I have 2 things I want to talk about here today. My medications that are kicking my butt and the fact that the laundry facility's here where I live have been broken for the past week and no one is coming to fix them
To start with. My medications. I recently had 2 big med changes. I am now on Lunesta for sleep and Lyrica for my Fibromyalgia. Both of them are heavy duty drugs that grog me out so badly all I want to do is sleep. Well at least during the day I do. When it comes time for bed I can't seem to get tired enough to go in and fall asleep. Even taking the Lunesta. It's supposed to work in an hour and then the effectiveness is gone. Well I'm on the highest dose of it and I take it at 9 pm so I'll be ready to go to bed at 10 pm but it seems that I'm not tired enough to go to sleep till midnight. I tried taking it earlier and just fell asleep sitting up on the couch and when I'd wake up and go to bed I couldn't fall back to sleep. The meds work funny on me. I can take something at 8:30 and fall asleep at nine but if I take it at 9 I don't go to sleep till midnight. Give me a break.
The Lyrica is another story. I'm taking it twice a day now. In the morning and at bed. I get up in the morning dragging butt and it doesn't get any better through out the day. Half the time my eyes feel like they are crossing and I sit here on the couch falling asleep but when I go into the bedroom to sleep I can't. Either because the buzzer rings or the phone rings. There is no way to shut of the buzzer but I can shut off the ringer on the phone. When I do go in to sleep, I lay down and it's like I'm floating above my body. Then I fall into a real deep sleep. Of course I have to set an alarm so I won't sleep all day and into the night. I never go in to sleep after 3:30 pm and I don't drink anything with caffeine after 4 so I'll have a better chance of falling asleep at night. (NOT) I'd be better if I drank a pot of coffee before bed as coffee will make me sleep.
So here I sit this morning half asleep writing this.
OK on to my next rant. The laundry facilities here. We have washer's and dryers in all of the buildings. Well Monday I sent my home health aide to do my laundry as I do every Monday. First I had her go to the other end of my building and she came back and said the machines were unplugged and vandalized. So I called the company who puts the machines in the buildings to report the problem. They said they would get someone over there as quickly as they could. So I figured OK I'll send her over to the building I moved out of as I still have a key to the outside door and laundry room. Well she came back and said the machines over there were the same way as the machines in my building. So I called Mac Gray again to report more machines were vandalized. They were like, We'll get someone there when they get there. I was told someone would come on either Monday or Tuesday but when I checked the machines on Tuesday afternoon the machines hadn't even been touched. I called Mac Gray again to find out if they were coming to fix the machines yesterday and they said they should be fixed by Wednesday evening. I don't believe it at all now. In the past I have lost money in the machines and called to say they didn't work and the same day the machines were fixed and in a week I got my money back on what I spent and lost. Now that I need the machines to get my laundry done I'm not able to do it. I'd send my home health aide to the Laundromat but the closest on is in Webster and she would end up using the whole time she's supposed to be here just doing the laundry as it wouldn't be feasible to go back an forth. It's just that far away. So I'm stuck here with no way to get my laundry done. If the machines are not fixed by Monday though I will send her down to the laundromat as I have a few big things that need to be washed there as well. I was planning on sending her there sometime in September anyway so why not get them done early.
So that ends my 2 rants for the day. Hope they weren't to bad to read.
Have a great hump day and rest of the week.

One week and counting
Well it's been just over one week since I moved into the new apartment. I am way ahead of schedule as far as unpacking concidering where I was at this time the last time I moved. This is the second move in just under 2 years for me and the last time I moved it took me over 2 months to get most of my stuff unpacked just so I could walk around the apartment and now trip over a box. Right now it looks like I only have 4 boxes left to unpack. Of course there may be more in a closet that I haven't taken into concideration. In fact I think there is one in the front hall closet that I need to get out and unpack today. I've been looking for my electronic cigarette and that may be where it is as I haven't found it in any of the other boxes I've unpacked. I had forgotten about that box till just now.
