One step forward, two steps back?

by

I was hoping that I’d have been more productive today. I got up early, after not much sleep, because I had an early doctors appointment. When I got home I was feeling my lack of sleep but I pushed on and got a few things done – the best of which being getting all of our bills paid.

I hate paying bills. It’s not because we don’t have the money to pay the bills … it’s just that I don’t like paying them. Probably because I think we’re being charged way too much for many of the things that I just paid for this morning – cable, electricity … both have doubled since the first year we were in our house!

A while after that a wave of tiredness hit me that I couldn’t ignore. It didn’t help that I wasn’t feeling all that well again. I had an awful week last week, but surprisingly I suddenly started feeling better around 5 pm on Saturday and managed to get a lot of gardening work done over the weekend. I must have over did it though because I’m back to feeling crummy. Not as bad as last week though! Small blessing I guess.

If this keeps up I’m not sure how I’ll ever get anything done. I must start feeling better – and getting better sleep.





Couch Potato

by

I spent the day yesterday on the couch. I never did get dressed. Nope. I stayed in my comfy PJ’s and just vegged out.

I’ve had an awful week. I have Crohns and it’s been acting up terribly. I’ve had little sleep in the past two weeks because of it. In fact, yesterday I’d stayed up all night because of the pain, and just as I was going to go to bed to try to get some sleep the pain suddenly got a lot worse. Knowing I couldn’t sleep until pure exhaustion took over I just stayed on the couch watching TV until I finally drifted off.

I didn’t really wake up until 6 p.m. yesterday. I still felt wiped out too.

I hate having days and weeks like this. It’s terrible.

Drug Rehab

by

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned in this blog that I’m a nurse. I’m actually an ER nurse. I probably don’t have to tell you that I see people at their worst. It just breaks my heart at times when I see someone that could possibly turn their life around come in time after time with drug overdoses. I wish we could get them all to go to rehab.

If you know someone that has a drug addiction try your best to get them to go into rehab. Better yet, if you can, you might want to read about the drug detox program at Stone Hawk and try to get the person in need of help into their drug rehab program. It sounds like they have come up with a well though out treatment plan.

It actually sounds like many of the people who currently work at Stone Hawk were once addicts themselves. Who better to understand what someone who’s addicted to drugs and who might be undergoing detox is going through than a former addict who’s been through all the stages themselves?

If you know someone in need of drug rehab take a moment to visit the site and get more information.

Nike Maxsight tinted contact lenses at Sanders Contacts

by

I’ve been a contact wearer ever since I was about 20 years old. I’ve tried a lot of brands, that I’ve purchased through opticians offices and Eye wear stores. It’s only recently, perhaps in the last year or so that I’ve begun to purchase contacts online.


In the past I’ve usually stuck with my favorite tried and true contact lenses but I think that this time round I might try the new Nike MaxSight Contacts from SandersContacts.com. These new contacts from Nike are tinted to eliminate glare and increase contrast.

There are different colors or rather tints of the Nike MaxSight Sport contact lenses. The grey green tinted ones are supposedly better for golfers, runners and those who tend to be outdoors in bright sunlight. Then there are amber tinted contacts that are designed for sports like soccer, tennis, baseball, football and other sports that require tracking a fast ball.

The lenses are on sale right now – about $2 off per box or a $10 rebate if you purchase four boxes of lenses at Sanders Contacts.

Sanders appears to be a good company to deal with. They have free shipping offers and ship new orders quickly, as well as having sales and rebates on various products or brands. They also accept all major credit cards so it’s quite easy to make a purchase from the company.

Check out the site and this new type of contact. I know I’m going to! Don’t be surprised if you see me wearing new tinted lenses soon. I hate wearing sunglasses so this is perfect!

My sunglasses are scratched!

by

I need a new pair of sunglasses!


I have a really nice pair that I bought a few years ago. I keep them in a glass case but somehow they’ve still managed to get a few scratches on them and I hate wearing scratched sunglasses.

I’m thinking of getting either designer sunglasses or maybe even motorcycle sunglasses. I haven’t decided yet.

Sometime on the weekend I’ll go shopping and spend some time trying on sunglasses in an eyewear store so I can see which style looks best on me.

How about you? Do you hate wearing scratched sunglasses?
