My Body Tried To Kill Me
It started on Saturday, and I'm just now feeling back to normal today.
I don't know what it was, but it tried to kill me, swear to bees balls.
I felt 'off' Friday and Saturday, then Saturday night/Sunday morning a little after midnight, I woke up and sprinted to the bathroom.
This started my 16 hours straight of vomiting and having vile things come out of pretty much every body orifice imaginable. The vomiting got so bad that I couldn't even catch my breath in between.
Evidently, I was so incoherent and unresponsive that Mister Wonderful wanted to take me to the ER, but I told him I'd shoot him in the face if he did, because I didn't have the money for a hospital visit. So instead, he force fed me G2 Gatorade and just kept checking that I was alive in between my bouts of getting sick.
Averaged about every 15-20 minutes for 16 hours straight. Even after the vomiting stopped, there were other, equally disgusting things going on. Even after that stopped, I was out of it and couldn't hold my own head up. They continued to force feed me water and G2.
I don't remember much of anything from about 6am Sunday morning till some time Monday.
I was damn sick.
I finally ate some food last night. It tasted pretty darn good.
Forced myself back to work Tuesday, both jobs. I have been forcing myself through every step and breath of the day, just to get through. Can't afford to miss the time I already missed, much less any more.
This morning when the alarm went off and I opened my eyes, I laid there and took inventory and was so freaking happy when I felt like I could actually step out of bed without calling upon every shred of will power I had.
Today is a good day.
P.S. Mister Wonderful said "Dammit, you are the hardest damn woman to kill" about my near death experience. He followed that up with "I'll have to adjust the dosage next time"
He's a funny fucker.

TGIF
Of all the weirdness about Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchison, I think it's the bizarre way she is always holding her mouth that creeps me out the most. And the uneven spray tan. Ugh.
My bestie sent me the sweetest card. She is so thoughtful about things like that. I have much to learn from her on such things.
I wonder how many people will go out and buy Glade Relaxing Moments Water Blossoms after reading El Chupacabras blog. Heehee.
My new medicine gives me hellacious headaches. Also upsets my stomach. Hoping those are some of the symptoms that will go away as my body adjusts to it. Because man, these headaches are almost unbearable.
The 'Service Engine Soon' light came on in the jalopy on the way to work today. I don't know what that means. I just had the oil changed and all the fluid levels checked a couple of weeks ago, and they said everything looks great. So what does that mean?? Anyone??
The Real Deal has almost every single bill he's ever had paid off now. He is so good with his money. I'm so proud of him. Talk about working your way up from nothing. And I mean NOTHING. Nowhere to live, no car, no job.....he's had some rough times.
Papoose #1 is going to come home for a semester. She has some classes that she needs to take online anyhow, so she is going to come home and move in with The Real Deal at his new place, go to school and work and save some money. Then I believe she is transferring to A&M. Since Tarleton is part of A&M, all of her scholarships and RL training and position will transfer with her. I truly think this is the right decision for her right now, with all of the things going on. She's worked so hard, and is so far ahead of the game. Of course, as a momma, having her closer has NOTHING to do with that. Haha.
Papoose #2 has cross country Regionals tomorrow. She is nervous. She qualified alone and with her team. Fingers crossed!!!
Papoose #2 also made the coolest white pumpkin and floral centerpiece. I didn't think to snap a pic of it this morning, but will do that tonight and post it. Such a little creative thing, she is. Both of my girls are SO creative. They sure as shit didn't get that from me. I'm horrible at that stuff. I can barely dress myself.
Ok, work time. Have a greet weekend, all.

Medicated is Better for All Involved
Back on my happy meds. Yes, stopped taking them. The umm, errr, side affects were more than I was willing to deal with. But, this is a necessary evil for now. So I started them again yesterday after picking them up at lunch. The world is a better place for it.
I waited in line at IGA for 15 minutes while the pharmacy tech repeatedly called the MediCaid (or whatever its called) office, trying to get a live person to ok one of the dozen prescriptions the lady ahead of me was picking up. After the other people in the line started grumbling and getting incredibly restless, the customer ahead of me finally says "I'll come back for that one, they never want to pay for it!! Why should I pay 10.00 when I should be getting it for free????" Freaking really lady?? Seriously?? My tax dollars are paying for all the shit you have there on the counter, and you can't come up with $10.00 to cover one Rx?? Sell off some of the fifteen earrings you have going the entire length of your ear to make the ten bucks, seriously. Or maybe one of the twenty rings you have on every finger. Chick looked like a fucking gypsy, I swear.
Joe Cocker's voice makes me want to stab myself in the ears with ice picks. Same thing with that black guy with the cocoa puffs on his face that sang that duet with Linda Ronstadt, Aaron Neville. Good Lord. Just heard those two back to back on Yahoo Music. Shoot me.
Mariah Carey has great music, but I always turn it off when it gets to that squeaky squealing shit she always does in every song she's ever made. Bleh. Who actually likes that shit??????
I never proof read this thing anymore. No telling what I throw out there. Same thing with my text messages. I just don't have the time or inclination to go back and change crap.
I used to have a friend that was absolutely MAD about that nasty sphincter muscle sandwich The McRib. I mean crazy in love with those things. Would be so upset every time they took them back off the menu. It was interesting reading yesterday about what those are actually made out of, and what the real reason is, business wise, as to why they are on and off the menu. I like learning new things, no matter how mundane or inconsequential.
I actually had an older female customer say "That's what she said" to me last night at Job #2. I was not sure how to react to a fifty something year old woman saying something that even my youngest daughter has grown out of........
Man, 114 was glowing with red and blue lights this morning. The dps guys had several haulers pulled over, doing inspections all over the place, right on the side of the road, and the Boyd officers had several people pulled over as well. Nothing but lights all the way down my little section of 144 from the light to work. Wild. Glad it wasn't me!! No extra dough for a ticket nowadays, for sure!!
My happy pills give me horrific dry mouth/throat/eyes. This causes problems with my contacts. The dry throat part of it also causes a problem with me even being able to swallow the pill itself. They stick in my throat, no matter how much I drink to try to avoid it.
Shut up Jar. Naughty thinker.
Yesterday was The Real Deals birthday. Yep, he's still five years younger than me! Heehee.
I'm a cougarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, RAWWWRRRRRR!!!
Starting Thanksgiving week, TRD and I will be permanently back at only the Euless location. I'm not happy about that, because I love the other location so much more. I love the store, the customers, just everything better. But, it's time for us to start gearing up for the next location we will be opening, and we have to be at Euless to do that. It is what it is.
I'm off from Job #2 tonight, so we will be going to the farm to work horses. Yay! My kinda therapy.
Have to work now. Nasty habit.
Be nice to someone that doesn't deserve it today. You never know who you can reach with that.
