Strep Throat - Here we go again...

I had strep throat right at the beginning of summer, then a couple of weeks ago, I think I had it again. I didn't go to a doctor, and I had some antibiotics here, so I took them, and felt a little better. But my throat has been hurting for a couple of weeks off and on. This week it came back with a vengance, and when I got my goodnight call from J.C. I could barely talk. So, I will be going to see a doctor today. I called into work, but I can't miss classes today . . . that's gonna suck. There's nothing worse than having to walk on campus and sit in class when you feel all clammy, sweaty, and cold when your fever breaks. I don't know why I can't just get over this. My tonsils feel like they're filling up the back of my throat. I keep looking at my toothbrush with a suspicious eye because the first time I had strep, the doctor told me to change my toothbrush in 5 days, and I didn't do it . . . gross . . . I can just imagine all the little bacteria living on my toothbrush . . . If I have strep throat again this time, DON'T LET ME FORGET TO CHANGE OUT MY TOOTHBRUSH BY AT LEAST NEXT WEDNESDAY!!!

I have been told that if you take antibiotics from an older prescription and you don't take a whole prescription (like left over pills) that not only will the infection come back but WORSE. Also -- don't forget to eat yogurt. You don't want to double up the problem.

I think you're actually supposed to change your toothbrush, like, every 6 weeks or something. Especially after a cold or ENT infection.

Hey There i'm sorry that not feeling well. I just read that i was just the next jerk, i see how it is.i don't think that i was i jerk i was just in love with you and you didn't want me like i wanted you at least thats what you said. You did some things that made you a bitch to me, and i did some things that made me an asshole but i loved you and was forgiving and i still love u, that's how i let u go. I put my love with you and Gabby and you really didn't see my insides about how i felt about You and Gabby, i would have jumped in front of a speeding car just to save either of you. you were my best friend, but know i just think about yall and i cry. don't put things on the net that make other people feel like shit. I just had i dream about you last night and you were nice to me in my dream and thats how i found this because i really missed you.
I just wanted to find a recent picture of you. I hope you get well even if you think that i am a jerk.

I may need to change to address to this blog. This recent comment from the ex pretty much scares me to death. It scares me that he hasn't moved on, and is still stalking me by searching for me on the net. I read about other people's dramas with comments on their blogs, and have been thankful that this has been an outlet for me, and I haven't had any problems...but I guess that has gone out the window...and I do want to clarify that in another post I said that this particular ex was nice to me, but he had issues, I didn't really mean that he was a "jerk", but he has caused problems in my life, and I was simply filling out a simple survey...I don't know what to do about this...other than change the location of this blog...I didn't want this guy to know anything about my life, so he could possibly try to ruin anything good going on in my life...it just sucks...

John,

You want to talk to someone about it - call me. You have my number somewhere I'm sure. We can have a little chat. Other then that -- you need to man up to the fact that Lizzy isn't your friend now. You have friends of your own.

And I will give you a little piece of advice that I was given back when Mario left me: It's always harder to let go even when you know it's best thing. Don't take the easy way out.

LET IT GO.

Leave her alone. She's happy. You're having a bad day. She's not. Call another friend. Go to a spa. Smoke a bowl. Play guitar. Throw some Karate chops in the front yard. Think about what's best for Gabby and how confusing it would be for you to reappear right now. Or you can ALWAYS call me and I'll let you have it like I used to. I'm pretty clear headed when it comes to expressing myself.

Ta-ta

Liz,

I am so sorry that someone has invaded your world and decided to shit in your yard. Its not a nice thing. I would hope that this person, would realize that we dont' poop in other peoples yards and that there are certain women that you just can't eff with.

Love always,

DIY Faux Brick Wall with German Schmear

Written February 14, 2021, when I tried to start a  WordPress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. My estranged (?), separated (?), I don't know what, husband, and I actually worked on this together.  I watched 1,000 YouTube videos and read another 1,000 posts on how to do this.  In the end, I took a little from here and a little from there. The faux brick paneling was bought from Home Depot.   We cut the seams with a Ryobi jigsaw , used liquid nails and a Ryobi nail gun to attach the panels, and used joint compound mixed with a bit of water for the schmear.  It's a perfectly, imperfect technique.  I practiced a little, but decided to just jump in and let the wall take on a life of it's own.  I will warn that the joint compound dries much whiter than you think it will.  Use sparingly if you want to see more brick. Once the wall was finished, I painted the other walls Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige .  Shelves and floor...

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

Constant Construction

I don't know how non-ADD brains, non-anxiety riddled bodies handle living in this type of chaos, but I can tell you that with ADD and anxiety, this construction chaos paralyzes me.  All I want to do is run away and travel instead of just buckling down and getting it completed.   It's been years of living in some sort of disarray.  That hole in my ceiling has been an ongoing project for nearly 10 years.  Something my estranged husband was supposed to handle, but never did.  So, I hired a guy from Thumbtack, who got the job done, eventually.  He could definitely strengthen his time management skills.   Big changes coming for this room.  Change is slow to come in this household, but I still hold out hope everyday that it will speed up.
