OMG, Kill Me Now!!!

My husband has gifted me with a stomach virus. Sorry about last month, but I have just felt lackluster of late, no doubt due to the oncoming doom of this plague.

When you have a hard time not gagging taking aspirin, you are in for a hard time of it. I am on liquids now, and let's just say though it is a great weight loss stimulator, it has not stopped me from having to go number two. You would think that would be a benefit of having to be on a liquid or mild diet. I assure you, this is not true. The liquid just exits from a different place.

Not a pretty picture, sorry, but I need someone suffering along with me. I probably feel week, AS I HAVE NOT EATEN ANYTHING OF SUBSTANCE FOR FOUR FING DAYS NOW!!! Combine that with the fact that I am a little frightened of eating or drinking anything at the moment.

Also has been bar none the busiest week of the year for business. Me, Jack, and Bri were supposed to go to a show this morning, but I just couldn't figure how to drive and not be near a restroom for a few hours. That wouldn't have been good.

Any how, sorry for the lack in blogging.

Saturday Cinema-Caution, Lust

I couldn't sleep the other night, and wanted something a little out of my normal realm. Actually, as a teenager and young adult, I liked these Greta Garbo romatic/tragic kind of movies. As I got older, I began to think films like "Gone with the Wind" or "Camille" were so silly, as they could have had happy endings, but the characters were always making bad choices (and these were normally the women of the story, of course).

Same here, but it's a decadent movie. Pretty surprisingly graphic sex scenes!! Wasn't expecting that from a foreign movie. Interesting little movie, I really enjoyed it.

My Poor Father In Law

My father in law recently had what may have been his second stroke. He has been getting more and more forgetful or losing memories altogether, along with other signs of oncoming senility to boot. He goes in and out which is quite distressing for the family, as they try and decide what the right thing to do is.

He also has a mental illness which contributed to threats of suicide recently when he found himself in the hospital. Family is trying to get guardianship of him for his own good. Family friend leaked this to him, and now he has his own lawyers. Hospital is TRYING to kick him out as they are no longer treating him for the stroke, and no longer want the liability for his suicide threat. Also, they seemed really ill equipped to handle an elderly man with a mental illness. Is this new or something for them? Is this something that they don't go over in medical school? Geez Louise!!

Meanwhile rehab nor nursing homes want to take him either. Family is ill equipped to deal, as this would have to be a full time gig, complete with doing medical tasks that would make me quite nervous and monitoring his medicine intake et. As you might imagine, my father in law just wants to go to his non assisted apartment. The hospital that was threatening to let him do that, backed down after all while the family scrambles for alternatives. Ugh.

I guess this is all the thrill of making it to your golden years? I am hoping once an assisted living situation is found, he thrives in it like my grandmother did.

Whallopped with the Blues

I have been so good about taking my allergy and bipolar meds. Recently though, the renewal for my bipolar med lapsed, and I ended up missing two days.

Huge mistake, instead of getting the manic part, I am way down in the dumps. Had a crying jag all yesterday. It so sucks.

Everything is suddenly so "heavy" feeling, and you feel you are unable to deal with any of it. But life goes on, and you have to whether you feel really bad or not.

I hate it, I really do. Why can't my body just regulate the appropriate hormones or whatever?

The House is Up for Sale Again

Okay, so the monster has hired a new real estate agent (as opposed to using herself). Must admit, that's probably a pretty good idea. And they are now using someone who is supposed to be quite successful. Really makes me think this real estate agent must not like them too much, as check out the pictures that she chose to use.









And here are the pictures of my old childhood home in it's glory.
























Er, what tricky marketing plan are they using LOL. Did they loose the pictures of the house before or what? Now our house is down to 309,000 while it looks like it is now in the 140,000 category. I have added a new tag to check the progress called "Real Estate Mogul". An apt title for my competent monster who was insisting on being allowed to sell our house. Bwahhahahahahahhahahah!! I think not.
