Health Update

I’m still waiting to hear from Lovelace about my health insurance, but in the meantime, I’ve been doing some research and looking into alternative methods. My chiropractor suspects an adrenal disorder and prescribed me Drenamin. We’ll see how that goes. If it improves, great, if not, no loss. I’m also going to try the acupuncture clinic on Tuesday to see if they have any direction for me. Basically I figure if I can get a general direction from homeopathic methods, I can take that to a general practice and hopefully it means less poking and stabbing for me.

Lost: Common Sense

I got an email from one of our subscribers at work demanding a refund on his subscription. He wasn’t overly rude, but slightly irate, so I looked into things for him. I couldn’t find any record of his payment in our records or on our list. I emailed him several times back and forth trying to make things right for him. Finally, he tells me he moved. I ask if he did any change of address forms or notified us of the change, he says no. I politely tell him that I will send him some back issues and get his new address on the list. In my head, I’m wondering how this person functions in life.

Asprin between your knees

This is a few days old, but I’m still surprised that he said this on live television. I’m sure he thought it was a clever line, but telling the women of your country to keep their collective legs shut is not a way to win over voters. I don’t understand why this is such an issue, a religious business is still a business and the same rules apply. If someone working for a religious organization is provided health care at their job, it shouldn’t be selective. Either offer health insurance to be used at the employee’s discretion or don’t offer it at all. I can’t believe all of the argument that is going on over this. Has anyone else noticed that we’re going bankrupt?? Maybe a little outrage over the economy would be nice? Everyone gets so sensitive over their principles while our country is dying. It’ll be nice when we are all living in poverty because NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO AFFORD BIRTH CONTROL. Problem solved.

(Ok, that was a little extreme, but join the modern world. People have sex and they’re going to keep doing it. We can’t support too many more people on this planet. Do the math, things have to change.)

Hootie’s Sun Tent

Hootie loves to lay in the sun in front of our bedroom windows. I made him a little tent with the curtains and since they are energy saving curtains it turns into a little sun oven for him.

My Valentine

I woke up sick on Valentine’s Day, had a panic attack and spent most of the day trying to force myself to eat. I need to go to the doctor to get to the bottom of the odd symptoms I’ve been having lately. Anyhow, finally I got things under control and we went into town to get some crab legs and a few other goodies. We had them at home and had a nice, quiet evening together. I had a pinup commissioned for The Sweetness and got him subscriptions to a few glass magazines. I was worried most of the day that I ruined Valentine’s Day, but I think everything turned out OK. Luci got her daddy a card since she’s so in love with him. We discussed her running away with him and decided that I was the only one who knows how to fill the food bowl. We agreed that she can have him on leap days. She seemed appeased.

Blood Tests

I got a couple home blood tests to test my Glucose levels and Thyroid. I’ve been feeling dizzy and just generally not as good as I think I should. I’m sending off the thyroid test to the lab and should hear back soon. The glucose test came out low. I’m going to have a doctor check it out further. I was surprised it was low since you’re supposed to fast for 6-12 hours before the test. Now I just need to find a good doctor.

Curtain Makeover

The M-I-L made us new curtains for several of our windows and I decided to go ahead and put up some new ones from the store too. The handmade ones are tropical and bright, so they went in the living room and bathroom. I want to get a bright new shower curtain to match, but The Sweetness is attached to the one we have. The most exciting thing out of this is the kitchen. I bought a set of cafe curtains for the kitchen window, but they were huge so I put them under the counters to hide our open cabinets. I am going to make some adjustments in hanging and add a few more in the kitchen, but I love how they look. We also recently found a pot hanger at the thrift store ($20 score on one I was going to buy online for $80). I also covered our bedroom shelves with a black curtain and it looks much cleaner. Next, I’m going to put curtains over our closet and replace our area rugs. Here’s how it looks:

 

V-Day Plans

The Sweetness and I haven’t figured out yet what we should do for Valentine’s Day. Our options are pretty varied, so here’s a vote for what we should do.

My Mom Needs a TV Show!

My mom has been working with Gator Finishing to put videos together that will appear in Home Depot stores when you scan QR codes (the funny looking square bar codes you see around lately). She does really well, it’s really difficult to talk for 9 minutes and not screw up. Check it out:
