Sleepless in T.O.

by

I just had the worst night and day that I’ve had in a long long time. I never went to bed last night. I was just in too much pain.

Being in pain through the night sucks. It’s a regular occurrence.

I ended up staying up trying to get a few things done on the computer, almost caught up with my email and read a forum that I visit daily for a few hours.

When I did finally try to go to bed I lay in bed in a semi-state of sleep. You know when you are hovering at the point of just about falling asleep but you are still very much aware of time passing and of what might be going on around you. You know, things like the phone ringing about 6 different times, big noisy trucks rumbling by outside and so on?

It wasn’t until maybe 2:30 pm that I finally fell asleep and of course at 2:45 pm my husband called from work to tell me something. He couldn’t get me so he called four times in a row before I finally realized whoever was calling wasn’t giving up. So I got up to answer the phone and told him what was going on.

Now it’s a bit after 6 and I’m up. As I should be … but man, I didn’t really get any sleep.

Yours truly, sleepless in Toronto





I need a weeks worth of sleep

by

Honest. My Green Thumb posts are coming. They are!! I just had to get a few things done on my sites first.

I’ve been kind of out of it today. Trying to get some work done but not really being very productive. I sure hope that I start feeling better tomorrow. I think it might be a very busy week for me.

I’m just going to do a bit more work and then try to get to bed for a good sleep. Perhaps if I get a little more sleep than I’ve been getting lately I’ll hold up a bit better throughout the day.

It’s awful feeling like you are in a fog, all the while being in pain.

I think what I really need to do is sleep for a week solid. Nothing but sleep. Perhaps getting that much sleep would reset my pain receptors and turn around this horrible crohn’s flare? I’m willing to try it!

If anyone knows what the potion was that sleeping beauty was given give me the recipe!

Stupid karaoke neighbors

by

I’m so angry right now.

My karaoke neighbors are at it again!

My neighbors are having a party. That’s fine. We have parties too.

My neighbors are having a barbecue. Fine, we have them too.

The adults are outside and the kids, or mostly kids, are inside. Guess what they are doing? They’ve turned their Karaoke machine up full blast, which I swear the speakers of face our house walls, and they are singing the most gawd awful songs I’ve ever heard.

My house is vibrating. I’m vibrating I’m so angry.

I’ve phoned the house to ask them to turn it down but no one answers. They probably can’t hear the phone. I’ve called out to the adults outside to ask them to turn it down but they can’t hear me either and I’m feeling way to ill to wander into their yard. They’ll only offer me food anyway if I go over and ignore my pleas.

I’m feeling ill and I’ve been working hard to get a bunch of articles done all day. This is extremely distracting because it’s so loud it’s like they’re in my living room.

Oh yeah. I finished my articles for one site and just tried to hand them in right now. They were due on June 9th. No time is listed at all in the campaign offers. Well guess what. They must have gotten canceled. I’m assuming I went over the time limit, but if they don’t give me anything that says what time they are due I assume that they are due by midnight. Right?

Shouldn’t they have sent an email or something with a time limit? I know I’ve gotten those in the past on offers … but campaigns? Either way – it only said June 9th – no time was written down or counting down … so now I’m ticked.

I put in a support ticket, but I’ll bet there’s nothing they can do about it now. I’ll bet as soon as they got canceled by the system they went back into the campaign marketplace. So, if anyone just got a nice $100 or $25 offer … well that was mine!

!@!@$#%$^&^**&((%&%^$#$@!

This is how neighbors end up feuding or worse.

I don’t think the police can do much about loud noise at 9 pm but believe me … at 11 pm or 11:30 whichever the law states that noise must be reduced … if they haven’t stopped I’ll be calling in a complaint.

Of course I’ll have probably pulled out all my hair by that point too.

I need a holiday

by

LOL ok in light of what I just said below I think I’m definitely going to plan at least a weeks holiday in the near future. I really think I need a break.

Perhaps I’ll look into one of those Virgin Island yacht charters … well if I come into a lot of money maybe I will. I think it’d be too hot to go to a Caribbean island or another warm location at this time of year.

Perhaps I’ll just rent a cottage for a week in Northern Ontario. That’s more my cup of tea anyway. I haven’t been camping or canoeing in ages and I really miss doing that.

I grew up having a cottage and we went there pretty much every weekend throughout my childhood. I really miss not having a cottage to go to anymore. Hey, maybe what I should do is look into buy a cottage instead of just thinking about renting one. Yes I know cottage properties are pretty darn expensive, but this half city half country girl could sure use a place to retreat to every now and then.

A bit of extra energy?

by

Oh I almost forgot! In my last post I mentioned that I got together with family last night. My sister brought me a little gift. She wants me to try a new Energy Supplement to see if it helps make me feel any better.

This one sounds like it’ll give me more energy than I really need at this point.

I’d just be happy to feel a little better since my Crohn’s has been acting up very badly over the last two weeks or so.

I promised her I’d try it, and I always keep my promises … so if I’m speeding around tomorrow it’s here fault! LOL
