Well, my wound from biting the inside of my cheek is causing me hell. It’s also zapping on my immune system, so I literally feel weak and like I’m about to come down with a cold or sinus infection. PLZ NOOOOOO. I took vitamins and have been swishing with hot salt water, plus taking ibprofen to try to help this pain. IT SUCKS SO BAD and I just want to lay around.

I got my vitamin test kit in the mail yesterday – YIPPPEEE! I called Mom and we were gonna go do it Monday, but asked if she could do it NOW and she asked her friend (who has a car that isn’t old and run down, like Mom’s) and she said SURE. They came to pick me up & told my Aunt to get Katie off the bus in about an hour. Mom dropped her friend off at one place and then we drove over to the lab. Mom waited in the car, while I went inside. The lady took my blood and had to collect 2 HUGE vials worth. Well, one of the vials was not working so she switched arms to see if it was my vein, but nope it was the vial. She just used another empty vial to collect then poured it into the original vial. She got it all set up for me then said I needed to drop it off at a Fedex place. Uhhh, I didn’t know I would have to do that!? Then I remembered that Brad and I have been to a FedEx Office place nearby, so we drove over and the dropbox pickup wasn’t until 7:30pm last night, so I did it! I tracked it and the package arrived at the lab this morning. WOOHOO. Apparently, this spiffy high-tech test will take NINE days to complete. I wrote down for them to send my results via email then I guess I’ll meet with my Naturopath to see what vitamins and minerals I need to take. I’m stoked!!

I am NOT stoked, however, with Katie’s behavior at school today. As I mentioned above, my Aunt got her off the bus yesterday and then walked her back towards my Mom’s house. Well, she got her a cheap burger from McDonalds (BLECK!!!!!!), but it was still in the bag when I met up with them. Katie got upset cause she wanted to go see Granny, but I told her it was cold and we had to go home. She protested allllllll the way home and then continued when we got home. She eventually calmed down, ate a snack, we did homework, etc etc. Brad was out late with co-workers for dinner, so I put her to bed, but I heard her talking and playing so I had to go remind her to go to sleep. After Brad got home we still heard her in there. WELL, she has been a TERROR at school today. I got an email from her teacher saying she is coming home on red (bad) for many various reasons. I think her staying up late playing in her bed had a lot to do with it. I am sure there will be a dramatic scene once she gets off the bus, as she knows she has done wrong. Oooh boy.

Cheers to the weekend…. ??

I have meant to post since the New Year, but yeaaah. Time to zip up to speed!

– DID get to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug at the end of December
– Had a snow storm in January AND February, in addition to a random thunderstorm and EARTHQUAKE (in another part of Georgia). WTF.
– Brad got STUCK in traffic coming home from work with the 1st snow storm… for 7 hours. He pulled off the road and walked to a furniture store and spent the night. It was crazy for everyone!
– Discovered that our rat, Ratticus Finch, is blind.. =(
– A few weeks ago I went to the restroom and came back to Katie sitting at her table and BLOOD EVERYWHERE! She stuck her finger in Ratticus’ cage.. poor guy is blind and got scared then bit her. Gosh, it was like a crime scene haha.
– Katie lost her first tooth in early February!!! Left bottom front tooth
– Katie got lots of mini vacations from school, between the snow storms, staff days, and President’s Day
– Filed taxes 1st of Feb and got them on the 10th!
– Recently watched the movies About Time and 50/50… really liked both of them
– Early this year we started watching The Following and have been watching ever since!
– Got my thyroid levels re-tested.. levels are awesome (but I still feel like POO)
– Also got tested for Lyme Disease, since I was bitten by lots of ticks back in 05, but thankfully it was negative
– Was able to get the rest of dental fillings done. I just got the last visit Tuesday, but was so numb that I bit a chunk out of the inside of my left cheek. Can we say Y’OUCH?!!!! It’s gonna take forever for it to heal =(
– Decided the next step with my health is to get a special vitamin and mineral test done, that looks at it on a cellular level, along with others levels and how my immune system is doing. I’m praying that maybe I’m just way out of balance with my levels, cause otherwise I have no flippin’ idea why I’ve been so miserable the last 4 1/2 years.
– College has been going great. In fact, I’m taking an alternative medicine class right now and LOVING it, since that’s what I’ve been using to figure out my health issues.
– OH, got my hair dyed blonde again last Sunday! and got it cut a few weeks ago.

It’s a sunny day, but so dang cold! UGGGH. I’m ready for spring, sunshine, and warm temps pleaaaase! So, I’m gonna get ready to dry/style my hair and go see if my vitamin and mineral test kit came in the mail today. I’m eager to get the blood drawn and then I have to wait about 4 weeks for results. I’m also gonna go see the Doc that prescribed me the thyroid meds in March. No sure what she’s gonna do? Apparently, there was miscommunication and I was supposed to drop down from 10mcg to 5mcg for the T3 meds, but she said to keep taking the 10mcg, until I see her. Maybe we’ll see about weaning me down and seeing how the levels will do. If I DO have several severe vitamin/mineral deficiencies then we can work on those and then eventually I’m sure I won’t need the thyroid meds anymore. That would be super awesome. I’m gonna keep trying, until I can re-claim my health! My health is my wealth!!!

Wishing everyone an awesome Thursday! I need to get in a habit of posting something on here. See ya for now!
