My First 2012

I can’t believe how often I don’t write anything, and how I don’t even remember here or think of it.

My last post was last year, so I didn’t even write about Valentine’s Day, and it was nice for me. My honey bought me another bead that goes on my expensive Pandora bracelet. And that is an expensive bracelet. It was a birthday present for me (December 20th) and altogether with the bracelet and additional beads, that bracelet cost about $800.

When I think of the craziness of that price I find it ridiculous. And other jewellery stores have come up with their versions of the Pandora. They’ve made them a bit cheaper, but also expensive so they can make like they’re just as good. So my Valentine’s Day bead on my bracelet was an additional $100, so I’ve got the most expensive piece of jewellery, other than the diamonds I’ve had, in my collection.

Because it cost that much for one bead, I thanked my sugar and decided that we didn’t need to go out on Valentine’s Day cuz I knew that would cost at least another $100 – I thought I’d save him some money.

Other than that, because we’ll be moving at the end of March, I’ve been going through stuff in our current apartment. The thing is… I haven’t packed anything. I keep pulling stuff out of cupboards, drawers, closets, and it’s just sitting out there. I’ve gotten stuff together and thrown it out, or given good stuff to Value Village, but I gotta get packing started so I don’t leave things to the last minute.

This is turning into a busy week with all kinds of appointments so mostly on those weeks I do nothing more than go into my Facebook, play a game, check people’s posts, and turn around to work on creating some jewellery.

If I’m not staying at home, I’m usually at some store somewhere buying something for the new place. The problem with that is, for example, I’ve bought curtains for one of the new bedrooms, including the curtain rod, and I haven’t taken any measurements of the new place window. So maybe those curtains and rod are not the right size *duh*. I’m hoping they are since I bought a nice style to go with stuff, but it’ll bug the shit out of me if I’ve had to go shopping and bought the wrong stuff.

Instead of shopping, I should start packing. My appointment today is a nice one – a dinner with an old friend this evening – so I have lots of time to go through more stuff, but let’s say I’m just gonna pack up all the stuff out of the bathroom cupboards. How ’bout I take all that stuff of the bathroom counter and pack it? That would be a good thing.

So there’s my recent lifestyle. Don’t know what’s going on with you guys, but I’d feel fine to hear about it :)

Happy New Year

I know I’m a day early for new year but since I thought of it, I figured I’d say it.

Since I’m not really in a talking mood at the moment, I’ll just say Happy New Year! and hope you have one. I have no plans for new year’s eve at the moment. If I’m feeling good tomorrow, maybe I’ll go out somewhere and get hammered – it would be nice if getting hammered would give me a 10-hour sleep, hopefully not a 3 or 4-hour sleep and then getting up feeling like shit.

Anyway, party yourselves silly tomorrow night and I’ll do it too – in some way :)

What’s Wrong with 4:30?

Sometimes I wake up at 3:30am, so I should be ecstatic for the sleep in to 4:30 – sometimes even 5:30 *woohoo!*.

I think I’m on my 4th week of relaxation, meaning no more chemo for another couple of weeks. I saw my family doctor and asked her to get me an appointment with an allergist, so that happens this week.

I’ve been doing a bunch of wondering – like do I want to bother with the chemo, especially since it’s gonna be stronger, which means I’ll also be on stronger anti-nausea pills. I’m wondering just what this is gonna do for me and should I even bother.

This Wednesday I go in to see the neuro doctor who I guess will also give me the results of this past week’s MRI. I’ll assume there’s a bunch of cancer gone, just based on that surgery, except I wasn’t too thrilled with my last appointment with him where he showed me the temporal lobe with a whole bunch of ‘net looking’ cancer going all across my temporal lobe. That just makes you feel like ‘well WyTF was I doing anything’?

I’m not feeling bad today, so I guess I should stop whining to myself and just shut up my thinking in some way. I’ll sit here drinking my tea, maybe make some jewellery, and I should probably go out to Costco since I’ve heard the weather’s not too bad. It’s really strange the days I’m at home, not going out. So boring while I try to amuse myself on Facebook and read others’ posts and play a game *yawn*.

Lots of appointments this week so I hope that ‘not too freezing cold’ weather lasts each time I’m out. And while I’m at it, I hope that outside starts brightening up soon, even though I know that doesn’t happen til after 7:30am. I like it when I can open the blinds and see the light. That makes daylight seem safe and optimistic to me.
