Catching Up

A breakup, a heat rash all over my belly, back, and ass, a pit bull attacks Sophie the Puggle... that was all in a week's time.

I've been recovery ever since.

My heat rash required staying out of the sun, there goes boosting my vitamin d, using benadryl, and trying not to itch.
benadryl, might as well be pot for me. it stones the hell out of me. i sit there and stare out to space drooling then eating, but i don't itch!

i'm still all broken out and i go to take sophie the puggle for walk and a neighbor's pitbull charges her and i pick sophie up to get them separated. the pit bull never bit, i think it was more about intimidation and submission, but poor sophie was freaked out. i got all scratched up on top of the heat rash. i hurt for days.

the owner apologized profusely. i did not call it in because the pit never bit, but i told him if one of the kids was walking sophie this would have been very bad. he said they'd more careful with her. their apartment door was open and they were going in and out when she saw sophie walking by and attacked. i kicked the pit to break it up, but it did not work. picking up sophie to break up the attack was the only thing i could think of, thankfully it worked!

work has been crazy, i will be in the office most of next week.

my kid started her job and is complaining, but reality is here. she can't stay in school forever, we can't afford it at all.

b. and i are talking. we are going to be friend's. my co-worker was messing with me on alot of stuff, just making crap up to get a rise out of me. he's like that. i don't like it when people play with other's emotions. i love b. and he loves me and it just got so messed up because other people messing with us. so we are talking and being friends and just caring about one another. he's not my boyfriend anymore, but he's still so much fun to be with.

it's funny how much time we spend planning our lives and then out of nowhere one little thing changes everything and all those plans are destroyed.

flexibility and adaptability are critical in this life!

Mr. Sun I am so pissed off at u right now

my vitamin d is still way too low. so now i have to take 1,000 units a day plus the 50,000 units weekly. and if in 3 more months it isn't normal i have to have a bone scan to see if my bones have begun to thin. that scares the crap out of me. i have been sitting out in the sun a 1/2 hour every day in the early evening exposing as much skin as i can, i have been walking out in the sun every day with as much skin as possible exposed and it only went up 3 points from last time. I am NOT happy with Mr. Sun right now.

I hate fish. doc recommended i start eating fish like catfish, salmon, tuna with oil, my face said it all, doc was like i know u hate to eat fish. i hate to smell them, let alone eat them. they are disgusting!!!! I can't even take fish oil, it makes me sick, gives me a headache afterwards. Can you be allergic to fish?

i got another prescription to pick up and i have to find a vitamin d supplement with the 1,000 units in it! if pizza had vitamin D in it, i'd be set!

30 days no TV challenge

wow, it's been 30 days since i challenged myself not to watch TV. Although I am unable to get rid of the TV completely, my kid refuses, and I still watch DVD's/Movies, I feel that I've kicked the sitting in the front of TV for hours just flipping the channels for no reason.

I've done scripture study. I sit outside when it isn't raining, which means not alot lately. I walk the dog more. I have a clean house. I have been cooking more. I don't feel like I'm missing anything. I never did watch reality shows. And scripted TV is becoming redundant. How many cop/forensic type shows are on TV right now?

TV shows have lost their appeal to me. I check the news, mostly the weather online. I do listen to my music alot. I play SIMS 3 or bejeweled twist. I find everything I need doesn't involve watching TV. I am going to go see the last harry potter movie! And we did buy the Donny Darko DVD, but I haven't watched it yet. Everyone is surprised I've not see that movie. I've heard of it, but just never bothered to watch it. My kid says I'm going to like it. I did like the remake of Mad World, the song, they did for that movie. That's on my ipod.

I've lost more weight. I had gained a little, but now i'm down to 219 pounds. I have no idea why. I am just not hungry. Maybe my lack of vitamin d is impacting my appetite. I don't know. I'm just not hungry and nothing sounds good. And when I do eat, I eat alot less now. It's weird.

low vitamin D

went to have blood drawn to see if my vitamin D is up from a really low 12.2 back in March to a healthier number between 31-74.
The Doc is on vacation another week, so I won't know the results for awhile and i'm out of the supplement. So going to go outside more, which I have been doing since not watching TV. Day 9 of my no TV challenge is in full swing with great success!!!

my kid still watches tv and i ignore it when she watches, but i can't help but notice she watches the same episodes of the same shows over and over again. i mean how many times can you watch project runway!!!! it's stupid how many times she's seen these episodes.

she's working now so hopefully she will be too busy to keep watching them over and over again.

i think i'm going to take longer walks with the dog too. and i need to get ready for my next challenge, no more soda pop!!!! once the dt. soda is gone i'm not buying anymore. this is the year about me and getting myself healthy and free from the bad habits that drag me down. Yippee!!!!

medicated

well, nothing is infected, YET! but my throat is all red and irritated. doc gave me an anti-depressant that should help with my pain and sleep and depression. i think that's alot to expect of one medication. doc says if not better in 2-3 weeks then to come back in. my blood work showed improvements in my chlosterol and tryglcerides, but my vitamin D was low. so the doc gave me a vitamin d prescription as well. i have to take 1 vitamin d pill once a week for 12 weeks then go have blood drawn to see if it's working.

everyone is telling me just go out in the sun more, uh, what sun????
this winter has been dark, dreary, and mostly sunless. and march has been no better, we had snow on the ground friday, yesterday was cloudy, and today is cold and cloudy. i'd go out and get some sun if i ever saw any.

i am so ready for summer, but then i'll complain it's too hot!
i'm never happy with what i got.
