it didn't kill me (but it might yet)
Well, I made it. I didn't roll around in the parking lot crying and kicking while Corey took (and passed!) his driver's test on Monday. I was calm when he went in to get his picture taken. I was cool while he drove us around for the rest of the errands we had to do...namely check insurance prices and options. *whew*
Doin' good, right?! Right!
Yesterday, I went to see Doc K again. He's setting an appointment for me to see an Ear, Nose & Throat doc. I guess that's good since surely a specialist will be better equipped to deal with this tinnitus thing. Aside from checking on how the new anti-depressants were doing, he put me on Ske|@xin for the constant muscle spasms in my neck and shoulders. I can already tell it's helping. Praise the Lord for that! WOO! He also put me on Top@m@x for the headaches.
I haven't had time to research these new ones yet, although I do know a bit about how the S works. My sis takes that often (fibromyalgia) and she has taken the T as well...I don't know if she's still using that or not, though. Anyhow, I don't quite understand how the T is supposed to work because he has me taking one at night for a week, then two at night til...? Next time I see him, I guess.
After having about three days with barely any problem from the nasty headaches, they came back as vile as ever. *sigh* It hasn't been constant, but definitely multiple times a day. Gah.
Anyhoo...so today. Today I lived through my New Driver going on a grocery run for me. He also stopped at a place where he'd put in an application to find out if they were going to be hiring or not. He called to tell me he'd be putting in at W@lm@rt, but when he got there, their application machine was broken (duh...when it's sitting out where every little kid or malicious teen has access to it??!) so he didn't do that. So, they didn't have ANY ice cream at The W except for the outrageously expensive kind, so he made another stop at the little grocery near the house and picked that up there.
It's hard to describe the feeling of seeing him come up the drive all by himself, even though he's done it a million times after trips to my mom's and back. Just knowing he'd been in The Belly of The Beast, right in the middle of downtown traffic....during Spring Break!! (why did noone tell me it was spring break?!? I never know this stuff!) Well, obviously, I was relieved, proud, melancholy and a bit frightened.
By the way...now he's gone over to his buddy's house. *sigh* I dunno if I'm gonna like this New Driver thing or not.
One thing's for sure....I surely don't like the insurance bill we'll be getting. OUCH!!!! But at least It didn't kill me.....yet.

WOW, you seem to have some random teenagers hanging around, up to no good! Better kick them out!
I took that migraine med before. It did work for me. I hope it works for you!
Well, at least on the days that you don't feel like going out, you can send C!
Oh, WTG for not rolling around in the parking lot crying and kicking while Corey took his driver's test! LOL
It's SB there, huh? I don't think it is here yet, as I see buses running. The only time I pay attention to the PS calender, is on Tuesdays, to see if they cancelled for snow. If they did, no piano!

Yeah, here lately it seems there are always one or two (if not MORE!) of those scaliwags lurking around! Hmph!
So Tp@mx is an actual migraine med?!?!? I didn't know that. (obviously, I have yet to research! Gah!) Better get that done, eh?
Yeah, it's kinda sorta nice having C be able to drive alone now. I didn't die at all yesterday and he's been out again today (to help some numbskull fix a flat!?!?!?!) and I ain't dead yet. Woo!
Thank you.
I'm same way about PS. I never pay attention. When they had the Upward ballgame to make up, I was told "Friday at 8", so I reasonably asked, "AM or PM?" The guy said, "PM! Like we're gonna have a 8 am game on a Friday?" Not snotty, but I informed him "Hey, we homeschool so I never pay attention to that kinda stuff...", laughed and left. Gah. It would be really strange to have to live by that kinda schedule now. Been so long ago!! LOL!
Hope it's sunny at your place today! It's gorgeous here. Ahhhh!

Hooray for the new licensed driver! I am SO not ready for that yet! Doing good, Geannie!

*applauds* You go rid of him, AND turned it into school work!
Posted by: Member Linda | March 17, 2006 07:12 AM
LOL, Abby. Yeah. I AM doing marvelously well considering my shabby mental state of late. ROFL! (is that maniacal laughter?) ... (wouldn't YOU like to know!)
Seriously, he is doing SO good, I'm really proud of him. (you readin' this, you hooligan teens, so dear to my heart? ;)
When he had to take Mr. Forgetfulness back to the gym to get his jacket the other NIGHT, Mr. F came back just full of praise about how well his big brother did. ??? Now, THAT says a lot. Of course, how much a twelve yr old knows about good driving I couldn't say, but we'll take it. LOL!
I guess since he's laid out all the money for the car, having to pay for the insurance, etc, he's much more motivated to be safe.
Thank God for that!! :)
