@Wildfire: I haven't had a reaction to the weather like that before but I don't know what else could have made my pain get so bad. Ian didn't affect me like that. Maybe because it came from the other direction? I really don't know. ^^;

And yeah, she had to evacuate her horse and several of the others (the others were handled by other people) during Ian, which was a huge to-do. I'm glad she didn't have to do that this time at least.

@Wildfire: Finding transport for all the horses, moving and hanging gates, food, hay, buckets, et cetera, and all on a time crunch; it's certainly an ordeal! I don't envy her that at all, lol.

Yes, I'm doing much better today!

How are you doing? :)

...ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ @Wildfire: got a couple of books yesterday, so I'll probably settle into a reading streatch haha. <:3( )~~

@Wildfire: Oh my gosh that's scary! I'm glad he's okay.

Americans do seem to have a hard time grasping the concept of roundabouts. ^^;;;

@CooperationIsKey: Yes, it's quite scary. I'm soooo glad it was low speed and very minor! Yeah, I don't understand what's so difficult about dealing with roundabouts -it's not hard. Of course, people also don't seem to understand right of way at a 4-way stop or the concepts of "travel lane / passing lane" or blinkers either...



@Rei Ann: My week is ... weird. slow? sad. chaotic. exhausting? I have been in denial, in mourning, in a semi-panic, grateful, focused, tired, unmotivated, disappointed, frustrated, etc. It has really been all over the map... there has really been a lot that has happened in my corner of the world this week. And here I was wondering why I was so tired today that I ended up taking a nap with the dog...

Man I think I need to put a heating pad on my neck for a while tonight. My neck has been so stiff for several days now, so much so that I can't pop it to relieve pressure as I normally would, and it just suuucks.

Also my back started hurting so bad at the grocery store that I nearly cried when we got home. And it hurt on the other side from my usual trouble spot. Which is just great. And on top of that I'm out of ibuprofen and tylenol doesn't do squat for me. So there's that.

I'm tired of pain.

@Rei Ann: The mixing part of metals is what ticks me off because they always advertise it as non-allergenic... stuff. meh. :c
no. Burning is not normal. XD lol!

@Wildfire: We watched Blue Steel. 1934 movie. We were the only ones to show up at the theatre. :c But- we had fun.
At least with us being the only ones there, I could explain the movie to the kids as it went on. It was hard to follow since sound quality and production quality are so outdated. o3o

I'm glad your son is okay! D:

@Mathonwy: LOL - One Piece is a weird, fun anime. I didn't realize there was now a movie. Even if you had seen the show, you'd probably have been lost anyway, tbh! XD It sounds like you enjoyed it nonetheless! :3


@CooperationIsKey: Wow. That sounds really horrible, Key. I would absolutely have ripped her a new one - blocking the exit, with screaming kids running around (while rewarding them for that behavior with ice cream?!!), but then also a hand in the face with a command others to wait?! Wow... yeah, I wouldn't have let that stand... but I also know that's easy to say when I wasn't the one there, and not in the kind of pain you describe. I'm sure you just wanted to get home. I really hope you're feeling better. Is it time to call the doctor if OTC pain meds and heating pads, etc., aren't doing anything to relieve your pain?

@koah: I honestly don't really watch anime or read manga (nothing against it, just outside of my experience). I think my friends were happy because they've always been trying to get my short attention span to watch anime for more than five minutes with them. XD But yeah, I would consider reading/watching more One Piece because it's so clever and endearing to me and it has a fun premise.

@wildfire: It was great! =D It makes me wonder how much anime I'm missing out on since I don't really watch any. I've seen some of the classics like Akira and some of the Studio Ghibli films (if I can remember: Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and Grave of the Fireflies which broke my heart and I am NEVER watching again, ugh!), and I watched some of InuYasha and School Rumble with friends. That's my limited experience. Oh, and a friend made me watch three episodes of Trigun once, if I'm remembering the name correctly.

I'm more into Disney stuff when it comes to animation. My favorite films are Sleeping Beauty, The Black Cauldron, and Tangled, pretty much neck and neck with each other in my top three. The Black Cauldron is actually kind of a bad film in terms of its execution, but that's only because Disney did it dirty and didn't give it the attention it needed to be great, and that hurts me especially since Eilonwy is the only Disney Princess with a name like mine! >.< No one knows how excited it can be to have a really weird ethnic name and then have a Disney Princess, of all things, have a name like yours.

@Koah: At one point yesterday I had a heating pad on my back and an ice pack on my neck (I strained it or something a few days ago and it's all stiff and achy too). And right? Just because you had kids doesn't mean you get to order anyone else around. On a freaking power trip.


@Wildfire: If she'd kept me any longer I would have started shouting. She was too busy flirting with some guy across the store to get her stupid butt out the door. I did respond to the hand with an incredulous "No!?" but then she physically stepped in front of my cart with her "I don't care!" comment (which doesn't... super make sense in context but okay). I'm just glad she did actually go out the door then.

God just thinking about it makes me mad again! XD;

As for bringing up my pain to my doctor, that's ... honestly pretty pointless or so it seems. I tried to tell him the last visit, maybe the last two visits, that my gabapentin dosage just isn't cutting it and he pretty much just waved me off. I think I need to be more assertive but my environment growing up was extremely punishing for having a backbone at all so I'm not very good at it I guess. ^^;
