get everything filled out or copied due to neuro but at least I have the ball rolling on it.
I looked on line for housing to purchase and noticed if i had the down payment needed, I could own my own home for about $100 more or so than I am paying now.
There were only two homes listed in the city limits ...both were repossed tailers or whatever it is called prefab homes.
One is close to the apartments so will drive by.
Guessing both are fixer uppers. But, it is nice just to look. I do not have the down payment and do not want to live na atrailer like dweellling I think.
Unless it is located on some land wiht a view

Interesting what willow or zillow shoed as rent value on both pieces of propety..twice what the payment would be on the property.
guessing that is not realistic rent value...actually kind of know as i have been looking for homes to rent so kind of have an idea what homes rent for

Kam.. the stuffy nose after eating is likely a histamine response. I hope you aren't headed down that path too. It's not fun.
kayak and hiker... yes, the PSSD or PCSD sounds about right. It was -5 in the nearby city .. not sure how cold here. Maybe 5 degrees or less. High of 30 today.
Really cold weather coming next week.
Lisa.. the apron and hat sound so cute! I bet he will really love it!

Thursday-I'm going to count getting up, dressed and at work as exercise today.
Couldn't sleep until after 3 a.m. and had to get up at 6:30.
Was planning on going to the museum tonight for jazz and a poetry reading but am struggling to stay awake.
BTW, you guys made me laugh with the PSSD and PCSD's.

Shoot. I replied and lost it. Basically saud i hurt and put call into roofer snow guy but he hasnt gotten back. Everything is caving in fromsnow. They are paying all these guys to get on roof...and they are falling thru skylights and stuff. ITS REALLY HARD TO GET...oops...anyone to work
I did some cleaning up of bexroom this morning. I have had it closed off...bed holds clean laundry waiting to be put away....its so cold in there i havent slept there in a long time. No pipes near that room so i can close it off and not worry
Then after shiveling and long hot sit down shower i did some work on papers. I thinki have a way that at the end of month i really know how much i spent and have receipts for taxes all organized
Probably snuggle down and watch tv soon. Its still pretty warm outside. 21 i think. But very windy and as soon i i take snow off roof its harder to keep house warm. Snow insulates really well
Kam...i want you to have a nice place to live but a lot of things can go wrong with a house. Be careful.
And yes...i can picture that apron. Cute!

6 am got up. But cat woke me up several times efore i got up...even attacking my hair on my head to try and get me to get up.
as soon as i got up she wanted out doors
made some detox tea. tried to find the paper work on the meds via mail or on line but wasn't doing well enough to do so so laying back down.
not able to read your posts this am either.
guess the next step is to get back up and take a couple of excedrin to see if htat helps me be able to get dresssed and take rosie out to toilet
wanted to take a shower last night but wasn't able..hoping i am able to this am...boey is sticky.
legs are white and pasty...rare i even care about that but ti was hot out yesterday and i am considering putting shorts on today
not that i will be able to be in the sun for longer than 5 or 10 min but if i could do that several times today that would e good as fi cruise around in the power chair
good news. a guy that works at pride mobility is sending me the motor for my small power chair.
this is the one i use in the apartment and goes on my lift so i can go to the store, etc or just cruise in the undeveloped area i like to go with rosie
now i need to contact the local mobility store to see how much it will cost to have them put the motor on and also how much it will be to get the small tires on the back of the power chair...poiwer chair is a 6 wheeler
need big ires for the large power chair too but not concerned about that...they are just bald....
small tires on small power chair look like they are going to fall apart...if they do..i would not be able to use power chair.it would not go

Friday-Feeling sick today. Starting to get flu or something that's going around work. Surprises me because I've been on Doxy for about a month now.
Got plenty of rest last night and have a big weekend planned.
Tonight me and my Mom are going to the ballet to see Swan Lake. I'm so excited! Get to spend quality time with my Mom and have never been to a ballet before.
Then Saturday I'm taking my Mom to Emory Hospital in Atlanta tomorrow for an MRI and afterwards we're going to an international market for some groceries.
So hope my health holds out for all the fun!
See you all later!

