Another night and sleep eludes me...

This isn't funny. I can't sleep. The Universe just has to do this to me, the night where all I want to do is sleep, so I don't go BACK to sleep after I take the girl to school at 6am, so I can go get my nails done, take her for a second interview at a job she really wants and grind my way through the market..

Of course, I have plans, cause I'm thinking after the market, I can take a nap and go play pool with new dude... OF COURSE that isn't going to happen, cause I won't sleep, then I'll sleep all day, except for the part where I take the girl to the interview and the 6am drive to school because she's too lazy to walk (oh she's walking to work, if she gets this job)

Instead of sleep, I have to read the blogs that make me laugh, cause on paper (or internet as it would be, I'm not too funny, I'm too serious, too esoteric, for some odd reason I'm even serious about the computer game I'm addicted to, Mobsters on myspace..shut up, sometimes I need to just whack someone...but hey I am funny in person! Which doesn't help me here) So, where was I? Oh yea.. Laughter is a good thing....I love to laugh.. I NEED to laugh what with everything that's been going on in my life this past year..

Now, though, tonight, I find myself thinking of throwing this damned computer out. It has grown a mind of it's own... I tried 3 or 4 times to leave someone a comment and it wouldn't let me (till I cursed it and threatened to put it outside with the wild Siberian husky of mine that's digging holes in the ground trying to escape to China)... and now?? It keeps pulling all this crap on me AGAIN, going to insert picture without me asking it and it's even gone as far as PUBLISHING THIS POST 2 TIMES BEFORE I WAS DONE WITH IT!!!!!

See?? It's somehow grown a brain of it's own, deciding what I can and can't do (it just published it again, for a 3rd time). Problem is, I type 100+ wpm and so I can't always catch what is happening, cause I don't look at the keyboard when I type or the screen, I'm off looking somewhere else (who knows, my eyes just wander all over the place as I type) and now I have to watch the screen cause it's doing what it wants when it wants and it's pissing me off!

Ok, just had to get that off my chest, off to try and get some shut eye.

Peace.

OMeffingGOD

I HATE my doctor, even though he put me back on the percacets since the lorotabs don't even touch the pain I am in by the end of the day...

Today he came in the little room I was in, waiting for the neck procedure and told me that he couldn't put me out because I move around too much??? WTF??? I MOVE AROUND TO MUCH WHEN I AM KNOCKED OUT WITH ANESTHESIA!!!!! wow.

I was awake for almost the whole thing last time, I REMEMBER IT HURT. Maybe that is why I moved around, it hurt, I was awake... and thus it was again...

Awake and this time crying cause it hurt so much. I come home and fall into bed and lay moaning and crying. I HATE THIS PROCEDURE. I wouldn't do it if I didn't have to, but it's suppose to help, so far it's only causing me more pain. One more time and then I'm done at least for another 6 months. I'm going to talk to him about other options as well.. like physical therapy??

I called new dude before going in for the procedure and he told me to call him when I got home.. all I could do was text him.. "I'm home" then he replies with "she's alive" which made me laugh, than a follow up call to me while I lay moaning and all he can do is laugh... jerk.

Last night 2 hours of texting back and forth during American Idol, something I rarely watch, though I tape it for some reason.. new dude was like a girl, with his comments back and forth to me during AI... had me laughing pretty hard actually.

Tomorrow, if I feel up to it, going to have my nails done, something I haven't done in a while and a pedicure. And I must get to the market, as there is no food in the house! And new dude said something about going out tomorrow night and playing some pool... Not sure if I'll be up to it, but it's really becoming nice having a friend to go out with, no pressure and he watches out for me, It's nice to be comfortable around someone that I can pretty much let loose and not worry about being judged... plus the first time we went out, we both agreed that they weren't dates, however if we go somewhere with each other, we don't flirt with others and we leave there together. I've found it rare to find a male or female friend that I can do with that, knowing I am protected (which I don't really need as I can pretty much hold my own) knowing that I won't be stabbed in the back, knowing I can be myself.. all of it is really nice... I hope that even if he finds a girlfriend or by some odd turn of events, I find a boyfriend, we can still remain friends like this.

Who knows.. oh the texting has begun and I just can't multitask tonight.

Peace.

Quick update...

Several people have asked me how I am and I've been remiss in responding. So, a few things going on here and there...

Had my band tightened today, have lost 70 pounds since Sept. Hope to get more motivated and begin exercising again soon, to lose more. Thinking (note, word is "thinking") about quitting smoking once I've lost 100 pounds.

New dude and I are going along happily oblivious to the fact that we have so much in common, yet haven't (and I have no plans on it) taken this to a higher level. Frankly, I don't want to ruin the friendship that we have, so I'm content with the way things are right now. Called me today to tell me how sick he was as he's hacking away, I had to ask him if he was raised by a Yiddish mother or grandmother, because he was reminding me of a spoiled little Jewish girl, to which he choked on his laughter. (Hey, I know, I grew up with a Yiddish great grandmother and a spoiled Jewish little sister!) So, it remains as it is. I did have to ask Glen though if he thought the reason men don't want to pursue a more than friendship relationship with me, was it because I am so independent? He said that probably that and the fact that I'm intelligent, not whining clingy needy...and that I'm pretty confident in my boundaries and who I let into my life most times. But I have a hard time understanding the part about not being clingy, whining and needy.. I always thought (and still do) that clingy whining needy was a turn off for men. I guess, I'm just so use to doing things on my own (or calling Glen to help) that it doesn't occur to me to be more "dependent" on the men in my life aside from Glen, who is my only friend with benefits.. oh wait, well, if Matt was in town I'd be doing him too (he's super yummy and we have a good time together, no matter what we do, even if it's just talking on the phone). Oy vey! Now I sound like some loose kinda woman! But, hey, if I can't sleep with my friends, who can I sleep with?

Dad had more surgery yesterday. 5 hours long. They replaced his pacemaker and the lead wires and he came out of it with flying colors! He was up and around a few hours after the surgery. I'm so in awe of him and the strength he has exhibited these last few months. They are talking about possibly letting him leave the hospital on Sunday (though he will have to remain in Phx/Scottsdale, for a while - his goal is to come back to Vegas by June 1st). He is doing so good and I am looking forward to his return home so that I can be of more help, see him more and so the kids are able to spend more time with him too. He's going to be pissed off though once he returns.... the two markets near his house have closed down and the pharmacy that we all go to closed it's doors today for the last time. Though all prescriptions have been transferred to Walgreens, which is right by the house too... there are no markets right around the corner from his place... other than the Super Walmart across the street from my house. I only live about 1/2 a mile or so from Dad, so he'll probably start going there. It's all just been so convenient for him for so long, now it won't be!

Tomorrow, I'll be out of commission again. More shots to the neck and I've also got a problem underneath my arms, a pinched nerve or something on both sides, if I lift them up, it hurts pretty bad.. it's been like that since the neck stuff last week. Must remember to tell the doctor tomorrow about this new thing. I wish my body felt more like I was in my 20's than like I'm in my 80's! Shoot, I'd probably settle to feel like I was in my 40's like I am... but must it feel like I'm 80+??

Still have the giveaway going on over at Monday Giveaway it's open till Saturday. Planning on sending out previous winners stuff on Monday, but best laid plans and all that... hopefully I can stick to my plans. Friday, if I'm feeling up to it, going to pick up New dude and go to the market... if he doesn't "die" before than! (his words, not mine!)

So, in a nutshell that is what has/is been going on in my world the last week or so..

What's going on in yours? Do share!

Peace.
