Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

Trip postponed (again) my credit card just got hacked... Shit!

hacked? So sorry to hear that!! I hope you're able to resolve that quickly!

Rant: I am sick. I laid down and fell asleep before midnight. I woke up because I was extremely dizzy. I sat up, my eyes wouldn't focus which made the dizziness worse. Then the puking began. Great. Thought maybe I was overheated, so I maxed my AC. Temp is normal- no fever. Puked some more. Debated on whether or not I should take Zofran (anti-nausea med). I mean, what if I have food poisoning and *should* be puking lol

I over-think things way too much sometimes the only thing I ate today was Burger King- a large fries and half of a big bacon cheeseburger. That was at around 2PM. Then I had half of one of my milks before sleeping.
Chances are, I took too many Meds without enough food in me. My allergies have also been flaring so something could be going on with my ears. I also had one of the worst headaches I've ever had all day today, so perhaps this is residual from that.

Now I'm reclining in bed. Any time I close my eyes or lay down I feel like I'm drunk and the room spins.
My BP was 142/94 after puking. I waited a few minutes, checked it again and it was back down to an acceptable 132/84. Friggin great. What the heck? So Zofran won out and I'm hoping it kicks in soon so I can get some shut eye.

**EDIT**
Just noticed the double post.

I'm feeling much better, but not completely.
I was complaining to hubby during lunch about my weird eye movement thing. He thought I had double vision. No, I told him, it's more like I'm in REM sleep and my eyeballs are quickly going from side to side and can't focus on anything. Then, I told him that perhaps it only seems that way because of the vertigo. He told me that vertigo CAUSES the eyes to dart back and forth.
Huh. Learn something new every day.
But what the heck? I guess it could be allergy related. Everyone in the house is sick and during the drive the other day my voice sounded echo-y in my head.

Anyhow, I'm no longer barfing or spinning... but I'm also not lying down. Egad, it is SO much worse when I lay down.
I'm very off-balanced though. I can already tell I'm going to have another rough night.
Lovely.

I'm supposed to be enjoying my new found freedom from taxiing

Rave: when the world stops feeling so loopy, I'm going to try my hand at paracord knots/crafts. I've been looking up some guides and patterns.
Rave: I saw a canvas "tackle" bag at Walmart for $10. and thought it would make a perfect fanny pack. It's wonderful. I just need to make proper straps for it.

Rant: I have to go to the store tonight I need more milk and cereal and I'm going to see if they have any diuretics. Perhaps those could help dry up this fluid (?) in my ears and belly.

Hope everyone is well

Last time I felt like that the doctor said I was fulla shit ^..^

Anyways, They got the neat 1000 dollars back in my account but I still have to wait for a new card before I can rent a car to go on a trip..Personally I would rather go in winter with clear roads because of the construction season.I have to drive thru Cleveland and Toledo and there are bridges torn apart in both cities..

Hmmm... the double post glitch is back. I thought mine happened because I posted while half asleep.

Rofl, Wobly. You're too funny. I know that's not my problem after those industrial strength softeners
I am so, so glad you got your money back (and so quickly too!). And, yeah, I friggin hate driving through construction zones. It seems there's always road work going on here I guess we should be thankful for it all. Bridge work is the worst.

Rave: I actually slept last night. Well, I tossed and turned more than I actually slept, lol, BUT there was no more vertigo I went to bed prepared though. I took a Zofran and a Benadryl with 14 oz of milk before bedtime.

Curiosity: I asked the pharmacist about water pills and he said what's offered OTC is mostly caffeine based. Which set off bells in my head. This bloating has been worse for about 3 months... which is when I stopped being nocturnal; which is also when I stopped taking 1-3 caffeine pills every day. I very rarely take caffeine now.

