Warranty

I'm starting to wonder if my body has a limited warranty like cars.

Here's my theory:

New cars have warranties that are good for so many miles or so many years.

For the most part, my experience has been that the car runs great until the warranty runs out. Its as though the car has some internal *kill* switch within the computer that tells it when you've exceeded your warranty.

BOOM!

Right then the car begins to break down.

I think the warranty on my body expired on my 35th birthday.

It feels like everything that used to work, decided to start malfunctioning.
Nothing serious, just minor things.

Immune system - I've had more colds this year than I think I've had in the past ten years combined. That's not counting my propensity for bronchitis.

Allergies - I grew up here for goodness sake. Why do I now have allergies??

Gross bodily functions - We all have them, mine just don't work as efficiently as they used to. You don't even want to know!!! It ain't pleasant!

Eyesight - I've worn glasses since I was 5 and had to get new prescriptions each year up until my early 20's. By then things had leveled off and I could go a few years between new glasses. Seems I'm back on the downhill slope again. Sadly I won't be getting new glasses each year. I can't afford spending $400 a year for them.

Back problems - I went 35 years doing the same movement I did last Sunday, but that day was special. That day I pinched a nerve. Highly unrecommended!

Plantar fasciitis - thankfully this lovely little ailment has cleared itself up.

Pimples - Even during the height of puberty, I don't remember having this many zits.

I think it's time to start signing up for the HSA plans my company offers. I have a feeling my health is going to start costing me a bit of money.

Or maybe not. I rarely go to the doctor even if I'm really sick. I'll die at a fairly young age, thus leaving my family no medical bills that need to be paid! LOL

Just kidding!

CALGON! Take Me Away!!

Have you ever woke up one morning and before you even opened your eyes you knew it was going to be a long day?

Today is that day for me.

Several factors are contributing to my never ending morning (I'm hoping the afternoon will be better).

• I'm always a bit sluggish on Thursday mornings due to getting home so late from the temple the night before. Even if I get home before 10pm, I still feel the need to unwind for a bit and I don't get to bed until around 11. It may sound odd, but it's tiring to work at the temple. We change around what we're doing every hour, but most of the posts require you to stand and after 4 hours of that, I'm tired!!
• This next reason is one you may not really want to read about, but this is my blog and I'll write what I want! :-) Yesterday was day one of Aunt Flow coming for her visit and she has an uncanny ability to sap every last bit of energy out of my body for the 3 days she's here!
• On top of those two things, I'm suffering from a massive case of LAZY BUTT!! I just flat out don't want to do anything! For the past hour and a half I've needed to go to the bathroom, but I just can't be bothered! I don't even really want to finish this blog post, but it's at least passing some of the time away and it seems to be the only thing my brain wants to do even though it's taken 3 hours to type it up.

So, there you go. All I need now is a huge chunk of cheese to go with my whine!

Oh!, and I managed to slam my knee cap into the toilet paper holder as I was getting out of the shower this morning, I have a nasty little cold sore on my bottom lip thanks to my two week battle with whatever it was I was sick with, the bottoms of my feet hurt for who knows what reason and I have a headache.

CALGON! Take me away!!

Close your eyes and don’t pull the string!

The past few days I’ve been home sick. Two weeks ago it was a cold that turned into bronchitis. The cold was gone in two days, but the bronchitis decided to stick around. I finally went to the Dr. at lunchtime this past Tuesday and he prescribed a Z-pack and cough syrup with codeine (so I could finally sleep!!). I got home from work Tuesday and started taking my meds and darned if I didn’t start feeling worse!

I woke up Wednesday morning feeling the need to pray to the porcelain god and confound it if while I was bent over, it didn’t splash back up into my right eye! How stinkin’ disgusting is that?!?! I can laugh now, but at the time…UGH!

I know this is all stuff you wanted to hear about! :)

Later that day I was taking care of other bathroom related things and noticed a loose string on my garments. My codeine laced brain said, pull it! and so I did. That evening I’m again taking care of bathroom business and darned if the entire seem up the back of my garment bottom hasn’t come unraveled!!

Aren’t you glad you read to the very end??? LOL

Memo to me: Always close eyes when praying!
