I'm trying to participate in NaNoWriMo this year. Unsuccessfully, I might add. I've written all of 350 words since Sunday when I finally signed up. My problem? My mom won't leave me the hell alone. Every couple of minutes she has to ask a question. Or know what I'm doing. Or something. Then there's the fighting. Always with the fighting ( Read more... )

Today there was another blowup at the house. My mom is trying to find an addiction/psych inpatient program for him - one that is free, natch. Guess who gets to help! Yes, me. Her excuse? "I'm mentally unstable." Uhm....so am I. That's why I'm here. Mental instability all up in my business ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of taking a glucose tolerance test. My left forearm is now bruised from elbow crease to wrist. Lame. On the bright side, the particular vein that ran from elbow to wrist was cooperating, so I only needed 8 sticks to get 6 tubes o' blood. The other lame part about the test is that it takes four freaking hours. ( Read more... )

It's such a nice weekend here at Casa del Familia. My mom is asleep, dad is playing poker in his room and will go work then play poker tonight and brother is in Bedford, PA with his girlfriend until Sunday ( Read more... )

Today, my doctor gave me stronger muscle relaxers. I am very pleased. Very, very pleased. I was at the point that I was going to order Soma from India (I may still, depending on if/when disability payments kick in.) But today he prescribed Zanaflex. I had taken it a couple years ago, boy from work who I fucked a couple times had given me a few ( Read more... )
