      Hi there Yuppie

      Story: My back has been killing me for at least a month. It's been an intense, disabling pain. I ran out of my Prozac so I took some Celexa. Within 12 hours, the pain was 50% gone. After 24 hours, the pain was virtually gone. I took another day of Celexa even though I filled my script and sure enough, the pain has not returned.

      I got on Prozac because my anxiety yawns were back as was that back pain. I never considered my anti-depressant had stopped working until those yawns struck. But now Prozac stopped working and Celexa is? What?- am I going to have to alternate the meds every 6 months or so?

      Which further lead to another old question: How the heck do anti-depressants even help with pain?! It makes no logical sense. So I googled it and came up with Fibromyalgia. I've been reading up on that and it explains all my pains that doctors have been confused by. Now, what to do with this knowledge? There's still nothing to be done, but at least I now have something I can think on and pursue.

      Other than that, life has been quiet for the most part. Still playing taxi but that won't change in the foreseeable future.

      Hope everyone has a great day.

      Went grocery shopping, rang everything up at the self check-out, pulled out my wallet to pay, suddenly recalled that I took my card out of my wallet two days ago and put it in my running shorts so I could grab a beer beer during my bike ride. I'm mostly just embarrassed.

      I waited in line for 2 hours to submit application for my Aadhar card (it's a kind of ID card) and in the end they wouldn't accept my address proof because my rental agreement is 3 pages long (they want all details on one page) and my electricity bill has faded ink.
      Now I have to get a letter signed from HR, and go back and stand in queue again tomorrow.

      I would appreciate it if professors would stop uploading the 20+page reading assignment PDFs sideways or upside down to canvas. They either need to stop doing it or pay me ten bucks and hour and I'll happily go through and flip them all the right way page by page in adobe acrobat.

      OP, I have done that before. It is quite embarrassing lol. Hope you went back for your stuff?

      Anju, our DMV is much like that. It drives me completely bonkers.

      lol Jade, you should offer your services to them

      Rave: even though my Fitbit says I only slept for 5 hours, I woke feeling well and refreshed. Life is so much rosier now that my back isn't killing me.
      Rant: I truly need to get off my rump and clean my room. It's getting completely ridiculous.

      Rant: My bird is driving me up the friggin wall. He seems to *like* his new cage. He goes on all the perches now and explores but for the better part of the day, he gets onto one of the high perches and just squawks his displeasure. But of what? Most of the time I think it's noise. Miley coughing in the next room; someone in the bathroom; the cats romping outside my door. In his little cage, he was tucked under ??? those little compartments that affix to desks and entertainment tables. So, he had a barrier on 2 sides and above him. I think it buffered a lot of the noise and made him feel safer. BUT, I draped a shirt across one side of his cage and he's still not any happier.
      I hope he acclimates soon or I might put his butt back into the tiny cage. I cannot handle him screaming all day and night.

      Anju, I had to Google the Aadhar card to see what you're up against. I always worried about you over there facing such obstacles almost daily, Always wished you could have been here but that is the way of things I guess, We all wish you good luck for the future anyways

      No, I told them to just put everything back. I have food to last another week, and it's a bit of a commute to the grocery store from my house.

      OP, nah lol. My bird screams like that whenever he's startled or angry about something or out of food. Miley coughs: bird screeches for 15 friggin minutes. He quiets down and then the dog barks and the bird is set off again. He's getting on my last ever-loving nerve.


      Rant: my thighs and knees ached all night and kept me from getting enough restful sleep. I would still rather this than the backache. When I'm awake, my thighs and knees don't bother me as much (sitting on my legs helps). That backache was constant. I just have to remember to take Ibuprofen and Tylenol before I go to bed.
      But, I swear, if it's not one ache and pain it's another
      Rant: My bird is miserable again today. While I was out yesterday, I also bought a cardboard project board. I figured I could rig those around the cage to buffer some of the noise.
      Rant: after cleaning my computer files, 7D2D stopped working. I had to delete it and reinstall. Hopefully, that fixes the problem.

