Fated Strife

Current Mood: Depressed

Yesterday was Adam’s 3rd birthday, so Happy Birthday Adam!

My mom and Derek are throwing him a small birthday party this evening so going to go to that. I’ll try to get some pictures from it.

Angel didn’t get on anymore this week, which sucks. I really hope he’ll be on this morning for a minute even so we can talk some. Hopefully things went ok with the ride-along and stuff.

Cory and I unlocked both Dancer and Scholar jobs on FFXI on Thursday, we decided to level them some, was trying to get to level 10. He chose Dancer so I took on Scholar. Unfortunately Scholar can only use staves, clubs and daggers. I was really hoping to be able to use a sword.

We got to level 7 that night before I had to pass out, hopefully we’ll be able to level some more this weekend or such, if he didn’t run off and level without me

We also finished WotG Mission 2: Back to the Beginning and got the 3rd mission but for now that’s as far as we could go, until SE releases more missions. The new expansion requires a lot of running around, can’t use chocobos or anything really. I sure hope they add those in soon so we can get around a bit faster. Also, a certain character from the Final Fantasy games past makes an appearance in the first and third missions thus far. So even more reason to do them is to see who it is.

My mom finally went to the doctor and was given a steroid shot for her Neurodermatitis which has spread all over her body and face. Then was suggested to soak her really bad foot in epsom salt but that stuff going into the open wound on her foot wasn’t fun.

My week has been messed up as well. My itching and crap is getting bad, I’ve not been able to sleep much, had a few migraines, and the past few nights (especially Wednesday) I have been woken up several times during the night to urinate. It was bad the first night as it would wake me up hardly an hour after I got to sleep each time. Not really sure why its happening now, maybe just an infection, but its driving me nuts. I hardly have any energy either, even when I do get some sleep I am still tired. I know my anemia can do this but I don’t think its back to that point where it made me feel this miserable.

I guess that’s it, I’m gonna try to get some sleep so I can get up and try to talk to Angel. I don’t recall if I had more to post or not but if I remember I can always post later I guess.

Well, where to start.

Angel and I finally got to talk after a week and a few days of not being able to. It wasn’t a great long chat but still was good to be able to have talked with him, though past 2 days were only messages as he had to do some other stuff.

Unfortunately though, due to some problems there he had to get the money back from the tickets so he won’t be coming out here, at least for now. We are still friends so thats a big plus as I was worried about it most of that week. So some prayers or mojo or whatnot for him and his family would be appreciated.

I finally got to shoot my Glock 38 that I’ve had for the past few years. I know, took me long enough. I was able to procure permission to shoot on some county property and it was pretty fun. The first shot, the shell hit me in the forehead but otherwise it was a neat experience. It didn’t seem to have much recoil as the Glock 32 I had. I’m going to try to take it shooting again sometime when I have more ammo with me, and not the $26 pack of my Speer Golddot hollow tip ones. Too expensive to be shooting those for practice when I have a box of 50 or so Winchesters I can use for that. I did have to do a bit of walking through the woods and such to reach the spot in 30F weather.

Mary, Kim, and Heather are coming up for Thanksgiving on Wednesday.

My weight is at 176lbs right now, which I’m surprised I got that low and am staying around that range. This seems to be a good weight for me. I could probably do with 180-190 but dont want to put all that weight back on.

I dont think I’m going to have any problem with losing more weight at this time due to some horrible stomach bug I’ve got. I’m not sure just yet what it is, I thought maybe something I got at Pal’s was contaminated with someone else’s sickness. Salmonella, C. Diff, all sorts of things. It ended up causing some abdominal cramping, diarrhea (which turned green tonight, thus the title of this post), I’ve had low grade fevers on and off the past few days too which may just be coincidence but never know. Feeling pretty lousy now.

Mine and my mom’s internet went down a few minutes ago, so I called to see what was going on. They said maintenance until 3am but it seems to be working now, so was writing this offline but may move over to the site and work from there.

My head has also been hurting quite a bit lately, more so than it had been. These head pains aren’t migraine class, but they occur in the same region as the migraine pain. Which seems to be frontal lobe area, right side. It is a sharp pain, exerting causes it to hurt too at times. I also still have the migraines which are relentless but I’ve been able to keep them under control some with more dark room no noise sleep.. or resting in my case.

To add to this, I have (as some others have too) that I have problems finding words or that I seem to get stuck on a word then lose my concentration. Which can be side effects of migraines from what I’ve read. I am going to have to mention this to my doctor as this is really getting scary and worrying me.

The stomach stuff is something else I really need to get looked at. (not what I mentioned above unless it persists for too long) The reflux, which at times can be unbearable, the dysphagia and odynophagia become a problem when trying to eat. I have done pretty well though after my last stretch and coagulation on my LES. I think this may have been the longest I’ve been without those done so I’m probably past due for the stretching at least.

I’m going to go to sleep before the Lunesta takes me out of it.

Well yesterday we got my new full sized bed in. After spending the morning and part of the afternoon moving dressers, tables, and tons of assorted junk (threw out a desk and a ton more of old magazines, papers, and stuff I have no use for Wednesday or Thursday) and taking an occasional break we got it moved up here.

Unfortunately I have maybe a 1-1 1/2 feet of room between this desk and my bed but enough room for my chair and the cabinet behind me, I’ll eventually get that fixed I guess. The bed is pretty comfy and all but its also pretty high off the ground, the top of it is about 3 feet from the floor. Plus plenty of room for me to roll around on or such I guess.

Talked to Angel today as usual, he had to do some stuff before he got on at 11:00 but finally was able to around 13:45. We talked for a bit about some various things. He got his check cashed and all and the travel place he went to was closed supposedly because the owners house burned down from the horrible SoCal fires. He said he was going to get them from somewhere else yesterday so hopefully he’ll have good news for me this morning.

I’ve been feeling rather poorly the past few days, health wise, emotionally is always down in the depths except for those rare bits of good news/good things that happen. Anyway, I had been feeling weak on Thursday and headache and body aches and some coughing. Yesterday morning around 03:00 I was up and retching my guts out, quite a bit of BRB (Bright Red Blood). I’m thinking the blood is from either my sinuses but more than likely another Mallory-Weiss tear but it seems to have healed up.

Friday I just woke up sore, eyes burning/hurting, head hurting, nose draining into throat, throat sore, coughing like mad, coughing junk up, weakness, etc. Just generally everything, including right ear seems a bit blocked up and hurtful sometimes. I’d sure like to know what I’ve got this time and get it taken care of ASAP.

My abdomen has been cramping pretty bad yesterday and today, had a bit of it Thursday as well but not like it is doing right now. I’m placing my bet on the chinese food I ate at both days, buuut I also had some super tasty popcorn balls and some other junk I’m probably allergic to.

Anyway that’s all, I have to try to get some sleep so I can wake up in time to chat with Angel. Then I guess I’ll pick up some more stuff in my room and try to make it more presentable than it has been though it’s looking much better now than it did.

I’ll upload some new bed and clean room pictures in this post later today or something.

I’ve also upgraded WordPress to 2.3.1, you can find the changes here. I also added a search hi-light plugin, so now when you search it should hightlight the words you searched for.
