Well. I've sat here for 10 minutes thinking about what to type. It has been such a gray day. The wind is still blowing and expected to increase to 50-60 mph gusts after midnight tonight as a storm front moves in. Partly cloudy skies mixed with dust, dirty cars ( mine is so splotched), ornery people and still being stomach- miserable has made for just an "iffy" day. Pepto Bismol is my best friend at the moment. In the past years I've tried Mylanta and store brands but always went back to Pepto.TMI? It shouldn't be because we all have stomachs and troubles now and then. We focus so much on the exterior that we can't talk about the interior... and that's why people get sicker than they need to be. Embarrassment or awkwardness is no excuse not to seek help when necessary because if you don't you are risking greater health drama or death. I have lost friends because they put things off til they were critical.

Trying hard not to get too concerned but all day I have been quite sick again...go back a couple of months when I couldn't eat without pain and stomach distress. I've been extra careful what I do eat to let my throat heal and see the dr. But today, things went into a nose dive and cramping and severe abdominal pain are back. Will call the doctor for a liquid diet sheet. I am in way pain, using all the creams I can but it feel like I have kerosene in me. Wouldn't wish it on an enemy.
If you have suggestions, I would be ever so grateful to hear them. It's been to long to be like this.
So, understandably it is uncomfortable to sit long tonight so keeping it short.
Thank you for being there. I have given some of you faces.

Sometimes you have a bad day and just as you are about to despair you find out that others had such a worse day. I am glad my bad day wasn't so bad.

Today is my 42nd Wedding Anniversary. Who'd have thought it? We got married in Tokyo, Japan. As we were getting out of the taxi and walking into the Embassy I told my soon to be  husband I was glad it was Saturday the 14th instead of Friday the 13th. Hah, never calculated the time zones but it wouldn't have mattered. Friday the 13th has since been our favorite day and lucky number.

The wind has been relentless today. I normally enjoy blustery days but this has kicked up some dust that won't quit. The air is brown and you can taste it by this afternoon.

Today I bought 2 Sony units and cables to hook up the tv to Netflix. Great sale at Target and my employee's discount made it affordable to our cinched budget. Direct TV costs are killing us and so much of it is now repeats and moving shows to different channels to fill the space. I have loved it and don't know yet how I can watch all of NASCAR. The adjustments will be worth the savings. I haven't cancelled yet, but am having early withdrawal.

Ouch. The swelling is almost down but the pain in my mouth is still high. For some reason the dentist did a little more drilling on what I thought was a ready anchor tooth. The temporary bridge is now in again for 3 weeks before the real one takes over. It will be nearly one year to the day since we first started to fix my tooth. Drama, drama. Ora Base works miracles on sore gums..Anbesol is good but the samples of the Ora Base was better, I think.
Hey, I forgot all about my other issues for the day. Now, that is a good thing. Like reading Entertainment Weekly (my most favorite magazine) always take my mind away.I love movies, tv, music, books and knowing the behind the scene little details.Maybe that is why I write. My life has been an ongoing adventure since I was 7 yrs old that I can remember. I keep hearing I MUST write a book about my life. I think of doing it often. It definitely would not be dull.

First time ever I forgot to set the clocks forward last night. I thought tv was bewonkers until it dawned on me. I am one of those opposed to Daylight Savings but for merely selfish reasons. I don't like it light at 10 pm. The whole thing messes with your body clock. More people are getting put off by it and every year various legislatures try to get rid of it.
It has been a year since my dentist pulled a tooth I thought was just a cracked crown. Long story short. It was fractured roots. He pulled the tooth and left bone in. After convincing him 2 weeks later that something was still there he pulled out a bone the size of a shark's tooth. You got it.. 2 more weeks later I went back and he pulled out more bone tho smaller. 4 weeks later he put in a bridge. 2 months later after much relentless pain, he pulled out the bridge. Oh, he hadn't waited long enough for the gums to heal after 3 retractions and I was hamburger. Now HE is paranoid; first time in 30 years that's happened he said, so he's made me wait since Nov. 2011 to make certain the gum is healed. Tomorrow is the day. I don't know how he is going to do it, the anchor teeth are obviously ready but hey, I want to be able to chew again. One more mistake and I want my $2,000 that I couldn't afford, back. Wish me luck. Haha, these past two months have not exactly been a cakewalk. "I get knocked down, but I get up again." Love the song.
