Only drugs and nothing more....

Once upon a mid-day dreary, while I lay here weak and weary. Over many blankets I had let fallen to the floor. While I laid down nearly napping suddenly there came a tapping, tapping at my bedroom door. Tis some visitor rapping at my bedroom door, not just this but something more.
Ah distinctly I remember it was in bleak November and each separate dying feeling keeps my spirits on the floor. Eagerly I wished my sorrow would not linger on tomorrow and from my purse surcrease my sorrow, sorrow for my local drug store. For the 24 hour opened, heroic, local, fully stocked pharmaceutical store. Only this and nothing more.
And the sulky, sad, uncertain rustling of my open curtain
Chilled me, filled me with uncertain feeling never felt before
So that now to still the beating of my heart I stood repeating
Tis some new prescription I am needing
Some new antibiotics I am needing
keeping me from falling on the floor
Only drugs and nothing more.
Presently my flu grows stronger, hesitating now no longer
'Virus' said I 'Flu it's your absence I implore'
The fact is I was happy, and so healthy, romantic, sappy
and so rudely you came banging, banging on my immunity's door
That I was sure that I knew that you were smacking on my body's door.
I need drugs and nothing more.
Back into the bedroom, hurting, my heartburn inside of me burning
soon I slipped into the my sheets returning
returning to my pillow's soft and ample core
For the cool and wonderful feeling
of my bedroom I adore
Feeling better I am sure
I get a little slap happy when I get sick so I thought this little ditty would cheer me up or at least make me feel a little better. I am on the tail end of the flu but I am still weak and tired. It's an odd feeling. I don't "feel" sick but I don't have enough energy to go to the store. I use it all up through the day for restroom breaks and showers to wash off the virus scum I feel all around me. I am hoping to feel my old self at least by Friday. This sickness is going into its fourth week. I managed to keep myself healthy and out of the doctor's office for six months...this is an FYI for all of you out there who think that I am consistently sick. I will keep you posted on my healing process.

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 ...

Day 6 Shake Day

This is day six and although there wasn't anything really eventful about the day there are updates to be shared. My husband and I have noticed that we are sleeping better and waking up with fewer aches and pains and issues. Now, we are not sure if that's because of the weight loss or the cleansing that we are going through. Also, I have noticed that while studying for my LSAT I have more focus and ability to analyze better. My exercise stamina is better. I did workout again at the gym but I am winding down. I am only doing 45 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes walking. No extra bike ride tonight. All in all, we are getting used to the program and feel that we have benefited from it. We are also going to continue try to reach our respective goal weight. Our next purchase will be the 30 program which we will share. Since it cost $200+ each we are trying save money by just splitting it. I will keep you posted and on Tuesday of next week (August 16th) I will post our 9 day pr...

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...
