When it Rains

This week has been kind of bananas.  I know...it's only Wednesday.  It started with my mom being rushed to the ER from work.  She'd had a very severe asthma attack.  She's doing well now just trying to get adjusted to new meds and actually resting.  I guess I'm like her in that regard.  We don't know how to sit still.  Even when we are sitting still there are 100 other things you are thinking about doing.  I won't even get into how her manager was a jerk when she met us in the hospital.

I'm still trying to adjust to my fibro meds again.  I remember why I stopped taking them.  My mouth is horribly dry and I sleep all day.  There is no getting your circadians right when you don't really fall asleep until 5am and you don't wake up until well afternoon.  Even more strange my right leg is killing me for some reason I have yet to figure out.  Fibromyalgia...*rolls eyes*.

One of my grandmother's best friends passed away today so she's really sad.  We are a barrel of fun over here this week.  I'm really not here for this week being a total loss.  Especially after Sunday was so awesome.  So I'm claiming a much better rest of my week.  Wish me luck!

Random Stuff that Makes Me Happy

I've spent a lot of time recently being kind of meh. Yes meh is an emotion. It's somewhere in between sad and indifferent. Mostly indifferent. Shut up if people can get away with saying they feel "some kind of way" I can totally be meh. Anywhoodle (I'd like to take credit for that word by my bestie came up with that one) I'm sitting here in my bed with my taped together laptop (which I have totally decided isn't that bad it's kinda nerd chic) thinking of things that make me smile even on my most meh days. So here goes.

My nieces and nephews. Seriously 'nuff said.

Writing something that even I have to admit is awesome. (I'm still not convinced of the "talent" sometimes)

Twitter

Chipotle (I know that's a fat girl thing to share but c'mon)

Quiet (my radio in my car is broken so I get time to just think when I'm driving)

RuPaul

New Book Smell and when you crack the spine of a brand new book LOVE that. You know you are at the cusp of a brand new adventure when you hear that sound. Or that's just me...I'm okay with that.

Cooking (I know I'm getting old and domestic...eek)

In the same vein I LOVE doing laundry. It's oddly relaxing.

Spring and Fall (Summer and Winter are just doing way too much)

Puppies (I should just add rainbows and unicorns now right?)

Find cool new apps on my Android

Curly hair! I'm growing my relaxer out for the 3rd (and final) time and I finally noticed some curlies yesterday. I was ready to start snipping away the relaxed ends. 4 more months to go though. Yay!

So yeah those are some of the things that will usually get a smile out of me. Maybe even a "Yay ________!" I've shared my weird things that make me happy what about ya'll? What gets you out of your funk?

Looky what I found!

I mean how awesome is this? Vitamin Water but for your lips. I loves me some Vitamin Water and this is my favorite flavor. They were 2 for $3.00 at Walgreens. You should go pick up a few.

A Minute in the Life of a Charmed Chick

I'm at work headphones on, 3 hours to go and a co-worker comes to my desk. She was actually using the copier which is right behind me so people feel the need to talk to me or even more irritating leave their ish on my desk, but that is a different topic for a different day. She has a bag of Fritos and she says:

Co-Worker: Here taste this

*Reluctantly takes a Frito from the bag and puts it in my mouth*

Co-Worker: Does that taste stale to you?

My internal thought: Dammit why would you make me taste something that tasted stale to you? We ain't friends, yo! Why in Gods name would you do that?

Me (out loud): *frowning* Yeah they are stale.

Co-Worker: The bag says the 23rd...

Me: It's the 29th

C0-worker: *walks away in a huff*

I spent the next 45 minutes getting stale Frito taste out of my mouth and that ONE Frito gave me heartburn. Why do people do that, though? It's always annoyed me when someone pulls the milk from the fridge, smells this and then sticks it under your nose while saying "Does this smell bad to you?". For the record YEAH STOOPID IT'S STALE!!! (disclaimer: that's a general statement for anyone who has EVER done this) There...now you never have to ask again.

You're welcome.
