***June 3, friday***I am very worn out today, after the lab and then the pt.
I scared mengele when I got very pale in pt.
they took a lot of blood (I have had endocrine tests before and they took double that today)
so I am going to take it pretty easy for a day or two guys.....
ok so I went to the doctor today
to an ob/gyn.
I took the ultrasound report from 5 years ago on my thyroid mass
the stuff from 89 on my pcos
and had the lumpectomy pathology sent to her
hahahaha
I actually like her
even though I have underwear OLDER then her....
she reminds me of one of my nieces.........
so that was a plus in her favor.
three times the poor kid told me that I should do stand up
she never cracked a smile or laughed however.
I don't think she knew quite how to take me
( with a butterfly net always worked for the men in the white coats)
she is really pissed that when the thyroid mass was found that a thyroid take up wasn't also done.
I told her............
nothing is going to be wrong, watch........ larry, moe and curly are running the universe and I am the blooper reel................ they won't allow me to go to my well deserved rest and deprive them of their comedy channel........
(besides, dying is much cheaper then medical tests soooooooooooooooooo)
we discussed a few other things about my medical conditions.
she did a pap and a breast exam.....
and for the first time in over 40 years......... nether of those two things HURT!!!!!!!!!
amazing
and my boobs are killing me in a pre period way....... ( again those of you like my friend CAROLE who don't know the 'joys' of premenstrual syndrome.............. BITE ME)
even AIR hurts right now
now I really really mean this......... I want a refund on this body......
none of the parts work anymore, and some actually never worked well in the first place......
what?
they were more for 'show'?gees
I swear I need my money back..........gonna buy me some indestructible recycled completely redone and altered vinyl doll parts.........
that has to be a better deal then the current one
ok so if they fix my sagging sorry ass................
does that give me a 90 thousand mile warranty?
tomorrow at some unearthly hour...................
I am to go to get ‘blood’ work
Without coffee
Do they have a police escort ready for me?
I mean the thought of going anywhere without benefit of the nectar of the goddess is one thing I don’t think I can face.
I mean they are taking what?????????????????
5 or 6 GALLONS of blood from me tomorrow………
I swear I am going in there clutching my coffee in one hand and holding my NECK out to have them take it from the Carotid artery just so I get my coffee fast.
I will be light headed and dragging all 3 of my fat ass’
And then…………… some perky person will tell me to ‘have a nice day’
I will stab them if I have the energy.
From there I got to mengele………….
So I will be drained of all fluids……. Then I will be twisted into a modern art sculpture of a rat’s nest.
Meanwhile, back here……….I was so busy trying to get my lab and hospital appointments straight that I burnt dinner……….
So we are having burnt OFFERINGS for dinner…..
Who says we can’t be religious?
How biblical can you get?
Ok so it is pork chops but hey work with me here ok?
Now on the 13-14 I am to the hospital where I will get a mammogram, vaginal ultrasound, pelvic, thyroid uptake and thyroid ultra sound…….
And a partridge in a pear tree.
Hopefully afterwards I won’t have pt………….
( shoot me if I do cause believe me……… I won’t be worth the effort)
whatever is left of me will be deposited in a Dixie cup and disposed of in the appropriate container right???
I will be radioactive for the 24 but not enough to really harm anyone I think……
I will just glow a bit in the dark and folks will SEE the bones mengele has been trying to talk into returning………
( visions of teenage voiced bones screaming ………’no no I won’t go)
after that……..
we get ICECREAM
oh man we better get icecream
or someone is gonna pay
til next timevi