I borrowed a TV from my upstairs neighbor. We are good friends and the TV that he's letting me borrow is one that he's not using. In fact it's his sister's but she doesn't use it either. I'm happy that I have the extra TV so I could hook up a TV for my kids in their room. The oldest one is here this weekend and is pleased as punch that he can play and be on the computer at the same time in his room. I have barely seen him since he got here. Only long enough for him to come out and get something to eat and then he's back in his room. I did make it clear to him that he can eat breakfast and lunch in his room but I expect him to eat dinner at the dining room table with me. There is no reason he can't eat with me. Most meals we eat take longer to cook than eat so 20 minutes out of his day isn't to much to ask. He's not happy with it but that's the rule that I'm going to inforce now that I have a kitchen table that's all cleaned off and in a place that I can use it. I haven't been able to use the table in about a year. It had become a catch all for stuff I didn't have place for in the kitchen, and other junk I just didn't know where to put. Now I have to find room for things and make sure that what ever I have doesn't get dumped on the table. I have a 3 drawer plastic thing that I have to clean out of junk and I'm going to put that out here to catch stuff I don't know where to put. I do have to move some stuff that I put in the Chifferobe because I plan on moving that to outside the bathroom as soon as I get help to move it.
Speaking of moving things, I'm not sure why I told people to put the bed where I did but now that I have been sleeping in it that way for over a week I don't like the placement of it and want to move the bed. My bed room isn't that big and I'm not sure how I'm going to get the 5 pieces of furniture in there and still be able to move around but I have to move it because the fug-sway isn't right. I'm not used to sleeping with the head of my bed the way it is and want to move it so it's on the opposite side of the room but not under the window. I'm finding out that there are only 3 outlets in the bedroom which is about 2 outlets to few. All the rooms are that way. There is only one outlet per wall even though code says that there is supposed to be one every 8 feet. I'm going to have to get a few more extension cords to make sure that I have enough power going to the things I need power to.
I love my apartment but am having a hard time adjusting to everyone being able to look in my windows. I need to get some curtain rods and curtains to hang. I have things that I had hung over the windows in my old apartment over the windows in the bedroom and I can hang the one back up on my bedroom window but the one in my sons room he's using to sleep with. If I can get him up later I'll dig out something else for him to sleep on so I can put up the blanket over his window. It will make the room real dark but that's the way I like to sleep and right now I have a light from a light post right outside my window shining in keeping me away. I'm not going to put it up though till I move the bedroom around and I hope I can get that done this weekend. I just have to round up some bodies to help. I can do some of it but it would be better if all I had to do was sit back and direct. My back would appreciate it very much. If I do move the furniture I know I'll be paying for it for a week. I guess if I want to go to church tomorrow I won't move anything today and I had better make sure I have nothing on the schedule for the next week. I don't think I do but I have to find my date book and make sure.
Well my big kitty that I call Fat Boy is up on the couch looking for attention so I'm going to stop writing for now. I'll let you know how the furniture move goes. If you don't hear from me for a week it may be because I can't type or lift my arms.
Have a great week.

Moving Stuff (part two)
Well I'm all moved. In fact my home health aide did the final cleaning of the old apartment yesterday and I turned in the keys. I think they will probably find more things that needed to be cleaned but my home health aide did quite a bit to clean it up and that's more than can be said for most people who move out of here.
I have a dishwasher............................................ That's so neat and needed.
I still have a lot of boxed in the new apartment that need to be unpacked. Here's the problem though, things are not in the same place they were in the old apartment so I have no place to put some stuff. Especially the things that were once on the little shelving unit next to the end of the couch where I always sit. That is now across the room with the printer on it. Some of the things, like the phone books can go back on there but the other stuff is things I like to have close and don't have anyplace to put them now. I suppose I can put some of the stuff on the bookcase that is now next to me but I don't want to load that up with stuff.
Well now that I'm here I've found some things that are not the same as the old apartment and the one before that. The bedroom is even smaller but now I have 2 bedrooms so I'm not going to complain to much about that. The living room is much bigger which is very nice and now I have a separate dining area for the table and side board. I like that quite well as well. It's nice to finally have the table cleared off so I can have people over to eat at it. I have already had someone over and had dinner there. The kitchen is also bigger. I have more cabinate space so I can put some of the stuff that was on the counter in the old apartment under the counter. I still have all the stuff that I had over the cabinets up there as there isn't that much more cabinate space and the shelves in the cabinets are low so I can't put tall stuff in them like the old place. That stuff is under the counter now. I have a fairly new refrigerator and that's nice. However, when they came in to clean the apartment the refrigerator got turned up all the way and everything in it froze before I knew what was happening. I turned it down and it seems to be better. I have found that I need to get at least 3 more lamps for the apartment though. I only have 3 now, one in the living room, one in my son's room and one in my bedroom. I need to get at least 2 more for the living room and one for the dining room. It gets very dark because I have no ceiling lights except for the kitchen, hall and bathroom.
