not so good. not so good at all.

i know i have talked before about being super super tired. lately, no matter what time i go to sleep, i can't drag myself out of bed until 1:30/2pm, sometimes even later. and i don't mean don't get up. i mean can't. like when you have the flu so badly that you can barely feed yourself. so that has been me lately, although, once i get up, get a double coffe and make myself eat some cereal, i feel okay. i get work done. just at a different time than everyone else. last night i had a bad headache and after signing up for vonage (which is such a great deal i cannot believe it, so my faraway friends can talk to me for FREE!! even europe and canada. crazy. oh, if you refer people and they get it, you get 2 months free, so let me know if you are going to sign up. end pitch.) anyway, i went to sleep early. got up at 2p. woke up at noon and it took me two hours to actually get up. so then, i get up and shower and get so tired again that i can't do anything. but as an added bonus, i get the heebie jeebies, skin crawling combo with it. so, today, i did nothing. totally nothing.

what else? i have a big boutique order of knitted things (mostly made from handspun) and the owner said (after ordering a certain number of each thing) was it okay to not keep the things she didn't like as much. seriously. so don't order it, then. i spent time and yarn on all of those things that people asked about. it really offended me. the stuff is all really gorgeous (you guys have seen lots of it, most of it.) end bitching.

so nothing to report, other than a bit of sad news. lisa solomon's sweet tabby named moe was very sick and passed away. she has these sweet photos of her little tabby feet and sweet snoot and it made me so sad. it is so hard to lose a pet. you expect to see them everytime you come home, you wonder where they are and then realize that they are gone forever. our black cat egon had to be put to sleep years ago now because he had a huge tumor on his lung and was very sick, and i am tearing up thinking about it. he was such a sweet boy. showed up at our house as a kitten and never left, just like he had come home.

now i have bummed everyone out. great. sorry about that. anyway, clearly, my brain is a bit scrambled due to the migraine yesterday, and my hormones are raging, so everything smells bad to me. i can smell myself, for example. which just rocks. and jake's aftershave smells like bug spray tonight. and i have no appetite, at all. to-morrow i will be back to my usual self. i will skein the 9 jumbo bobbins full of mayhem and tag them, and work on my invoices, and get things done for handmade arcade next month, which is approaching soon.

my legs are all crampy and my nose won't stop running and my eyes are all watery. sniff. sniff sniff.

sorry to be a downer. just keeping it real. ha!

oh, i have been watching brotherhood on showtime...man, it makes oz look like a soap opera. hardcore. jesus.

only happiness to-morrow.

shit, I use to have fibro & migraines that bad....I totally sympathize!

Thankfully=I dont have them like that anymore..I get a few foggy days, but nothing like the complete lethargy/drugged feeling, putting keys in the freezer and turning on burners and forgetting about them...

ick....

oh I have the bionic smell thing with migraines too=wonderful....

Try to take a nice bath with alot of epsom salts and lavender oil if you can stand it... is your stomach better?? are you open to chinese herbs??? if so, I can send you some "culing pills". They are for nausea and upset stomach, and they work=even my "I don't believe in that stuff" husband uses them.
anyway=lemme know.

Vonage=we've been thinking about it but something about the DSL and we couldn't keep the same phone number???? I don't know, but we need to look into it more.

feel better!

lisa, i agree, it is always worth it. it is nice for them to be somewhere nicer...chasing bugs and getting to eat them, but we get to miss them.

it makes me feel better that it isn't just me that gets jerked around. sheesh!

barbe, i am wide open! the antinausea meds i have work okay, i guess, but they totally knock me out. which, when i have a migraine, i don't really care. i am not a herb believer, but i do use raspberry leaf tea for cramps which is better than pain pills. so i guess i am open. any energy remedies?

barbe, also, i think with vonage you can keep your same number. their website has lots of info and then you can call the number anytime for a person. plus, you get a month to try it, so if it sucks, you can ditch it.

pippi...yeah, it upset me because i made a lot of stuff for her that other people wanted. and we all know how sickening it is to feel like we can't make any money on something just sitting in the studio getting ready to go, let alone, ends up not going at all.