of tarot cards and spices
I have a yen...............
not a yen as in a chinese coin.....
a yen as in I wanna get me a present....
or 6..?
I collect tarot cards....
I been reading tarot since 1970..... just for me.....
I enjoy it.
and I also collect decks.
(and I am waiting for my friend Julie to get her latest printed.. but that is a WHOLE 'nother story)
anyway, once a year I put in an order for tarot decks....... usually one or two that either I have been eyeing.....
or are new & different
my favorite decks are
the Halloween tarot
and the Victoria Regina
I am also quite fond of the whimsical tarot, which I waited for .. for quite a while actually
I have one deck I read with.
the others are purely collected
I did NOT get the comp tarot deck which is a shame however as I would have loved it.
when we needed some cash a year ago, I parted with a few decks. The herbal tarot was one I regret selling but what can you do.
there are other decks I would love even more
( like the Merryday tarot or the italian dog tarot)
anyway I am getting the tarot deck itch again.......
I am not too sure what decks will be on the short list yet........
but I think I am going have to scratch this particular itch......
I reason with myself......... I can ALWAYS SELL THEM........... on ebay
yea right.
( ok so well I did do that last year, along with my favorite teapot, and a few other things..sniff)
Anyway
I have been thinking of the Tarot of the dead..... ( day of the dead in mexico)
and maybe
Forest Folklore Tarot
or should I be really bad and get an Erotic tarot??????
( there is that groucho marx blinky thing going on again with my eyes)
hahahaha
anyway...........
I been thinking
of course right now I am not sure how many decks I have or exactly WHERE they all are.......
Please I am not sure if I am all here on any given day.......let alone where my decks are......
( I really need a glass doored bookcase with a lock to store this stuff in......... I got cats you know......
not just any cats......... LAPERMS!
oye
anyway..........
I don't know which decks to get.......
( I really can't afford any deck right now, but you know SOMETIMES......... well a girl has got to have fun.. and so does an old broad)

Sunday morning and let me introduce...
the actual SUN......
Mr. Solar is pleased to meet you all again.......
ok so it has been dark and rainy......
that actually is wonderful cause I love it that way....
(maybe in my last life I either lived in england, or seatle?)
I have discovered much to my surprise.......... ( hey I discovered a few surprising things about me this week...... I will tellyou the other in a moment)
I really love rainy weather..... hot rain, cold rain...... misty overcast rain...
damn I love it all.
(oh the other, I thought I was a bleeding heart liberal........... but as I firmly believe in personal responsiblity.........I found out that I can't be that bleeding heart liberal thing........ SURPRIZED the crap outta me)
So anyway back to sunday morning..........
it is sunny!
to say I was surprised and a bit disappointed............ well.......
see also on rainy weekends we normally spend the afternoon behind the closed door..............
and I am not saying what all goes on there
but lets just say we do come out a couple hours later smiling................. not to mention a bit ah... tired.
Sunny days just don't allow you to sort of linger in a horizontal position....... so to speak
they want you to get up and have a picnic.... cut the grass............... weed the garden......... well you know...... them sort of summer time thingies.
RAINY days however tell you to go back to bed and pull the covers over both of your heads and have a nice visit.
After you are finally done visiting........ you can have breakfast, or brunch or supper....... depending on how long that visit ended up being.
You also just know that in a couple hours.......... you will go and visit again..
that makes for a very nice day.
(and if you haven't tried that with your partner.............. might I suggest it....... really it does tend to have wonderful effects on both of you....... but what do I know..i only been married to the one person for almost 30 years, and when I am not ready to kill him, I actually do adore him)
anyway, said husband is now thinking of making us some brunch..
he put the dishwasher on this morning before I came down, and is just waiting for it to finish to start cooking.........
he already brought me my coffee.......
hhmmmmmmmmm
sundays can go on forever I think..................
no?

