Society for the Preservation of My Sanity

...I DO live right beside, within a mere rock's throw, of a cemetery y'know. So it's really, really not that far.

But I'm not there yet.

Had a couple of posts started, but didn't get to finish either of them. Lemme give you a rundown of the highlights...

Corey's 'Stang was delivered yesterday evening, so I gotta get ya some pix up of that (not to mention, he's dying to post some on his site, too!)

I went to the sleep disorder eval yesterday. Disliked the doc immediately. He was rude and rushy. And of course, he recommended that I have an overnight sleep study done. I told him I wanted to wait til after I saw the ENT guy to see what he said about the sinus, headaches/migraines and tinnitus stuff first.

I got my endo appointment moved from the day before Sis's wedding to March 31st. That's great in a way, but it's right before Casey's bday and that's not good. The appointment is for late in the afternoon, which also stinks. He wanted to invited a couple of buds over that evening to sleep over, so I gotta find out if Mom wants to go (in which case we'll be gone a long time & I gotta get Tommy lined out with what to do, etc.) or if Tommy goes with me, then Mom may have to come stay with them til we can get home. Gah.

I still haven't got hold of the ENT place to change that appointment. It's freaky that they don't answer the daggone phone!! I think I may get the main number and try getting through that way. Gah!

I see Dr. K about 6 days before the wedding, which is no biggie since he's right here in town. I plan to tell Dr. G, my endo, exactly how I'm feeling re: more fatigue, more lightheadedness, more trouble concentrating and staying focused... I am about to just toss all the meds, but I'm still hurting. The stiffness and tension is still here in my neck and shoulders, and now it's making a big knot right in the center top of my spine. I can almost feel it inching down sometimes. Sheesh! Something's gotta make this stuff better. And I firmly believe that it's all connected....the ringing, the headaches, the tiredness, the fogginess....it's ALL connected. Just gotta find someone who will see that and investigate. *sigh* I probably shouldn't hold my breath for that.

After Casey's bday, it's going to be rush, rush, rush getting ready for the wedding. Her shower is this Saturday and to top that off, my grand-aunt Mayme passed away night before last. *slight grin* No, I know she didn't do it on purpose. Mayme would have been 105 years old this summer had she lived. She was always smartly dressed and always accompanied by her smartly dressed grandaughter, who's a few years younger than me. I'll have to tell you more about sweet Aunt Mayme later, but the world has surely lost a real cracker jack in that lady. Her funeral is going to be Saturday. !!!!!!

So, during all this rushing to get funerals over with and showers and weddings prepared for, there will be b-ball practices and games, and the constant attempts to keep up with the whereabouts of The New Driver. He's still dong great, very safe, so I am very thankful for that. His 'Stang will need some work before it's drivable. The driver's side strut is bent and that wheel is busted, so that's gotta be taken care of first. He's SO anxious!!!

I'm worried about Mom handling all this stuff. I think I already mentioned it. She's started hacking and just sounds unbelievably tired. She even actually admitted to me this morning that she was worn out. !!! So, it's serious. Casey is with her today. I told him to help her ALL he could!! He's a really good worker when he's down there with her. With me, he tends to fiddle (and I don't mean play a violin!)

Anyhows, Corey's working today. My dad, FIL and Corey just brought me three huge shrubs from a job they're working on. They all have to be moved, so.... I have some big healthy shrubbery!! If I can just get 'em in the ground, we'll be "cookin' with gas" as my daddy used to say. Actually, he still says it, but he always burns stuff when he cooks on the gas grill. LOL.

Okay. I gotta git. I need to get all I can done today. I thought it was gonna be a really bad day because by 10am, I felt like a ton of lead and could have just napped for a few hours, but I didn't. I kept repeating Phillipians 4:13 to myself...."I can do all thiings through Christ who strengthens me..."

I may not be posting much for awhile. You never know, but it's a possibility, unless something happens that throws me into a psychotic rant....oh GOODY! Ha!

Have a glorious and blessed day, friends!
