12/06/2009 Title requiredMy insomnia is in charge again. However, I just found out why! After years of being diagnosed as being hypothyroid, I am now considered hyperthyroid. And I have a thyroid nodule that’s considered a “hot” spot.
When will they ever get it right?
So many tests taken and still more to do. The Princess said to me (just today!) “Why don’t you use the stables in Benbrook? (We’re thinking about getting in the horse business again and boarding them) All of your doctors are in Fort Worth”.
That’s a sad statement about my health. Although to look at me and live with me, you’d never know I have several different doctors. But the symptoms of being hyperthyroid REALLY do explain a lot of things!
My next step is probably doing a “fine needle aspiration” of my thyroid with an endocrinologist. Yep, sticking a needle in my neck and sucking out the juice. Been there done that.
Listen up…getting’ old is not for the squeamish.
I do take sleeping pills for the insomnia, but they’re beginning to fail me. Love the side effects of them, but they aren’t doing the job so much anymore. Like I said, hopefully they’ll get it figured out.
We had some wicked, wicked weather the other night. Wow. 3-5 inches nearly all at once. The rain started early Wednesday evening. Rain, hail, wind…the full monty. Hope 'g's brother fared alright.
Hubby’s shop is also the garage and I had to put the pickup in it during the middle of all this. His shop is not attached to the house. So, I had to walk about 300 yards all together. When the rain is coming at you sideways, umbrellas don’t mean a thing.
At it’s worst, over 500, 000 people in this area lost electricity. Even now as I type, about 120, 000 people still don’t have power.
Don’t you hate it when you click on a link to read something and what comes up is a full page of info that has no obvious way to quickly find what you wanted to read? And those 'Blogthings' quizes that want your cell phone number - drives me nuts.
For the last few weeks, I’ve been addicted to asparagus. I don’t know why. Couldn’t it be something cheaper, like zucchini? Or cabbage? I love cabbage. Boil it up with some fried bacon and chopped jalapeno - or Anaheim chilies? Mmmmm….good.
Okay - So I love food in general. So much for that skinny, energetic hyperthyroid theory. Weight loss, house cleaning, all that….yeah, right.
I’m also hooked on the sitcom, “Reba” starring Reba McEntire. The actor that plays her son-in-law is hilarious. At least in my simple mind he is.
Hubby’s becoming addicted to eBay. He bought his 4th fiddle and his 2nd order of sheet music. He also bought a few other music related items. You’d never know to look at him that he plays beautiful music.
Well, just look at that picture! He is about as “hick-a-fied” as you can get. He laughs at fart jokes. It’s an oxymoron.
The Princess wants to set up a summertime lemonade stand. I’m hoping she’ll do it on her parent’s shift. I hate sitting in the supra-heated sun. And at a buck a glass, I worry about that she won‘t have too many customers. She’s got a gimmick, though….she’s giving away handmade bookmarks with each glass.
The Princess is getting baptized this Sunday. And yes, she knows what she’s doing. She may only be 7, but she knows what Jesus did for her. And she knows that being baptized is only a show of obedience. It does nothing for eternal life.
So, as I’m sitting here, at 4:AM, watching a rerun of L&A Criminal Intent and I’ve lost track of the story line. I’m going to close out and go back to bed.
TTFN…
xoxo