Rant: Paula's mad at me. She wants me to keep taxiing. After all the work that was just done on her car, it still won't go over 40mph up hill and overheats. So sorry but I'm DONE. They promised they'd have a car after a month. I promised hubby that it wouldn't be longer than that. It's been THREE months. I'm done. I told her to drive slowly through the back roads.

Rave: I checked the pounds FB and Simon is in "medical foster care". I am thrilled that he made it out too and that's he's getting care. He was, honestly, one of my favorite cats ever. He has the best personality.

Rant: I'm awake because I forgot to discontinue the alarm on my phone. I have to pee. If I get out of bed, I'll run into the girls before they leave and have to listen to whining. I'll also get 20 fleas on my legs. I usually wake up, go to the restroom then head outside and laugh as all the fleas fall off my legs when I DEET them. I really want to go back to sleep though lol. My bladder is, seriously, about to burst though. So, I guess I'm awake

Rant: I have a canker sore so, my month is sore right now. I also have poison ivy on my arms.

OUCH! You have me deepest sympathies about that canker sore. I remember just what a pain those buggers are.
Hope you get over the poison ivy quickly. I'm immune so I've never had that problem before, but my kids have so I know how miserable it was for them.
Get better soon

What makes matters worse, I have my time of the month too and that makes it even more annoying.

Ugh! Stay strong, DreamVixen.

Rave: It's 60 degrees today. I actually turned my space heater on for a bit

Rave: Our favorite restaurant is serving Barramundi with sweet corn. I pick it up at 4:15. My toes will rebel later but I'll live. I love fish more than I hate a bit of pain Especially THAT fish. It's almost as good as Saba.

Rant: DV is formatting very strangely (large white space to the right of the screen).
Rant: The girls didn't make it to work today. Their vehicle refused to climb. I'm back on taxi duty That, or they're going to try to stay with a friend until payday (the 10th) and carpool with her.

Rave: I figured out the cobra knot. Now I just need a lacing needle and I'll be able to churn out all sorts of goodies https://homesteading.com/paracord-projects/

I hope everyone is staying safe and dry. 6 counties in my State have called a State of Emergency because of flooding. We're okay for now though (on top of the mountain).

Rant: My car got rear-ended recently. Pretty brutal. I love my car to death, even though it's covered by insurance it still hurts to see my pride and joy all smashed in. It's also a huge inconvenience. It took about a week for my insurance claim to be approved, and it's not going in for repairs until the 8th of August. A rather lengthy process for something I wasn't at fault for. Ah well, these things happen I guess.

I've also been having incredibly vivid dreams lately. When you stop smoking weed, your dreams become much more vivid. (Something to do with marijuana suppressing some sort of neuro-chemical that is associated with dreaming). Some of them have been good dreams, others have been really morbid. It's interesting to have dreams anyway, nevertheless.

Hope you're all doing well!
P.S, has anyone seen wobblybill around recently?

The poison ivy is driving me up the wall.

Ouchie! Wet a few tea bags and put them on the worst spots and wrap them onto yourself with some sports wrap or just some fabric. That will help draw out the itchies.

I saw me around just this morning
Pot curbs my dreams also, I use it very seldom for sleeping but it is a dream robber...

Thank you! Tea mummified? I was invited to a pool party but, I couldn't go to it because I didn't exactly feel like explaining to people at the party about the rash.

Yuppie, what a PITA. Hope you get everything settled with your car quickly and with fewer headaches!
I've not been remembering my dreams (other than snippets) for the last few months. I hate that. I always feel... ?... sort of hollow and incomplete. I started paying attention to and remembering my dreams since I was 3-5 years old.
Maybe it's because I changed my sleep pattern... or because I started taking Cymbalta. No pot here, lol. I do take Vitamin B AND Benadryl every day and both are supposed to help you dream. Not me

Poison Ivy is still hanging around, DreamVixen Get better soon!

