Feeling off today

It’s 11:40 at night and I’m contemplating walking up to the fitness center and working out.  Maybe that’ll help.  I’ve been feeling very lightheaded today….almost dizzy.  I forgot to take my Cymbalta yesterday, so maybe that’s the problem.  Hopefully tomorrow I’ll feel more connected. 

I did get a few things accomplished today, though.  I went to Meijer and got a home phone, more ground beef, and a few other odds and ends we needed.  Unfortunately, I forgot to bring the movies we rented the other night from the Red Box and return them.  Oops.  I’ll do it tomorrow.  But at least now we have a home phone, thank goodness, since reception on my cell phone here is total shit.  That still pisses me off.  Verizon is supposed to have the best and most coverage anywhere…..everywhere except where I’m now living.  Of course!

I got woken up this morning by loud banging on my front door.  Turns out the guys digging up and replacing the sidewalks here at the complex needed me to move my car cuz they needed to get the cement truck closer to the sidewalk.  Not a problem…..especially since the guy banging on my door was HOT!  Hell, I would’ve moved my car and made him a four course meal on top of that if he’d asked!  LOL

I also found a doctor up here and made an appointment.  They were able to get me in this Friday, which is shocking considering new patient appointments usually take longer to get.  I’m actually looking forward to it cuz I’ve got some things I need to discuss with him….such as my insomnia, the fact that I’ve been working out like a fiend for five weeks and haven’t lost one pound, and the fact that when I had my leg x-rayed a week or so ago, they saw what they feel is a muscular injury and feel I need an MRI of the leg.  They’re going to mail me the x-ray report and hopefully I’ll get it before Friday so I can bring it with me and show it to my new doc.  I should….it’s only coming from about half an hour away.  So it’ll be good to get back into a regular routine with the doctor as far as my diabetes and blood work and things like that.  I hope I like him as much as I did my doc in Chicago.  I really miss her….she was so awesome.  I also want this doc to send me to see a nutritionist if they don’t have one there at the office. 

After I had dinner tonight I was feeling really lightheaded and suddenly sleepy so I laid down and slept for about two hours.  Big mistake for two reasons….one, because laying down right after eating had me waking up choking on acid reflux, and two, I had some of the most crazy ass dreams!!!  I mean flat out bizarre!  They weren’t nightmares, just very strange.  In one I had to save my newborn son from his gangster father, who wanted to kill me and raise our son to be a gangster.  In another, I was having lesbian sex with a girl I’ve known since second grade whom I haven’t seen or spoken to in years, WHILE we were watching gay porn!  In another one I was swimming through a flood in Florida, where we were on vacation, to find my son because we had to leave to get back home.  I told you….totally bizarro!

I didn’t work out today, and I’m feeling guilty about it, which is why I was contemplating doing it now….but I’m still feeling tired and frankly, I just don’t feel like it.  So I’ll do it tomorrow.  The only thing I have to do tomorrow is take those movies back, or maybe I’l just have T do it on his way to or from work.  Yeah….I like that idea better. 

Oh, on a GREAT note….Congress passed the unemployment extension!!!  YES!!!!!!!  Now hopefully I’ll keep receiving my checks without a delay between my next one, which is my last one for this extension, and the first one of this new extension.  Washington, here we come!!!  I am so excited to see my son, I can’t even tell you!  And BFF time with R makes it even better!  We’re going to have such a good time…..we always do.  Less than two months, baby……YEE HAW!!!

On that note, I’m going to say goodnight to you fine folks and watch Medium and then head back to bed.  Hope you all have a peaceful evening….God bless!

I am SO glad the unemployment extension got passed, not just cuz I want to go to Washington with you, but because I know how much you want to see J. We’re going to have a blast. I just know it. Nothing can be as bad as going to your uncle’s air force base. LOL
