i got up at a reasonable hour and had some coffee and got out my kashi granola bar and forgot to eat it. i then got ready to dye around 10 lbs of fiber and yarn. this took a while. then, i decided to skein a bit of my yarn. i got ready to go out with jake and his folks, who i haven’t gone out with in ages. it is after 5 pm at this point and in addition to getting up earlyish, doing a lot of work, cleaning and rearranging the kitchen and the living room, i was out in the sun (lupus doesn’t like the sun) hanging up yarn and fiber and then for a bit longer just enjoying sun. i take a shower and get dressed, etc, and start to feel crummy. start to get a headache. we get in the car to meet the folks and i get the mercury taste in my mouth. start to feel panicky, like i am going to barf, or cry. knowing that i waited too long to eat, didn’t drink anything but a soda and a double coffee with a teaspoon of cane sugar (mmmm) and whipped cream which qualifies as a meal in my world. when i was in high school i forgot to eat a lot and migraine meds weren’t anything back then so i always ended up in the hospital. not good. anyway, jake dropped me back off at home and amy hung out with me for a while (i am sure she was irritated and hated me. i hate me. but jake did offer for her to still come with. i would have if i were her.) and i waited for the drugs to do their magic. which they did, until now when i am starting to feel crappy again. so i did eat the kashi granola bar thingy (i love em!) and then jakey brought me leftovers from smokey bones, the new crap restaurant in town. the ribs were the most peppery/salty/dry things i have ever had. actually, there is this other local restaurant called the pepperwood grille that had the sickest food we (this meaning everyone there and everyone had different things and we all thought it was sickening) have had in a long long time. nasty. everything was coated in pepper. when i complained, they said that the name is pepperwood grill and so they use lots and lots of pepper. i am talking pepper encrusted. disgusting. also, amy got a salad that had peaches on it…tinned peaches. seriously. maybe in deadwood tinned peaches are a big deal, but not so much when you pay 20 bucks for a salad. anyway. i blow. but i got a lot of stuff done. i need to skein the sock yarn this weekend and it is ready to go.

i am sleepy. my meds are catching up with me. which is good. cause sleepy is better than migrainy.

oh, almost forgot, jake’s rash spread and is insanely itchy. he went to the dr, i called and got him in…i was ready for a fight…he has shingles and they gave him valtrex and cortisone cream and pain pills. anyway, i will keep you all abreast of his rash development. oh, also, the doctor said that if someone (me) hasn’t had chicken pox, they can get it. so keep your fingers crossed. i have my monthly dr’s appointment on monday so i will ask him if he thinks i need to take an antiviral. fingers crossed.

i cannot wait to spin all the fiber i dyed. i will take some photos, i swear. i should’ve done it when it was all hanging up. i really should add some spinning fiber to my site and i need to figure out what i will send to the charkas for africa program.

ok. sleepies.
