via Facebook... Finally lost the headache, went shopping, slammed my head into the edge of a glass display case when shopping. At least it's now a different headache....

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Headache, day 4. Trying KT tape, tomorrow I'm just going to the doctor to beg for relief. Retail therapy was a nice distraction. No shoes (sorry Ashley) but cozy pajamas and some exercise stuff.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... AH! Forget Python, my headache has been cured by The Reduced Shakespeare Company Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged! My brain doesn't feel like it's exploding from my head, watching this play shrunk it down... Wait...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Okay, I tried sleep and meds. My brain is still too large for my skull, and there seems to be a knife jabbing into my crown, and they won't let me drill a few extra holes to release the pressure, so on to Plan B... Burritos, beer, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Good for what ails you.

via Facebook... I am awake at an hour not meant for humans to wake. Maybe to be heading to bed, but to wake? Any hour starting with an "F" is right out. I'm not fond of the "S" hours, either.

via Facebook... So...tired... must sleep.... I think I may be too tired to sleep. Maybe not. Won't know until I try.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Awake. Sore and a bit achy. Luckily I start pt today, so I'm looking forward to not feeling sore and achy and hurty sometime in the future.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Okay, to sleep. One thing about living with a toddler? No trouble falling asleep. Just watching her makes me tired!

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Amanda is learning that the way to a dog's heart is through her stomach...well then, I'm not to blame when Misha eats off her plate... She can spoil my dog, but I get to spoil her kid.....Muahahahaha!
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... The eternal Abigirl dilemma: "Do I shove all these frozen blueberries in my mouth and get the brain freeze? And then cry and grump while shoving more frozen blueberries in my mouth? Or do I wait for them to warm?" I think we all know how this is going to end...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... My head hurts. Stupid rainy icky day. Abigirl needs rain boots, maybe jumping in mud puddles will rescue an otherwise gray day....

via Facebook... Confirmed! My brain is there, and clear of problems. Physical ones, anyway :)
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Amanda: "I was going to make a sandwich but I couldn't find the bread..." Darlene: "Did you look in the...BREAD BOX?"

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... So...MRI tomorrow to check for the brain aneurysms. Tomorrow morning. Early morning. I don't have to study for this, do I? I can leave my brain asleep? Because neither it nor I like early morning...

via Facebook... Note to self: nine plus hours driving will kill my back. Glad I start pt tomorrow! Also...I like toddlers. They are fun!

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Also, I've done four days of this low sodium thing and my bp has actually gone up. I will return to eating all the salts. See, being contrary and ornery is in my nature. I can't help it, I was born this way!
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Getting up...going to pick up my new house guests, Amanda and Abigail! Devin will follow next week. This is the third time someone has moved in on March 15, for those of you keeping score. And the fourth time, overall, that we've added to our household. I really need a bigger house! Very excited. I'll have someone to read all my kid's books too! Okay, got to go shower, break up kitty fight club (ssh, don't talk about it), and feed the zoo. And hit the road. So...toddlers are super easy to live with, right? ;)

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Sore, achy, but spring cleaning is about done! Also Project Down-size is in progress.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Yesterday's sodium intake: 920 mg. Food seems to either be ALL THE SALT or have so little to be negligible. Odd. I had to work at getting it over 500 without getting it over 2000 :) Girl Scout Cookies helped!

There's not even the slightest chance that all of the stuff you're saying is a load of old hooey, or that you have such a dry sense of humor people often walk away from conversations with you shaking their heads as they mentally replay what you just said to make sure they heard it right. You're a straight up guy (or gal), what you say is what you mean. You are pure of heart, and sound of vision and everyone loves you. I'm not even kidding. They ALL do. We do too. You're AWESOME." http://ift.tt/1nkmV7c

via Facebook... Well, off to a sleep study. No idea if I will have the interwebz, so if I don't see you tonight I'll catch up with you tomorrow morning :)
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Hmm. Apparently Steve's job will also do our taxes. For free. #oilmoneyrocks
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Nephrologist today. Upped the P meds a bit, scheduled for an MRI next week to check for brain aneurysms. Kidneys are not much more enlarged than a few years ago, so looking okay! The goal is to make it long enough that they can 3D print me a new kidney :D

via Facebook... So I turned to The Teen and I said, "Teen, I feel like crap. My head feels funny..." The Teen just stared at me. Then I got it... "Oh hush, don't even say it, I can't believe I walked into that one!" The Teen smiled and said, "My work here is done." #sarcasm
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I have ALL THE THINGS TO DO and yet I feel like ick. I told The Teen I was feeling a bit queasy. He replied, "Oh, did you accidentally look at yourself in the mirror?" We speak fluent sarcasm here. He earned a solid ten for execution.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... First: I'm still awake. Lists are being made, plans being planned. Brain is busy braining. Second: the serving size for Girl Scout Cookies is one box, right? Because anything else seems silly...

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I'm pretty sure there is a box of Girl Scout Cookies screaming my name right about now....
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I have ALL THE THINGS to do, but I have little energy to do them. Food. Food is needed.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... So Byrum's Sparkle & Shine came out today to clean bathrooms and help me get started organizing my kitchen cabinets...great job!
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... *sigh* I have a bunch of kitchen cabinets emptied. Which means I now have to sort, throw away, and reshelve. *sigh*
Friday, March 7, 2014
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Okay headache, you've made your point...you can go anytime. Feel free to leave.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Thank goodness I had Byrum's Sparkle & Shine over today! My kitchen is sparkling, my garage is cleaned out, and having a horrible headache did not ruin my day. They rock.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... YAY! No herniated disc! BOO! Likely a joint issue in the hip. YAY! Cured with PT! And not being a dumbass who bends over to lift heavy paving stones. Start PT next week. And start Pilates today, with Pilates with Priscilla. Next week...massage.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I am SO TIRED! ENT today, got my sinuses scoped. Tomorrow ortho. Trying different allery meds so I can actually lay down to sleep and not keep waking up coughing... Next week I see the nephrologist, the eye doctor, and get a sleep study.

via Facebook... Toe Update: When you are pulling off the tape and don't realize you are in the process of losing the nail and so you pull and part of the nail comes off but part stays attached? Yeah, that stings. A bit. It's only a flesh around. I'm going to sit in the corner and cry and maybe do a shot or three.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Things to do, but a cat has appropriated my lap, so now I am helpless.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I'm cleaning out the house in preparation for some long-term guests, and...and...and... *sniff* I think I might have to...get rid...of some...books. There, I said it. I mean, do I still actually need the books from 5th grade homeschooling? Considering the Teen is now 18? *sigh* I need a bigger house...

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... So a friend of a friend was looking at dog rescues in MA, and got this back from a "rescue": "Here at xxxxx rescue, we require a "holistic" approach be used by all our adoptive families. This includes: 1. you must agree to feed your dog a raw food or homecooked food diet 2. you must shop at smaller pet stores, not big chains 3. you must agree to clean your dog's teeth professionally or with the product we sell on our website 4. you must use supplements to boost your dog's immune system. this includes grapefruit seed extract, vitamin c, probiotics, and multivitamins. you can purchase these at whole foods, or on our website. 5. you must agree never to use lawn fertilizer, pesticides, or commercial flea/tick products. instead you can use cedar oil spray or essential oils. 6. you must not "over vaccinate" your dog 7. you must have a fully fenced in yard. We sell the fence we require on our website." This is utter and complete BS. I'm trying to find out the name of the "rescue", but even the most hard-core breeder won't make you buy a fence from them, let alone everything else on the list. This SCREAMS scam to me, and I wonder if it's a puppy mill pretending to be a rescue...