Cuz sat-sun we get six inches wet snow/sleet/rain mix and if rhat falls on dry snow it gets real heavy....dangerous
I might pull some more off today and tomorrow but im scared to walk to far side of house
If i fall i cant get up and noone would see me

As soon as i feel something coming on i take elderberry and usually dont get sick. They sell it at regular drug stores now for 14.99. Expensive but worth it to me

Althought I have been living with this a long time I still get amazed at how the brain will work for one thing and not another.
Able to take a shower. Have yet to get dressed but am enjoying being clean.
Able to put some hanging files in new metal file small portable cabinet. Figured I needed something in case the sprinklers go off in my apartment to keep things dry.
Able to write on about 4 tabs before brain went...it was a struggle on each tab..weird.
I have yet to set up a filing system since health went south. But, think I can do what I can when I can now to get one set up.
CAregiver cleaned up in kitchen and vacuumed and made a pitcher of the lemon/cucumber drink...about the only thing that hydrates me so good to have that
Caregiver was late again today...an hour...but I think she also put in more than an hour this am
I like her but need to seperate my concern for her over doing it in her own life and how it overflows to my life....just with scheduling and not being here and effects of her work.
Bottom line is I would rather have her than someone else as the ones before her were not do able.

Almost 11 am. I think I am pretty much done what I can this am...with the exception of getting dressed when able.
We shall see.
But, feels good to have things that stress me done..kind of..still need to sign paper work for housing when they have it ready. Not sure what the deadline is for them getting things done.

Just got back from massage therapy. She did some craniosacral work too.
Kayak-You be careful out there in the snow and ice! BTW, is that elderberry pills or tea? I'm going to Vitamin Shoppe Saturday to pick up some berberine, bilberry and bromelain so I'll pick up some elderberry too while I'm at it.
Kam-I'm dreaming of downsizing! I can't manage the doublewide and almost 4 acres we have. It's gone to pot since I started working full time. I'd like a condo or apartment so I don't have to do so much work.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

THe elderberry that works for me is a syrup called sambucal
I dont usually do sugar but once when really sick i had to use it and it made me better and didnt hurt me
The other way i get it is in drops i put in greentea. Both work good for me

Ran into another parked car while out this afternoon.
Hit it with my power chair lift. Broke a plastic thing on top of the bumper.
Person I hit was a young person and would not get off of the phone. She kept making phone calls.
I got tired of waiting for her to stop using the phone. I did hear her call the police and that they said just to exchange information.
That was about the 5th phone call she made.
I walked over to give her my information. She stil would not get off the phone but did take the time to insult me ..asking me if I should even be driving and why did not not turn this way or that way when backing out.
I just drove off.
Went to insurance company to see if I was covered. Learned I was but that I also can pay cash if I want for the damages.
Then went to the body shop to see what it would cost. I took a picture of her license plate and the damage.
On the way home, the police stopped me. They did a drunk driver check as the young teen called in to the police and said I just came out of the Buffalo Bar and Grill and was drunk as a skunk.
They could see I was not drunk but I did have trouble with the eye test thing ...following the pen without moving my face I guess.
He got mad at me. But, after several tries he let me go.
Threated to take me to the police station and do a breath test. I told him I was fine with that as I do not drink.
Maybe I should just let the insurance cover this or deal with this as she is trouble.
I told her I could not be on my feet for long and usually use a power chair to get around.
But, I was reminded that it is better for me to just do what I am going to do first thing in the morning as I function better then.
I did not get to tell her I was sorry for hitting her car.
Body is shaking now. Can't imagine what it would be like to really be in an accident.
Damage done to her car was not something that really needed fixing but that is up to her.
She took a picture of my license plate number after I took a picture of hers.
Glad I kept my cool. I really dislike people who have phones glued to their ears. Very rude.
You would think that somethign like this would be cause to get off of the phone.

TGIF. Went to energy healer. Then to the grocery store as snow is moving in tonight and I don't want to deal with shopping in it tomorrow.
A cousin I have not seen in 40 e-mailed and said he would be in town this weekend. I guess we may meet up, but I really did not like him when I was a child nor the way he treated my mom and uncle as an adult.
Time to go read.

Oh wow... Just got home from a gig across town .. Thought we would not have trouble getting home since the radar looked good at 3 pm when we left. (hahaha)
So the gig was from 5:30 to 6:30 .. and around 7pm it begins POURING DOWN rain and sleet and whatever else was up there .. complete with THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.
Hubby got it all loaded somehow and was soaking wet when he got through. Walking to the car was tricky.
The ride home was even worse but we made it in about 15 minutes. It was hovering around 30-32 degrees the whole time. My phone said it was 28 degrees. I'm glad it was wrong... at least I hope it was wrong.
But the main thing is we are home safe and sound. Now just praying it doesn't ice so much that we lose power.
**editing to add .. the Weather Channel says it is 28 degrees**
EEK!