Okay... put your palms on your thighs, lock your elbows then lean forward with the crook of the elbow facing your knees. That's how I pop my elbows. Or, rather, my right one. That's the only one that ever needs to be popped. Only, when I did that the other day, it wouldn't pop and instead, I pulled the muscle on the outside of the elbow It's swollen and sore and STILL feels like I need to pop it. And, idiot that I am, I still try to... which only irritates the pulled muscle. Bah!
I can still use the arm and it doesn't hurt or anything unless I hyperextend it, so it's just a minor rant.

Rant: I tried taking the dogs for a walk yesterday. The cats decided to follow So, we didn't make it far before I had to turn around and go home. We walk along a major road (parallels the interstate) and I didn't want the fur balls getting squished. I'm going to try walking again tonight, but I'll make sure to top off the cats food this time.

Rant: I am exceptionally sleepy today even though I broke down and took a caffeine pill.

Rant: My brain is broken. You know that feeling you have when you're trying to remember what you were going to say to someone, or you're trying to remember the words to a song or a phone number. It's like the info is at the tip of your tongue but you can't quite access it? I've been having that feeling all the time but I have no topic to help me. I'm trying to "think about thinking". It's a nonstop sort of feeling with no substance.

Rave: I've avoided taxi service Paula called yesterday wanting me to bring her tampons. Seriously? I'm going to drive 30 minutes to give you something you can pick up at a store that's right around the corner from you? Um, no. I didn't have enough gas anyhow, so I got out of that chore.

Blah.. time to either take another caffeine pill or take a nap....

Rant: I cannot take my caffeine pills anymore. Even with food on my stomach, they make me barf What the friggin heck? But that makes me question my duodenitis even more so. I need another upper GI. When I was diagnosed it was 1997 Who knows what's changed since then.

Rant-ish: I'm back on taxi duty I actually don't mind THAT much. It gets me out of bed and I'm able to fill my 64 ounce Coke cup earlier in the day (which means I waste less).

Rant: Hubby and I had swordfish yesterday. It came with black beans over rice (meh) and weird potato rounds cooked in pineapple with some sort of spicy pepper (wonderful but greasy). I had thrown up a few hours previously (the caffeine) and ate some doritos to calm my stomach. I was full and still sickish when we got dinner. I only took a couple bites of the fish I also rushed off before hubby finished eating because I felt so ill (we eat together at his house). I missed out on an amazing (and expensive) meal.

Rant: I missed a Dr's appointment yesterday. And I can't find the paperwork and appointment card for the 7th. I don't know if it's for the CT or colonoscopy (which I will cancel ). I need the CT and upper GI before I go the other route.

Rants: My Fitbit band is breaking me out; it only sometimes reads my sleep specifics.... I get very little "Deep" sleep and still rarely recall any dreams....... my elbow is still sore and swollen and still wont pop

Rave: My SP 7D2D game switched to MP when I tried creating a new game with the same file name. I can have people join me now if I ever get over being so anti-social. The game is going great and the house is my best so far.

Rave: The puppy is sleeping in my room right now. It's 85 degrees but my room is a cooler 70-75-ish. He never stays in my room, so this is a nice change

Hope everyone is well.

Rave: My nephew met Adam Sandler, early this evening at Friendly's. They did take selfie and everything. I remember that he told me that he wanted to meet him at Christmas time. We watched that movie, "Little Nickey" together that day.
My rash is going away.
Rant: It's raining and foggy. edited. I have a cracked tooth. Ouch..

So cool for your Nephew!!
The poison ivy rash? Yikes! Glad that's finally going away and giving you some peace!

Rant-ish: I had my appointment yesterday. I went in and told them I wasn't exactly sure what the appointment was for: a CT, a colonoscopy or a consult for one of those things It was a consult for a colonoscopy.
I didn't see a Dr, but the PA I spoke to was amazing. She let me ramble, took a lot of notes, asked a lot of great questions. I told her I'm very opposed to the procedure so we're going to try some life-style changes first: Fiber supplement, Miralax, reduction of caffeine, water, water, water, water
They also recommend an endoscopy for my Duodenitis even if I don't have the colonoscopy.

