well good news i have my laptop back. i am so happy to be able to type again. my entry will go much faster thats for sure.
today has been a very busy day. i cleaned and washed the floor. i cleared off the dining room table and made muffins. our friend was coming over to pick up the spinning wheel. i am glad she will be able to use it. i wanted to learn but with my hands they way they are now its just not possible. our friend has a few sheep now and lives in the country. so i am hoping that she will get alot of use out of it. i made lemon cranberry muffins again with the lemon curd. they turned out so good, only 6 left... we made frozen pizza for dinner. neither one of us wanted to cook. brent made some hamburgers for dinner tomorrow. so i will be baking those when i get home from work.
my memory is getting worse i though i finished and posted this last night. seems i didnt. my pain level is high right now after all the work i did yesterday. i have been up since 330am when i had to use the bathroom. no point in going back to bed for 45 min.
with my laptop back i was able to update my online group album for my trading cards. that took awhile as i had to download the pictures again and then upload to album. i was able to make a trade as well. it was nice to just send a link instead of trying to send pictures every time. i also like the other person has a chance to see all of my cards and not just a few. so that is done.
managed to get some laundry done too. i wanted to get a few other chores done but ran out of energy. these days i can only do so much.
time to start getting ready for work. will post this for now.
It's sat morning and I feel like crap. Pain level is high and I have lots to do. I worked last night and could hardly keep my eyes open when I got home. One of the things I wanted to do today was bring my laptop in to see what's wrong with it. Typing on this tablet is still annoying.
Work was very long last night. I was falling asleep at 6 reading my book. I went to bed almost as soon as I got home. I slept like rock. I didn't wake up until this morning. I weighed myself this morning , down another 5 lbs.
I am giving away my spinning wheel . I always wanted to learn how to use it but with my health issues its not going to happen. It's ok I am ok with giving it away. It's going to someone who will actually use it. Maybe she will share Abit of her yarn?
Iam still not knitting. Don't have my mojo back yet. I guess I don't miss it enough. I don't know. It's the time of year when I should be knitting. I should be knitting for the grandkids. Making them something special for birthdays or Christmas. I feel so alone. I know nothing about them now. Been so long since I talked to them.
I don't like this time of year anymore. I have no family. Just as well I will be working Xmas. No reason not too anymore. Will get extra pay for it too.
I traded a card today too. I have to remake it as I was not entirely sure of what I was posting. Oh well.
Brent brought my laptop in to see if there is anything that can be done to fix it. Hope it won't take too long.
It's getting late and I am tired. See you all tomorrow.
Almost at the end of my day off. The day went by so fast seems like I just got up and now it's almost time for bed. I had a few things to get done today. I had to get the oil changed on the car. Then home to make dinner and wash dishes and the floor. I got the aviary cleaned and all the birds back in. I am still finding typing on this tablet really annoying.
I traded a card today too and finished a couple to post this weekend. I got the card ready to send out , it's going to England. I might have to get some stamps this weekend. I am going out grocery shopping.
Pain level is livable today . Tomorrow is change the bed and laundry. Seems there is always one more thing to do. The list never gets any shorter it seems.
I got an email from work today. It said I now have to wear a gown for every client I see. So that an average of 10 gowns a day at 4 bucks a piece. So 40 bucks a day just for me. Now 40 x 200 is 8000 a day. Now times that by 30 is 240,000.00 a month. Somehow I doubt my company is going to pay that just for our city. There are other cities who will need lots more. Guess we shall see what happens. I called and asked for 100 gowns and whoever I was talking to nearly had a heart attack. I had a hard time getting 4 gowns 2 weeks ago.
Time for bed see you all tomorrow
I am so glad today is almost over. It has been a long 6 days. I am in alot of pain and very tired. I feel like a walking zombie. I feel numb.
I made western sandwich and salad for dinner. Better than nothing and I have ketchup to cover the taste of eggs. Chores are done and soon it will be rest and shower time. There is a couple of shows I watch tonight. I don't think my entry will be very long today. I am so tired I can hardly think.
See you all tomorrow
It's stupid o'clock again. I am trying to get it together for work. It's not going well. I am in so much pain I can barely move.
Ok pain meds taken, now I wait for them to kick in and hope they will last long enough. I am still very tired which reminds me of a memo sent out by the office about driver safety. One of which is to not drive when tired. Well then I should not have been driving the last three days. So how does the office justify what they do I have no clue. The office lives in a different world then us workers. Without us workers no one in the office would have a job, they seem to have forgotten that part.
Looked outside and there is snow on the car. I don't have far to go but winter is still a pain in the ass and a very dangerous season. I never liked traveling in the winter. Funny how no one in my family ever traveled to see us in the winter, they never came to see us ever.
Came across an old birth notice of the last known birth from my siblings. My nephew would be 12 now. My sister never sent pictures of her kids or even let me know she was pregnant. I have not talked to any of them in 10 years. I wonder if they even think of me. I guess not enough to call or email. I would not know any of those kids if I ran into them on the street. Which is sad.
I have to leave in half an hour...see you after work.
Much later now. Got some chores done and made some apple sauce from the sad looking apples. The peelings are in the dehydrator covered in some spice. When dry the peelings will be ground up and used on my hot cereal in the morning.
I traded another card so will drop it in the mail tomorrow when I go to work. It's going overseas. Nice to send to a new country. I started using my new address labels last week. I really like them, just the right size. I can put them on the back of the trading cards too. My printing is not the best anymore with how much my hands shake.
