Overdue Update
It's been brought to my attention that I have not posted or e-mailed much lately (which is true), so here is a quick update on stuff.
There are Xavier pics at the end! Now you HAVE to read this. ;)
I still love my job, even though corporate keeps doing dumb things and we're kinda slow right now. I have a lot of requests, though, so I'm doing better than most people (much to their jealousy, but tough shit!) Justin's job is still putting us through hell with overtime and bad hours, but supposedly (lol) that will be ending soon. I think I will opt not to hold my breath. Blade is doing all right, though I can really see him aging a lot lately and he's having some bladder/bowel control problems in the house. That sucks... a lot. But, as long as he is happy and not suffering, I am lucky to have a Dane who is almost 10. Xavier turned 1 in December and he really is the perfect dog for us and just what I needed. I love the little snorty gremlin so much. The kitties are fine and enjoying our new 5 gallon fish tank Justin got me for Christmas. It's TV for cats as my mom put it. Justin and I mostly spend our time playing WoW (we made yet ANOTHER set of alts together, lol), or something on the PS3 my parents got us, or watching movies or shows. We use Itunes to DL stuff to watch a lot, too.
I've been feeling decent, the medications have made a huge difference for me. I'm up to 5 different ones now, ugh. But my quality of life is SO much better. My left arm/shoulder nerve problems are much better, and my nerve problem in my lower back isn't quite as painful. I have pain medication to relieve the general pain and stiffness of Fibromyalgia, and now I'm on an arthritis medication, too. They finally listened to me about that, and my fingers are noticably less puffy and I can actually make a fist when I wake up in the morning. I seem to creak less all over, too. I still feel like shit when I first wake up and need to take my pain meds, and migraines and fatigue still really knock me down at times, but in general, I am many times better than I was a year ago. I feel mentally better, too, which is arguably more important... but most of that is from not feeling like shit all the time.
Right now I am looking forward to my parents coming at the end of the month, and Justin maybe getting off OT and not having to get up at 2 a.m. any more.
And heeeere's Xavier!
Ahaha I just realized Blade's balls are in the right side of the first photo. But I am too lazy to go crop them out. Wow. rofl
