I really miss writing here. I lost my mojo for a while and I think I see it poking around the corner of the outhouse door, which is where I have been for quite a while. I do want to at least write about how life has treated me. It is not pretty I assure you. I thought I heard when life gives you eggs, make an omelet but I am afraid I left the shells in it. I am STILL unemployed. I love it, ha ha ha, I mean what is the big fucking deal anyways, who needs money? I have been busy though, I have been freelance writing (boring!) and writing, writing writing. My camera is never still and I have wayyy too many blogs to count. Why count them when I do not use them? You can call me lazy, that is fine. You can tell me I am not worth a shit, but don't waste your breath, I have already called myself that. Going on job interviews, whoa now there is some fun. I spent five hours at one company, FIVE HOURS!  They told me a month later they were not going to hire anyone. Duhhhhhh, stupid asses. Went to another place, very close to home and had a great interview, but nooooooo, they did not hire me. One month later they had another ad in the paper for the same damn job. Fuck em, I did not want to work there anyways.

Then I started noticing my fingernails were growing over the edge of my fingers. I mean straight over the edge pointing to the palm. Weird stuff, damn I should take pictures. A couple of months later my youngest grandchild, bless her little heart, informed me I was going bald. Damn I love that child. So here I sit, looking for work, writing for someone else's blogs, worrying about life and just basically being a veritable lump. My thirst starts growing, I mean it is bad. Thirsty as in water,  needed badly, and lots of it. Gallons I might say. I also cannot think very well, mind is as clear as mud, and I am starting to sleep during the day. Then (don't read any further if you are a wuss) I developed an itch. Yeah this itch was bigger than Godzilla, more than even Chuck Norris could deal with. Do I have to tell you where it was? I did not think so. Oh my god this itch took me beyond hell, I dug and scratched and peeled and dug some more and peeled like a third degree sunburn. I went to a clam doctor and was told I had no STD, no herpes or any other socially transmitted diseases, just old skin. Yes you heard me, old skin. I took the cream and the plunger home and started on what was a unsuccesful journey to healing. So I went to another doctor, telling him I think I am diabetic and voila, I am. Sugar will not even read on a meter, it was that high. Come to find out, I have been sick for quite a while and was close to a coma. That is why I am losing my hair and growing curled fingernails. I have to say, if I did not laugh I would curl into the fetal position and crying.  So I am trying to put the pieces together and start writing here at least as much as I can.




Love you guys
Not your typical old woman

With Irene bearing down on your area, I was thinking about you (again), and I was going to email you after I finished doing my cyber-chores. Yo and behold, there was this sign of life from you! I am really sorry that things have been so rough, and I even more sorry about not trying to check in on you earlier.

FishHawk, you know I adore you. First, the hurricane is only giving us wind gusts and some much needed rain. I have been through three since moving here and this one is a baby compared. Please don't feel bad about anything, as I could as easily have gotten up with you. I am very glad to see you!

Great to see a post from you. Wow, you've really had some issues to deal with. When you were talking about drinking so much water the first thought I had was diabetes. Yep, that's a big sign. I'm glad you got to the right doctor.

Have a terrific day honey. Things will look up soon. I'm sure of it as you are taking care of one really big medical issue that will make all the difference in the world. Big hugs. :)

Sandee, you are one who has always been there. You cheer me up more than you know. Thank you for being you.
