Good evening, my favorite people....

Well...it's been a day. I've gone from miserable pain this morning to relief, but dizzy and a little nausous tonight. I'll take the latter if it involves a little less pain. I can tell that I did a little too much as soon as my patch started working. My doc increased it again...trying the 75 mcg. dose to see if I can handle it this time around. I was desperate and ready to take that overdrugged feeling for some relief.

I finished work at 5:15 and had told my Mom I'd go to Dollar General with them. I should have skipped it! What a nasty old bag my Mother was. I understand that she's still tired from my Brother's visit, but honestly, do we all have to suffer because she's a little tuckered out? (one of her sayings) She even had a nap today!

Poor Dad. He couldn't do anything right, either. I won't go into the details...too stupid to even share. But I will say, she got me so tense that my neck has started to hurt again and I just feel stressed when I really didn't need to.

Grrrrrrr...my Sister and I are left to deal with three quickly declining old people. They're all healthy, but the marbles are scattering quickly. The third one is our Aunt who has no children so that leaves her on our shoulders, too. We have some difficult times upon us and it's getting worse by the day.

I really need to be in better shape so my poor Sister doesn't get the brunt of it.

Sorry for the doom and gloom. I didn't start off intending to do that.

Hugs and clucks...and the sweetest of dreams. You're all very dear to me.
