Still waiting for my application form to turn up, hope it gets here in time for me to fill it out and send it back before i go on holiday on monday (Sapin here i ocome!)

1.31a, now, heaading to bed soon i think. Whoaa can't type straight lol. Oh wait, i'm back to normal now. That was odd.

Better feed the budgie and tuck her in for the night, the light being on keeping her awake can't be good for her.
 
wow, i have been out of it for a while,
I managed to miss united states of tara
 
United States of Tara... a tv show???

At night I like watching old reruns of the tonight show. Or something I've TiVo'd.

I hate the sleeping pills the doc gave me (ambien). They make me see double in the mornings. I already have double vision in the mornings, but Ambien just made it worse. So I quite taking it. Soooooo,... here I am with you again, Court.

We really have to stop meeting like this.

We need sleep.


I am officially requesting pics of your backpack. Would love to see how it is coming along. :)
 
Court, I'm so, so sorry about your headaches. And I do understand. The other condition that I have (IIH) causes excruciating headaches. Ones that narcotic painkillers don't even touch and where I wish someone would literally lop my head off. I'd cry but it hurts too much. When I was in the hospital and had the headache I was on a moraphine drip and it didn't help, at all.

I wish I had something to say to help you. But I don't. I feel really helpless, too, and on days when the headaches are really bad I just curl up in a little ball in my cool dark quiet bedroom and wait sometimes days to weeks until it finally goes away. Packing my head and neck in ice helps a little where narcotics don't, I don't know why.

I wish I could give you a hug. Wouldn't take the headache away but maybe comfort you a little. You are in my thoughts. Feel the warm positive energy coming your way.

<<<hug>>>

Why yes, I do. I aim to be seizure free by the end of 2011. I also aim to be gainfully employed by the end of 2011.

Do you have an aim?

;)
 
As far as life goes not really,
just this side of a mental break,

I miss being healthy.

but yes, i was asking about instant messaging, i sorta needed someone to talk to who has been through on the drugs, been on the same things and has hallucinated to,
 
Court,

I'm on a netbook or I'd just download AIM. But I don't have the processor power and memory for it.

PM me?
 
Hey guys.

Unexpectadly (tried to spell that like 5 times now and it still doesn't look right lol), i have the house to myself tonight. My mum and dad went to visit a friend in another town and missed the train back, so are staying over.

Normally i enjoy it when i do get some time to myself, but tonight i am hearing every little creak and the wind blowing outside and it's creeping me out lol.

12.15am, had a few very sleepless nights, off to wrap my mum's mother's day presents in a minute. Don't know if she'll be back by the time her flowers get delivered tomorrow.

Got to pack tomorrow, going on holiday on Monday, flight is at 6am. Heading to Spain for a week, woot! Also - i had to pay four times as much for holiday health insurance than my brother did! Well, it'd be worth it just in case we do end up in the hospital at some point, but fingers crossed it won't happen.
 
Wow, Spain! Have a great time there Lou. What part of Spain are you going to be in?
 
i am tired now 12:41 am cst alabama now
, but if i am up later, i will talk.
 
Wow, Lou! Spain! Have a GREAT time!

Where are you going there? The food there is so amazing, and so are the beaches. Lucky girl!
 
mom thinks I am a insane
this morning I thought in her voice she said something was wrong the hot water heater,
if I hear it in mom voice that means I get up and check no matter what. So I got up and observered it it. Nothing was wrong, I was going to lie back down and she yelled at me,
 
Why did she yell at you, Court? For checking the water heater? Or for thinking she asked you to?
 
both, because I thought she told me to check it, and I got dressed and I got up to go up and checked it

I thought i heard her say something, and I heard the hot water because she was running her bath water. I didn't see her because she was in the bath room so instead of letting the house or basement flood I got out of bed and got dressed and observed the hot water heater. ye I would have rather rolled over and gone back to sleep. but she taught me better than that. so I check the water heater

I told her what I did, and why I did it, and I got yelled yet.

she left and I cried because I was depressed.

I am so sorry, Court. A lot of the family members just don't know what it's like to have seizures. Still, she didn't need to yell. There's never a call for that.

hugs....
