My Chaotic Realm

Well, awake @ 4:30am yesterday, then not much really in the manner of sleep all night last night, just tossed and turned on really sore shoulders. If I lay on my side, eventually the circulation gets cut off from shoulders down, then I wake up in excrutiating pain and roll onto my back... where I cannot fall back asleep. Now that I am upright, my shoulders just ache. But I do have feeling in hands all the way down to fingertips, so that is a bonus. Blood pressure is back up, tho not as high as I would like... 98/51, pulse 71. More water... more water... feel like a camel!! Feeding night for the pythons... that is always fun... Daimon is still growing so fast I can't tell when one shed stops and another one starts. So, the plan is still to take off Friday the 13th in celebration, as well as to get some things done that I am in need of... getting my driver's license renewed (have to do in person as they want to SEE me at least once every 12 years...wtf?)? Amending tax returns. W...

well, went home dizzy & wobbly feeling... took my blood pressure and it was 79 over 59, pulse 62. It is a bit better today, a whopping 96 over 58 and a pulse of 60...and I have a Zumba class at Curves today. Hmmmm. So, we'll see how that goes... drinking lots of water (one of the causes of hypotension). Spirit ran into my Celica this morning.... good news is, Pete helped me locate a taillight first thing so it will be headed this way from New York soon.. found it here! And, while I am updating things, we are still numbering four @ work, and coming along nicely with the training. I will be taking Friday the 13th off as a personal day, get caught up on some art items I am a wee bit lagging on. The last half of April will be insane with all our activities, so now or never! I work the 14th, then we are trying for Bandera the 15th...that may wait a couple of weeks, not sure? And Rebel celebrated 14 months w/SO @ a dinner last night... such a sweet soul! And tonight is perso...

Well, my printer has been dead all week... and I am the networking printer.... comp geek was called out Monday morning but not yet here. Could invoice but then need to print them & mail out. Could type up work orders but need to print them out afterwards. Could print up disconnect notices but THOSE have to print. Sigh Walaa...he is here! more later!

Well...back from my doc...she was okay with most everything. Gained 6 pounds :-( from when I was last there 12 weeks ago. But that beats the 1-2 # I WAS gaining every week. Also gave her the "good news", that I'd joined Curves 4 weeks ago. The "bad news", I told her, was that I had not lost ANY weight-- I weighed exactly the same today as I did when I started there four weeks ago. She said that was not really bad news as no one loses weight in the 1st month of working because they are converting fat to muscle, which weighs more. So...I'll keep it up. She says changes in body composition are more telling than the scale. I do the "weigh & measure" thing @ Curves the 6th of every month so I will see what happens then. After a little more discussion, we tweeked one medication and did three more thyroid blood tests ... thinks my gland may be enlarged. Did you know your thyroid gland is located in your neck? I didn't until she started poking ...

Well..we sat down last night & plotted out the calendar for April & May... my my my my my. It is such a good life, and we enjoy sharing it, both with each other & with others. So we are so involved in all type of things... RCGi, WTI, WotY, 2nd Thursdays, Meetup groups... wheeee!! Rebel's roomie let his dog out, Rebel found him that same evening (Thursday) at the animal shelter, only to have the idiot roomie let him out AGAIN the very next day!! ARGH!! Finally, Hays County animal control picked up Rebel's puppy yesterday afternoon on the dog's way into WIMBERLEY!! From Tx State college... wow, he was hoofin' it!

well, posted our "2nd Thursdays" to Witchvox and to our Meetup Group (Grove) and have met one sister pagan... will see how many more decide to participate... also still have to post it to the RCGi group list... sweet..April is coming in FULL!! POuring down rain here still... quack, quack....

Well, Rebel's housemate let Bud (R's dog) out... then went off to class w/o retrieving im.... idiot!!! Bud was finally recovered from the animal shelter last night, only to have MYSTERIOUSLY let himself out again, utilizing his pays around the front door KNOB... Hmmmmmmm. Last day of P's vacation..Monday she returns to the hell we've made for her...anything we could put off, we did! LMAO... poor gal, she'll need a vacation just to recover from all the piles & post-its on her desk Monday morning. Looked at the calendar for April... we have events/meetings/moons/classes 13 of the 30 days. A full life we lead, but it is very rewarding! The meetup group we host has Full Moon and then our RCGi FM group meets. Between moons (full & new), WOTY Tx meetings & weekend, our WTI Advisory weekend, book club, monthly pagan dinner...WHEW!! Got the Beltane altar set up last night. Got some stuff moved around on the bookcases, too. And kid's VCR tapes put up...
