It's wierd...

when there is nothing on your walls. It's also wierd to think that a group of strangers is going to be fondling all of your crap in just a matter of hours.

I'm excted to move. We found mold behind a mirror that was attached to a wall and on the wierd window. Absolutely nasty. Red got mad and went over to the office and made the chick come and look. She's like, you won't get charged for that. THAT"S NOT THE POINT! I bet after we leave here all of the sudden Meredith doesn't have allergies any longer. NASTY. AND I CLEAN THIS JOINT. Good thing I have thf ilter thing. I keep it in the room Meredith is in. Just Nasty!

My MIL is coming to help us with Meredith while we move. That's a good thing. Kinda wierd but I appreciate it.

I feel the same. I have an appt with Dr s next week to ask a few questions and have more bloodwork. We'll see how it goes.

The little girl...

seems to be having issues. She won't nap or go to bed like normal. I guess a lot has changed for her lately. More change is coming soon too. Oh well, we'll get thru it.

PS I'm tired.

I'm wondering...

if there's anything else I can do about the fatigue than take meds. I don't feel like exercising. I don't sleep well when I do sleep. Something has to be done b/c I can't walk around all zombiefied all the dang time. I'm apparently a pretty good faker b/c not too many people know I don't feel all that hot. What does that say for me?

I did get my pretty new medic alert bracelet. It's this one. The blue beaded one further down the page. I like it. Really I should have had one ages ago b/c I am allergic to cillins and their derivatives. I wonder why doctors don't suggest it?

Not too much longer and we move. It's making me more tired and it hasn't even happened yet. I feel like I have a lot to do including finding decent gates for the stairs. Meredith thinks hopping is a good way to deal with stairs. No, it's not.

I'm a slacker...

but I have an excuse. The past few days have been crazy busy. Dude came home, we had our first day and today is his 35th birthday. Happy Birthday Dude! We signed the lease. Dude says he likes the new joint and in exactly one week we move. Busy Busy Busy.

Today I forgot to take my neurontin. I slept for crap last night. Woke up at like 6am with a stabbing pain in my face so I took a decongestant and some motrin and went and sat on the couch. I also fell asleep sitting up again only this time Red is home so he made me lay down and take a nap. I slept for 90 minutes. Craziness.

I did order a new phone...ordered b/c it wasn't in stock in the store. This time I didn't get the free one I got one with a PDA so I'm going to put in all the meds and appts and stuff I have to do and make it alarm. Can't ignore an alarm. I have to find something to make me get in the med groove. I can't forget when I'm in a hurry or crazy tired. It only makes everything worse. I also have too many dang lists that I can't keep straight any longer. Now I can. I have to.

Red would like me to work out again. I say I'm too tired to. I know it'll do me more good than harm, does that make sense, but I have to make myself do it. The new neighborhood is a neighborhood so maybe Stink and I will be going on walks more often. Maybe when it's cooler anyway. Excuses.

the nurse called back this am

at 7:30. She didn't say anything any different than the MSLifelines dude. Waste of time. I just need to call the doctor. I don't know why these sites are going all wonky on me.

Tomorrow is the day in theory. I'll post a picture tomorrow night if it's true.

when you have pills to take...

always look at the pill and ntot just the label to be sure the pharmacy gave you what you're supposed to be taking.

I went to fill my pill box for the week and noticed my re-fill of neurontin doesn't look the same. So I whip out the handy dandy pill book that I have and looked it up. Generic neurontin aka gabapentin is an orange capsule with certain markings at 300mg regular neurontin can be 2 sided beigey/whitey capsules. They really should give people that kind of info. I wasn't sticking something in my body that I had never seen before and neither should anyone who is reading this.

Today is grocery store day. I used the last of the milk and doodster needs some diapers.

I'm half freaked out b/c her adhesion looks like it's closing more not opening with the premarin. As long as she can keep peeing it's ok I know but still. Too bad she fights me when I put it on now. Thanks Ms D for suggesting a nap application. I honestly hadn't even thought of that.

What do I write?

I don't even know. I need to make my yearly gyn appt. But I also need to know when Red is on and off b/c I can't take Meredith with me. They cancel your appt if you do that. I need to make my next Neuro appt but in theory they can't see the August schedule until August. The MS Lifelines dude said he was putting in an alert for SusantheNurse so she can come again b/c of the injection site reactions. Yeah she hasn't even returned my call. I'm not a big fan of hers.

