Yesterday morning I woke up and my eye was gunky. It itched, was dry, and was red. My first thought was pink eye. I decided to go to the Take Care Clinic at Walgreens after work to get some meds and hoped that I wouldn’t have to miss work on Friday. Why? Because if you don’t work the day before and the day after a holiday, you don’t get paid for the holiday. So I went through work without touching my eyes, got my car (I had it inspected and the oil changed) and went over to Walgreens. I was seen by the nurse practicioner who looked at my eye and said “you might have iritis. Go to the ER.” So I went to the ER. I waited FOREVER and finally say a physician’s assistant who said iritis hurt like hell and my eye would be practically swollen shut if I had it. She numbed my eye and looked at it with dye and nothing was wrong. She gave me an ointment for my eye and ordered me off work today. I have a doctor’s excuse, but I don’t think that’s going to help when it comes to getting paid for Monday. *sigh*
Was that the end to my excitement? Of course not. For the third day in a row today I have a terrible pain in my neck on the right side. Tylenol helps, but doesn’t make it go away. Last night as I’m trying to go to sleep I get a charlie horse in my right calf. It too hurts today. I have to wash my bed tomorrow and hope I feel I’m up for church cause Tom wants me to give them a tithe. I don’t feel like going anywhere. I put the ointment in my eye and I can’t see cause its blurry in that eye (my left one). I just want the pain to go away. Is that so much to ask?

Good morning. I mean, good afternoon. I get to go out and see someone toay. I am so looking forward to it, even if I don’t think I can remember how to do the sling shot cast on. *sigh* I should remember to take my knitting bag, even if I’m not knitting anything currently. That’s right – there’s nothing on the needles. I kept getting frustrated by the cast on for the scarf so I, as the Steel City Knitter would say, put it in time out. I couldn’t for the life of me cast on 28 stitches. Somebody should have shot me. lol.

Well, I better stop blogging and better start going. She’s a wait in’ on me. When she’s not taking apart the dishwasher, that is.

Good morning, its A&A time. What’s A&A time? Awake and alone. It can be some of the hardest times of the day. I had a hard time last night. I spent a good amount of time crying. Finances had me down. That, of course, always spreads into my self confidence and self esteem. I was up later than I wanted to be talking to Tom. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I can feel it this morning. I’m awake now, with no one to talk to and no one to hold me. Unless you count Kit. I usually don’t. He’s a good kitty, but its not the same. He just can’t give me a hug and tell me everything is going to be okay. That’s what I really want right now.
Tom was supposed to be home this week, which only makes it harder. I also had a bad dream last night, another thing which makes it harder. At least I know that God loves me, right? That helps. Well, I have to keep going. Have a good day!

Tom sleeping. I miss him so!

It’s 4:34 am and I’m getting ready to be on my way to work. I’m too tired for this. I did try to go to bed early last night, but I lay in bed not sleeping for what seemed like hours. Why can I only fall asleep when I don’t have to be up before dawn? So what were you doing at this time this morning? I can only hope you were sleeping and look forward to the fact that next week at this time I will be too.

Yes, today is Friday and I have to work. Boo. Well, I guess I could live with that, but the thing is tomorrow I have to work, too. Boo! I would rather be going to Nationality Days in Ambridge (a local festival) than going to work. Not to meniont that I’m not exactly looking forward to getting up at 3:30 am. I don’t think anyone would. Well, I’m sure there are some crazies who think that’s a great time to get up, but I’m definitely not one of them. *sigh* I know, I know – I shouldn’t complain. I have a wonderful job and only work 4 days a week, but this Saturday business sucks at times. Oh well, I’m sure I’ll get used to it. Some day. I am glad that I had two days off. I got my laundry done. Yippee! And I did get a lot of work on my story done – I went from 19,300 to 23,930 in the past two days. That’s a lot of words. I found out about the history of my main character. I also beefed up the storyline about my dark forces as well. Important stuff. Well, I best continue on my day and get ready for work. Anyone want to go for me?