And speaking of the bathroom, I have never seen one so small. There is about 4 inches from the side of the toilet to the wall, 4 inches from the vanity to the toilet and the same from the vanity to the bath tub. The bath tub is even shorter that my old one. The room isn't big enough for me to stand in front of the vanity and have the door open. It's not only small in lenght but narrow as well. Plus the door doesn't like to shut without having to push real hard on it. I don't know why the painters feel they have to paint over the hinges but it makes doors hard to close when they do that. Come to think of it all the doors except the front door don't close all the way unless you push hard on them. But the bathroom is bad because the door knobe doesn't always open the door. I got stuck in there for about 15 minutes the other day because I couldn't get the knob to turn all the way.
My front door on the other hand doesn't latch. If I leave it unlocked and someone opens the security door up stairs or in the hall down here my door opens from the air pressure. And locking it takes a lot as well. You have to jiggle the door back and forth to get it to lock. Not something you want to do when your half asleep in the evening. I have made a list of things that need to be fixed here and hope that the guys show up today to fix them. Especially the front door. I don't want to leave it unlocked to just pop open and have the cats wander out because of it. I also don't want to keep it locked all the time because my friend comes over and can't juggle the door to lock it.
The dishwasher has a wheel that comes off but that's minor. It does make noises when it starts up and if and when the guys come to fix stuff I'll start it up to show them the noise it makes. I had to run out and buy dishwasher detergent for it but didn't get the one I wanted. I have to get a rinse aide for now but next time I get the stuff for it I'll read the package completely to make sure it's one that has the rinse aide included.
Can't wait for cable, internet and phone to go on tomorrow. There had better not be a hitch with that or I'll be very upset. I need to call Charter today to check and make sure they will be coming tomorrow. Right now I'm piggy backing on my friends internet and because his apartment is next to mine I can use one of his many hand sets for his phone in my apartment so I can make calls. My cell doesn't come in to well here in this apartment like it did in the old one. I'll be happy when I have my own phone and secure internet.
Oh yah, if anyone finds a pair of wire rimmed reading glasses, power 1.75 or 1.50 they are mine. I seem to have lost them somewhere in this vast space I now have in my new apartment.
Good bye for now and if you find my glasses let me know. In fact if your in the neighborhood stop in and see me.

Help I'm drowning in a sea of boxes
Well it D day in 2 days. At least that's the plan. I have boxes everywhere in the house and am triping over them. That's a hazard for someone who has problems just walking. I can't use the cane and there are so many boxes that I have to step over some to get where I need to get to. The kitchen is almost completely done. All I have to do is the stuff on top of the cabinates. I am going to pack all the pots and pans and stuff, only leaving out some paper plates and a knife to cut the pizza's I'm going to get if I can get to the store today. I had a hard time cooking dinner last night as most of the stuff I needed to stir, flip and cut with were already packed away. It was a trip trying to cut up chicken breast on the counter with a bread knife but I got it done and it wasn't mangled to badly.
Because of all that's going on I'm understandably stress to the max. I have had a migrane for going on 2 days now and even the Tylenol that I've been taking isn't doing anything. I might as well be taking sugar pills. I have tried taking something for anxiety with the Tylenol but then all I want to do is go to sleep and I can't because there is to much to do around here. Even the cats are stressed over not having room to move. Middy does, however, like the boxes that are stacked up because now she can get up on top of the bookcase and microwave and knock the stuff off there. I have even caught her eating my plant which isn't good.
I have been watching movies but feel today I should pack them up to be ready for Thursday. That means I won't have anything to watch on TV. I think I can borrow some movies from my friend that lives up here but he has a limited selection and that's mostly horror movies which I don't care to watch. We'll see what he has and maybe I'll borrow them. I could always just sit here and watch Lord of the Rings, all 3 of them, over and over till they are burned into my mind. I had never seen all of the movies, only bits and pieces of the three of them, and had parts mixed up to the point where I didn't know which movie the parts I'd seen came from. Now I have seen all 3 and wouldn't mind watching them again. Plus it's a good way to kill 6 plus hours. I have also been reading a lot on my Nook and I had ordered 3 books from Barnes and Noble and read those in 2.5 days. I have also gotten the last of my regular yarn and have been crocheting while watching movies to keep my hands busy so I won't smoke. I feel like I'm going to explode right now because I haven't been able to watch Judge Judy or any of my other shows for almost a month now. I can't wait till the 22nd for the cable to be turned back on.
