Small victories
I got through the last two mornings with no puking at all, in spite of having it penciled in for yesterday.
Yesterday was a series of naps, sitting up because I have the end of a cold, and if I fall asleep laying down I wake up coughing. So… Very…. Bored…
I can’t think straight to start a book, and I’m too stupid to put in a movie. I just obsessively click on the same web sites and my email over and over and over til I fall asleep again.
Sorry bout running up all your stats 
I see what you did right.
Every time I make plans to do something, it never happens. Penciling in the puking pretty much guaranteed it wouldn’t happen. Nice planning on your part.
I was having a problem sleeping lying down (chest injuries will do that to you, too,) and I ended up sleeping in a recliner. It helped. The only problem is that the recliner is in the living room on the west side of the house. There’s a pine tree right next to the west wall, and a northern mockingbird had a nest in that tree. It seems that unmated northern mockingbirds will sing all night long, and this guy couldn’t get laid to save my life. He’d start singing loudly at about midnight and keep it up all night.
If I had a point, it was something like “Try sleeping in a recliner, and avoid lonely northern mockingbirds.”
ahh… I love my recliner. If it wasn’t for that I’d be toast. I got it super cheap on clearance. It’s dark purple and fuzzy, I can’t figure why someone did not snap it up. I spent pretty much the whole weekend in it.
Still, after a while a person just longs to lay down in a bed. I just hope this cough goes away before we travel or everyone will think I’m dying.
We have horny mockingbirds here too. We try to scare them off if we can.
Sunday morning our hummingbird/oriole feeders were empty and I might have gotten an extra bit of sleep due to the quiet. But then I filled the feeders.
As for the scheduling, all I can say is, you cannot invoke Murphy’s law ahead of time. I did invoke some Marinols the night before though.
I hope your chest injury is a thing of the past.
Good job scheduling the puking, works for me every time. When I was post op someone advised me not to try to watch anything I really liked because I’d be falling asleep. No attention span either. I watched lots of those home and garden shows. Good luck.
Now I’m at work, that’s fairly mindless.
I’m sure if I had TV I’d be watching it. But I could be watching Bill and Ted’s something or other on DVD so I have no excuse
Thanks for stopping by….
TV is a total freaking necessity. I need to get in the car and bring you one. Maybe the mockingbird wasn’t really horny, it just wanted to watch HBO. No puking plus HBO would be like winning the lottery.
“Maybe the mockingbird wasn’t really horny, it just wanted to watch HBO.” This made me laugh out loud in the ugly hours of the morning
I need to blog about my love/hate relationship with TV. My mom *has* gotten in the car and brought me a tv.
I’m hoping you have Christina Applegate’s same brand of illness, since they immediately said she’ll be fine, kind of like a minor cold or pink eye. I’m totally guessing she’s using the old NBC, ABC, CBS therapy.
First of all I wish her the best of luck. I love her. The Bundys will have a position of honor in my blog about tv.
She has the kind where, when someone says “but you caught it early, right?” she nods and says “oh yes,” not “Er. Not exactly. But we are hoping for the best.” I have the latter kind. But I really am expecting a 60 year remission.
Ha… here’s another vote for no TV. Though I confess to watching House on hulu this season.
The only bad thing about it is that when the conversations at work turn to “Hey, did you see that stupid commercial for…” or “Tonight you’ve gotta watch…” everybody pretty much tunes me out of the conversation.
On the bright side, I didn’t see that stupid commercial.
I watched a whole season of The Office online in a few days. This means I saw the same 2 commercials every 7 minutes for DAYS. I have this craving to go to Target and chase hallucinatory red balls.
Whenever anyone says anything we don’t “get” we just say “is that TV?” But if it’s on, I can’t look away from it, and the commercials are the worst.
One time I was trying to eat in a brew pub, and they had one of those “make people let bugs crawl on them for money” shows on the TV. Ack. I got neck strain from trying not to look.
