half n half......

journal so named cause i'm half up and half down.....


got jammie pants on with a street tee shirt.  slippers and a blue sweater cause my body does not know it is warm out exactly.  just took a med for flu/cough cold for folks with HBP.  sinuses swollen on right side of face.....the very definition of unfun.


...tidied the bed sheets....annie & rio are playing in the closet.  they like to bat and give chase in this confined space that holds a lot of lady footwear.  hiding in the darkened corners must be great sport based on how much they both participate.  already my right arm is tired of typing.


i've sneezed about a dozen times since i woke around ......well i'm not sure, earlier this morning....had a funny breakfast.  pasta with meat sauce, celery and melon.  fresh trash bag in the thingy......not up to walking down the hill yet.  (to take trash to curb)


i wanted to say if my lower intestines continue to kink up and twist me into submission that i will get medical treatment.  i am going for a general physical & bloodwork on tuesday sept 20th.  so i can mention it then, he will remind me to get a colonoscopy and i will or won't forget to do that.  i am too forgetful at times.  and even more so if it's something i don't wanna do.  call me old baby.....cause that's how i'm acting.


...had to sit still for a bit, rest my right arm.  it aches in the elbow and all the way down into the forearm.....complaining makes it more noticeable.  so let's NOT talk about that anymore. 


all clean and shiny.....put a product in my hair that makes the curls shine and curl more.  think i might've put in too much.  ooooopsie daisy.


cotton twirling in the dryer.  i like the dryer sound......when it's not making that psycho noise.  heavy things like bathroom rugs make it screechy squeak. ......see how i prattle.  prattle jane prattle. has mindless prattle become the core of my daily function?  a replacement for purpose?


not everyday can be profound. some days we just do stuff that makes life work in a quiety inconsequential way........we don't have to live every day like it's our last....or feel that we have failed if we don't meet our head goals.  those things that spin in our brain drying cycle that try to tell us anything from you're a failure to you're a drip.  don't listen to that debbie downer negative nancy vibes that threatens the peace or contentment within your heart, head, nest.  be kind to yourself.


there are so many things i could should and won't do today.  if i do go out an oil change is up there on my list.  also need to get them to refill the windshield wiper fluid....you know regular maintenance.  i ask the guys to turn off the thing that says check tires......but they NEVER do.  they always promise and prompty forget.  so that light has been on for probably over a year now.  the manual does not say how to turn it off.  sorry random prattle is all i can seemingly do lately.


publisher's clearing house has sent me another big mail packet of junk to look through.......pretending that i might be the next lucky winner.  but i never win anything......and rarely enter contests.  one of my magazines has a monthly prize offering of $5 grand if they pick you based on your comments about their most current issue.  guess they find this cheaper than focus groups these days......the internet is killing magazines slowly. 


i doubt that i will continue on with most of my magazines anymore, the print is too tiny, or they use colors with fonts that are hard for me to read.  they have fewer and fewer articles.....they focus on certain diseasesa and leave out so many of the rest of well......us.  is our disease officially considered an "orphan disease?"


wow, my head is .......wonky.  slept all evening, up for about an hour or so and then slept through the night.  then there are the days when i can't sleep.  when i pray for sleep......to pass the hours.  to be unaware of the stuff inside my head or the undone wishes of the things i want to do.


sorry for being all about nothing.  half in this day and half out......quietly reporting live from southern georgia.  time 10:03 am, temp 71 degrees.


b-y-e....see ya later honeydew.........xoxoxo

Oh, my wonky friend, I'm feeling a bit wonky myself. I'm sorry about your sinuses. That is crappy. Hold tight, dear girl. Love you.

Sorry to hear you are still feeling under the weather. My fibro is kicking butt. I too get those pains in the lower right side. Lately all through the night. Had them yrs ago but they never found anything. Rest up sweet wonky bird. Your days of getting out are near. Take baby steps & keep moving. I'm in pain as I type. Grrrrr. Full moon tonight...maybe that's why we feel so crappy. My tire warning light keeps going on saying my tire pressure is low. It always happens when we have a drop in the temps. No change in temps this time. Leaving now to get my hair done. I don't feel up to doing it this week. Treat myself. Hope you feel up to doing something special for you. You deserve a world of joy. Love ya sweetie. Prayers & bunches of hugs. I wrote a new journal. :)

Hello Sparrow! I'm only half here myself. Was under sedation for a colonoscopy this morning and my brain is still off track! I think it was wonderful to come early here and read about your shiny curls, though!

Very odd brekky! You might have some kinda weird dreams Tonight! LOL!

I don't do magazines! Same reason. Print is too small and stresses my eyes, thus causing a headache! I have trouble watching TV as well! Our orphan disease causes lots of trouble for us poor souls, doesn't It?

Hope ya feel better tomorrow! : )

Ruthie, I am so sorry you are feeling so unwell but it is great you have an appt coming up on Tuesday. Get everything checked out. I am having one of those days when I can not get it together either, I just want to sit on the couch & veg or go to sleep, I think sleep will win out soon. I know what you mean about magazines, I used to read a lot of them but now I find I have no interest in them, maybe because it is about stuff I can't do anymore. Hugs, Denise

Pasta for breakfast . What?? I just ate spiral spelt pasta with vegies and coconut cream. For dinner though. I scoffed it all. Totally yummy. My private chef ...Francois made it. Well I thought I would make Frank French for a change. I couldn't get up to cook. too stuffed. I probably would have made porridge for dinner.One minute oats. So yeah breakfast for dinner. So I guess your dinner for breakfast is not so strange now that I think about it. I feel really sick in my stomach now that I have eaten.Everything except fruit is making me sick at the moment. I think I will have to have another endoscopy again soon. My gallbladder surgeon damaged my pyloric valve. He got paid and I'm left with a, permanent problem. Grrr !! And again Grrrr !! The $5 prize reward is so stingy. Can't believe that. Seriously it's an insult. $5 geez. I must say though that you have some snazzy hair products. Guess you do need curly hair in the first place though. Mine is dead straight so no product is going to give me CURLS !. I like curls. I used to use hair curlers many moons back. J can't even use a haid dryer now bevause it makes me all hot and dizzy and faint.Especially when I turn my head down to get some volume.I nearly fall over. OK. I'm going. I wish I could just pop some super charged batteries in my tired out body. My daughter just gave me a B12 shot. I keep trying but sometimes I feel like dying.That was my talented poetry .ha ha. Bye.Definitely going now. Unfortunately I'll BE BACK lol!!
