Feeling good…

City Grown Willow

So no headaches yet…and my neck and jaws were even tight earlier today and I still don’t have a headache or any symptoms, so that is AWESOMESAUCE! I hope this is a good sign!

I was wearing a wool sweater today because it was like icy out this morning…my car was frozen…but it got sunny and warmed up and i was sitting here at work roasting! I luckily had my zip up hoodie which is also lighter than the sweater and I can leave it partially unzipped so I can actually breathe because I do have a tank top on. And I propped the door open to let in some breezy air…it’s finally feeling better. I’m so looking forward to the warmer weather coming, but not for how warm it’s going to be here at work…because that sun come around to the front of the building and it heat up out here. I need to get the fan I had in here back out of the group room, because I may need it.

My black eye is much darker now, but it still doesn’t hurt, so that’s good…like I can feel that it’s bruised but, it’s not painful…

I just realized, I have not yet posted a pic of my new ink…OMG, seriously? Wtf? so yeah I got my 22nd tattoo…it’s another PJ tattoo…(OF COURSE!) And for those of you reading who don’t know much about me yet, PJ means Pearl Jam and they are my favorite band, since I was 12…and I’m stubborn as fuck about it…I will not even entertain the idea that there is any other band past or present that is better than them. This is a song title in Eddie Vedder’s handwriting…a song that I love…if you’ve never heard it, look it up!

I’ve had two cups of coffee today, too and it’s made a huge difference in helping me to stay feeling like I’m human…lol Ok, that’s it for today.

I just can’t seem to wake up today. I drank coffee, didn’t help, usually does, but not today. I think this sickness is still trying to kick my butt. I’m over the real bad part of it, but still have the cough, and it’s messing with my sleep, I think. I wish I could sleep for days! I want to hibernate!

I rediscovered Type O Negative yesterday…I say rediscovered, because it’s been forever since I listened to them. Probably not since around the time Peter Steele died. They are probably a bad choice for today, but I am listening anyway. I say that because his voice could lull me to sleep. I find their music so relaxing and with as tired as I am today I could pass out easy given the opportunity.

I wish I could go get Dutch Bros…I could use a coffee boost…I love my white coffee!!! ❤ I have some for making it myself at home, but the problem is I think you really need an espresso machine, which I don’t have…and so it never tastes good when I try and make it in my regular 1 cup machine. It tastes downright disgusting actually…like water and then the creamer makes it taste like spoiled milk…lol BLECH! But the DB drink is heaven! I get an Almond bar latte with White coffee, it has white mocha and almond flavoring.

Facebook and Instagram are broken…have been since like 8am…I can’t comment or post or anything, it’s annoyingAF!!! Come on guys fix the issue!

So the weirdest thing just happened, I texted my hubby, re: our banfield wellness plans, which one of just went up in price…anyway, I sent one message and he received something else…we were confused and trying to fig it out and finally just ended up sending each other screen shots because he didn’t understand my text and I had no idea what he didn’t get because I thought it was rather clear, plus I explained it again. I am attaching a pic of both texts. So I looked it up on google and apparently this s something that happens sometimes, and it’s caused by two text messages crossing out there in cyberspace or whatever you wanna call it. And I guess the other recipient got the end of my message…? The pink is my original text and the green is what he received.

Talk about strange! He says it’s the NSA and I say Mike TV got scrambled in the airwaves…lol If you’re an 80’s kid you’ll get my joke….if you’re an adult in the USA right now you’ll get his…lol

I’m still doing well with eating better. I’m eating smaller snacks through out the day, but also making better choices as to what those snacks are. I haven’t lost anymore weight this week yet though. But I’m still improving my habits. I also learned that for every pound you lose, it relieves 4 pounds of pressure off of your knees and 6 pounds of pressure off of your hips, that’s good news for my hips! My left one has been acting up for two days now. I don’t know why exactly either.

I guess that’s all I’ve got right now…I got some work to do.

It’s been awhile…

I haven’t written since PJ! Shit, a lot has happened!

Recap! I started working at Service Master. I saw LUCERO in concert, I went to Seattle again, to visit Taylor and meet her new husband, while there I tried Spice cake which was maybe the yummiest thing I’ve ever had, and Korean BBQ and loved it! I got fired from Service Master of Salem, and yup they can all kiss my big white ass! I hope they see that. I got unemployment for a month and a half while I looked for a new job, and i found one working for the Drug Treatment Court in Corvallis as an office manager. I like it a lot, it’s far less stressful that any job I have ever had and that’s kinda a nice change! It’s a long commute though, so we bought a Jetta TDI at auction that wasn’t running and Jason fixed it, so I have a car that gets better mileage because it’s a diesel that can get up to 41 miles per gallon. And it’s a lot of fun to drive! I had  complete and total break down 2 weeks ago over my weight. I was fine and then all of a sudden I couldn’t control my emotions and I bawled, and since they we’ve been working on eating better and I have already lost 8.6 lbs. I am getting a new PJ tattoo in the next couple of weeks, and I also will be getting solar nails when I hit the 10 lbs mark, because Jason and I made a deal…lol I came down with the flu on Friday 3/1, and went to Urgent care immediately after work, and then the next day had one of the worst migraines of my life and Jason had to take me to the ER that night. OH And I shaved my head about 3 weeks ago.

  • Right after I shaved my head
  • at work a few days ago…
  • Last Night

The pin in the green Hoodie was the day after I shaved my head and then the other two are the last few days, you can see how much it has grown out…I actually really love it…but I am growing it back out. I just really needed to start from scratch because my hair was sooooooo damaged from all the shit I did to it in the last year. I am growing it out long though and I am not planning to color it myself anymore, I want to go get it done and have like an ombre or biolage or something done, so it looks like a real pretty combo of my natural color with some lighter honey blonde and maybe a little bit of platinum sorta highlights… and so it’s not damaged because I am not even kidding when I tell you my hair was fucked up and dry and brittle when I shaved my head. But I decided on the way home to do it, and I walked in and told my hubby and he said “You won’t do it, you always flip out when I tell you to do that” and he’s not wrong, but him saying that…turned it into a dare…so I had to do it. And I actually have a great shaped head for it, so I can rock it well. I have gotten lots of compliments and then it’s also ended up being a fun social experiment to see how strangers react…I went ot safeway the weekend after I did it, and the cashier who checked me ou, and older guy probably in his 60s, wouldn’t even look at me. They J and I went to dinner one night and a guy at the burger joint wouldn’t stop staring! I think it’s because people aren’t sure if this was a deliberate choice or if I’m sick with cancer and lost all my hair…lol

Oh yeah, and I started drinking coffee, my best friend taught me how to make it drinkable…lol I am obsessed, hence the new blog. My favorite is white coffee from Dutch Bros, but I make light roast at home. I love flavoring with vanilla and caramel creamer. I’m an addict!

I guess that’s about it for now, we got shit to get done today, and I’m hungry I haven’t eaten anything…and I am frozen so I’m gonna go take a HOT shower.