of course my van is broken
my husband is a MECHANIC.
I always have the broken car ...........no?
todays mishap brought to you by...............
BERNIE and the break pads.......
ok so I have friends who are married to electricians........ they have shorts all over the house, bare wires and no outlet covers.
I have friends who are married to doctors who smoke!
I have a friend that has a mechanical physist for a husband........so her computer is always screwed up....... Ditto the friend with the PHD in computer tech. for a husband......she broke down and bought a DELL!
so it stands to reason that with my mechanic for a dh.......... my poor little innocent and beloved van is got real problems........ it needs a valve job, break job, and new pads..
not to mention the body work on it huh?
the burning stench comeing from the master cylinder should clue everyone into the fact that dh is a mechanic......
and GET THIS
he NEVER EVER gets a 'return' at work.......... nope
not a one
he fixes it
it stays fixed......
ha
damn
see the trouble is
I can't get him to FIX THE DAMN VAN
I ask you
is this fair?
oye

my 'ta ta's' are now 'ha ha's'
gee is it me?
am I crazy?
or are my boobs decending faster then a stone in water?
they have been footstools for a while now
but I have been kidding myself,
I hike them up and stuff them into a bra........
I hope for the best.
I can say......
the best is a LOT lower then it used to be.
the standards are slipping I imagine.
I got out of bed this morning..... walked down the stairs and heard a thump behind me
I thought it was the cats
it wasn't
it took that long for my dragging fat ass to follow
I tell you
is this FAIR?
MEN lose their asses as they age......
women grow additions to their asses.......and they slide DOWN to the floor
I would dearly like to speak to someone in customer service about this decending ass thing.......
I am so busy trying to gather up my assorted parts and stuff them into something that will hold them up and in......... however, that I would probably miss the customer service window hours.
I am thinking bra's now need to come in 'hoover dam' size for me
ditto on the underdrawers
now I am not complaining really
( ok so I am complaining, but DAMN that bra strap is hurting my shoulder.... mengele would be proud)
however I got to thinking a while ago while stuggling to stuff my fat ass into my studio pants.
( and thank goodness for stretch polyester for studio pants.......nothing gets through that shit..... nothing, not lye, not acid, not my chafing thighs......)
I am wondering again, why do we have to go through this ?
And were is Rubens when you need him.
I am thinking we need a massive outpouring of Ruben's fans......
just think......
no more skinny fashion models
hahaha
they would be round and full figured.........
some would even.........
horrors
DROOP
how about that?
I would be in style!
amazing

it's gotta be a better day?
well so far, as a fan has not fallen on my head......
It will be a better day.
ok Bernie has given notice, however the management has sort of refused to believe it
meanwhile he is still there, but looking for another job. which also means pt continues and I better get my butt to a doc to look at the other stuff fast.
I over did it in the kitchen yesterday, making stuffed cabbage leaves, tomatoe sause, and burritos, so I am in a lot of pain today.
no one tell mengele.
beleive me I am suffering enough for overdoing it
but I work when I am a bit upset and I was a bit upset
I have a sink and dishwasher full of dishes right now...... and I did three loads yesterday
I really cooked a ton....
but the freezer is packed..
now I need a new freezer to fill..........
( well I always wanted a second freezer just for the garden veggies... )
I am going to do my pt today, knit a bit and make macaroni salad for monday at Carole's
where I promise not to pick up the older kids........... and I won't attempt to pick up a lamb at all........
I miss my goaties and sheepies..........and I miss my princess the horse.....
I have a carrot with her name on it....

well health insurance was nice.......
bernie gave his notice today.
he had no choice and I am behind him 175%.
however join me in waving bye bye to medical insurance.
gees.......
and I still have a thryroid mass to be biopsied,
mamograms need to be done...( and a second biopsy of the left breast)
not to mention the pcos treatement I still have not been able to get
and finishing up the pt on the shoulders and doing my knee....
( can you say.. violet is falling apart............ yes I knew you could)
where he works, he is busy and he does love it
but they don't pay over 30 hours a week.
so we can't live on that.
not and drive 87 miles one way.
see why he had to quit?
we can starve much more comfortably with him closer to home.
needless to say hearing this RIGHT after I got home from pt was not high on my list of opening remarks.
but that is life.
now will the person that suggested I sell my house and move to an apartment...... please just get the gun and shoot me.....
as I really can't stand having people that close to me.........
even my neighbors are too close at the moment.
oye

