Day 192. I went to a doctor's appointment today in the pouring rain. The rain has not stopped for days. I mean days. The pond is 3 1/2 feet deep and it is almost full. I am going to have to empty it soon.
It takes everything out of me to do the simplest things. It is frustrating that I am still sick this many days after my hospital stay.
Until tomorrow...

DAY ONE HUNDRED NINETY-ONE OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 191. Tonight I actually went out. My neighbor had a birthday pizza party and invited me. I figure I could sit at home or at her home. I chose her home. It was nice to get out for two hours and be around people. I slept good that night.
I had to stop the pain killers. I was having a hard time sleeping. They stop working for me after awhile. Then I can't sleep. I do have the weirdest dreams. I am not a person that dreams much or remembers them much. But on this medicine, I have the weirdest dreams that I remember. It is bizarre.

DAY ONE HUNDRED NINETY OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 190. Today is Lucky's birthday! She is around 8 years old. I could not get out and get her a special doggie cupcake so she got a liver treat. She loved it. Happi got one too just to be fair.
The dog walker came and took them both out for a walk in the rain. The dogs have been hating the rain. They don't want to go out for a walk. I think Happi slipped in the back yard. She is avoiding going in the backyard as much as she can. Poor baby. Three legs makes it hard when you slip.
Still trying to rest.

DAY ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-NINE OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 189. Happy Birthday to my sister-in-law and my friend B. I slept almost the whole day. I was very tired today. My shoulder blades are really sore. Not sure what that is all about.
Today I googled Meningitis. Gosh that is a scary thing to google. It is really serious. I am glad I didn't know all this information when I was in the hospital.

DAY ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-EIGHT OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 188. I cooked some food so I would have something to eat for a few days. I also relaxed. Tomorrow was supposed to be my first day back but I don't think I can drive so I told my client I could not attend. I still need to rest up.
Until tomorrow...

DAY ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-SEVEN OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 187. My brother left today but he will be back in a week. I slept a lot today. Just watched TV and hung out. My friend J came by to see me for a short while. He brought me a small plant. It was very sweet and I hope I don't kill the plant. It was nice to have a visitor.
Until tomorrow...

DAY ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-SIX OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 186. It has been hard to keep up with blogging. I think about what I want to write but I have no energy to open the computer and write any thing. I get so nauseous when my eyes move to much like typing or watching too much TV or driving or reading.
Today my brother arrived. He was supposed to arrive earlier in the day but his plane was delayed. I decided it was important to run some of my errands myself. I took a cab to the pharmacy and got my prescription, the bank to get some cash, and to the post office to pick up my mail. Then I came home in a cab.
When my brother arrived we went out to a restaurant and then to the supermarket. I got enough food to last another week.
My brother and sister-in-law sent me some adult coloring books and pencils. That was such a sweet gift.

DAY ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-FIVE OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 185. I had called for more pain killers a few days ago and today I called to follow up and the doctor's assistant said I had to come get the prescription. She said it was ready for a few days. I asked her why she didn't call to tell me? I was there yesterday and now I have to come back and I can't drive. Ergh...
I called my neighbor again and asked him if he could drive me again across town to pick up my prescription. Controlled substances can not be called in to a pharmacy anymore, I have to walk in with the prescription. Luckily (or unluckily) I spend so much time at the pharmacy they know me and filled the prescription quickly so I could go home to rest. Once again I got ill from all the movement. I came home and took a two hour nap.
My helper came over again to clean the house some more. She also walked the dogs, took out the trash, and did some more things. The house is all ready for my brother to visit tomorrow.

DAY ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-FOUR OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 184. I went to see my RA doc today. She was better than last time I was there. Maybe I was just feeling horrible, who knows.
I was correct that I will have to stop taking Enbrel. I can't take Humira either.
The plan is this: Wait until I feel better before I do anything. Once I feel better, start taking Plaquinel. She wants me to reduce my Prednisone dose. Come back and see her in 30 days. If I feel worse before 30 days, I am to call her. She thinks I may not need to go back on another arthritis medicine. I am not sure I agree with her but I will wait and see. Now I have all this Enbrel in my fridge I wish I could give to someone. I don't know anyone on Enbrel or I would give it to them.
On my way home from the doctor's I got really sick. I don't think I would make it back home before I vomited. I did and my friend K stayed with me for an hour to make sure I was okay. They said I was completely white. It took me about two hours to feel better. Movement makes me feel crappy. I need to stay in bed!

DAY ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-THREE OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 183.
Celebrate Good Times! Why am I celebrating? I am half-way through the Happiness Project! I have been writing and participating in the Happiness Project for 6-months!!! Yay!!
Today is the first day of March and the month of My Passions.
But first a recap of February and the month of Games I Want to Play.
“You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.”
Health update:
Today I had a person come over to help me with some things. She helped with taking out the trash, vacuuming the house, and some other small tasks that I can not do. I also had another person come and walk the dogs. He is going to walk the dogs for a while until I am feeling better. I appreciated my neighbors doing it but I felt I had been taking advantage now that I was home so I hired someone to come two times a day. The dogs are very happy.
I just have to rest more. I had another episode where I got light headed and faint. It is scary that it comes on so fast. I will try to rest more.
Until tomorrow...
Celebrate Good Times! Why am I celebrating? I am half-way through the Happiness Project! I have been writing and participating in the Happiness Project for 6-months!!! Yay!!
Today is the first day of March and the month of My Passions.
But first a recap of February and the month of Games I Want to Play.
- Do things that make you happy. - At the beginning of the month I did things that made me happy. I went to the museum, I went to two concerts, dinner with a friend, movie, out for ice cream, went to a sing-a-long movie, lunch with a friend, the Superbowl. I did a lot of things that made me happy.
- Do things you have never done before. - went to a sing-a-long and by myself. I went to the museum.
- See Lots of movies - I went to two movies. I wanted to go to more but I ended up in the hospital and that put a kink in my plans.
- Continue to Blog as long as it makes you happy. - was very tired of writing this blog but I have a renewed energy.
- Find someone to play board games - alas, I have no one play board games with. I will continue trying...
- Museums; Cultural things - I went to the museum. I had play tickets that I missed because I was in the hospital. Do rock concerts count? I went to two.
- Take time for projects - It was a short month made shorter by spending a week in the hospital. No dice here.
- Train for the Bike Ride (I know it is not a game but it is time to start training for July!) This was Play Wii more often. I can do that too! - I had to stop riding the bike when I got sick and then I was in the hospital. Nothing more to say.
“You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.”
- Visit places I have never been
- Cook food (eat food) I have never been able
- Take lots of pictures
- Sit on a rock in a desert
- Take a road trip or mini adventure
- Camping, concerts, Things on the fly and unexpected
- Just follow your passion
- See the world!
