I know I’d said I’d blog more … but seriously, I am barely hanging on.
Who would have thought that 2 weeks separation for me would so hard considering I’ve done 3 and 4 months at a time … but frankly, not even WoW will hold my attention for too long. I have days when I am good … mostly those are the days when I get up and walk, and get out and DO stuff. On days when I take it easy and do stuff in the house, I end up falling to the bottom and not wanting to get up.
Like today … I had some wine last night, and I felt great. But somehow I didn’t sleep as well as I thought I had … that became clear when about 11ish my back started to pain something terrible. So all the idea of getting out and shopping and doing some chores went straight through the window. On top of that, I got some news … that I can’t really share in public just yet. Let’s just say it floored me. If the reality of being an army wife hasn’t hit me yet, this will do it. Don’t y’all jump to any conclusions …. just take it on merit that it could be worse, but it’s bad enough… for me anyway.
I’ve been hearing people mention that they hate the new FB interface, but I don’t know what’s to hate. It doesn’t feel that much different to me. One thing I know disappointed me was the promise of a live feed which I envisioned to be like a running ticker of activity … but that hasn’t materialized. I know that it would be hard to code, being somewhat technological, but it still was disappointing. It’s a pain to keep refreshing the page … seriously.
I got a call today at about 2 or 3 … boss asking me to work tonite. My first instinct was “WTF – coupla hours notice? what are YOU thinking?” … all I said was “No. Sorry. Can’t do that tonite.” Frankly, maybe if I had been feeling less shitty I might have tried to go out. I mean it is extra money. But I really do NOT feel all that well at all .. at first I thought maybe it was a fever. I had that feeling you get when you have a fever .. but no fever. Just the pain in my mid-right back and shoulders and the monster headache.
I got new glasses … they should arrive sometime next week. As it turns out, I will now be wearing bifocals lenses. Of course, I got the progressive lens so that I don’t LOOK old … but still. That transitioning issue I’ve had with near and far sight is apparently a symptom. Plus, when we compared my now prescription to the one I am getting, it seems as if either my eyes have got 10 times worse in a year, or the old glasses were never good enough. I would vote for them getting worse in a year. I did spend most of 2008 staring at a laptop screen for hours and hours and hours on end while I spent as much online time with hubby as I could muster. So that might have killed them once and for all … nevertheless, new glasses it is.
And THAT would also explain the monster headaches I have been getting. And they have been bad. At first we thought it was allergies … and the new allergy meds DID make the headaches less frequent. But they haven’t gone away totally … and even after getting home with none, as soon as I sat in front of the computer, it’d start on me. So I should’ve known that my eyes had plenty to do with it.
Oh well – such is life … and it can’t stay idyllic forever, can it? Real life tends to come and kick you in the ass pretty hard sometimes. It’s a measure of strength to see how well we hold up after the kicks. So let’s see how much time it takes for me to pick myself up, brush myself off and start all over again (hums the tune in her head) … Mom used to sing that to me when I fell off the bike, or the skateboard, or out of a tree … or whatever.
I miss you Mom.
