Stopping smoking for good

Going to the gym

Nothing at the moment. I'm having the opposite problem. I've bought an apartment in another town and I have so much to do, doing it all by myself, and being a Beeper, once I get started on any of the many many tasks I have I get on a roll and find it difficult to stop, my mood elevates and I can't sleep - but I do actually have deadline dates so things DO need to get done. Every few days I have a mini-breakdown and have to stop. Then I progressively fall into surrender that I need the mental and physical break, sleep in, do little and recoup my energies. So I am trying my best to keep that balance.

I do have longer term procrastination issues like losing weight, but that is definitely on the back burner right now.

I saw Eat Pray Love today (Sunday) and I won't give anything away but to say that it hit me right between the eyes - literally, I was howling in the theatre at times when no-one else would ahve been crying. But I let it all out and when I got home I had a further HUGE cry. It was just so timely in my life - magic. I can't cry due to my meds - except when I see a movie that affects me like that - a very productive - non- moving house day!! lol

Sleep. I seem to have misplaced it, or how you do it. I know it is the prednisone, but I took 5 different pills tonight, including Zyprexa, and I just did a complete work out downstairs, pain and all.

Uhmmm Anglea, what does work downstairs mean? lol

Everything

Work out - as in pumping iron, and stretches. I told myself not to do it, after coming home late with an intervention with my poor old frail dad who was not getting attention in the ER. He hurt his back, and had been there over 30 hours. I got my sister, THE LAWYER to phone and talk to the ER doc. Then we said we were leaving and we would not take his placebo Tylenol #3 the idiot prescribed. We promptly pushed out the wheel chair.

By the time we got to the hospital door, there was an orthopedic resident, and a nurse, trying to do an assessment and give drugs. It was pretty obvious I knew more than she did, since orthopedics don't use those drugs. She also gave us a stupid stomach med, which I had just looked up in the CPS, and found it to be a bad drug.

So the only good thing, is I whined about my RA which was flaring I put on my best controlled bipolar irritation and told them we were going to leave and hold them responsible for their incompetence.

It felt good to win, I confess. Just felt sorry for my broken, ill father, and my uncle, who was in a another part of the ER. Both had fallen and couldn't walk.

So I tried sleep - 5 different sleeping pills- all prescribed, and I am flying high on prednisone, I know. I got some leg cramps and went to stretch them, and the next thing you know - I've done a work out, and my flares are gone.I am going to do some digging on anti-virals and reduction of RA flares, as long as I am on-line. I listened to soft soothing music, all the tricks.

I'm thinking rest tomorrow?

So, any one else having trouble sleeping on this side of the world?

Uhmm yeah thats what I thought you meant :P

Hope your Dad feels better soon

I appreciate the kind thoughts. My dad is 82, and fading fast. He was a giant pro football player, then university professor, and now just a sad little confused man, with a wife who is self absorbed. She wouldn't even come to the hospital, because SHE was under stress, because my dad interrupted his routine being sick.

They are going to move into a retirement home with full time staff care. That is the end of this game for them. Sigh. I wish I was well enough to take care of them.

And there appears to be a connection in the medical literal of anti-virals to RA. Trust me to find it. Well, I'm off to go rest. Nice talking to you boxrep, I haven't see you in a while.

pretty much everything atm..main one is calling the importers to arranage delivery of our things from abroad... have a terrible phobia of the phone and am totally pessimistic that something is going to go wrong!

Cleaning, losing weight, getting my car inspected, paying my bills, doing the dishes, quitting smoking, you name it...I'm procrastinating.

cleaning up my basement and painting some stuff....why? I'm just lazy and never use that room.

Yesterday I sorted my winter clothes from my summer clothes though and had been putting that off so I did do something on my list.