      Rave: I just discovered Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and I really like them.
      In fact, I'm going to go eat some now.

      my backache is back. It's not as bad as previously but its here non-the-less Friggin great.
      Rant: I am very hungry but I don't dare eat yet because it's hubby's day off and we usually have lunch together. We already have dinner plans though so I really hope he opts to have yogurt at home instead of going out.

      Rave: I slept great last night. I remembered the pain meds and Fitbit told me I was only restless for a total of 1 hr 46 minutes I still managed to get just over 7 hours proper sleep though. Which is much better than the 5 I have been averaging. Wait, what? I just opened my app and it changed. I was in bed for just over 7 hours but I only got 5hrs 15 minutes worth of sleep I still feel well rested though

      Rant: Tomorrow is going to be a royal PITA. I have to take my daughter-in-law to the city to have her wound looked at. Did I not write about this already?
      She has Hidradenitis and had surgery on Dec. 30. The surgeons PA took the staples and sutures out a week and a half later and he was appalled by what he saw. After a week of packing the wound herself (medical orders) and being in constant pain, she went to her family doctor for antibiotics because the wound smelled foul to her. The family doctor was furious. He referred her to a wound care clinic and a plastic surgeon. She has a 3 inch deep, 3 inch wide gape because she was improperly sutured. She might have permanent nerve damage. They might need to give her a skin graff to help the wound heal.

      Hubby sternly warned her (through me) not to go to that surgeon. She has a bad reputation for screwing up and even killing people. Now Paula's seriously thinking of suing. I told her to hold off on anything like that until she goes to the wound care clinic.
      There's a lot of in-fighting between the docs in this town. Their assessment of how bad off she is might be skewed because of that.

      BUT, that requires me to taxi more and I'll also have to deal with hubby's irritation and ultimatums. He doesn't want me getting roped into taxiing people all over the place (wear and tear on the car is a big reason for that). He also doesn't want me obligated to do things for other people on his days off from work. I've been trying to stress to Paula (DIL) to make appointments for any day other than Thursday or Friday. Tomorrow, however, not only do I have to take her to the city (by 9:30AM ), I have to turn right around and take her to a local appointment at 3PM. Hubby is going to be extremely annoyed. But it was either 3PM tomorrow locally or next week in the city (the doctor rotates between hospitals).
      Gah!

      Zhaylin - I'm ot a bird owner but I suggest you keep tinkering his cage, maybe put a whole bed-sheet over it, maybe throw in a little hideaway for him.

      I don't believe in astrology but I got to say, having a grand trine is nice sometimes. Life is so easy I have to make it more challenging to keep it interesting, and it's still too easy. On the flipside, having a cavalcade of astronomical bodies in my 12th house is kind of a pain in the ass.

      Rave: I have been very busy the last two months, first finishing my projects for finals and, now that I am graduated, getting my portfolio website looking good so I am happy that now I have all of that squared up and can focus more energy on dreaming again. I actually got a potential job lined up that I am really excited about!

      Rant: I stupidly signed a year contract with 24 hour fitness the summer before last because they told me I could freeze it while I am in college no problem (my college has a 1000 times better gym included in my tuition). Well a year went by and I had one extra semester. They told me I had to pay $10 a month just to keep it frozen. It was either that or pay the full 9 months worth left on my contract to cancel... I updated my billing information and left it for a few months. I was going to start going again tonight but checked my account and it says I only payed the first month of fees and that my account is canceled. It won't even let me pay them what I owe and has no record of when or why it is canceled. Now, don't get me wrong, I would be over joyed if they somehow lost my billing information and decided to just cancel my account but I don't want to get a call from a debt collector in a few months saying I owe a ton of money either. I tried calling them but their offices closed at 6:00pm. Yes, a company called 24 hour fitness can't take my call at 6:30pm. If I still had a membership I would be charged tomorrow so I guess I will have to wait and see.

