Hillary, have you seen this?

I am trying to sleep, but...

I am trying to sleep, but my right leg is hurting like whoa. I didn't do anything to it as far as I know. It's like a deep burning ache and it hurts worse if I bend it. My right butt cheek hurts and the pain in my lower leg is mostly in the front.  I've had this happen to my arm before, too.  I have no idea what this is or how to stop it. Have any of you experienced anything similar?

First thought upon waking:

I shouldn't sleep in this garbage can anymore.

Was I Oscar the Grouch in my dreams last night?  😂😂😂

Yesterday made the 2nd time...

Yesterday made the 2nd time that I found something in my ice water from Jack's.  The first time it was something brown - maybe cardboard for all I know.  But yesterday it was DEFINITELY a bug.

Now I'm sure people eat bugs in all sorts of things all the time, but I don't usually see it so it doesn't bother me.  Like, I wouldn't KNOWINGLY eat something that had a bug mashed up in it or anything like that.

So today I'm doing breakfast at my house.  I have a little coffee pot, some cold water, and some cheese and eggs, and grits.  That's all I need.

Wish me luck.  I hate to cook and I am not good at it.  But I gotta do what I gotta do.  I was nauseated all day yesterday after I found that bug.  My stomach still turns when I think about it.  Yuck.

Today I bought something...

Today I bought something I should have had all of my life:  a step ladder. Why did that never occur to me before?!

Just made this payment to my mortgage company...

Just made this payment to my mortgage company. I didn't know I could pay that far into the past. I shall never pay a late fee again. Bluebird is awesome. 😛

It's a lovely day...

It's a lovely day, but my thoughts are exactly the opposite. I probably should not be left alone with them. There is a rage burning inside me. A delicious, beautiful rage. I am feeling a great need to express it, but not yet. That's ok - my time will come. I feel strangely calm and patient. And quite powerful. I am not alone. I never have been. I couldn't be if I wanted to. They are with me, always.
