Smoke is still leaking in. Talked to the neighbor about spraying the stuff I gave her over her head after smoking to start cleaning the air. Yes, we're friendly. There's no reason why the smoke is coming in since they're not smoking inside. rat thinks part of the problem is change in pressure when the doors and windows are opened so stuff gets pushed up into our area. Neighbor says the furniture in the house was treated and hasn't been smoked on. Ya know, if you smoke, it gets in your clothes and hair and then it gets on everything else...
I didn't get jack done today because I am so weak due to the Prednisone. I'm tingling-numb from my crotch (yes, 'that' feels like pins and needles and half-numb) to my toes. I didn't realize 'that' was numb until I gave rat a belated b-day present (I was wanting it too) and found I couldn't completely feel everything.
My wrists and fingers are affected a little. My legs and feet are the worse - lots of that funky hot-flash stuff flickering over the legs and the tops of my thighs feel like I've been walking up-hill for hours. I have an occasional twitch in various places on my face and my lips are tingling. Research says it's all because of the Pred. I don't know if the constant need to pee every hour or so is related.
I forgot to drink today so drinking at night probably isn't helping. *sigh* How more stupid can I get?
I had hoped to nap today but it didn't happen. I sometimes fall asleep in front of the Food Channel. rat was glad I rested, though. I am frustrated I didn't get much done. We got a few things done tonight, though. I found three boxes in one closet that I have NO idea how they got there and why. One had too-small dress pants (no, I'm still not THAT skinny), one was a box of papers and such that should have been thrown out years ago (how did THAT happen?) and a small box of books, most of which were Asimov's from long ago so rat walked them over to the recycle center. Half-Price won't take them.
We got a loan approval for $150.000 and there's no fucking way in hell we could afford the $1200 a month house payments (not including the utilities, etc.) for that price house. So the realtor is going to look for $120.000 range and send us some leads. We'd be moving into something just a little larger and I can guarantee you that third bedroom will become a walk-in closet for us because little houses have crappy closets. We'll probably lose a full bath (still have a half-bath) and I bet cabinet space will be at a premium since older homes don't have good kitchens.
You know, I really don't need this house-hunting right now, since we're gearing up for the move next door when they finally finish working on it (which seems to be taking forever). I caught one of the guys doing a little bit of de-trash today so I stopped over and thanked him for not smoking in the place. I also asked him if it would be repainted and either new carpets/cleaned carpets. He said that's what usually happens. And we'll get new mini-blinds.
I'm so fucking overwhelmed but rat thinks once we can move some stuff out of here and over there it will start getting better to get organized. We will definitely need to get some kind of rolling clothing racks to hold clothing we can no longer put in the closets. The second bedroom will turn into storage, something I really don't want to happen but what can I do?
It helps a little to look at different furniture ideas at the Ikea website so try help organize us more.
No sleep again last night. I can't get comfortable because the numbness kicks in and the Pred keeps me wired.
Listen, folks, next time I think about taking Pred, YELL AT ME! Remind me what has happened this time and hit me over the head virturally to remind me what a stupid git I was during this time.
I bet my weight is no longer in the 190's anymore.
And to top things off, tomorrow is the first day of classes and parking will be a real bitch and a half. I'll have to walk a long time on half-numb feet and legs to get even close to the building where I work.
Now it's time for me to start thinking about bed, where I will toss and turn all night because I sure as hell won't be getting any sleep. Whee ha.
