I haven't been able to maintain an internet connection for several days now. It is so sporadic, and when I can get online I can't even get my email read until I'm getting kicked off again. So much for technology! Aside from being aggravated at the time I've wasted trying, I can't say my life is any different than when I'm online all day long.
I haven't been feeling well lately, and the worst was last night. It's acid reflux that I get now and then. I found some old Prevacid tablets, about a year past the use-by date and took one. Then I took an old prescription that I had gotten several years ago for a muscle spasm in my back. Then another prevacid - all of these with about an hour. They didn't last long and I felt better so was able to go back to sleep. Then the Stompers from upstairs began their nightly antics and I had to use the ear plugs.
(Before I get any un-needed (and unasked for) medical advice, I will tell you that I am aware of the fact I shouldn't mix medications nor should I keep old prescriptions. I hurt too badly to care.)
I think the Stompers probably work in a restaurant or bar setting where they have to speak loudly to be heard over all the noise. They just can't switch it off at 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. when they are sitting out on their little landing smoking cigarettes.
Speaking of cigarettes, I'm getting really strong cravings lately, and I think they are worse when I'm not feeling well.
To top off my night-time fun, the dog got sick, twice. Of course she can't do it in the kitchen or the bathroom where it would be easy to clean up. The second time was at 5 am and I just threw her out to spend the rest of the night on the patio. Needless to say I didn't get a whole lot of rest last night.
Life just has to get a little better, but I'm tired of waiting for better days.
By the way, I finally was able to stay online long enough to post this by carrying the computer, air card, antenna, etc., out on the patio. It's too chilly to stay out here long though, and pretty soon it will be too hot. So I'll say adios for today!
- I'm Tired!
It's been a little less than 24 hours and I sure hope this dog can settle down. They say an old dog can't teach another old dog new tricks, and this old dog isn't doing very well so far in teaching that old dog anything. ...
- It's Catching Up With Me
I was supposed to pick up my granddaughter and be at REI when they open to look for a backpack. She would rather take that to Europe next week than regular luggage. Instead she had to work early, so I went back and crawled into bed, fully clothed! I slept...
- Back In Business
Thanks to all those who wished me well, and I'm happy to say I feel a whole lot better today. It was my own fault. I have never been a big eater, preferring small meals and small portions. Now I'm trying to put on weight while doing a tremendous-for-me...
- A New Toy!
AT&T's air card hit my last nerve this morning, and in a fit of pique I called and cancelled the service as of today. Then I drove to the Verizon store nearby and bought a MiFi device. The salesman loaded the software and got everything set up for...
- I Just Want To Scream,
and cry, and throw things, and fall on the floor - do I sound like a toddler? I called the Vision Care place, and of course after 8 days my glasses aren't in. They told me probably mid-week, next week. Why does it take so much longer to get anything...

It must be the solar flare activity
