So I have been so busy I don’t know what to do! I am working full time now instead of part time and it’s keeping me extremely busy!
I have been doing good. My acute pain has been more manageable as of late. Doooooont get me wrong it’s STILL there but I can b13#h slap her in the face and move along. Chronic pain is still here too. But I have been working sooo hard that I have been sleeping a lot more. I mean fail asleep between 8-10 and except for short wakes during the night I really haven’t had THAT bad of sleep. Well I do wake up between 3:30 and 4 and am up for an hour or so but that’s because all my life I’ve been a night time person and am usually up until midnight or one so I’m getting my clock reset I guess I could say.
I believe that the fact that I’m doubling our take home cash is the culprit because I’m not always stressing on how I’m gonna pay this bill or that bill and is the power co. Going to show up to turn the power off isn’t always on my mind has helped immensely!
Okay so enough bout me. Petunia, how you duin love? SK? And I heard the MG was going in for another test?
Welcome to all the newbies! You’ve found a wonderful place to vent, talk, make new friends…
Hey if anyone wants my cell number so we can text email me here and I’ll send you my number. It’s a little easier for me to keep in contact. I promise I’ll try and sneek in more than every couple of weeks.
Hiya Punkin, girl! Long time no see! Hey but that's a good thing.
I'm glad you're able to work full time (!) Wow. Okay, I am impressed. You must have a LOT of stamina. But please take care of yourself and don't push yourself off the fibro cliff.
Yes, having enough money feels so good! Paying bills feels good! I miss the days of bringing home a nice paycheck and even saving money. I once even had thousands of dollars in savings. All gone now.
Punkin, it's not possible that you could have an autoimmune illness and be in remission right now, could it be? I hate to even suggest it. Well, at any rate, I'm glad that you're managing quite well and looking good. You take care now, okay?
I do miss hearing from you. But I'm old school and don't text. So keep in touch here!
Hey Pet, I think after almost 4 years to the day. (The accident happened Wednesday November 28th, 2008.) I THINK I am FINALLY coming out of the continuous flare I’ve been in. Think about it. I had the stress of The acute pain immediately and up to 6 mo. After the accident. Then i went back to work where I was CONSTANTLY stressed about my job and the fact that my boss chose to wear his butt on his head and then at the end of the year he pushes me out of my job. Then I’m stressed about making sure I am searching the paper, websites, word of mouth for any top of income except forearms workin g fast food. Now don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with a job at a fast food establishment it’s just not in my card because of the standing all the time and long hours. And then there is the fact that I can’t stand to not be working. Then like I said in my first post there’s the stress of money. No matter what you do if there’s not enough of it you are going to stress about it. I’m always a pretty upbeat and positive person but when you always have in th back of your mind gas, electric, water, FOOD, it not going away.
So, now I am working, being around other people and like I mentioned doubling our income but now that I run the figures through its more like quadrupling our income now that I am working full time every little bit of stress I has is for the most part gone.
I still am having problems with my upper torso. I have to schedule PT because if I stay in one place too long my arms all the way down to my fingertips goes numb. But I have been putting it off till I had all the behind bills caught up.
The only stress I have really right Now is the fact that my bff, the one I was in the accident with is not talking to me. I don’t know what I did or if I did anything but she’s found a new best friend who doesn’t have kids, who has disposable income at her fingertips and can just go do anything whenever she wants to. But this shouldn’t be why she’s not taking to me. Hell I sent her pictures a couple weeks ago because she love halloween and she didn’t answer me. Wth is the deal with that? Then she posted a pic of her and her new bff saying “it’s nice to share this event with your bff!” It broke my heart. Because we were not just bff’s but we were like sisters. Heck we saw another more than we saw our husbands. Our huband’s still hang out together. But she never asks me to do anything and if I would ask if she wanted to do something she’d say she was busy with her NALS group and then I never hear anything from her and then to come to find out that she was hanging out with the other girl. I had made plans with her six mo. Ago to go see the king tut exhibit and she said we would talk about when it came closer and we set the date for October 27th. Well that date came and went and I didn’t hear a darned thing from her then to find out that she was with the other girl.
I hate sounding so petty or jealous but my feelings are hurt and I dwon’t know what the heck I did to deserve it. Bah!
I have missed you, girl! Big time! I am glad that work is going well for you and stress has been lifted! We are always glad to celebrate a success! I am happy to hear that your pain has been tolerable.
It hurts to hear that you are still being treated this way by a gal you were once so close to, she is really missing out, not hanging with you anymore! We wish we were closer to you, we surely do appreciate your company, I am sure that you are a blast live and in person! Danielle, she has lost her way as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully you will have a new bff in your life soon, someone more mature and loyal!
I am so sorry to hear that you missed the King Tut exhibit, I saw it in Egypt in the Egyptian museum in Cairo! It is simply spectacular! No one gets to see all of it though, they have broken it up into different groupings, the one that stays in the museums in Cairo and Luxor, and a few traveling exhibits. I would loved to have had access to their storage rooms as well! This is my interest and passion. I have an entire library on ancient Egypt. BTW, our very own Sheila Wall is related to the Master archeologist Howard Carter, who discovered Tut's tomb! I have also been in his tomb, and in the temples and the Great Pyramid and also the small one. The only place we did not go was Alexandria, but it really has nothing of the ancient world there. It would have been nice to have seen the Mediterrian Sea. I would have gone with you if I would have had to CRAWL!! Believe me!