who will be fine in a day or so

Today I again have physical therapy.
Which means ( to the blissfully unaware) that again my arms will be twisted around like a pretzel and forcibly inserted into my opposite ear.
This will occur AFTER said arms are reduced to gell like boneless wonders in the afore mentioned twisting process.
Now you all heard me speak of 'mengele' my pt, she really is a lovely lady named June. She comes from the lake district in england, and knows sheepies.....
whats not to like?
and she is also making it possible for me to move my shoulders again...... amazingly.
however the WAY she does it is by brute force....... most of the time.
and you should SEE her....
tiny tiny little lady!
(don't let her kid you though, she is little but wirey, and strong as hell........... she can twist me but good)
by the time my pt is done, my brains are fried and I am incapable of speaking a co-herent sentance.
trust me
I am mostly also numb, which is good as I got at least a 45 minute drive HOME.........
the lure of ice packs, icecream and collapsing in a heap on my computer chair keeps me going just long enough to get there.
I tried bribery, I gave her soaps................. and some of the office staff as well.
hopeing that they will go easy on me.....
I suspect however that it may have a paradoxical effect in this case..... forcing my beloved mengele to now try to insert my elbow into my ears....... on the opposite side.... after she puts my head UNDER my knee in an effort to enable my neck to again move.
I truly know she is helping me..
but....... can you say PAIN???
yes I knew you could
til I am human again

On a more serious note........
Lately the weather here has been cold..... I mean the heat goes on at 65 cold.
and rainy, dark even during the height of the day.
I love this weather.
I swear this weather is the kind of weather that made the old country folk see the fairies.
maybe it is the green stuff growing....
the air is full of growth and magic.
(isn't growth magic?)
I love to work at the workbenches by the back windows. I look out through the guardian apples into the little clearing in the second part of our back yard. I swear if I look hard enough I will see the spirits of the plants and trees emerge.
later on the does will bring the fawns down to this protected playground.. ( or they used to, but with the new neighbors having cut all the trees on my line maybe not)
I have watched the fawns dance and play in the long grass and dappled sunlight that filters down through the ancient trees here.
I almost could have spent my entire life content watching the season turn there.
but I realized now, it is time to move on.
My adored sugar maples will have to shelter another family soon.
My maples were part of the reason we bought this place, it has two 270 year old sugar maples on the south side. Tall forest pines ring the maples.... even larger trees out back.
when we came, it was wild and free.
now due to the neighbors we have had to fence.
the deer paths are closed up, the wild turkey no longer travel through twice a day.
I still swear the fairy folk are out there but they are damaged by the cutting off of their paths too.
it is incredibly sad for me
I realize that this is probably the last year I will see the fireflies dance through the trees like lanterns carried by magic and wild folk.
the last year I will welcome the warblers in the apples.
the last year I will see the large stand of jack in the pulpit out behind the old ruined barn.
I am hoping however that the next place we live will have some of the same ancient magic and mystery surrounding it.
but with a lot less neighbors

and rainy, dark even during the height of the day.
I love this weather.
I swear this weather is the kind of weather that made the old country folk see the fairies.
maybe it is the green stuff growing....
the air is full of growth and magic.
(isn't growth magic?)
I love to work at the workbenches by the back windows. I look out through the guardian apples into the little clearing in the second part of our back yard. I swear if I look hard enough I will see the spirits of the plants and trees emerge.
later on the does will bring the fawns down to this protected playground.. ( or they used to, but with the new neighbors having cut all the trees on my line maybe not)
I have watched the fawns dance and play in the long grass and dappled sunlight that filters down through the ancient trees here.
I almost could have spent my entire life content watching the season turn there.

