No news is good news, right?
Nope. In a few days, I will be heading for Texas for a medical procedure that I don’t really want to get into right now, because I don’t want to jinx it. I don’t want to think about it anymore than I absolutely have to. When I’m offline, I am faced with this problem left and right. It is thrown in my face by people who have told me that I shouldn’t go through with this, because it’s a waste of time and money, but it’s my time and money! Can’t I waste it if I want to? All that aside, I want to try to live a little longer, and Doc Mick says that if I go through with this, I will probably live much longer than if I did not. What gets me is that my brother is actually going along with this. Normally, he hates me, but not this time.
Monday starts spring break. I’m supposed to be getting ready for the procedure, but I am too excited about getting some quality time off, and the warmer weather, that I can’t really concentrate on medical procedures and dieting and specific bathing times or how frequently I brush my teeth. I know, I know, I’m not being good, but at least I can smile most of the time. When I’m not being told that basically saving my life is a waste of time and money that could be better spent on ungrateful family members.
In other news, I was reported at work for “drug abuse”. I laughed forever at that. Mostly at the hypocrite who reported me. So I’ve been advanced to a fentanyl patch system. So what? I’m given this extreme medication for two legit reasons, and neither reason is because I’m a drug addict or a junky. But I can’t seem to get that through the thick skulls of anyone. It’s spilling over to friends who are ex addicts themselves. Wha..? Spread the misery, right?
Now I leave you with some pictures of the last few days. Enjoy.
Foooooooood. I had my first Shamrock Shake, Chicago Dog and New York Dog:



And then spent a couple hundred at the Mac store:


So far so good.
I’m expecting to get paid tomorrow and pay off my credit card, to an extent where I don’t have to worry about over-spending anymore. I also went out and bought my mom her birthday cake for this year, and some blank DVDs so I can transfer the movies and TV shows she wanted onto discs. My wonderful DVD recorder already botched two discs, and I had to reset the PRAM on my computer. I hope this will stop that error from happening again, and I can go on with getting these done in time for her birthday.
My friends tried to cheer me up some more today, but with my hiccups, heartburn, stomach aches, and chronic knee pain, I just can’t get in a good mood. I feel tired all the time, and I blame the morphine on that. I’m exhausted, and I don’t even have a good excuse. I’ve tried downsizing my life, accomplishing tasks that have been nagging at me for weeks, and nothing seems to make me feel better, physically or emotionally. I don’t understand it. Dennis isn’t answering his phone tonight, and he didn’t tell me if or when he even had any place to be, but I don’t care. I don’t feel like dealing with people much anymore. They just annoy me. Even my own kids annoy me. I try to talk softly to people because anything above normal makes me dizzy, and all they say back to me is “Huh?” So I feel like I’m screaming at people all the time. It’s so frustrating.
Chloe wants me to go to something at her school, before spring break. Hell, I forgot about spring break. After next week, she’ll be home for an entire week. Fun, fun, fun. This means I’ll have to entertain her for the week.
I find myself having less and less tolerance for people and things. That’s not like me. I’m usually so patient and calm and collected, but not lately! Lately I just want things to go smoothly, and when they don’t, I have to walk away from the situation for a while before something bad goes down. I haven’t gone to the therapist in several weeks because I have been sick. I figure I should go, just to make sure I’m ok.
I found out one of the women who looked down her nose at me for helping some babies in need, is, in fact, pregnant for the fifth time. Her fourth baby was miscarried around Thanksgiving. Less than a month later, she found out she was pregnant again. Of course her baby is a miracle. Mine were just “drug induced accidents that should have been aborted”. Just ask her. She’s one of the many people who make me sick with her snide remarks, hiding behind Jesus and being a “good girl”. Yep. Good girls. They get knocked up at 16, the man walks out of their lives, and they spend the rest of their lives stalking said man, even while married to another man and squeezing out his babies, making sure their ex can’t get a job and then complaining about the ex being a drain on society. Nice, Christian woman, huh? They’re all like that around here. They’re all cut from the same cloth.
