Took a half sick day off work. That's all I'm going to say about that.

Later this evening I decided to give the cats a grooming and bath. They both screamed bloody murder but the grey tabby started to irritate me when he kept jumping out of the bath tub and I'm chasing him around trying to put him back. We did not have a pleasant evening. But a few hours later they decided to make peace with me and they started rubbing against me and purring. That's a good sign.

I'm not celebrating St Patrick's Day by going out anywhere. I often spend drinking holidays at home because I fear drunk drivers and the fatalities. The real reason is I have no friends or parties to go to. I want to change that part of my life. People need friends to do things with...

Speaking of which I'm starting to talk to some people online. Maybe we can met at a coffee shop and play some board games. They seem into sci-fi.

I've got a problem. I spend too much time cleaning and organizing my apartment, especially my kitchen. I spend hours a day making sure things are neat and clean. What's funny is that I haven't done much work on my second bedroom aka office/entertainment/cat room. I usually spend a good friday night or saturday vacuuming, polishing, sanitizing, or treating furniture.

Recovered from the period. Done. It was less severe than most. Friday I started and was feverish pretty much all day. Saturday I didn't want to go anywhere because of it. Sunday I started to feel like going out, which I did.

The cat Dana has a vet appointment at the cat care clinic this Thursday. He's still on his antiobotics and I haven't seen him stooping around the apartment anymore. That's good but he's still going to finish his medicine.

I am planning on going to the Carmel BMV (Bureau of Motor Vehichles) this Wednesday to try and get vehicle registration, drivers license, and state id. I hate being reliant on government issue documentation. I feel that without any id I'd be like homeless in the world!

Felt a little lonely today. I can't believe this month is flying by so quickly and I can't believe Easter is this Sunday. I'm driving to visit the parents in Hammond and my boyfriend is going to join us for Easter dinner. I look forward to seeing him. I kind of miss my boyfriend and I thought about my life and that coming here was still the best decision. I hated the living and financial situation where I was before. Someone at work told me that they bought a condo in the area for 105k with an attached garage and that renting was stupid (those were some nice condos btw). Yes, but the same people who buy are renting while they are single or new to the area. I am not jumping to buy something so soon. I really want to be engaged or married before I move into a house and move into a house with a man and ring on my finger. There is hope. But there are things I need to do to increase the probability of that.


Overate for dinner. I was feeling sick so I ate more than I should have for dinner. This weekend I picked up some ice cream, something new and different. Something that brought happiness to my soul and something that I could only get at certain mexican restaurants.

It was fried ice cream basically cinnamon, honey, tortilla shells, honey grams, very tasty.

Here is a recipe for Cinnamon Fried Ice Cream Recipe which is similar.




While searching the internet for the website I came across an ice cream brand and flavor I'd like to try one day:

Bart's Homemade Ice Cream

Three Geeks and a Red Head: Coconut Ice Cream, Coconut flakes, Chocolate Chunks, Fudge Brownies and a Red Raspberry Swirl.

Just thought that was cool :)

I've been feeling special sympathy for frankprovo because they closed the cheesebuger in paradise near him. I'm so so sorry.

What else is going on? I took some photos of Carmel not too many of my apartment. I took this photos on a little walk around the apartment and town. More to come. I placed some photos on my facebook albumn temporarily. It is a project of mine to get my photo gallery back online and organized, amongst other things!

It's raining right now outside.

Dana is in the hospital again, this time he is spending the night, possibly. They're waiting to collect a urine sample. If they can do so in the next few hours, they'll give me a call and I can pick him up tonight. He's getting pain mediciine and antibiotics. The poor cat was stooping around the apartment trying to pee and nothing coming out except blood. I noticed the behavior a few days ago and he got worst. I didn't notice the blood until today. Correction, I noticed red spots on my bathroom rug but I did not know what it was until I saw Dana trying to pee there. Then he tried to pee on the floor and that's when I saw the red pee. :(

The vet told me that he was not blocked but the symptoms can indicate a good probaility that blockage might occur in the near future. She thinks it will be certain "crystals" and possibly bacteria. A uranlysis must be done to find out for sure what is causing him to do this. He will probably require a few weeks of antibiotics and a change of diet. Looks like the fat cats are going to go on a diet. I am not looking forward to hearing them WHINE when they don't get their fancy feast.

