Quarantined

 



Today I am thankful that the MA who did my Covid test didn't shove the Q -tip so far in my brain as to give me a double lobotomy. 



I'm allergic to almost everything in my environment; my dog, my cat, the trees in the front yard, dust....

too much to list. 

Chronic sinusitis is a thing for me. 

This time, it got into my ears.  In addition to the earaches, I have a headache and a sore throat.  For a couple of days,  I couldn't move my hands, my knees, hips and back hurt (but that didn't stop me from using voice commands to buy musical supplies online).  I cough once in a while, not the steady non-stop cough of someone with Covid.  It'll cough a couple of times an hour to get the crap out that has moved into my lungs. 

Attractive, eh? 

My skin looks so white, I actually like how I look.  I'm pretty sure that tone is due to the illness.  I'll give it a couple of days and I'll have my ruddy complexion back. 

Every once in a while, I'll drink coffee.  I can still taste and smell the coffee. 

It's probably not Covid. 

There is this nasty taste emanating from my lungs. 

My lips aren't blue. 

With my asthma and my dislike of my inhaler, my lips and fingernails are often blue. 

My pulsox is 85.  That's not too bad. 

My blood pressure is 156/111.  That was probably due to having to tell my boss that I'm sick.  I want to protect the pregnant patients.  The best way to do that is not to come to work sick. 

Oh, and the sewer backed up into my laundry room this morning.  I can't invite a plumber in my home for fear of making him or her sick. 

The cold symptoms won't kill me.  My inability to shower will.  Most of my rituals involve bathing in pink Himalayan salt to get negative, old stale energy off of me. 

How in the world can I live with all this creepy accumulate? 

Crap....

I asked a nurse how to tell the difference between a head-cold and Covid. 

We can't.  

That's the rub, isn't it?

The government has created such a hysteria that a cold can cause financial ruin. 

The only reason I went in for a test is that my daughter was exposed at work.  She works in a health food store.  Neither she or her employer are taking it seriously.  

She had a stomach issue last night. 

She's blaming week old alfredo.  I didn't even know there was alfredo in the fridge.  

I visited the Colorado CDC website:  My daughter's workplace is a hotspot: CDPHE COVID-19 Outbreak Map Updated December 30, 2020 (arcgis.com)

She's 23 and indestructible.  Kids don't take such things seriously.  

Sigh....

I'm sure it's not Covid but without a test my boss will worry.  I'll worry.  I will probably be okay tomorrow but won't be able to work until the test results come back. 

It's a shame I won't have my new guitar or decent bass strings for a few days.  Charlie still has the factory set.  

I guess I'll go on ahead and tune him.  

******

This guy cracks me up.  

I never heard a rapper who loves Christmas as much as this guy. 

Seriously - all he sings is 

ho....

ho....

ho! 

Just teasing.....

Up until today, I resembled this song. 

I had a hell of a freaky weight loss in September and lost 20 pounds within a few weeks.  Doctor said I managed to keep it all off. 

Losing 20 pounds so quickly leads to flab.  Flab can cause tsunamis when I wave at people.

There are no gyms that I can frequent.  My boss asks me not to go anywhere but work. 

That's what I do.  

I have a home gym but because I haven't invited a repair man out to fix my dryer, it's being used as a drying rack.  

Excuses, excuses.....

It's sad when one identifies with a rap song.  

If someone were to smack me, they'd be hypnotized by the skin ripples.  

Maybe I can lift cans of tomato juice or something? 

Thinking about it. 

Not sure what else to say.....

*****
I went to the dentist two weeks ago. 

This guy did not wear facial coverings. 

No eye goggles. 

No masks. 

It was the quickest cleaning ever.  I was out in 8 minutes flat. 

At the time, I thought it was due to my expensive vibrating toothbrush with the blue light.  

Maybe not? 

I'm sure water splashed in his face. 

I will be so flippin' embarrassed if I have Covid and he gets it. 

If a dentist isn't worried about it, should I be worried? 

This is getting scary.  

*****

Right now I'm about to cough and choke. 

In about two weeks, I'll probably be broke. 

Life is nothing but a game. 

and my feverish attempts at rhyme are lame. 


Maybe my feverish paintings will be better. 

Take your zinc, vitamin C and D3.  

For some reason, it didn't work for me.  

Strange....

Love ya lots, 

S.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004.  We ran into her at a Wal-mart in 2005 and my keys went mi

The Love Gods Have a Sense of Humor

Today I am thankful about the ever-changeable, ever-humorous universe.   It is said that 'in life, the only constant is change.' Ah, this is a true tidbit, isn't it? I recently vowed NOT to date until Michael officially moves out of the house.  I also vowed NOT to be close to him unless he signs up for FOO (Family of Origin) and Relationship counseling.  I've been with the man nearly a quarter of a century, he's not going to go to therapy to have a relationship with me. He plays games with money, divorce agreements, custody arrangements, transportation, and all sorts of things to keep me stuck here.  It's nothing money and a lawyer can't solve.  ***** They say that dysfunctional people have three weapons that they use to keep people under their thumb.  The acronym is FOG. Yes, they are FOG machines. What does FOG stand for? F ear O bligation -and- G uilt Yes, there is fear.  Fear that he won't honor his financial

Personality Theory

Today I am thankful for personality theory. I can't say that I buy into it very much.  People change over the course of their lives.  Healthy people grow.  Unhealthy people either stay static or regress.  So what one tests today may change tomorrow. I do believe that personality theories (even ancient ones like astrology) create self-fulfilling prophecies.  If people buy into it, it gives a lot of insight into their characters, needs, and behaviors.   I've spent most of my adult life studying personality theories.  From Eric Fromm's theory's about authoritian -vs- mature personalities and how authoritians fear power while mature people revel in it to Jung's introvert -vs- extrovert theory.  A major one of interest to me is an offshoot of Jung, it is the MBTI type inventory.  When I'm happy, I'm a textbook INFJ. When I'm pissed off and wanting to strangle my ex, I act like a ESTP.  My ex is a ESTP and when he is stressed out