Wow tutu. Glad your ok. The news eas full of awful things from.weather. so much cold where your not set up for it makes it basically impossibe. And i guess until you experience it once youjust dont understand how important it is to sty off roads
Kam. You sure did good keeping your cool. What an awful thing to have happen
I friend with lyme went to airport soon after 9/11 the safty guys started yelling at him to do stuff and he couldnt understand the directions so the guys just kept yelling louder and it was really hard on him. So many dont have a clue how different disabilities can be. Its a real problemwhen the autirities dont get it either
I got a few things done cooked a few things that will last a week. Made progress with papers. Laundry. Dishes
The neighbor will be home tomorrow so i will tell her when.i go out and she will check me in half hourciff i dont tell her imdone
Im still so sore and have so many pains and such a hard time
standing up.
In about a week the really cild weather should start to change. When the sun is out it really helps warm.up the house
Spring will come but i dont think i will get to plant peas on st paddts

ALW....i often think about going back to having land around me but had not considered the up keep.
I guess it depends on what the terrain is. Here I imagine forest around me and a view.
I must admit it is nice to have a maintence person on site to fix things now and then...like when the kitchen lights kept going out...he put in a new thing a my gig...flourescent lights.
I could not have climbed on a latter and put them in.
Tutu...glad you made it home safely.
Woke at 2:30 am thinking about the young cop giving me the eye test. Even when he was giving it to me I kept thinking the doctor's don't move the pen out of the line of vision when they do the test.
He moved it too far to the let or right.
I wish I had realized that at the time and told him the doctor's have doen this test with me and they do not move it so far to the left or right where it is no longer in site and expect me to hold my eyes to the left or right until he decides to move the pen back where it is in site again.

I had a bad night. I havent done hard physical work in so long but my knee and shoulder got way worse. My knee cap kept moving away from.where it should be and got stuck and hurt really bad til i popped it back. And shoulder did something similar
I guess i moved a little in my sleep and then.woke up in bad pain
I had taken as much meds as i could too
Becsuse of that i didnt dare go out to do roof. It was -1 and if i fell no one would see me
I cant get any helpers. All are hurt or working on collapsing buildings. But i did get in truck and drive out to road where i can see side roof where it piles up and there was hardly any therr. Imjust gonna try to relax and just get thru this
Even in the house i cant move enough to pick up messes. I have the energy to empty dryer and fold but cant get clothes where they belong
Or i create really good filing system...but it takes 3 days and papers are out in piles til.im.done
I just have to "let it go" as they say...it has to get better soon.
I found a few professional organizers locally. If i wasnt saving forvacation with kids i moght pay one to help. But cant do that for awhile

Kam--A house is so much work. Yesterday when the garage door would not shut, I knew exactly how to fix the remote,
but I can't balance on a ladder and use a screwdriver at the same time.
So, I had to call a neighbor at 7 A.M. to do it just so I could go to work and not leave the door open all day.
Tutu--winter is getting old. We were supposed to get 5 inches, but fortunately got much less and I could clear the drive easily this morning.
My cousin, Jim, whom I have not seen in 40 years is coming tonight. I understand he is quite the gabber.
My dad said he does not drink alcohol, coffee, tea, soft drinks, so I don't have much to offer him. Dad said water would be fine and when he leaves I might want something a lot stronger.
I had to chuckle at that.
I only am going to ride the exercise bike a short time, since I got some minutes clearing the snow. I will meet my exercise goal of 125 minutes per week again.

I haven't a clue. We're out of ice melt and I fear we may have trouble walking to our car in the morning.
Got my car uncovered but still have some ice covering my windshield wipers. I may still be able to rescue them before it freezes this evening.

it is snowing here again. several more inches and coming fast. ice tonight. it looks so pretty. but hate to go out in the cold. way too cold.
last night I made shrimp po boys for my husbands birthday dinner. got a late start, but was totally worth it. they were out of this world! super yummy. I want to make it for everyone to share in the yummyness. I wish I could do that.
but today my joints are paying for those lovely shrimp.
I did some work on computer today. and cleaned the bathroom some in our room. and some laundry. not much else. too tired now and achy.
kayak, we aer getting more than what they predicted. does that mean you are too? or will you get less I hope.