Dr Frankenstein lives
My beloved Mengele ( she is making it possible for me to touch my ears!) decided to morph in to Doctor Frankenstein when she put some sort of electric muscle stimulator on my shoulder, (in spite of my pleas of 'lower and to the left please') which caused my arm to take on a life of it's own.
my shoulder is still all knotted up....... ( as I am painfully reminded every time Mengele starts touching it)
so this electric muscle thingy was to have loosened that.
ha
it is going to take a JACK HAMMER to loosen them thar knots.....
Anyway it was a very strange sensation to say the least.
meanwhile
I have a soap order to fill and no shoulders to stir it with...
oye
I need to make 30 pounds of patchouli soap...... ( assorted patchouli)
and as I am restricted to no more then 5 pounds of lifting and NO stiring this ought to be interesting.
I got the pattern for the seaweed stole, I do have some yarn for it but I am lacking the beads.
I need something like 100 grams of 8/0 japanese seed beads ......... I would like a clear AB for them
and I need 24 teardrop beads in clear AB as well.
so that has to wait a bit.
I got another 23 meals done and in the freezer.. shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh we won't tell mengele....
but I did take breaks and I am doing my pt excersizes soooo
IKNOW
IKNOW
I am mostly listening
but you know..... life goes on
I also have some news...... since pt started I somehow misplaced a pants size.....
I am down an entire pants size.
and one top size
My upper stomach is gone...... I mentioned that to Mengele and she told me it was because I have good posture now......
I said
'but what will hold up my BOOBS'
she informed me a BRA
( yea right, I already got bad shoulders.......... I am going to need a crane for the BRA to be held up by..............)
oye
til next time

I got my nobbie ball!
ok now I can just imagine the XXX thoughts THAT is bringing up, not to mention 'fun with search engines' huh?
however I do need it for therapy.
and the Nobbie ball I use at pt is blue, I have a green one here at home, but I would have loved the clear purple one in that link......
in an 8 inch size
gee maybe mengele will make me do more with the larger size?
then I can get the purple one?
anyway, I am thrilled to be able to continue the pt excersizes, in spite of the pain.
I am really getting a lot more reach and mobility!!!
amazing huh
it is blowing me away.
I have some cat news to tell you folks.
about Fawn.
Remember her? she is the retired cattery queen who lived in a cage in the cattery for over 5 years. ( well cared for but still in a cage)
She has offically adjusted.
so much so that she got squirted with the water bottle for jumping on the workbenches in the studio.
hahahaha
I had to laugh even while I was telling her no.
She is also my cat. NOT bernie's ...........MINE all MINE
she won't come to bed until I tell her to.. he can whistle dixie and stand on his head...... she isn't having none of him
hahahahah
he meanwhile..... can't bare to crate train her soooooooooooooooo she still sleeps with us..... and now so does calpurrnia.
in a while the big guy will too..... I have a methold to my madness......
and it involves curly cats on the pillows.
ok spring is formally here in the pocono mountains.
the wild woodbine is in bloom and you can smell it everywhere.
my beloved violets are in bloom all over and I am thrilled to peices.
kidding season however is over until next year.....sniff
I will miss them little guys
the spring kids and lambs are huge now......
today I am going food shopping. I know......exciting huh?
I am to be getting 20 pounds of chicken legs. at .59 cents a pound........ you do the math.
I want to get about 10 pounds of beef and about 20 of pork.
that for a while should keep the freezer going
I want to get a second freezer, and I need a soapstone stove...
I should put up a button for donations to the freezer/stove fund huh?
oye
til next time

you know it's bad when.......
you can't trust your own bones to stay PUT.
ok this is amazingly annoying.
now I have to do these excersize thingies with a 'soft' beach ball thingy.
not them hand squishy thingies.....
I gotta walk a wall with a ball....
( say that three times fast then try and do it)
I have to say Mengele wasn't kidding when she told me I was going to be in a bit of pain
actually she said......
'the next few pt sessions are going to hurt'
YA THINK?
she put me in positions that even BERNIE hasn't gotten me into
( and he and I accidentally dropped an air conditioner out a window.. we almost followed it........ good thing he was hanging onto me.......)
I should have taken pictures............ you know for bribery purposes.....
or to prove that I really do not bend that way..... and that there isn't 18 joints between my shoulder and elbow.
she yanked and stretched....... and pulled and pushed......
oh and I AM all black and blue......
gees
and for what
so that my bones can WANDER?
see my life is so boring even my bones don't wanna stay here.....
oye
and you think YOU got problems?
do your bones want to leave?
I woulda thought the fat would hold my bones hostage..... but no..................
off they go.....
oye
til next time

