I have such a bad case of the "I Don't Give A Shit" 's.

I know that I should get down and dirty and clean but I don't have any desire or ambition to to that.

I also know that I should get to the gym and get in a good workout but again....I don't want too.

I have been having insomnia for the past few weeks and if I GET in bed by 11pm, I don't get to sleep until 2 or 3am. To top it off I don't sleep soundly.

I have no energy! I have no desire!

The final clue was Valentine's Day. The day of love, romance and sweethearts!

My Hubby comes home with a piece of software and a cable for my cellphone. Stuff that I have been wanting, but not the least bit romantic. No mussy card - no flowers - no candy!

AND I DIDN'T CARE! I didn't have any feelings about it at all.

I think I am DEPRESSED!

I have a migraine brewing and I have to go to work.

:(

I sure hope the headache pills kick in soon.

I am going in for a physical this morning. Hubby and I are embarking on a new "healthy" journey and I thought I better see if I was up to it.

Would you believe that I have NEVER had a physical. Not a REAL physical, anyway. Oh sure, I go in every other year for my "female stuff", and I get my blood checked every so often when they feel the need, but never just because....

Well, this is a "just because" physical. I have NO IDEA what to expect. Are they going to drain me of all my blood to do all the testing. Are they going to make me pee in a cup? I love to do that. But they really need to make the cups bigger. Do I run a treadmill or other activities? Do they poke and prod in areas that do not like to be poked and prodded?

I think I have just scared myself! But I am going to be a big girl . . . head on out the door later this morning . . . and "Get Physical" *hear Olivia Newton John in the background?*

Anyone want to hlod my hand?

I just did a 35 min workout on my treadmill that kicked my ass. Max speed 4.5 Max incline 9. Not only did I get my heartrate up and break a good sweat, but I also worked a blister on my heel. OUCH!

Off to the showers.

One of the test that Dr. G - enter a strange India indian name here, ran last week was a cholesterol check.

I told Hubby, his cholesterol would be AWFUL. The man eats CRAP! He is a carboholic. If we go to a buffet where he can choose his own food, he comes back with a plate of mash potatoes, stuffing and corn and a couple of rolls. All piled together. No! I am NOT kidding.

The test are in.

No, not the granddaughter she is only 3 1/2 weeks. I am talking about ME!

I have had the "killer" flu for the past two days. Thankfully no puking but fever, aches, cough, stuffy. I have been flat on my back since Monday night. So now my body is all sore from laying down constantly. And still feel the need to lay down. So I am propped here at my desk hoping to work some of the kinks out.

I am suppose to pick up my mother-in-law from the airport at noon. But I don't think I can handle managing the airport traffic and the 87 miles round trip to take her home. (She lives on the other side of the city from me). So Hubby is going to try to get off work early and do it for me. Love you Hubby!

I am grumpy and I have the stuffy coughing headachy crud!

I need NyQuil and bed. Hope this shit doesn't go into my chest. I hate being sick.

I have to go to work for at least a few hours. I guess I will just not breathe while I am there. At least I am only risking a few peoples lives. No one else works today but me. Just my clients and me.

I want go hide under the covers and not come out until .... maybe never.

First the Dog Update.

Seems the "steroids" that he takes to keep the "discoid lupus" from eating away his nose, is causing the foot problem. According to "Dr Vet that I Don't Like" the tendons can get "loose and stretchy" when on steroids. So we are going to try to take him OFF the steroids and put him back on the Niacinamide and Tetracycline (6 pills a day). Hopefully his nose will not start rotting away again.

Kermit also got his “shots”.

Cost of treatment for Kerm: $102.00

Second the Hubby Update.

The NEW Doctor looked at the “wounds” on hubby’s shins and determined that they were “contact dermatitis” (NOT!) This is when I started to doubt that anyone in this whole office knows what they are talking about.

You see these “wounds” are old injuries such as scraps and cuts that just won’t heal. One of the scratches is from Kermit the Dog that happened about a year ago. It has never completely healed and still gets a scab on it. The only redeeming factor, was that she has ordered a blood workup to check his cholesterol and to see about diabetes.

Cost of treatment for Hubby: $20.00

I guess I have to keep the Hubby and get rid of the dog.
