I went to bed around 9 last night and had to force myself to stay up even that late as I was tired and ready for bed at 7:30. Hard day mentally, I guess. And I just deleted a whole paragraph explaining my mental fatigue. After reading it back, I decided you didn't really need to hear the details of my pelvic exam. ha ha Long time since I've been in the stirrups and it didn't bother me even a bit. I think you get like that when you're really needing another set of eyes on an area that has become like a stranger to you. Good lord! Am I really typing this? Yeah, I am.
It's 6:40 and I've been up for almost an hour. Still tired but the nightmares were getting on my nerves. Dreams have always fascinated me and the places where my dreams ofter reoccur are interesting too. This time it was the beach along Water Street in PT. There was snow on the ground and a whole lot of activity. I won't bore you with the details.
Got the washing machine running and Pandora music playing on the tv. Think I'll leave off the morning talk shows altogether today as I don't need any more agitation. I plan on going downtown later on to check out the material at Bay Variety. (kind of like an old Ben Franklin 5&10 cent store) I need to find some red and blue material to add to my latest quilt to make it wider. Will probably head up to Joanne's to get the batting. Just hate buying batting. Too expensive! But then, I find everything too expensive these days. Gonna have to stop and fill up at Safeway but at least the price of gas is down a bit.
Jenni continues to struggle getting through a day at work. She had an especially hard day yesterday and even wondered if she'd go back tomorrow. She has today off, thank goodness. Work has been getting harder and harder for her and I'm pretty sure she's gonna quit altogether in a couple of weeks. Maybe even sooner. I'm betting not having to stress over work will help her regain her strength a bit.
MS is such a lousy disease. She was diagnosed around 2000 and all these years she's been okay and just had to deal with fatigue or leg pain every now and again. Sometimes her vision would act up but mostly she was active and happy. This past year, however, has been a real struggle for her as double vision began happening more often and her legs hurt all the time. Then the stumbling and loss of balance started getting in the act more frequently, as did other symptoms. That's the thing about MS -- you never know what course it's going to run.
Heard another friend of mine is in the Bremerton hospital needing heart surgery. (Teresa Pearce) She's had health issues with her lungs for several years. I guess we all wear out sooner or later. Heaven knows my own body has reminded me time and again that carrying extra weight is gonna be something I'll regret. Ha! Like I need a reminder of that!
Am looking forward to the Super Bowl game on Sunday. I especially enjoy the commercials. The halftime entertainment these past years hasn't impressed me all that much. But then it's not exactly tuned in for older folks and I get that. I guess I want Denver to win but I'm not really caring much. I do think, though, that Carolina looked awfully good the last couple of games I've watched them play. They could surprise everyone and come out the winner.
Well, I've got a letter to type to Mary Gaboury in AZ and a crossword puzzle to work on Yahoo so I'd best wrap this up. Plus the washing machine just turned off. (in case you care) ha ha
