It's always the end that gets you

As you all (all five of you I mean) know,  I am selling my house. The deal is all but signed and the last check mark to be made are some minor repairs I need to make. So as a good girl I picked a contractor that my insurance company recommended thinking that I couldn't go wrong with the person. I am terribly disappointed.

I have been going back and forth with this company for days, almost a week now, and I have gotten to the point to where I have called other contractors. Now, here's the snag...I signed this contractor's proposal to do the work but have had not further contact with him or his company to set up a time to get the work done. I am under a tight (and getting tighter) deadline.

I am worried. Then yesterday we did some yard work and I think that I over extended my abilities to do manual labor. I got sick. I was weak, exhausted, in pain and had a killer headache and to add to the fun my stomach started to run a muck. I was burping, I was gassy and all kinds of other fun filled painful ways about digestion. The thing is I hadn't eaten since 5pm and yet I was feeling like I had just had pizza and beer in the last hour at 10pm. I was in terrible shape and finally got past the pain to sleep at around 4am this morning.

I woke up feeling like I had been at an all night frat party. It hasn't been until now, literally, that I feel sort of "normal" again. I am looking forward to moving and getting this over with and not doing any more manual labor.

Through all of this my husband has been a saint. He's been with me the whole time because when I get sick I turn into a clingy, whinny "oh my god I'm dying", kinda person...yes...ashamed to admit it but true. So I will now return to the solice of my king size bed and watch Lie to Me on Netflix for another hour or so until I feel strong enough to get up and do something with the rest of the day.

Until next time....

16 days later...

Well, it's been sixteen days since my last post and well I can honestly say that I am totally disappointed. I thought that I would see some sort of growth but I haven't. What's worse is that my nails are so thin and weak that I had to actually cut some of my nails because they tore. Not because they grew. They were weak to begin with but at least they feel a little better. I mean I can now take a shower and the hot water doesn't hurt my fingernails. I am also a bit perplexed at the my second to the last finger. If you look close you can see the part of the nail that had solar on it and the amount of growth but my nail never got longer and this is not one of the one's that I had to trim. Things that make you go hummmm.  So here are my nails. I have been using the Nail-Aid Keratin for 16 days. It says 3 days growth but in three days I saw no growth. I have been receiving e-mails and comments suggesting that I use the O.P.I. Nail Strengthening but I refuse. ...

Change of the guard, nail style

I have had the flu for the past week which offered me the opportunity to spend time with my nails. Turn a negative into a positive, right? Well, after my last post I thought about the products that I was using to try to get my nails to grow.  My Pinterest account  Jennipher Dallas  has been getting a lot of "likes" and repins. My board 'Nails I wish I had'   has especially been getting a lot of attention. One picture in particular has had over 300 likes/repins since my last blog. The picture is of the OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. I did look up OPI and although they do not do animal testing but there is formaldehyde in it.  When you're sick you think about how you got sick and what you need to do to get better. So this got me thinking about the stuff in the products that I use. Formaldehyde has been linked with Cancer . Now, I'm not going to go into to all that stuff and preach about it. Everyone has to make their own decisions. But I decided t...

Dilemma-ethical-uh?

If you google the word dilemma it comes up with the following definition: "A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones." Then goes on to give synonyms like quandary, predicament and vicious circle.  *Sigh* Well, wonders never cease in my world and for the sake of my sanity I hope my five whole readers understand what I am about to spill. Everyone has someone in their family that does not sit right with them (I'm trying to be ambiguous here for a reason). I am no different. I have no real family anymore. Since my father died almost two months ago, I have NO family anymore. Sure, I have a sibling, who is a complete and utter moron. This person is a run away from responsibility, self-centered individual who I have tried to help throughout the years. The other person is a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, gas bag who thinks the world revolves around them and goes out the ...
