Back...

Back again...

I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since I wrote...I guess health issues took over more than I realized. Life has been turned upside down with everything I've been going through. Just when I thought I was on the upward swing for good health, my leg issues has started up again now that I'm off my meds. It's dicouraging at best-at every level.

Japan

Today is a day of reflection...with the 8.9 earthquake in Japan and watching the news and seeing all the devastation-how can one not reflect. One minute you are working or chatting a friend and in the blink of an eye, you could be buried under rubble and or water/mud.

Hollywood

Well, "Hollywood" is in the news big times these days-the Oscars are coming on Sunday so that makes for "news". If that isn't enough we still keep hearing about Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen. Lohan has quieted down this week and Charlie Sheen is in the forefront of very disturbed Hollywood stars. I came to the conclusion that the reason his TV show was a hit is because he wasn't really acting-he was getting paid enormous amounts of money to show his real life through his character. His character who is off the charts unbalanced actually is more balanced that the actor himself. I'm glad the producers have finally manned up and pulled the plug from the show-I feel bad for the other cast members. but I'm tired of seeing people getting rewarded for their inappropriate behavior.

Enter at your own risk...

A friend of mine posted a photo of a sign he saw : Enter, and assume all risks now & forever....I was thinking that should be read to a baby just before it enters the birth canal-some would cry out "please don't make me go God" others would say, "bring it on"...I guess it all comes down to a matter of choice in life doesn't it?!

Make it a good day!

Grrrrr

I am so upset with my doctor...I have been suffering(and I do mean suffering) with a combination of hives and eczema. Against my better judgment I broke down and went to see a doctor. I have no health benefits so all expense is out of my already thin pocket. $63 later he told me to do what I had been doing...never even addressed the sinus infection we discussed...2 weeks later my sinus infection is worse and my skin "outbreak" is worse and I'm just plain miserable. On Wednesday I called to see if I could get something for the infection and I specifically stated I had an appointment and wouldn't be home after 11:30am - no call. I got home around 3 and had a message, someone had called 12:30. I called again and left a message that I'd be home the rest of the day-no call...no call all day Thursday. Yesterday I got a call at work and then a call back saying they would fax in a prescription for an antibiotic for me and for the telephone consult I would be charged $27 !! What consult? I never spoke to the doctor...needless to say my stress levels have risen and the itchy side affects have worsen today. All I can say at this point is Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Life is...

Life is what you make it...that's what they say and to some degree I agree. Sometimes circumstances of life get in the way of what you make it, even then I suppose we are to rise above it. It can be very hard sometimes to rise above it when you feel the weight of it all and you are bone weary. The key is to always have a positive outlet-note I said positive. It is all too easy to escape by means of a chemical sedative but that just gives a temporary escape and over time just creates new problems. So having said that...let's try to make today a good day and leave yesterday behind and tomorrow until tomorrow!

Alas...

Alas, I see it has been a month five days since last I wrote...hmmm, I've been writing in my journal, just not blogging. I fear I write for naught, no one seems to read my blog anyway. My friend Steve is way to busy and Deb, she's just too busy with her own "stuff" and as far as I know, no one else has ever read what I blog. There are so many blogs out there, mine just gets lost in the "crowd" - oh the inhumanity of it all, the world is missing out on all of my wit and wisdom-maybe I should change the name of my blog to that - "Wit and Wisdom", hmmmmmm
The joys of getting older chapter 1735 - stress causing hives...started as a reaction to too many scented soaps and lotions and worsened by stress. I know stress is a factor because they were finally starting to clear up and after getting some upsetting news last night I was awakened at 4:30 this morning with extreme itching and I see new spots-more correct would be-feel more and new spots.
Was I ever young once, if so it's becoming a very fleeting memory.
Since I am a basket of cheer this morning, I guess I'll leave you with these ramblings and face the day of new challenges.
