So my shoulder popped yesterday-and it hasn’t done that since I injured it 15 years ago at my first nursing job. GOD IT FELT GOOOOOOD. Now it constantly pops, and I can feel the tendons roll around-I’m used to that too. Waiting for corporate HR to call me so I can go see an orthopedist. I slept a solid 12 hours Sunday into Monday-woke up at 1030. It was MUCH needed. Slept 10 hours last night. Since my shoulder has popped the pain has SIGNIFICANTLY decreased, but I still can’t lift and grab/hold on to things. Which SUCKS. That’s how I make my living. So, now I have to get with the scheduler at work for light duty-at least they can accommodate me-and figure out how to get my 22 hours for this week and my 32 for next week. I’m hungry-and all I want are eggs. I could PROBABLY eat an entire dozen of eggs and be happy for the rest of the day. Oh, I started a pot roast for dinner today. It was a little difficult to try to turn the roast-I sear it on all sides before putting it in the crock pot. I bought some Turkish Bay Leaves at the store yesterday-a splurge and they smell SOOOOOOO goooooood-and some celery salt. MY dad has high blood pressure so we don’t use alot of salt in any of our food. I love Kosher salt. I only use half of what is recommended for recipes with the Kosher salt. I bought some Green tea with acai drangonfruit and had a nice cup this morning. It was good. I made mom a pot of coffee and swept the floor. The girls are going to her dad’s house for blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes. (And by her dad I mean my daughter’s friend’s dad.) I need to go pay bills and figure out how much $ I owe for Vivi at shop #1 before going to shop #2. And I’m going to take a shower ladies and gentlemen. And maybe a nap. I’m still coming down from the 80 mgs of Latuda. I’m on 40 now. It makes me a little hypomanic in the am-hence ALL the stuff I did, but now I want a nap. The 60 dose was good. The itching had lessened, no hypo and no sleepiness. Guess we will just keep playing with the dosage. Oh snap! I haven’t taken my morning meds. Maybe that’s why I’m sleepy. Damn this forgetful Swiss Cheese brain! I HAVE noticed that since I have come off the Abilify that my memory has gotten a bit more clear-I can remember names and faces better, places too. But my short-term is really shot. OH! I had a total geek-gasm at the store yesterday with a guy that works in the dairy section. I’m kicking myself in the ass for not giving him my #-but I was kind of afraid he may have a girlfriend. And I’m not one to encroach on other’s territory since it’s been done to me. I have some self-respect there. Ok. Shower Time!