I'm hungry. That is all.

People who don't tell me...

exactly what they think and try to bullshit me bug me. That makes me more tired than anything. You'd think anyone who knows me knows I don't put up with that crap.

The right arm injection site reaction sucks still and now I have one on my right belly and thigh and my left thigh. I called MS Lifelines b/c I was wondering what to do with rotating my sites. They sad move further over on my leg and to massage the spots and use hydrocortisone cream. Yeah, I do that already.

I was going to make my old days list of issues but tey havent' changed. I do have this wierd back numbness that I think I talked about before but it's wrapped all the way around like I'm being hugged by the other Red. Everyone who has been hugged by him knows what that means. Bear hugs. Big ones. That's not going away. It's getting worse actually.

We do have a house now. Paid a deposit and everything. That's a big weight off of my shoulders. I also went to PPO today. It sounds like the move is on with them too. Good.

Ever been so tired...

that even sleep doesn't help? That's me.

Ever been so tired that you forget to do normal things? That's me too.

I was told that this tired thing was "normal" now. I was also told that sleep won't fix it. It's just a thing. Now I know why half the people I've met or chatted with on a message board with MS are on some kind of script for it. I may join those ranks prety soon here.

The old Baby Da is gone...

b/c I didn't wash her properly after she was nearly killed in an accident with a mud puddle. Fortunately she is an identical quadruplet and her identical "sibling" is good enough according to the expert named Meredith, to be a replacement. My first fake out as a parent. It's a good thing. ;)

I forgot what else I was going to post. I'll be back later to try again.

ped eggs are ...

gross but they work. I listened to those of you who told me they did. See I listen sometimes.

I'm tired. My arm hurts. I still have a lot to do. There's no ticket or flight plan yet for a certain Dude. Things are just yucky right now.

I'm back to the right side for the shots so I guess I'll do hip instead of arm this week. Not supposed to inject in a sore or something area. Makes sense huh? I don't hink I coud stick even the thinnest needle in my arm on that side right now.

That is all

I found another place

a townhome. It has a small yard but is in an EXCELLENT neighborhood that has trails and crap and has a LOT of space. And it's not too far for Red and his new command.

I feel like poopy. I need to call the doctor tomorrow and ask about my arm and the injection site business. I'm tired but the provigil apparently decreases milk production.. Things I have to ponder.

today has been a long day

and it's only 2 o'clock. House issues, Meredith woke up at the crack of dawn so we've already gotten everything done. Just too much all before 2.

I can't even think straight so I'm not going to type anything.

I'm making a team for the 2008 MS Walk

Here's the link to the info...2008 MS Walk

The team name is Walkie Talkies if you want to join. OH and it's the VA Beach Red Wing Park one. It's September 28th. All you need to do is register and join a team. JOIN ME!! It'd be fun to have everyone walking with me and Dude and Stink. There's a team page that I haven't quite figured out yet but when I do I'll link that too. Oh and it's free to join. And I don't expect donations. Just come walk with me.

Today my friend D called and said I saw this rad thing on Craigslist. So I went to see it. OMG coooool stuff. A big ole warehouse that has all this stuff from buildings and crap. We got tables that used to be in a school they tore down and small little school chairs. I need to go back.

I did stay in the heat too long and don't feel the greatest but oh well. I still have the itchy spot on my right arm form the shot so I think when I get to right arm next week I'll skip it and do hip.

One of us is crazy tired...

and is considering the Provigil. Too bad that one doesn't want to take any more medication. Doesn't mean I won't be asking about it. I did nap for about 30 minutes. Didn't do any good. I think napping makes me more tired. Makes no sense but whatever.

Today is laundry day. Hers is all done. When she wakes up I'll put it away. Mine has't even been started. Not sure I'm going to hurry to do that.

Tomorrow we're going to a playgroup thing at a chicks house. Mostly b/c she doesn't live too far from here. We need to stop and pick up some fruit to share on the way.

That is all.

Wait let me try something. Link

IT WORKS!! THANKS PERSON WHO SENT ME THIS LINK!!