      Thanks OP. I haven't needed the project board after all. He quieted down and seems to be getting used to the noises. Hanging those hand towels is working out great.
      Glad life is going so smoothly.... for now

      Sounds wonderful, MadMonkey... the graduation, portfolio and dreaming anyhow. I'd be ticked about that hidden cost and you better believe I'd turn all drawers upside down looking for my contract with them. Hope everything works out.

      Rave: I took a Vyvanse this morning because I could not sleep last night and we had to be out the door before 8AM. Even though I've been up since 10AM yesterday, I actually have more energy than I've had in recent memory. While I waited on the girls at the clinic I noticed something even more amazing. I like to play a game on my iPad called Cradle of Empires. It's basically a match-3 type of game (but surpasses all others I've ever played). When I normally play, right before bed, the levels are a struggle. Heck, they're a struggle in the middle of the day when I get on while taxing. Today, I breezed through them. Even on the more difficult of the difficult levels I had very little trouble. My beloved Provigil didn't even work this well.

      Rave: The clinic was fairly easy to find and not as far away as I thought. And the appointment was just over an hour long.
      Rant: Paula's not impressed with them though. They take a more holistic (sp) approach and gave her hippie vibes. They gave her honey to put on her wound Not to say there's anything wrong with that. Honey is amazing for wounds. It just wasn't what she was expecting in the least. She got no answers from them. But they still want to see her every week until the wound has healed. She's not going back though which is just fine with me because hubby is hubby and he'd be unbearable otherwise.
      She still has her local 3PM appointment though. Hopefully, they'll be able to tell her more (if they aren't "in bed" with the surgeon that is).

      Rave-ish- my back is okay today. Only a 3-4 on the pain scale. I'm playing a possibly dangerous game with my meds though. I switched back to the Prozac. Their so closely related I doubt anything weird will come of it. My p-doc didn't even wean me off the Celexa before the switch. I'm curios what will come of it all.

      Rant-ish: I saw the dog interested in something under a chair in the bathroom so I investigated. It was a dead crawfish the cats dragged in. I bent at my waist, extended my arm then rotated it so I could grab it to throw it out... and I pulled a muscle in my shoulder. what the friggin heck. I know I'm out of shape, but THAT out of shape

      Can all you bright minds help me with something? I have an image in my head of a person, maybe a tap dancer or magician, twirling in a circle and saying (or implying) "ta dah". I have searched images, gifs, and even YouTube and I can't find anything remotely similar to what I'm thinking. I would like to share the image with someone I "follow" but I've reached a brick wall.

      Have the best of days everyone

      This is the closest thing I could find. haha

      Rave: So I checked my 24 hour fitness account again and there was another unpayed charge for today so I called their offices. They said my account was terminated because my debit card somehow declined and they haven't been able to receive payment since October. If I decide to reinstate my account (not very likely) I would owe the back pay but otherwise I don't owe them anything! Their mistake somehow got me out of my contract I am so relieved!

      I was going to suggest that..Break your account when it's time for them to ding it and they usually get rid of you..

      hehe, thanks so much for trying MadMonkey. It's a fast action though. Kind of like [tap]ba dum bum [twirl once fast and low like you're bowing with arms widespread] "ta dah!" It might have been from a cartoon or kids show that I saw a million yers ago
      Glad to hear you got out of your contract with no lasting problems!

      Anju. My son is having problems with his couch too. But he's had it for some 10 years and lives and sleeps on it. Glad you were able to jerry-rig a solution

      Rant: this weather is just too much. There were Robins spotted by a friend in his yard and a bumblebee just flew in (and right back out lol) our kitchen window. The grass outside is green and growing though currently a bit flooded. There are dried earthworms on the driveway. It's currently over 60 degrees and there's usually 2-3 feet of snow on the ground this time of year.

      The other night I dreamed I got out of bed and my legs were covered in fleas.
      I'm concerned having no real winter weather is going to lead to terrible insects this year.