My oldest son has been here and it's been tough trying to balance being a mother and all the packing as well. He wants to stay up all night and sleep during the day which is screwing with my packing of the bed room. Plus he has his X-box games spread out all over the living room and no matter how many times I stack them up or put them in his bag they end up all over the place the next day. He doesn't seem to understand that we are moving and he needs to keep his stuff together so it doesn't get packed in a box where he might not see it for months. I have a feeling that's how long it will be till I can get every thing unpacked. I have been marking the boxes but sometimes things get missed and don't show up for a while.
Well better get doing something even if it's wrong. Besides I need to clean a disc so it will play in the VCR.
Later.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh finally............
I got my computer back today. It still has the same problems but after trying to get someone on the phone while trying to see if I could change the sound settings and getting sound finally out of the computer I gave up trying to talk to someone. Besides I'm still using my cell as a primary phone and am running low on minutes so after waiting 5 minutes for someone to pick up I just gave up.
I fixed the sound problem myself anyway. The other problem I don't think it's ever going to get fixed so I've kind of resigned myself to the fact that I've got a lemon and that's that. I think I can get by with using an external mouse so my answers to questions don't just change on their own anymore. That's what happens when I use the mouse pad on the computer. The cursor goes where it wants and my answers just change on their own. I do a lot of surveys online and having my answers change sucks.
My oldest son is here for a while. I know he goes back to school towards the end of the month so I want to spend as much time with him as possible. His only problem is he stays up all night and sleeps half the day. It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't keep the light in the living room on and talk so loudly while playing on the X-box. We still have the internet (I have no idea why when everything else has been shut off) so I'm able to connect with the outside world which is nice. I'm not making any calls to the cable company to let them know they didn't shut me off the internet because my son would be calling his dad to take him home and I wouldn't see him till the cable and stuff came on in the new apartment.
Speaking of which, it looks like I'll be moving in there on the 16th. I found out RCAP inspected the apartment last Friday but I still haven't heard from anyone as to how much I have to pay for rent. I need to call them and find that out but that means I have to get dressed and go to my friends house who lives up here near me and I'm not in the mood to do that. Tomorrow I have to go out so I'm hoping that he'll feel up to having company so I can make the phone call then. I need to call and find out what's happening so I can get stuffed packed quickly. I really need to get on the stick and do that. I plan on having my home health aide help me on Friday, Monday and Wednesday help me do what needs to be done so on Thursday when the guys get here everything is done and can be moved with ease. Of course there will be some stuff that I'll have to move on Friday but for the most part I want everything packed and ready. I still haven't figured out where I'm putting the boxes as there isn't much room in here along walls and I trip on things in the middle of the room and don't like falling. I have no idea where to put things. I have to much stuff for the size of the apartment but I'll have more room when I move and can put things away instead of stacked on top of the cabinets and on the table. I'll finally have counter space for all my kitchen appliances in the kitchen. I'll also have a dining room so I won't be tripping over the chairs in the hallway. My sons will also have their room so I'm putting the desk and desk chair in there for them to work on. One more thing out of the living room. But I may not have room for all my bedroom stuff in my bedroom and may need to put the chifferobe in the living room. (that is a double closet with drawers in the center in case your wondering) It my have another name but that's what my grandma called it.
I hope all goes well in the next week and things go the way I need them to go. Please wish me luck and pray for me. Thanks.
I fixed the sound problem myself anyway. The other problem I don't think it's ever going to get fixed so I've kind of resigned myself to the fact that I've got a lemon and that's that. I think I can get by with using an external mouse so my answers to questions don't just change on their own anymore. That's what happens when I use the mouse pad on the computer. The cursor goes where it wants and my answers just change on their own. I do a lot of surveys online and having my answers change sucks.
My oldest son is here for a while. I know he goes back to school towards the end of the month so I want to spend as much time with him as possible. His only problem is he stays up all night and sleeps half the day. It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't keep the light in the living room on and talk so loudly while playing on the X-box. We still have the internet (I have no idea why when everything else has been shut off) so I'm able to connect with the outside world which is nice. I'm not making any calls to the cable company to let them know they didn't shut me off the internet because my son would be calling his dad to take him home and I wouldn't see him till the cable and stuff came on in the new apartment.
Speaking of which, it looks like I'll be moving in there on the 16th. I found out RCAP inspected the apartment last Friday but I still haven't heard from anyone as to how much I have to pay for rent. I need to call them and find that out but that means I have to get dressed and go to my friends house who lives up here near me and I'm not in the mood to do that.
