Not such a Golden Girl

It has only been a week since I have moved into the new house and already I am laid up sick. This is great just when I need to be healthy and movable. But my symptoms are strange. It all started the day after last. I started getting tired...now I know that doesn't sound like much but it is strange when you get so tired you literally pass out. That's right, I didn't go to sleep or lay down and rest; I passed out. I have never done that and as if that wasn't enough I feel strange. I feel weak and just drained and then I am having bad back pain and my teeth hurt. It is odd. I am not sure what to do. I went to the doctor and she thinks I have a sinus infection but she also took some blood because I also came up with high blood pressure. Boy when I get sick I do it right.
 
I thought I was doing better but now the symptoms are coming back again. Now I get chest pains too...whoot! Joy. Now don't get me wrong, I don't think I am having a heart attack, well at least I hope not but these are feeling I've never had before. Today was literally the first day I was able to get up and put make up on. For those guys out there who don't understand why that's a big deal, I'll tell you. A woman feels sexy or just pretty putting on makeup or doing their hair. When you are drained you have no energy to do anything and that makes you feel worse.
 
I am hopeful that the test will come back and tell me something about what is wrong with me. Oh and in case anyone is wondering why I used the title Not such a Golden Girl, it's because when I get sick I put on the Golden Girls to make me feel better. Well, here lately, and I am embarrassed to admit this, I can identify with them about the subjects that come up. Stuff like menopause and other womanly issues that for years were foreign to me. Now, I am starting to understand.
 
Well that's enough of my whining. I kinda regard this blog as my personal journal and although some people do read it, which is so mind boggling it's scary, I use it as my own personal blah zone.
 
For those of you who do read my blog, and you five know who you are, I am going to start blogs on things other people really do want to read about, other than my personal issues. Don't worry for those of you who like to hear about my personal crap, I will still be posting that too.  So, I would appreciate some suggestions. I don't know what people want read about. So far every time I've asked for comments, suggestion or help...I get no response. Now I know you people are out there. Let your voice be heard. Write me and we can get this party started.
 
Until next time...

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

3 day nail check in

It had been three days since I have removed my nails and coated them with Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps nail covering. Now the directions say to take off the polish after three days and restart the process all over again with two (2) new coats. When they say that you need to remove the polish after three days and start over, they mean it. Here is what happens on the third day, prompting you to remove the polish. My nails with the initial tear on the polish. The polish starts to lift and tear off. It started with a small uplift on the side of my nails and I pulled off the rest. Surprisingly, the whole thing came off without having to use nail polish remover.The problem with that, though, is that my nails underneath are still very thin and weak.  In this picture the nail is bent. It's a little hard to see it but I am bending my nail. The weak condition of my nails has continued and I see no real change to them . The next picture is of  the top of my nail, showing the te...

It's been three months....

Okay it's been three months since I started this journey. I had decided to stop being a slave to my fake nails and go all natural. For better or worse, I wanted to stop putting so many chemicals in and on my body and just let nature take it's course. Having said that, I knew I was in for a rough ride. For starters, I have been wearing solar/acrylic nails since I was sixteen years old. I now have a 16 year old daughter of my own, so you do the math...I will not help.  Anyway, The first two months were hard. My nails were so thin and weak that I could actually bend what little nail I had backwards without pain. So I cut my nails down to the quick and decided to start new. I first started with using Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps but found out that they have formaldehyde in it. So I changed. I over to Nail-Aid's Keratin and 3 Minute Artificial. It is made in America and does not use formaldehyde and does NOT test on animals.  So, I saw little to no improvement...
