So my companion called me earlier to let me know that he bought a buddy's 2007 Chevy Impala. Oh, what a car will mean again. Right now he lives about half hour forty-five minutes away. My life if actually moving forward and not one bad thing after another. Yeah for us

Starting some time in the next month my partner and I will be getting a car. I have my license and driven often, not regular for over 10+ years. Come winter we're planning on traveling from Indiana to Virginia and then Texas. In essence my body is not used to regularly sitting in a car. Most my shopping done my others. What advice can you offer to help longer trips; other than stopping frequently to move around. Thank you all for any advice

Accept what is,
Let go of what was,
And have faith in what will be.
The best things in life aren't things.
Memories take us back,
Dreams take us forward.
Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.
When I hear somebody sing, "Life is hard," I am tempted to ask, "Compared to what?"
Hope ya liked these. Stay strong!!!

My lumbar is mangled with regrowth of spinal epidural lipomatosis and 2 new spots of stenosis. My right hip is bone on bone. Both hips have femoral acetabular impingement, bursitis, osteoarthritis, and bone spurs. I'm in so much pain. And that's just the bone stuff.
I need a break away from home for a few hours. To sip coffee and eat a bragel sandwich. It's so comforting and delicious. I want a grilled cheese sandwich really badly. Like down into my soul.

OMG my left hip is throbbing again. And my eyes...might as well be grapes at a wine stomping festival. I didn't sleep last night. I've been eating very poorly lately. I've been drinking IQ Joe instead of making myself a pot of coffee. Which is fine, it's strong coffee and it's toasted hazelnut flavor. It's delicious.
I have a big stash of coffee but I just got some special tea from August uncommon. And I want to have a tea party with my darling stupidhead wifey Pauley. I was thinking chicken salad sandwiches and biscotti and cinnamon tea for Pauley and pumpkin caramel rooibos tea for me. It's ridonkulously delicious. I think she might enjoy it.
I hate being home alone. I end up curled up in my bed with my blankie and lux my cow baby.
I am sweating quite a lot and I'm overheating. My psychiatrist thinks the sweating is being caused by my Zoloft so he reduced my dose. I guess my frequency of sweating has decreased. He said he wants to get me off Zoloft completely and increase my imipramine. I used to take 75mg of Zoloft and now I'm down to 50mg.
I'm gonna go lay down and meditate for a while...and other lies I tell myself.

I haven't had tummy problems this bad in a while. I feel like my tummy is full of gremlins. I keep having sharp stabby pain in the left side of my tummy.
Constipation sucks so much. It hurts like hell. My GI doctor wants me to start eating dark leafy greens and other fiber rich veggies and fruit. I haven't gotten it yet.
So about 5 days ago I got an email saying it was from my bank. They said a suspicious charge was made. I didn't recognize it so I contacted my bank and they disabled the card and were sending me a new card within 7 days. I thought ok great... until the online services I pay for started kicking back for not being able to process. So I'm gonna have lots of late fees. Fun times.

In other news...
My current #coffeeadventure is interesting. I made salted caramel flavored coffee, added white chocolate toffee flavor cappuccino powder, almond milk and a splash of cinnamon roll flavored coffee creamer. I know it's a lot, but you gotta trust me, it's better than 7-Eleven cappuccino. All of the flavors balance out. It's silky smooth and delicious.
My current pain level is 7.5. But my lumbar doesn't hurt at all so I suppose it's not so bad. But the intermittent rolling gut pain sucks.

So now, to recap...
I've got:
*Stenosis

*Bilateral femoral acetabular impingement (hips)
*Osteoarthritis in both hips
*Bilateral bursitis great
*Bilateral intermittent exotropia (eyes)
*Chronic GI distress and constipation
*Chronic migraine
*Seborrheic dermatitis on my entire scalp, face, ears, and beard.
* Schizoaffective
*Complex PTSD
*Borderline personality
I'm being treated for all of my health problems in various ways. My mental health is fantastic. I eat a flower each day and then I fart out clouds. Then the house sprites ate my toenails.

The pain came back yesterday. I was hoping it was just a fluke. But of course I'm not allowed to be pain free for more than 2 weeks.
My broken tooth really hurts but I haven't seen a dentist in 14 years. I require sedation. So I basically just said fuck dentists.
It's almost 6am. I've been typing this out for about 3 hours. I have no attention span. I really want maple Spam musubi. *Pause for nap* . My tummy hurts. I got sick 15 minutes ago. Today is luckily a weekend no appointments day. I am gonna take my meds and a gummy and have her put some CBD cream on my back....
*paused for 20 minutes to eat some generic Ritz crackers dipped in mango-apricot-peach for some breakfast snacks*
She's out cold asleep and I don't want to wake her up. I just need a gummy. Ugh this sucks.

1 reaction Well I ate a lot of gummies yesterday and didn't get high. I'm very disappointed. But I'll probably be high when I wake up.
My lumbar hurts so much. It feels like I got hit by a 2x4.
I wore a new ish shirt today. I got it 2 years ago but it arrived when it was starting to get warm so I put it in my closet and... promptly forgot about it. So fast forward to today. It's colder outside and I needed a long sleeve shirt. So imagine my ooooooh moment. I've gained a lot of weight since I got this shirt but it's soft and stretchy and comfy. I thought I looked kinda cute.
I just got really still so I could assess my physical health and chronic pain... my hips are sending pain down to my kne,
Tes. Which really sucks. But the pain in my lumbar is 3x worse.

Yes I understand we have fruit flies. No I don't know where they're coming from. But fruit flies aren't the end of the world. It's not reason for stopping normal cleaning and taking care of me. This is what you want to get paid for so fucking do it and quit bitching. I'm trying to help but my pain is still so high and I can't stand for more than 10 minutes. I shouldn't be doing your chores. I'm paying for rent, electric, wifi, and half of the food. She has food stamps but when I asked her to please order groceries 5 days ago she was like I don't have enough money. I knew she had about 85 bucks but I didn't speak up.
When she moved in with me I told her she needs to pay 250 per month and she's gotta do dishes and clean. She hasn't had any money and I've paid for everything. And when we go to Canterbury village I'm the one paying. I have limited funds.
I'm so tired of being an adult human. I think today is a good day for puppy time. If you leave me biscuits and head scritches I'd be very happy.
