Days End 2007-10-08 22:58:00 Thankfully, today is finally drawing to a close. It just seemed to go on forever.
Today at work was horrendous. I was stuck in the scheduling room with a bunch of morons. Since the manager and one of the two supervisors were out, they decided they didn't want to do any type of work. Even though company policy does not allow us to have any type of personal music playing, they continued to

What’s on your agenda for today? As for me, I’ve got the day off to spend with my husband. We’ll probably end up at the movies. Any suggestions?
Unfortunately, I have to work today. I really don't feel like going in at all. The last few weeks I have been taked off of my job to do another one that no one else wants to do. The reason for
The Attack of the Blahs 2007-11-04 16:46:00 Wow! Do I ever feel like crap today? I have been sleeping most of the day. I am starting to get a cold and that isn't good. Anyone who knows about autoimmune diseases knows that when we get sick, it attacks our bodies before attacking whatever we are catching.
My chest is very congested today. Well, I dragged myself out of bed long enough to post this. I am now going back to bed.

Krystae is normal? 2007-11-03 08:07:00 I got a call from Krysta last night. She had her surgery yesterday morning. For those of you who do not know, Krysta is my best friend. We have been through tons of stuff together. She has Crohn's disease. For her 30th birthday, she was treated to a "lovely" stay in the hospital and a botched surgery that left her with a colostomy bag. She had been having problems with it ever since.

Its a great boost to have others right there along side of you in the struggle. You get to see how everyone else is doing.

Things about Wakela
1. I took Tai Kwan Do when I was in elementary school. I miss doing this. The teacher was really great. However, she was in a car accident and had to stop teaching. My dad tried for ages to find another teacher that I liked, but he wasn't able to. Ms. Lee was the best. I wish my scanner was up so I could scan in a picture of her. :-(

Onion. This woman's blog is full of wonderful ideas. I was amazed at the beautiful home made wrapping paper that she made. There was an interesting recipe for pumpkin lasagna. I am sure that if my mom were still alive we would be eating it. One year she went all out on pumpkin everything. So she would have loved that recipe.

He's Just Not That Into You 2007-11-07 07:19:00 I just finished reading this book this morning. This is definitely one of those books that is great for anyone in a relationship, looking for a relationship, or giving up on dating. There are so many great tips in this book.
It is written by a woman who writes for Sex & The City and a man who is a consultant on the show. It is extremely funny, but it gets its points across.

Things that go bump in the night 2007-11-06 20:37:00 So I created a facebook account finally. My cousins and a bunch of other family members had accounts already. Its nice and easy for me to keep track of family in other countries because of it.
Tonight at work was really bizarre. First off, Z kept talking about her brazilian wax that she had done today. She went into detail about how they do them. Umm... All I have to say is OUCH!!
Later,
blah day 2007-11-05 18:29:00 Well, I totally feel like crap today. I had things to take care of this morning. I ended up running late. They still wanted me to come into work even though I hadn't had a chance to eat all day and it was almost time to close. Grr... Oh well..
I am so tired. My thyroid has been bothering me all day. It feels like there is something roughly the size of a whale lodged in my throat. It is

Rise of Kunark 2007-11-13 15:27:00 Today the expansion for Everquest 2 goes live. I can't wait. I already know how great it is since I was in Beta testing. I can't wait to make my Sarnak for real. I had made a Sarnak named Tarmeya for beta. I will probably use the same name again. I really had liked the way she turned out.Its sort of sad though. Krystae is still in the hospital. So she isn't home for the launch. I just checked the website. They just announced that it will be an hour longer then they originally planned. I might as well go play something else in the mean time.
Somebody Stole All My Spoons 2007-11-12 09:42:00 If you don't know about the spoon theory, you should really read it. Anyway, the past few weeks, I have been sliding downhill real fast. I can barely get out of bed. I can barely move in the morning. I ache from head to toe. I can barely keep anything down in the morning, including my pills.I just want to crawl somewhere and hide right now. I can barely stop crying this morning because of the pain. The doctor's PA told me that it isn't related to my thyroid. So what is it? Why should I be barely able to move? My muscles ache and twitch involuntarily. My face feels so puffy. That I know is from the thyroid. When I do my weekly weigh-ins on Sundays, I also do measurements. My neck is an inch bigger then it was last year. I am thinking that it is because of my thyroid. It feels really uncomfortable to swallow. I just don't feel like I have any energy. I can already tell that today is going to be hell at work. Its going to be a long day that just won't seem to end.