Before I close for the night, and stagger to my bed in my morphine clouded brain, I have to say that I took a peek at my site on an IE browser at work. IE has really gone down hill! I wonder why I even bothered to use it in the first place! It’s just really, really, really bad.
Good nite everyone!
One of my friends took me out to lunch today. It was nice getting out for the sake of getting out. My heartburn is back with a vengeance and my knee is killing me, so I just ordered a salad, and I fear I was bad company. There was nothing that I really wanted to talk about. Not the nice weather, or the up coming raises that the other professors are going to get. I finally got up the courage to email my boss back tonight, since Thunderbird is being an ass and not letting me see my emails when I click on them. There was a form I was supposed to fill out and turn in by today. I am going to try my hardest to get it done tomorrow, but I don’t know. A lot going on. A lot that I don’t want to go through with. It’s times like this that I wish there was such a thing as a magic wand where I could just make things better. Where I wouldn’t have to be so unsure about my future, or unsure about what’s going to happen to me. I don’t like that my doctor said I would never be cured. I don’t dwell on that, but it’s something there, in the back of my mind.
Coming back to work from lunch, one of the other assistant professors brought up that the University was hiring all of us permanently. This just depressed me more, because of that resignation in my boss’ inbox. I told this to my co worker, and he suggested that I just go in the office and take the resignation out of my boss’ inbox, if it was still there, and no one would know that anything had happened. I actually considered doing this for a few minutes before I actually did it. Yes, it was dishonest, and probably the easy way out. I was surprised that my boss hadn’t cleaned out his inbox yet. I found my resignation in the middle of a stack of papers that had not been touched. But I still emailed him tonight to ask if there was any changes on my employment. From talking with the co worker that suggested that I do this, people do it all the time. They quit and then take back their quit before their boss gets to see it. Doesn’t make it right, but it feels better if you go through the motions of something that you want to do, without having any consequences, sometimes.
I was put on morphine for the pain, but it doesn’t seem to be helping. It makes me sleepy and sick, but that’s all. My ex is still in my life. I wonder how long this will last? When Dennis gets home, I doubt Robert will hang around much more, but there’s been stranger things happen. I think he wants my meds and that’s all. I added him on FB over a year ago, but it was just last month that he decided to get in touch with me. Nothing like the past to make one depressed about the present!
Tomorrow’s gonna be another day. Right?
I’m thinking of starting a column on here called “Monthly Obsessions” which feature music that I think is note-worthy. Older stuff. From the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Stuff like the early Silverchair songs and Simon and Garfunkel. Good idea? Yes? No?
Actually, I’m still depressed about this, only now I can add that he gave me hell via Skype because he heard me tell my friend Judson that I loved him (Judson). I say that to all my friends! Who the hell doesn’t tell their friends and family they love them?? Christ on a cracker. Oh, and I’m clearly lying about not having anymore percocet because I just don’t want my ex to have it. Riiiiight. I think that’s why he got back in touch with me again.
There was one comment on that post I didn’t approve. The IP was suspicious (use your real name and info, thanks; I haven’t deleted anything, I have a draft option that takes your content out of the public viewing, and the IP of this person matched exactly to someone who doesn’t have any room to talk about me), but I’d like to point out that if I had known it was my ex calling me, I wouldn’t have answered the phone. Yes, I added him on Facebook months ago. My phone number is in my profile, glaring bright and shiny. Yes, I still have cancer, but that’s small potatoes compared to pain from a fractured spine and bad teeth. More people can relate to those types of pain rather than just coming out and saying I have some nausea and fever from cancer treatments. I think less than a gram of narcotics isn’t going to throw me in an addiction nor will I wind up in the Betty Ford Center for using that little bit of a legally prescribed drug. That was the first time I’d needed narcotics to sleep off abuse, so I don’t think I have a “drug problem”. It was cute of you to use a slur such as “dope fiend”. Are you also the racist calling my step dad the “N” word, because he’s black, on YouTube?