I spent 2 hrs in the large outdoor power chair this am. Paying for it since.
Can't recall if I took meds both times today or not.
I do recall taking them once.
Wishing I had checked in here. It helps me stay centered?? Feel like I am a bit on the rim of the wagon wheel instead of the center.
Still upset about yesterday. Sent email to police department on rights. Thinking they should have let me sit down to do the pen test and been able to have my back to the sun.
Also what the consequences if any for who ever called in the false call.
Plus the deductible for the fender bender.
Kind of need to focus on the positives instead of feeling so unhealthy today.
But, the lake was nice. I cruised all the way around it. Then had a conversation with a couple of people while there.
I had been invited by a person who moved into the apartments 4 days before the fire.
She was going to do some remote control model sailing. It was relazing watching the boat.
And yes. Lots of trees in blossom and saw some daffodils..I wasn't up to taking pictures when I saw the daffodils.
One of the neighbors said just when she thought she had her ducks in a row someone comes along and kicks them all over the place.
I can relate although my worries are really not something I would even be worried about if health were better.
It will all work out.
Still getting use to be able to communicate with people and trying to figure out the filters..tough explain but do not trust my decisions.
I will do better tomorrow. I will go back to writing on the white board when I took meds.
Suppose to go hiking tomorrow morning. Hope health is doing well enough.
Have not driven car yet. But did test lift and it still is working thankfully.
Lisa..i don't know about you but the joints, bones, muscles and all of that is tricky figuring out what is causing what pain.
Glad you were able to do what you did.
Tutu..spring is coming.
This time of the year is always unsettling waiting to see what the rent is going to be each year.
I really dislike that.

Kam... I think it would be better to let the insurance company go to bat for you.
They will want to protect their own interests.
Sorry you had to go through that and be treated so rudely.

Woke up still trying to sort things thru my mind.
It is a learning curve most of the time with this. Still hurting from being in the power chair for 2 hours yesterday.
But, at the time I thought I ws doing OK.
Also fell asleep with the head upright a bit on my bed instead of flat so that could be part of the back pain too.
As far as the young girl not communicating with me and not getting off of her phone and making all the calls...still trying to figure out how she came up with me being drunk.
I thought I was walking OK. I only got out of the car to take a picture of the damage and of her license plate and then to give her my info which would not take and was still talking on the phone.
She acted like I was not there. Invisiable. So when I went to hand her my info she ingnored that so I put it under her windshield wipers.
Best case is I wasn't walking on my feet as welll as I thought.
And I do need to wait until the power chair is fixed before I try and walk int and out of a store that does not have elec carts.
I guess. Still not sure about what I could have done differently.
I told the young person I could not be on my feet. I had a lift for a power chair on the back of my car.
Same with police.
But, still trying to recover from the incident.
Odds are it will not happen again or anything like it but just in case trying to figure out what to do.
I did send an email to the police as they made things worse. A neighbor ws driving by and whle they had stopped me and were testing me with the pen.
She said she wanted to stop and yelll at them as she knew me and knew I was not a drunk driver and they were getting in my face when she was driving by..but she thought it would make things worse.
As far as cost...my deductible might be more than what it would cost to have the insurance pay for it so that is just a wait and see.
I do not know what my deductible is. And I am not up to finding out know.
Mostly I do not like health being like this.
And would like to be able to let the young person know...one...it was very rude of her to be on the phone from the time she came out of the store and until I left and it would have been a good idea to put the phone down...maybe..unless she had a mouth on her which it looked like she did.
2. the calling in to say i was coming out of a local bar...ok..now that I am typing this it is good she was on the phone as guessing the words that would have come out of her mouth would have made things worse
Got to get up and put some of that spray on my back.

Good news is I was able to get up look in the usual spots for the intense muscle spray ..when it was not there...able to recall where is aw it last.
really like it when that happens. able to be on feet to get it from the car...one would think i was drunk i suppose or just notice it was diffictul for me to be on my feet this am
took 2 excedrin also. need to get back up and write it on the white board so i can keep track of meds today.
trying to let the fender bender go but still wake up out of sorts because of it...this is not me...or wasn't before the health went south.
ran into two not very nice people which made things worse but also ran into two nice people
Hate health is a constant learning curve
still not sure i am ready to get in the car again..but mostly because of pain in body...need to wait it out until that is doing better.
need to get gas in car.
need a local friend which i was trying to make friends yesterday by going to the lake
also have the dog park friend who i have been able to go on a few walks with but again adjusting to health is tricky and accepting it is even more tricky
but i know getting out to be around people is a good thing and even better becaue health is able to do these things now which i have not been able to do for a very long time and it depends on who i am around
i find myself even getting angry in my mind wiht the person i am around but know it is not them but my health
So I will keep trying and keep trying to stay tuned into my health needs and listen to my body.

excedrin and intense muscle spry is not taking away the pain which is too much too think straight.
dog let me knwo i had not fed her with her help bark and cat let me know with her mewing...but funny thing about the cat..she had food in her dish...she just likes me to go thru the routine at the same time
so cat and dog fed
trying to figure otu what i can do
i did take rosie out to toilet..that made health worse.
or pain in this case
so...i guess next step is to get dress and try and go out to be on the forest trail this am with dog aprk buddy
it seems i neve rknow until i try if i can do it
there has been tiesm when just getting my boots on was too much and i thought iw ould not be able to do it..but once i ws there i was ok...
so i try and get there at least
