Too much...

Between Facebook and Myspace and here...I never feel like I have time to catch up with everyone. I get over here and have to read 500 blogs that I've missed because I haven't even logged in in forever.

I've had a nasty head cold/allergies/or something since last Monday. But I think I'm starting to feel a little better.

I had an MRI does this week on my rotator cuff. I've been having the same kind of pain in my shoulder/arm/neck that I used to get when I worked at the IRS...which was diagnosed as Impingement Syndrome and hurt like a mother effer. So, it was time to go see my Orthopedic Specialist again. He wants to make sure I haven't actually torn my rotator cuff and my old MRI's were like 5 years old. I have the follow up on Tuesday to see what the pain is from and what I'm going to do about it.

I had another couple of appointments with my new psychologist...and after a bunch of tests, he thinks it is beyond a doubt that I have adult A.D.D. He thinks that basically all my anxiety and depressive states are caused by it. Because I'm never constantly depressed. It changes all the time. He said I get so anxious and frustrated and can't control it that it send me into depressive modes. So, on Monday I go to see my old phychiatrist, and the plan of action is for me to take medication for A.D.D. instead of anti-anxiety and anti-depression medication. I've tried lots of those before, and they don't do a whole lot. So, this is pretty much all new territory. I'm a little nervous, but a little excited. My mom has been saying on and off for years that she's thought I had A.D.D. since I was in high school...but she's never done anything about it??? I'm trying not be angry about that.

P-Dub is sick too. I took Gabby to the pool yesterday for an hour or so. Then he came over. We all went to my parent's for a minute, grabbed some lunch, went shopping at Old Navy for summer clothes for Gabby. And then he and I laid around watching TV, trying not to be sick. Gabby played outside.

Today is another glorious sunny day, and as soon as I can get up and about...get rid of my headache...I'm going to get a bagel and coffee...and then we're going out to the pool agan. Although I'm sure I'm already too damn dark as it is.

June is coming soon and Gabby has 4 days left of school. She'll be spending 2 weeks at her dad's in June and then she's going to Arizona and Colorado with my parent's for 2 weeks. They will all be gone for my birthday. 32. Holy crap!

Am I Going To Die? I just got stung for the first time ever by a wasp . . . So far so good . . . I can still breathe, I haven't swelled up like a balloon, yet . . . But it hurts and itches like crazy!!! It's almost the end of the semester and I am completely swamped! Two projects, two papers, and three finals, all in the next 3 weeks . . . Somehow I'll handle it. I've actually all of sudden "woken up" where school is concerned. I've been in such a daze for like the last 7 or 8 months. The AOC has changed my life as I knew it . . . in good and bad ways!!! Bad because he takes up too much of my thoughts . . . and I need all the brain capacity that I can get!!! Somehow, after years of barely even talking to anyone at work, and only a couple of years of actually being a little more friendly with my co-workers, I seem to have been sucked up in "office politics" and I HATE it! I used to really like going to work . . . now I just want to quit!! It still...

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...
"He's Just Not THAT Into You" Sheesz...did someone really need to write this book? Why couldn't women just be left alone in their lonesome deceiving torture upon themselves. No, really...seriously...we like not knowing the truth and playing games with our own minds. What will we have to talk about with our friends if we can't say, "What do you think he meant by this?" If everytime you have to question a man's motives or make excuses for him, and the answer to everything is simply, "He's just not all that into you"...there will be no glimmer of hope...none whatsoever...a girl won't even be able to fool herself into thinking that she can ever possibly find someone. I know I know I know...the truth hurts, and the truth also sets you free...but you'll have to be very secure in yourself and not prone to beating yourself up in order for the truth to really set you free...otherwise the truth only makes it harder to move on. So, thi...
