OK...let me get the gross stuff out of the way first.
Question of the Day?? What is almost as painful as childbirth, probably not a painful as a scathing case of syphilis, but hurts as bad as a knitting needle being pushed through your eardrum??
Right!! Passing a kidney stone!! Honest! I am not kidding! Ask me how I know...seriously...ask me! Yep. I think it was as big as a cantaloupe, but I didn't look. I'm telling you...that was an experience I never want to have again. Oh...I mean a flaming cantaloupe...
I looked up kidney stones. It's recommended that a person drink lots of water. I drink enough water every day to float a flaming cantaloupe. I called DR. She said to drink lots of water. OK. Oh, and I may have more kidney stones. Wow...something to look forward to.
As far as work...it was a mother of a day. Remember that 'plumber day from hell??' I had another one. It's my own fault. When I replaced the cold water valve the other day... should have also replaced the hot water valve. Just because. It was leaking, slightly, but why leave a problem. Soooo...I replaced it. Just like the other one...completely. From the outside in. Then...when I slid the unit back in, I heard a crack. I ignored it for a bit, then I looked. The PVC drainpipe had cracked. I'm sure I did it. Sooo...I replaced it. The miracle of this was...that I actually had everything I needed! I still can't believe it. Anyway...that mess is done.
I grouted the ugly tile and that was it. Bobbie painted the ceiling and 3 walls. She had to repair one of the walls in several places. It had water damage and the stucco type shit that is on the wall had broken down...and fallen out. She mixed up a concrete type concoction to repair it and let it sit over night. Tomorrow I will cut plywood. I can hardly wait.
Let's see...what else....Oh yeah, I found a great picture for a letter head. I will smudge the edges and I think it will look great on the ivory paper. It took me forever to find this image. I will put it on some business cards, also. I had used this image, oh, I guess probably 15 years ago, but hadn't saved it. Or if I did, I sure couldn't find it. And I have looked....so when I saw it last night...I saved it, printed it, emailed it, tattooed it....I just like it.( I have also painted it on a skull).
El Dorado with John Wayne is on. Yes, we have this movie. Yes, we could watch it anytime. Nooo!! Let's not watch something else we have never seen....let's watch THIS!!! It's OK...I am busy anyway. I didn't make any jewelry tonight. My hands hurt. And I know they will really hurt tomorrow.
This is how the VA works. Husband got a letter in the mail today for his 'follow up' appointment on October 19th. He hasn't even had the surgery yet. It's not until Friday. Oh well.
It was a beautiful day today. A perfect September day. It was 45 degrees at 7:30 this morning according to the Weather Channel. Definitely a sweatshirt till noon day. Then it got warmer and stayed that way.
I have lower back pain. I think a piece of grit is forming into another flaming cantaloupe!! (According to DR...it could be 'crystals') If it was diamonds I wouldn't bitch.
I think I'll wind down. I need a shower and sleep. And Tylenol. See you tomorrow...

For heaven's sake!!! Don't take vitamin C.
ReplyDeleteNever again!! How funny that you say that...I understood that the crystaline stones (unlike the diamonds that I want) are dissolved in the uterine tract by Vitamin C! Yet, it is not recommended that excessives doses of Vit C be injested. Funnier still...I had decided that I would add more Vit C as good preventative medicine! Screw it...It will only take vitamin P from now on....!!! All I know is, the elimination of a kidney stone is a whole new experience!!
