Day 15

Today I am thankful for food. Some people never have enough to eat. Since we have been grocery shopping at the Bishop's Storehouse, I've really come to appreciate the large assortment of food at a supermarket. I'm not ungrateful for the food orders, I just get really tired of pasta, beans & rice.

Today Don came home with another garnishment, Cache Valley Specialty Hospital again. I think I'll die before I ever go back to CVSH for treatment. I was supposed to have had a mammogram earlier in the year. Then every time I go for lab tests, it is $110. Then there is the chest x-rays. Nope, no more blood work or chest x-rays & I don't think I'll go back for my 6 month check up.

Today at work I had a visual disturbance & then the head ache hit. It's kind of hard to read when you can't focus your eyes. Even so, the paper was pretty straight forward today & I was finished by 6:30 p.m.

Conference weekend

It's a beautiful weekend for LDS General Conference, warm & sunny. I haven't listened to any of the sessions. Don-Mike went to the priesthood session for the first time in his life. No, actually, he may have gone a couple of times when he was a teen-ager, but Don doesn't go, so the boys haven't gone.

Don-Mike went with Ian Porter. I asked him if he saw Robert Bartlomé in the missionary choir, but he said he didn't. I don't know if Robert got to sing in it or not. I would assume he did, but haven't heard.

Don-Mike wanted to take Nana for a ride today. She loves Sunday rides. He wanted to take his "new" Trans-Am. He offered to take me, I would've had to ride in the back. Riding in the backseat makes me car sick & I already have a headache. He even offered to take the Duramax (extended cab pickup). I don't know how many times in my life I've gone on a ride when I've had one of these headaches. I have not enjoyed the ride nor have I made it pleasant for others. They went & I stayed home today. Nick wanted to take his red Camaro. Don rode with Nick. People laugh at us when we take 2 vehicles wherever we go, but it works.

Sleepin' the day away

I didn't go to bed until 2:30 a.m. last night, but I also didn't get up until 3:45 p.m. I was awakened several times, but just couldn't seem to get up. My head ached ferociously. Finally I got up and took the lexapro. If I don't take it, I feel terrible. I thought maybe the fact that I hadn't had my meds might be causing my headache. I opened a can of Mt. Dew, thinking maybe it was the lack of caffeine. I took ibuprofen, hoping that would help. The ache dulled enough, I could get up.

Yesterday at the wedding the photographer took LOTS of pictures. I know flashes will cause my head to ache, so I tried to not look. I missed a lot of the wedding just because I couldn't look. The photographer hovered taking picture after picture.

I fixed supper. Weird supper, but hey, it was filling & didn't take much to fix.

I'm still really wiped out & my head still aches. I've read my scriptures, checked out my favorite blogs & now I'm ready to go to bed - again.
