Get FREE THERAPY here! Let it all out!

 I certainly wouldn't get back to the nicotine habit after this long. You have successfully beaten the beast!  The electronic cigarette that I use allows you to step down nicotine levels all the way to "0" nicotine.  I guess I need to taper down, and see how that goes, but I'm not going to do that until I start getting restriction back.  I don't need any more challenges with weight until I have my band back in gear.

* I can't work out. I have a hiatal hernia that is protruding into my chest cavity, causing me to be completely short of breath. It's also causing left shoulder pain and chest pain. So, now, not only do I have to be fat because my WLS didn't work for me, but I don't even get to try to counteract the FAT with exercising.

* Oh, I also have gastritis, adhesions, several ulcers, and diverticulosis. I'm feeling really "healthy" right now.  I'm supposed to give up coffee (I've cut down to one measly cup.) To add insult to injury, I have a massive headache from lack of caffeine.

* There is a sign on the corner across from an elementary school in my neighborhood. The thing reads, "We support ARE teachers."  It would be funnily ironic if it weren't so freaking sad.

* I'm so crabbassed today and I'd like to go thrift shopping or SOMEWHERE, but my husband's car is at the shop, getting new exhaust yada yada, and he had to take my car to work. Of course, we have two other vehicles sitting in the garage... the Tahoe "only" needs a new engine and the VW Corrado "only" needs a complete engine overhaul. I'd walk, but we got dumped on with wet snow. (And I'd have to walk down a busy highway!)  I went out this morning to feed all the squirrels and birds and ended up with a huge *plop* of wet, soggy snow on my head and down my back! Falls right off the tree branches with no warning whatsoever. The noive!

* I'm hungry. And I'm fat. Shouldn't it stand to reason that if you have excess fat stored on your body, you wouldn't be hungry?! That's how it would be if I ran things.

"We support ARE teachers,............... and that is how things our.  


Sorry, that just hit a funny bone within me that I had to add to the quote..

I went all day with thinking I had nothing to complain about until I received a frantic call from my 22 yr old neice. She is upset that she can not locate the new Katy Perry Black Shatter OPI nail polish and thinks it is my job to go out there and find it for her because after all , it is her birthday on Sunday and that would make an awesome gift! REALLY? You needed to call me on my cellphone at work and whine to me that the ONE store you went to didn't have it and won't have it until next week and you want it NOW! I frequently call her Veruca & took the opportunity to tell her she sounded like a spoiled brat. But they I'm pissed at myself because no sooner did I hang up the phone with her, I'm texting her to have her call places around my work so I can stop and pick it up on the way home and then texting another friend to see if they have seen it anywhere! I need my head examined!

Food! We aren't getting along it seems! The only thing I've had today is tea w/ stevia. That is it! My new narcolepsy medicine hasn't worked well on keeping me awake and alert but damn it is a great appetitie surpressant!

Lastly, NARCOLEPSY SUCKS! I haven't been able to workout in over a week and a half. I'm physically exhausted and when my brain wants to shut down, it just does. I'd love to be able to have energy to do lots of things, but my brain has other plans for us right now. And daylight savings time coming is making things 100% worse! It is taking every ounce of energy in my body just to be awake and alert enough to work. Once I'm home, it is so over! Give me a soft surface to land on and say goodnight! I just want this damn new med to start kicking in and help the situation here!

Mad that I fell off a step (the kind used for step-aerobics) during bootcamp last week and twisted my ankle.

The outside of my left ankle is now the shape & color of a purple easter egg.

Bootcamp is only 2 more weeks and I can't get full benefit cuz my ankle hurts a little too much to stress it doing mountain climbers and floor jumps and jumping jacks.. etc.

I'll live.. just p.o'd at my clumsiness.

 I twisted my ankle, too, falling on the ice when we got all that mountains of snow (I live in New England).  It is still not really better, and while walking yesterday I twisted it again, same motion.  It folded in on itself.. big bruise and swollen on the outside.  Back in the stupid boot.  My exercise program is constantly one step forward, two steps back.

My current aggravations:

-My ankle.

-My brother in law, who has turned out to be a huge, horrible piece of ****

-The slow, plodding process of Temporary Disability payments (husband hurt his back).

-The cutting of my hours at work.

-The news that our governor is adding taxes to just about everything in our state, including heating oil, gasoline, newspapers, and "livestock, poultry and other agricultural products used to make goods for human consuption."   Basically, if it's something that you use as a human being... TAXED.  This state is failing fast, and the people who are here cannot afford this anymore.  We're screwed.

-Applying for financial aid for school, and being told that I have a student loan in default.. which I most certainly do not.  This just means 45 extra steps in clearing up a mess that I shouldn't have to deal with in the first place.

-Sirius/XM radio, for having possibly the worst customer service known to mankind.

-Developing food allergies to various things after 34 years on this planet, including some of my favorites:  Bananas, avocados, and almonds.