It's raining and...

we had music class. It's naptime and I'm watching The Quiet. A very odd movie. Nothing else is new that I haven't already mentioned.

Oh wait, I called the PPO office and asked why I hadn't gotten an e-mail or a call from the moving company yet. The dude is like don't worry it's far enough away where they'll e-mail you. If they don't then call back in a week. Yeah uh huh. That's not comforting.

Susan the Rebif nurse came today...

she told me what to do to my red itchy shot spot. She said I sounded like I was doing well. The few questions I had that she couldn't answer she said they weren't things to worry about but to bring them up to Dr. S. I had intended on it so hey whatever.

We went to Oceana, drove by the house again from Dam Neck and even my always gets lost in that part of VA Beach butt got there quickly so that's good for Red, then came home and ate lunch. Now Meredith is NOT napping b/c she fell asleep in the car.

Tired and have a headache today. Don't know why. Also my lips and like half of my tongue feels like I've been to the dentist for some drillage. Not cool.

That is all.

I think...

that the injection on Friday rected with my skin. I have an itchy red spot on my arm where I did the injection. Didn't even notice it until I started itching it too much. I'll have to ask the nurse about it tomorrow. Hmmmm. Interesting.

Must take my motrin for tonights shot now. Interesting. I'll watch this site for a reaction too. LEFT LEFT LEFT.

I'm boring...

which I guess is a good thing. Nothing new is happening. Nothing new to report. Just waiting. Always waiting.

Sunday Sunday....

I really think my neurontin needs to be upped. I need to make an appt with the neurologist for more bloodwork and to talk over a few things. The rebif nurse chick will be here Tuesday morning to check in on me. That's about it.

I also think I'm back on my tired cycle. I have no clue why. Oh well.

We have a date in theory...

for Red to be home. Not too much longer YAYA!!

Nothing is different today.

We went to the park. Meredith hates being dirty, it was wet and kinda mussy, and she hates BUHSSS!!! i.e. bugs. She's kinda funny. I don't know where she got her girliness from. Oh well. She is who she is.

I did order this bed thing for her, the comforter cover and the pink butterfly pillow. I also want this which I've seen at several different websites...just the headboard FYI.

One day I'll read and figure out how to link a website under a clickable word. For now I don't care. ;) But, if someone woudl like to tell me how to do it I'm open to learning. ;)

BOOOOM BOOOOOM BOOOOM

those were fireworks. Visualize. They look rad huh? ;) You're welcome.

Nothing new today so I'm not even going to post anything really. Shot was right arm. That is all.

Wait, I did have a balance issue again today. I forgot. I guess I also have a memory issue too. That's normal though.

I was talking to a friend...

and I said this:

more free advice = when the ballons are twisting around you and you don't like it let go of the strings...they're helium they'll go away.

How's that for free advice?

I actually feel ok...

after the second 44mcg shot. That's a good thing. Maybe I'm used to this med now. Maybe.

I went thru my closet again. Lots of shirts that needed to be taken out. The boobs aren't going to shrink any time soon so there's no point in dragging all the shirts I can't button or wear without loooking questionable all around the joint and stuffing a new closet with it. Bye bye shirts.

I feel ok. I'm just glad that the countdown has begun. NO MORE APT!

WE GOT THE ONE HOUSE....

and we'll be gone from this teeny tiny take you people too long to fix stuff apt in 29 days!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA!!!

belly shot day...

and nothing else is new. I'm having issues getting ahold of the dude who owns the house we want. I can't remember if he said they were going out of town this week so I'm betting that's it. BUT I called his cell as well. He'll answer. I did set up our move. They'll pack on the 30th and deliver on the 31st. In theory.

That is all. Moving makes me anxious.

They say it's my birthday...

A picture of me at 33. For posterity.

and they are correct!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MEEEE HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

So far it's an excellent day. I woke up and didn't feel sick from the shot yesterday (which was right thigh and 44mcg ps), the small girl gave me a hug and a kiss, Dude called, I got an edible arrangement delivery from some rad chicks, I had lunch with more rad chicks and did a little shopping and now it's nap time and quiet and I'm still feeling good. Having a good day is a good thing.

Nothing else to say today. Everyone should have a good day on their birthday.
