Rest in Peace, Mr. Win.  I am only grateful that you had a person who loved you so dearly, who showed you how great life could really be, before you passed.  ❤

Shadow's choir concert...

Shadow's choir concert is Thursday, May 8th, 6:30 at Edgewood Church. He's got a solo! 😃

It's been about a month since I've had my Mirena removed.

I guess I haven't told you all how I'm feeling lately. Still pretty crappy, (generally speaking), though I do have some good days.

I still find myself to be nauseated and battling headaches often, though both are slowly but surely lessening in severity (THANK GOODNESS!). I am also really tired still. Some days I have more energy than others, but for the most part I'm not accomplishing tons of things in life right now. I am behind on housework always and I'm barely able to drag myself to work. I don't even have to work a full 8 hours to feel wiped out, but I'm up to 6 without a nap. I wish I was kidding.

I am also bloated like WHOA and Tums are my best friend. I have all but lost my appetite; however, I feel fatter and blobbier than I ever have. I'm still eating, but usually only about half of my food. It's not intentional - I just can't stomach it. I don't know how / why I'm not losing weight right now. I'm not trying, but feeling like Jabba the Hutt doesn't make me super happy right now.

Emotionally / mentally I'm a lot better, but I do have mood swings with no apparent cause.

Still no sign of my period, either.

I would be concerned about pregnancy, but aside from the fact that it's just not likely if you Google "Mirena Crash" having pregnancy symptoms is up there on the list of shitty ways you feel. So hurray for all that.

All in all it looks like I traded in one set of problems (mental) for another (physical). I'm still trying to take it easy on myself. I'm eating healthy foods, drinking lots of water, and sleeping. My heath insurance kicks in tomorrow, but I don't necessarily feel like I'm bad enough off to see a doctor. If I had seen no improvement by now I'd have an appointment first thing in the morning, but I think my body is working things out and it just needs time. I can handle that.

This is some crap. 🙁

I think I need two giant-sized Thundershirts.

I think I need two giant-sized Thundershirts.  Nappy is trying... scratch that, she made it through the gate, and now she's kicking my door.  Sugar is unhappy in her crate.  I think it would be nice to sleep through a thunderstorm, but doggies say "NO SLEEP FOR YOU!  I need to be held."

That is going to be No. 1 on my list of things to buy soon.  😳

So... last night I got a new foster. 😃

She's an adult pyr and her name is Sugar.  I will get photos soon.  For now she is resting and I'm just letting her.  She is very nervous.  Drooling like crazy.  But she likes attention from people so that's good.  She'll be ok.  🙂

OPI Black Spotted.

OPI Black Spotted.

If those words caught your eye, then read on.

I spent more money than I am going to admit here in public having that thing mailed to me from France, since it wasn't available in the U.S. when it came out.

Well, Shaun found a $2 polish in Wal-Mart the other day that has the same effect.  It's by Fing'rs.  It is called "See Spot Run." It's only available in black right now, but maybe they'll make more colors.  A girl can hope.

So... yeah.  Patience might have saved me some money, but who needs money when you can have nail polish instead?  (I'm just kidding, of course.  I need money, too.  LOL)