Soap Opera Sunday #1 2007-11-11 14:57:00 So this is my first Soap Opera Sunday
. Each week, they are hosted by someone different. This week it is hosted by Jenn in Holland. The following is a true story, but names have been changed.Let's travel back a few years. The year was 1993. The place was somewhere in the south US. This was a time for risk taking for me. I had moved out of the house for the first time to a town where I absolutely knew no one. It was time for me to find out who I truly was. You have to understand that I didn't exactly have it easy growing up, but those are tales for other Sundays.I found a job working for a small company doing customer service phone calls. Most of the people that worked there were in the early 20s just like me. That is where I met Chad, Robert and Jason. I ended up dating Robert while Jason was dating Sandy. I guess I really clung onto Robert since I was so scared living on my own. Jason, Chad and I all became really good friends. So when Robert decided to move back up n
Weekend Writing Workout #3 2007-11-11 14:11:00 Ok. So I had fully planned on going and doing last week's workout, but I just couldn't get motivated. I have just been feeling really crappy lately. I went to get some labwork done on Friday. We will see what the doctor says this coming Thursday.Anyway, on to the workout. This week The Accidental Novelist challenges us to write A Postcard Story. There was only one person left on her Christmas list. She wasn’t even sure why she was going to bother buying anything for him. Her boyfriend had turned into her own personal Grinch. However, she didn’t want anyone to be able to say that she just gave up on the relationship. She wasn’t going down without a fight. She had put three long years into the relationship. She felt that she had to keep going. She just had to keep trying. She could not believe that she would have wasted those three years. It wasn’t possible. Amy had stopped by earlier today and gave her a book to read. It just sounded completely silly. She did Read more:Weekend

doctor's update 2007-11-10 18:38:00 Ok. I went to the doctor on Thursday, but I just have been too drained to type up about it.The doctor was very happy with the weight that I have lost. Even though when I went to him, I had gained a few back so he didn't get to see me at the full weight loss. Its not that I really gained it back, but I was swollen that day. So I had a ton of water weight gain. By the next morning, the weight gain was gone. Oh well. Anyway, he had me talk to his PA again. She specializes in endocrinology. She had been wanting to put me back on Synthroid for awhile now. So I made a deal with her. I told her that in the past, the had only put me on Synthroid by itself and the main difference that I see between Synthroid and Armour is the T3. So I agreed to go back on Synthroid if and only if she gives me a T3 pill as well. So she gave me a requisition for labs and has agreed to put me on Synthroid and Cytomel. I went yesterday to get the labs drawn. I go back on Thursday to find out the res
what were they thinking? 2007-11-09 21:36:00 Ok. I just had it with people today. I feel like crawling somewhere so I don't have to deal with anyone. All of the people who came into the center today were insane! The patients on the phone were insane! They were saying stupid things and doing stupid things!I swear! I was trying to schedule an appointment for one woman and every question I asked her, she would answer with an extremely bizarre answer. I could have asked her what color is the sky and I bet she probably would have said equilateral triangle or something just as weird. I asked her name and I can't even remember what she said, but by the time I got her off the phone, I was ready to beat my head on the desk. I asked her the name of her doctor and she said "yes". Um.. ok.. Your doctor's name is yes? Of course it wasn't. That is how much people pay attention when you are talking to them. I just didn't want to talk on the phone. That is why when Krysta called tonight, I sort of blew her off. Its not that I Read more:thinking

Friday's Feast #2 2007-11-16 04:58:00 I wasn't feeling really good last week and missed it. But I managed to be back for this week.AppetizerWhat was your first “real” job?I worked at the local hospital at the age of 16. I used to deliver the patients to the different areas of the hospital.

Switcheroo 2007-11-15 20:56:00 If you are looking for a really good read, then I highly suggest Switcheroo by Olivia Goldsmith. She is the woman who wrote The First Wives Club. Switcheroo is not your normal everyday basic romance novel. It is oddball and quirky. There is tons of comedy in it.The premise of the story is that Sylvie has been married to Bob for over 20 years. Their marriage has gone stale. Bob starts seeing Marla on the side. Sylvie finds out and confronts Marla. Only to find out that Marla is a younger version of herself. They look exactly alike except for Sylvie looks older.Marla wants to be a wife and Sylvie wants to find out what it is like to be the bit of fluff on the side. Chaos ensues as they attempt to switch places. Believe, this is definitely a must read.
Thursday Thirteen #5 - Hypothyroidism Facts 2007-11-14 20:56:00 Thirteen Things about HypothyroidismSince this is one of the things I suffer from, I figured that I would put some facts about it. First off, it helps me because I learn more about it. Secondly, its good information for others to know1. The thyroid is a small butterfly shaped gland located in the lower part of the neck.2. Hypothyroidism affects women more often than men at about a 7:1 ratio.3. About 13 million Americans have this condition and at least another 10 million more are undiagnosed.4. Those who are hypothyroid are at a greater risk for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic pain disorders and autoimmune dysfunctions.5. The thyroid gland, which produces the thyroid hormones, is said to be "underactive," because it produces too little thyroid hormone needed for the body to function normally.6. Inadequate stimulation of cells and organs in the body due to low levels of thyroid hormone causes the symptoms associated with hypothyroidism, which is generally a "slowing-d Read more:Thursday