I misplaced a WHAT???????????
apparently I have misplaced a bone
or displace a bone
either way it wasn't where it was supposed to be
and apparently it almost is back to it's assigned spot now
damn
did you know that replacing this bone to it's assigned spot hurts..... yes really it does
and it really is as BAD AS IT SOUNDS
Mengele who is a genius however, is got me able to move my hands behind my back which I could not do before
she thinks that I will be fine in a couple weeks if I continue to do nothing but my pt
and my ice
( I am icing now Mengele dear)
Actually she wants you to know she really is a nice person and her name is NOT Mengele....
which is true her name is JUNE not Mengele....
however I needed to convey the fullness of the experience to you all since none of you can be there and do it for me.
( and you all call yourselves my FRIENDS? and no one is doing this pt torture thing for me??? and there isn't even any cheesecake or ICECREAM?)
She is also a very good pt, makes you sweat and cringe in pain so that you will remember and NOT do the bad things again that got you into this mess in the first place
oh and I am again taped
I am pretty surprised that a bone moved around...... gee I have loose and wandering bones?
couldn't the fat on my ass or stomach do that?
wander over to someone I don't really like all that much?
I ask you.....
is it fair?

apparently i have been 'tagged'
and someone who did that ( and SHALL remain nameless- I will deal with YOU later)
wants me to list my 10 favorite things.
mmmmmmmm
it would be easier to list my 10 most unfavorite things
but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
favorite things

favorite things
ok I will give it a whirl......
- coffee, in the morning. I loves me some coffee, which right now isn't even MADE. so as I can't get the coffee out of my head right now, it is in the top spot...... this may change AFTER said coffee when I am thinking straight, and am awake..
- weekends with bernie... he makes me coffee and brings it to me, again with that coffee thing huh? But really I love bernie when I am not mad at him. Which with pms and menopuaseal symptoms is at midnight during a full blue moon, but I loves me some bernie. even though, due to hormone flucuations, I mostly have been wanting to rip his head off..... it isn't being bias, I pretty much want to rip anyone's head off who gets within 2' of me...
- my animals, enough said...........anyone who reads this tripe I write on any kind of regular basis knows that
- books/reading/knowledge/learning.......... yes it IS one thing, I have thousands of books.. and can only lament the ones I won't have time to read.
- making things with my hands, I design just about everything I make and I make a ton of stuff. From clothes to dolls to the sky is the limit.
- the eastern woodlands. they are magical.
- quantum physics...... where else does pure science tell you that there truly is magic in the world
- 200 year old stone houses........... i mean who wouldn't?
- security, I love knowing we have enough toilet paper or saving to get through any emergency
- being self sufficient. *** see 9
ok coffee is ready now to go and wake up
til next time

who is going to see mengele today..................

ah....... tape is a marvelous thing
I have to tell you that Mengele knows what she is doing....
( actually her name is June, and she is really very nice, but damn it hurt... BAD, I am pretty sure necks can't bend in that direction either)
and that tape on my shoulder...... wow what a difference.
also I can actually get my other arm up to scratch the BACK OF MY NECK!
will wonders never cease
and here I thought I couldn't do that cause I was too fat!
no shit
it was all cause my shoulders were messed up.
ok today
I am to do pt excersizes.
ice
and pretty much nothing else
I will lay down with the cats at some time today cause I can't hold them and I miss them terribly
I miss my goaties and sheepies too
and my adopted horse princess.
I am going to try and knit in that new posture she wants me in
which by the way
that new posture pushes my boobs all the way the hell out to THERE
damn
talk about advertizing
if I was 17 it would be great
at this age.........
I need cranes to hold them puppies off the floor
I swear I think I got taller too