:(

My cat and $160 are in the hospital. At least this time she didn't charge me $70 for the emergency office visit, she only charged me $32 for a revisit. Thanks....

Got a sore throat and am blowing my nose. I think I caught a small cold. I think my immune system was weakened in the last few days from anxiety, stress, and then depression.

This is SICK

This morning I woke up at 6 am to get ready for work. I think most people get up at this time or even earlier to communte 1 1/2 hours to work where I commute only 10 minutes, but still, I'm a baby and disruption in my normal sleep pattern of 8+ hours of sleep really stressed my brain, and I guess parts of my body.

In short, my brain was not fully functional, and honestly, I don't think it reached its normal function until about 2:30 pm today and after 2 cups of coffee and 2 diet cokes. I could not think, remember well, etc!
I only had 6 hours of sleep or less. I woke up a few times. Once was due to the cats making noise, next was a weird dream, the other was just my biological clock.

I had such bad headaches all day, but I did not want to take aleve in fear that it would further inhibit my thinking abilities, which it does! Furthermore, and worst yet, I had a terrible chest ache. It started almost immediately after I took my allergy medicine, of which I have a prescription. I have never had this reaction before except once when I knew that I had like a bad cold and congestion, but it didn't hurt that bad. I felt no congestion this time, byt my left chest ached bad, and is still aching a little. I just dealt with this all day! If this continues, I gotta see the doctor!

Speaking of doctors, I got to see the glacoma specialist tomorrow. I haven't seen in her in over 6 months, and that's not good because I am almost out of medicine, and lately my eyes have been killing me badly, especially after heary meals, like chinese carryout. I'm not blind or going blind (well technically, I have a good chuck of my peripheral vison gone), yet, however, if I do not continue my treatment, I could be.. I'm going to tell her about the eye pains I've been having after certain meals.

I sound like a hypochrondiac!

BTW, my dad is fine. He's taking more gal bladder exams and is recoperating from all the probing and hospital exams. He's felling fine now! It was definately not heart related.

Dad is in the hospital and I don't ever remember him ever being in one.

I'm just about done with my Exam that I need to turn in this Thursday.

Tomorrow they will be doing exams on his heart and lungs, etc.

I'm sort of tied and worried and aloft.

My dad's close cousin, a doctor, tried to explain to me, but I got confused in all the medical garble that he said. He said my dad didn't have a heart attack but chest pains and blah.. blah... but they don't know that for sure yet...
so how do you know he didn't have a heart attack?

They will be running a lot of tests tomorrow on him....

and they will be keeping me updated.

I'm hoping that he will not be scheduled for anything major like surgery and be released. I'd like to drive up to Indiana this Saturday evening and spent the night and Sunday there.

I had a headache and a fever earlier. Instead of taking an aleve, I sat back, chilled, drank a beer, and watched some MTV.

My evening was great. Earlier I had steak tacos, carne, from my favorite local Mexican place (not Taco Bell). Bought my weekly lottery tickets too. The pot is up to $320 million and I want it all!!!!! Hehehehe

I have groceries.I bought two Einstein bagels from SuperTarget but ended up eating them, BOTH. All my ironing is done. My taxes are done.

I watched a few episodes of MTV's Engaged and Underage . I was shocked on how troublesome and confrontational these couples were to each other before their wedding.

I was also shocked on how easy it was to get a marriage license! :0

I'm just thinking about my future ...

I suppose I ought to finish my laundry.. so let me get back to that. Oh the cats both got a bath this weekend! Their fur is nice an clean.

I wish I had another day to myself. Can't believe it is Monday already!!

If I am not on pager duty this Friday I need to get my hair cut and my face waxed!!! I look terrible :( (to myself)