I'm leaning toward having both procedures. Bowel perforations occur more often when General Surgeons perform them (she told me) because they're stuck in the old ways. Previously, Dr's would insert 2 scopes (I assume both the Endo. and Colon.) because they fill you with air for the procedure... but having 2 scopes is way too much air being forced into the bowel which lead to the perforations.
When they do the scopes though, they take samples (biopsies?) and run extensive studies on them for allergies and everything. That entices me.

Rant: I was cleaning my large e-cig tank yesterday and I somehow managed to break it Thankfully, my small tank still works. If I find more energy today, I'm going to stop by the Vape shop and see if they know what's wrong it.

Rave: I've been remembering my dreams a little more... and I slept fairly well last night from 12:30-7:30AM. I had been breaking my sleep into 3-4 hour sessions for the previous few days. It was very nice to get some uninterrupted Zzz's.

Rave: I've reached season 13 of Grey's Anatomy. I really like the show, but Gah!- I just want to strangle the characters sometimes

Have a great day everyone

Diving across parts of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York today thru the usual construction delays I realized how smart the New York DOT is!
If they don't make any highway repairs they won't have any delays!
When the interstate goes to shit you know you're back in N.Y.

Ask the PA to let you pet the Gerbil's ^..^

So lovely to have to something that you need to do and you have a cracked tooth, no sleep. I apologize in advance if I snap at anyone here. I feel like shit

Ew, Wobly... just ewww (unless I just have a really dirty mind and you mean something entirely different lol)
Be safe on your drives. Finally taking or took that fishing trip?

DreamVixen. If it's not one thing, it's another eh? Get that tooth fixed and I hope you feel better soon.

Rant: I took my tank to the vape shop. My firing pin eroded (corroded?) and I have to get a new one I was going to borrow some money from my kids until I remembered that my daughter is giving me $50.........

Rave-ish: She gave me $50. to trade phones. I had a larger ZTE with a fingerprint scanner and such. She had some Samsung variety. We thought we could just swap out cards and be done with it. I was okay with that idea because I wanted to try hers out before jumping on the deal. Well.... we had to go to Boost and jump through a bunch of hoops in order to swap phones. I lamented we were stuck with the swap whether I liked her phone or not. But THEN I realized she has a card with extra memory. I downloaded the entire current Jehovah's Witness songs, some other songs, the Bible, several books and I still have plenty of space I was standing for so long at Boost though that my bum knee swelled and bothered me for the rest of the day.

Rant-ish: I leave in 40 minutes for a PAP. Blah. It'll be nice to get it out of the way though.... and after that I have to take the kids shopping :/

Rant: My elbow is still sore and swollen, but it has FINALLY popped a few times.

Rave: I'm still extra bloated BUT, the pressure isn't as intense. The PA recommended I take one dose of the Miralax then wait a couple days before the next one because it can take 3 days to catch up to you. I've been extra gassy but I guess that's a good thing rofl.

Rant: My boobs are extra sore and a couple sizes larger (it seems). That's been going on for the last couple days but was worse yesterday. What the heck? Mr. Monthly is a couple weeks away, so that's probably the reason but it's still uber weird and annoying.

Blah... gotta hop in the shower then get ready to leave.

, everyone.

I wish my sister was like me a bit more she is that type of person who is like "everyone else's parents" or "everyone else's parents" and we always fight like if I say what is it? she is like "SHUT UP (my name) I just she would stop trying to be like everyone else I wish she was unique like me even if it is a bit. Also I can't tell anyone in my family and have to hide that I like LDing cause if I did they would laugh at me or say I'm in some weird religion even though LDing Isn't a religion and is scientifically proven I know that they would laugh at me cause my brother laughed at me just for looking SP. It is nice to finally vent to people who understand me.
