You have no idea how fast you

A

ctually lose muscle tone unless you are forced (by circumstance of disease) stay in the gee dee bed all gee dee day for an effing month.

I found out yesterday.

I actually can't remember when all this shit happened. I tried to go through my blog history & find out but DUR, I was off the pc for about a month after I first fell, so I have no idea.

I'll guess around the 15th of March?

Whatever. What was I saying?

Ok, yesterday we went to get Evan's "Driving Laws" book or whatever so that he can study & get his permit. It's about 30 miles away one way. So I called MD Thursday night to ask if she wanted to go because I had said last month I'd get her something from that town.

Anyway, whenever I plan to go anywhere with MD, it NEVER FAILS that I a) Feel like shit the next day or 2) Don't sleep at all. So I didn't sleep at all. I didn't care.

I lost last month's (March) meds because I took all the shit off my bed to wash not only the sheets but the egg crate thingees that I have on there. Anyway, I just pulled all the shit off instead of moving the stuff in an orderly (logical) way because I was tired. So I haven't had my xanax since I lost it. (Which is probably why I can't fucking sleep) I did have my Anti depressant (YAY!) because I switched from the effed up one (the one that, IMO, caused my current exacerbation) to my usual one this month again.

So

After having no sleep for at least 24 hours, I drove 30 miles.

Then we went to Unclaimed Baggage and I swear to God I had to rest every 15 steps or whatever. I mean, I knew I was having trouble getting up the stairs but that could be because my damned "normal" knee is fucked up now & I can't straighten it all the way.

Whatever. The good news us that I found some eyeglass frames for $5 so after paying Wal-mart for a new prescription I can get them to put the new prescription in the new (to me) frames for about $20 instead of spending $200+ to buy all new glasses that I'll have forever.

Seriously, if I hadn't knocked the nose guards off these glasses falling down the damned stairs I probably wouldn't get my eyes checked. I've had these glasses since 2004. I really don't think my eyes have changed that much...

Whatever. I was so tired by the time we left UB that I didn't even care when Mommy Dearest suggested we go to eat @ Western Sizzlin.

So we went there, where I proceeded to get all the way back to the table before dropping my tartar sauce (which is the only thing I could carry & still move my walker). Evan had already followed me along the hot bar, gotten my plate & taken it back to the table by then. Our waitress volunteered to go get me some more. She filled up an entire dessert bowl with tartar sauce?? Mkay...

Then we went to Wal-Mart in that town because it's cheaper. Unfortunately, I forgot about last week's tornadoes in that town which apparently caused everyone to go shopping for charity (or whatever) & Wal-Mart had half the food & shit they normally have. I mean, it's still plenty for US, but it just looked so bare.

Blah blah.

Then we drove home (another 30 miles) and I borrowed some xanax from MD.

I took one dose, which knocked me the eff out. I woke up @ 6 pm.

Don't remember when I fell asleep again, woke up @ 3 am, Evan came downstairs to get on the computer & show me his new headphones @ 3:30 am. He (apparently) traded with that boy (the one that traded Evan the bike & then traded it again to get the bike back & ended up giving Evan a lava lamp & a video camera for the damned bike that he originally traded to Evan the 1st time) again and he ended up with a 30 lb weight & some good ass headphones. I mean, they sound great on the iPod. Unfortunately, we can't tell what brand they are. :-(.

So, yeah. After listening to a few songs on the iPod I fell asleep again & woke up @ 9 am this morning.

Yay.

As long as I can stay up til at least 9 pm today, I should be able to get to sleep tonight & all NIGHTS until Wednesday when I can finally order some more xanax from the pharmacy & build up a tolerance to it again, LOL.

That is ALL!

Ta!

I'm still tired from yesterday...

esterday we went to Unclaimed Baggage in Scottsboro, Alabama. I don't know if they didn't have any air conditioning on, or if all the bodies in there heated up the place. It was HOT in there.

It's been years (two or more) since I've been there. I used to get all of Evan's clothes there because you could get a pair of pants for $2. I mean name brands. Like Sean John or whatever. I got my Kickass Cowboy Boots for $60. If you click the link it will take you to a page on my old website, HB is short for Honey Bunny which is what I called Evan back then.



Anyway, things have changed there! Now they no longer have DVDs in clear cases for $3.50. I mean, they do. But it's cheaper to get DVDs at the $5 bin in Wal-Mart. I saw Rush Hour 3 for $14.49... As IF. I can wait for it to go down at Wal-Mart.

So Evan found a GameBoy for $20.99. He got that & 3 games for it. The only problem is that we don't have a screwdriver small enough to open the back & change the batteries. We've both been playing the hell out of Crash Bandicoot on there and a little red light is on. I assume that means that the batteries are dying...

After The Boy made his purchases, I was ready to go. We went to my other home (Guess where?) and got him a new bike, new bike helmet & new pads. I got myself some t-shirt sheets since Evan has claimed my old pair.

The reason we went all the way to Scottsboro, AL to shop was because MD just told me that in AL, you only pay one sales tax. In TN there's on 9.75% tax & then another 8.35% tax for other stuff. In AL it's only the one 9.whatever% tax.

I knew there were 2 taxes. I look at my receipt every time. But I didn't realize that Alabama didn't have both of those taxes.

So now, not only will I be getting up early to fill up my gas tank, I will be going to AL for a lot of the junk that I buy. It's only 5 minutes to cross the state line to get dish washing liquid or whatever. Why not?

I was nervous driving home with my trunk sticking open with the bike in back. I mean, we had chained the bike & the trunk lid together with an actual chain, but I've heard that those police in Scottsboro will stop you for anything. At least around here, everyone knows me or someone in my family so I don't worry about getting pulled over. For anything, LOL.

That's all. I'm ready for a nap!