      That's my only real rant though. I slept meh last night and today. I tossed and turned so much that when I woke up my Fitbit thought I had taken 224 steps (I wear it strapped to my ankle). I woke at one point fearing I slept through my alarm. It said 1:32 and I couldn't figure it out. Then I realized there was an hour 32 minutes BEFORE my alarm was to go off so I went back to sleep until noon.

      Omg, I'm so bored. Like really. I'm not sleepy, I'm at home now so I don't have good PC for games or graphics, I have no friends... I'm not even hungry. WHAT TO DOOO ;_;

      Read a book or some fan fiction on-line. Li. I often fight that feeling myself lol. I'm too lazy/unmotivated to learn things or clean or exercise so all I do is game

      My rant is that I'm going through another dry spell with dreaming. I recall snippets: getting lost in a large building; looking for food (); pooping in a rather public place but trying to hide the fact ; a nursing cat with an extra long nipple from a puppy she adopted I don't remember stories though and I miss them. Even a paragraph would be better than half a sentence.

      Rant: My dog is being weird again. She has to go potty but she refuses to go outside because *gasp* the ground is wet. I have to use a stern voice to get her off the porch, then walk behind her to the yard and use a stern voice so she doesn't go to the driveway.

      Rant: I'm still coughing up green phlegm for 1-2 hours after I wake up. This has been on-going for over a month. I googled it though and it's likely just allergies or my reflux. It's annoying more than anything.

      Rant: I want to eat some cereal but I forgot to buy more bowls. I thought for sure that I had one left. But nope. Can't find it anywhere (I use disposable bowls but they last a long time because I don't eat real food often). I guess it'll be GMO rice pudding again.

      Rave: I go shopping tonight

      I am highly annoyed that a website I've used for years, to stream tv shows, has become completely unusable. I don't dare use it, at all, on my PC. Even though I have ad blocker and AVG, the phishing schemes and virus alerts still break through. I've used it on my iPad but then I get annoying popups and virus alerts and have to hard reboot my device.
      I guess I should expect that from pirated stuff but I hate it anyhow. I buy cable and Amazon Prime and will probably renew Hulu. I can't always watch my shows on the last two and I don't have a TV or a long enough cable cord for my room
      I'm going to talk to my hubby about getting another converter for my PC... but there's still the problem of the cord. BAH!

      Other than that, life is nice and quiet today. I had to taxi some, but it wasn't bad.
      I hope everyone's had a good day.

      I know what you mean, I have been using Yahoo since the internet went public and it is now so ad-poisoned it's unusable and for TV I only have the internet also. I was using a video card to send movies from Amazon, Hulu and Youtube to my TV then Someone gave me their old Roku and then I bought a new one, Cheap! If i'ts not on Youtube it's probably not on the internet! Heres where the good part comes in, Get a cheap TV and Roku..They work without the computer being on so no worry about virus and popups or if you already have one box you already know..

      May I recommend ad block as Zhaylin mentioned? If you use google chrome, you can get the extension very easily. I'm not too sure about other web browsers.


      Rave: As a stereotypical financially unstable university student, my fortnightly pay from the government just came through.
      Time to fill up my car with some petrol!

      Ad blocker only stops some ad's. It does not stop the long running scripts in the page content that run video graphics and render the page inoperative..

      Down there in that nice warm place and leaving me to freeze

      Thanks for the suggestion, Wobly. I'll look in to that

      And yeah, a lot of sites are getting smarter about their ads. I don't know how they break through, but on the site I used to love the ad blocker is useless

      Rant: Mr. Monthly dropped by today. I'm cramping some and my back hurts (as is typical).

      Rave: I got a lot of my room cleaned last night.
      Rant: I still have a long way to go before it's actually finished though

      Other than that, life is still nice and quiet. Hubby's sending me out for food and I have to go to the store tonight, but other than that, nothing's been going on.
      Which is just the way I like it

      Rant: We were supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow today. Now it's down to less an inch
      I actually had my AC running yesterday because temps were in the 60's