My blood sugar numbers are the best I have seen in quite a few years. I think losing 45 pounds has really helped get my sugars down. I have lost about 5 pounds a month since going back to work. Between the heat in the building and the lack of appetite it has made some weight come off. I also do alot of walking in the building as well. That does not help pain levels at all. I still only have 2 pain pills per day. No idea when I will be able to see the Dr again and ask to up my dose. This covid thing has changed alot of lives for sure.
Well time for shower and bed....see you all tomorrow
Well that is incredibly annoying . I started an entry and now it's gone. And with how long it takes for me to type on this thing it's very frustrating.
I did not feel up to writing an entry the last few days. After working split shift and not getting enough sleep I was just too tired. I still have chores to do and need to shower as well.
I made it through the day. I am very sore and very tired. My pain level is very high and I need to be in bed soon.
Later. Chores done and I had something to eat. Almost time for bed the weather has turned crappy. I dug out my boots and can only hope the roads are ok in the morning.
I have more showers to do tomorrow and I hope I don't pass out because of the heat. I am so tired of just giving and giving. I feel so empty when I get home. I had to ex plain to brent that I need some alone time to regroup. I think he finally gets it.
I am going to bed now see you all tomorrow.
Day off today, yay me. I am not going out any place to do anything. I have chores to do and of course dinner to make.
Later. Got the avairy done. It's a big job. Glad it's done. Now I need to think of something for dinner. Don't think he will go for soup and grilled cheese.
So dinner got made. I made muffins too, orange cranberry. They turned out really good.
I have laundry in the dryer. I have using the dryer. I just don't have the energy to stand and iron anymore. I will also end up in a ton of pain too in my hips from standing.
I slept in today, but I am still so tired. I am waiting for the dryer to stop so I can go to bed. I didn't get my plants potted. Been trying to do that for days, the energy level is not there today. Just thinking about work makes me want to run into the night screaming. It causes me so much pain and I resent giving all my good energy to my job.
I got a few cards done today. So they will be ready for trade in the weekend. The Xmas cards are starting to come out now.
Dryer has stopped time for bed. See you all tomorrow.
So another day of finger poking on this thing. I guess I should not complain at least I have something to write an entry on.
So glad I am home from work. It was a long morning. Sometimes I get so tired of making small talk and answering dumb questions like ...is it cold out. I say in my head yes it's fucking cold out it's November ffs. I just answer yes an leave it at that.
Now brent wants to know what's for dinner. And I am thinking you are home all morning why didn't you make something. I am tired of cooking. Tea and toast forever! I don't know what it is with men and wanting meat and potatoes. I can live without that everyday.
Only thing that bugs me the most about not having my laptop is all my patterns I have saved on it. There is something to be said for paper.
Don't think my entries will be very long with all this finger typing. This goes so slow I loose track of what my train of thought was.
I fell asleep during my show again. It sucks getting up at 430am so I can function somewhat. I go to bed when brent I still working and he is sleeping while I am at work. We don't spend hardly any time together.
I have been working on a few cards for trade this weekend. I traded one today. I will have a couple of Xmas cards ready to post when they are dry as well. I was hoping the die cuts I ordered would have come in today. I ordered them from Amazon. I have been trying some new ideas like the cut out bird I did, so far no takers. I thought it was going to be traded fast. It's hard to guess what people will trade for.
Well my typing finger is getting sore...see you all tomorrow
So my laptop has crapped out again. No idea why. So I am trying to type an entry on a tablet. It's going to take me forever. I am used to touch typing and this business off one finger typing sucks but will do my best to write a decent entry. It's almost like writing it by hand it's that slow.
Yesterday was a long day and after work I had a couple of errands to get done. I picked up an auction item and got gas, then it was over to the garage to see if I could get some air for my tires. So got my tires topped up and made an appt for an oil change. That is for next week.
With my laptop not working again it's going to be harder to add pictures for card trading. Sometimes I am not good at figuring things out like cell phones and laptops. I am still making some Xmas cards . The going is slow but something is better than nothing. I have posted a few but no takers yet. Which is kind of disappointing I thought people liked my work. I am caught up on my mail outs and letters. So I guess I will work on some more cards.
The cats caught a mouse after I left for work. Brent saw them playing with it and carrying it around for a couple of hours. One of the cats likes to sleep in the rabbit cage. Strange.
Well this typing with one finger is getting on my nerves...see you all tomorrow
almost time for bed again. another day has just flown by. i tried to get some things done but things happen. i try not to sweat about it anymore. no point really . it will still be there later of course.
i was not planning on going out today but it was so nice i thought why waste it. we all will be stuck inside soon enough with winter coming. we went out for breakfast and then on to the thrift shop. i found a nice tea cup and a scrub top. i dont know how many tops i have but i am glad to be able to wear them all now that i have lost enough weight. some are even becoming too big. i never thought that would happen...ever. i have alway had a hard time loosing weight. so now that i am loosing weight on a regular basis it has helped with being able to wear some of my clothes again. i also found some lace i can use with my trading cards. brent didnt find anything he wanted.
i used lace to make a really nice card and the darn buttons broke in the mail. so will have to think of a way to send the card or not make anymore. will think on that for a while.
i made dinner. homemade soup and homemade bread and store bought pie. soup and bread turned out good. least brent ate it. sometimes he can be very picky.
the cats are driving me nuts lately. they are all over my keyboard and me. so now i am covered in cat hair again and cant do much typing. like now.....
so i am going to call it a night and get ready for bed...see you all tomorrow....