I don't text either, it's hard enough for me to handle this large keyboard, my arthritis will not allow me the texting. I do TALK on the phone, like most of the 'old people'!! Although, I can type on the yahoo messenger, I keep in touch with Corinne that way! She is still calling and running all over GA to find a neurosurgeon to implant a pain pump that takes medicade! She is really upset about that, has been trying for months!
So glad you took a few minutes and came to visit! We really have missed you! Stop in when you can!
Gosh. Let me tell you. I have been very open in my opinions and feelings lately. There were two perfect examples… lol
I went a few weeks back to get lunch at Wendy’s. There was this guy there and he ordered five bacon cheese burgers and when his total came to $13.00 he threw a FIT! The cashier tried to point out to him thatthe total was correct. Well he obviously needed a new prescription on his glasses cuz he was looking at the cheeseburger that were $1.00 which the bacon cheese burgers were $1.69 ea. And so he huffed and puffed and he asked for a manager and finally he got what she was trying to say and she said well we can fix I and he Sid " no Nevermind" well then the two buddies that were with him ordered and stepped aside to wait for their food. I stepped up to the counter and looked at her and said " don’t worry about him honey he can’t see or hear what your saying to him because his heads so from up his a$$ it’s impeeding his vision!" She giggled and well he wasn’t happy with me because he called me all sorts of nasty names. I told him to go get some new glasses and he may want to see an audiologist to get h crap cleaned out of his ears cuz he’s having a hard time reading and listening. Lol. And with that he grabbed his food and left…
Well the a week ago both my daughter Haley 13 and my son Dylan 17 were performing in a fall concert with 4 local school choirs. Well… during the performance there were two ladies sitting to my left a couple seats down from me. And they kept talking at a regular tone…I noticed twice a guy sitting behind me asked them tw/o or three times to be quiet. I saw two times. Well anyways, they started up chatting again and it was just like nails on a chaulk board. Well there was about a one minute break between a son so they could switch things around. I stood up and leaned over towards the and said…" Ladies! ( one of them pointed to their chest like me?) I said yeah you! Listen! I am a parent to 2 of those kids up there and a surrogate to 90% of them! Ance much like the people sitting within the vicinity around you want to hear them sing and not you talk SO! I ask you this either shut the h311 up or go the pluck outside!" I got a round of applause from the parents. It was hilarious!
However someone called me a firecracker so I would share my funny firecracker stories!
Oh so your friend has a hair up her wazzu, huh? Surely sounds like she does. She has a very immature and passive/aggressive approach to handling the breakup that she's instigated. Pure silence would have been kinder than her snippy little tweet. I so dislike it when people meet you with snippy little passive/aggressive zings instead of an honest answer. She owes you an honest answer as to why she is angry with you. She has a right to her feelings but you have a right to know what went wrong, in her mind at least.
Her comment was so completely inappropriate that if flies all of the way out of Fenway Park and plonks against the ugly brick building next to the park. Friendships do fade, it's a sad truth of life that we change and move on. But she's not showing you the respect that you deserve for having been her friend and confidante all of those years by ignoring you and writing petty yet mean comments.
I completely agree with SK. You deserve better. You deserve a loyal friend who likes you for you and who doesn't treat you this way when she's angry. You're better than that, and you will find others who realize and appreciate you for being you. I'm sorry that you've encountered this. Some people really don't have a clue in life if they want to shove their hidden anger in your face. It's just not appropriate or reasonable. End of my rant.
It’s selfish. I don’t know what to think and as brazen as I am with strangers friends is a different story. I have a feeling it’s because while I was out of work we didn’t do a lot of things. Heck sorry but my husband was brining about $500 every two weeks home. We claimed chapter 13 last June and it is helping keep us in our home however it was leaving us hungry on the cash side. So there were a couple things I did turn down because I didn’t want her to feel obligated to pay for us to do stuff. And it doesn’t cost money to text though so I dkknt know what her deal is. I just want rock move on. I have a lot of acquaintances but the few close friends I have are just it. Ihere is one good example of things being off. When things were re good I’d be the first person to get a call or text saying “yay”! But about a week ago there was a post in fb announcing that she had passd d her PPL exam. She said “I can finally announce that I passed my PPL exams!” (Professional) exams and I posted a smart alick Remark saying " okay…how come I’m just now hearing about it hi way? And via fb? And congrats! I am soooo proud of you!" And number one he thanked everyone else who congratulated her and number two I got a response from Dara the new bff saying some b.s. story. This made me cry. I just don’t know. I don’t want to say anything because I don’t want to make it sound like I’m jealous of Dara and then there I the fact that my husband is still bff worth her husband. I can’t talk to my husband about it because of this also. Thanks for listening you guys. SK BIG HUGS TO YOU. I would love to go to Egypt and Pet your a doll. Him gentle hugs to you too
