Still haven't felt the greatest.
Still having bowel problems and stomach pain.
This has been on and off for about a month or so.
Now have muscles aches in buttocks, leg and lower back.
Been trying to read in my home remedy books when I can.
Today I have decided to cut back on pop and drink
more water. Can't cut the pop out completely
as I feel caffeine is addicting and if I don't get
some in moderation I get headaches and mood swings.
My left buttock muscle hurts so bad to the touch
you would have thought I fell on it. I even checked
for a bruise which I didn't have.
Then it dawned on me last night what the problem may be.
When you experience bowel problems it could cause
dehydration. Dehydration can cause muscle pain.
So like I said, today I am trying to drink more water.
--------------------------------------------------
Today has been a busy day as we just got home for the first
time since seeing the kids off on the bus this morning.
We went out to eat at Tee-jays for Tony's birthday.
Took my parents along then afterwards went to see
a movie at Easton. We saw Blind Side. Mom had received
a gift certificate and it didn't cost the four of us
anything.
During the movie
I felt so thirsty and got up to find a drinking fountain.
As luck would have it I took a big ole swig of water from
the fountain to realize it was hot water! YUCK!
I went to the concession counter and wanted a cup of
water. They didn't sell cups of water. BUT they had
bottles of water that was $3.75 and $5.00!!!! OUCH!!!
So I got the 20 ounce $3.75 water because I was so thirsty.
And I still can't get over the price. I was even half
tempted to go to the bathroom and cup my hands and
drink water from the sink.
Next time I will be taking my drinks with me inside
my purse!! I really didn't think I would be needing something
to drink while there but with not feeling well felt
the sudden desire to want some water to drink.
So always go prepared to the movies!
---------------------------------------
After the movie we all went to McDonalds to have lunch.
Me and Tony got the McRib that's supposed to be all the rave.
No rave from us! This thing was drowning in bbq sauce
to the point it was disgusting! They did have a sale
of $1.00 for any size drink.
---------------------------------------
After lunch me and Tony went over to get the title done
on our suburban at Karl/Morse Rd. Then off to the bmv
on Kenny Rd to get plates and renew Tony's license.
We didn't dare to go to the BMV at Karl/Morse Rd.
as it's always packed!
I told Tony while there to get the tags renewed on the
car trailer. Come to find out the trailer is in my name.
I was cursing under my breath because I now have yet
another one of those new $20 late fees. The trailer was
due back in November. GRRRRR! They've gotten me
for $40 in these new fees now! I'm not a happy camper!
There is a law suit out about those fees. The BMV claims
they have paperwork posted in their offices for
everyone to see. WHERE? I was in two of their offices
today and didn't see anything!!
I did make the lady behind the counter know that I was
well aware of the scam! And how many people it involved,
how much money was made and in how many months.
Not that it was her fault but I was fuming and
had knowledge to the whole situation.

I just took another ERewards Survey.
I am like one survey away from getting
another $25 gift card! Woo Hoo!
That'll be $50 in gift cards in 6 months.
I would have had it sooner but missed
seeing a couple surveys to take.
Not an instant money maker as it takes
time to build up and wait for them to
send surveys.
I still have my $25 gift card from Kroger.
Plus another $25 gift card for Lowes.
A $5.00 gift card from another survey site.
And still have to get my rebate checks
and other survey checks in the bank soon.
Remember Pinecone Research pays you $3 for
each survey they send you!
Hey any money made from these things
help out so much! It's better than nothing!
-------------------------------------
Don't forget to get your printable coupons!
It's almost the end of the month.
The coupons will change February 1st
so get them while you can!

Think I'll head to the bedroom to rest and watch tv.
It's only 5pm and if you know me I normally
like to stay up late.
Don't know what the deal is with feeling crappy lately
but am thinking the electric blanket sounds mighty
good at the moment.
Tony keeps asking when the last time I saw a doctor.
Oh about 9 years ago. I said I have survived all
these years without seeing one. Ok I did see urgent
care one time a couple years ago at fault of mine.
I was trimming bushes that had poison ivy in them.
But I don't consider that seeing a doctor for a check
up or being sick. I just don't like doctors and don't
see one unless it is absolutely needed.
Like I said 99% of the time if I wait out my
problems they disappear.
I can't figure this crap out at the moment though.
Diareah, body aches, stomach pains. BUT no fever!
So going to go rest. Rest is the best medicine
sometimes. But I feel resting too much makes
it feel worse so try to keep moving throughout
the day taking many breaks.
