Can you believe I’ve taken so long to blog here. Bah!! Not cool at all considering I do nothing all day. Yes, you heard me. Since my last couple of posts, I ended up quitting my job. I marched right in there and told them that I had to quit and even made a letter of resignation. They asked how come, if there was anything they could do to change my mind, etc. But the truth be told, I had to leave because of personal reasons (ie: just sick and tired of doing that kind of work, plus some supervisors just rubbed me the wrong way).

So here I am, free without really a care in the world. I blog when I can, watch my nephew a lot, and play WOW (World of Warcraft) with Jen almost everyday. We are definitely a duo to be reckoned with. Hahaha!!

Maybe I’ll find another job soon, but having some time off from work is always nice. Plus,  Halloween is just around the corner, then comes Christmas. On top of that, October & November are birthday crazy months in my family. My older sister’s was on Oct 16. Mine, on Oct 29. Then comes my dad Nov 9 and my nephew’s 1st birthday on the Nov 12th. Then after that in early December comes my parents anniversary. It gets pretty hectic trying to find everyone the perfect gifts, not only for their birthdays but right afterward for Christmas too! And think about the money!! I don’t know how I’m going to come up with it, but I’ll somehow manage.

Anyways, I don’t know how many of you regular readers remember when I woke up with a black tongue for the first time last year. Maybe this post will refresh your memory. Well, it seems that my other post that provides the explanation has helped soooo many people. The number of people getting black tongues is pretty astonishing. I have almost 200 responses and get comments almost everyday on that post.

At the time of the incident, the box I had never said it may cause a black tongue, so I’m not sure if the company has it now written as a label. I think everyone should be aware of it and hope it’s on the damn box. Since that time, I can’t say I really use it anymore. I try to ride out upset stomachs and it eventually passes – so no more black tongues for me. LOL!!

I know, I lack in updating. Blame it all on World of Warcraft. I can’t stop playing that online game. It’s so addicting but so much fun too. Yes…I’m now an official WOW dork.

Anyways, I’ve been suffering from this tooth ache for awhile now. People who follow me on twitter, probably heard me complain about it on numerous occasions. I chipped my tooth awhile back and didn’t get it fixed right away. Having that hole, seems to have caused some infection. Now I think I have a gum abscess which is not pretty at all.

And the pain……..OMGGGGGGGG…the pain. Words cannot describe it. I know I have to make a dentist appointment asap!! No waiting anymore. This abscess can cause a lot of bad stuff, not to mention the infection. If you do a search on what an abscess is, you’ll see it on people’s gums. It’s like a bubble that is filled with pus and needs to be drained.

The sad thing is, I’m currently not covered by any dental insurance. I was suppose to be covered after working six months at my job, yet I haven’t heard about anything yet. I’ll have to inquire about it the next time I go in for my shift.

I may need a root canal which can cost way too much $$$. Ranged from $350-$1000+ depending where you are. If it’s way too much for me to cover, I’ll probably end up getting my tooth pulled and the infection treated.

I can’t deal with this anymore. It hurts way too much and is swelling.

I’m sick…terribly sick. I even had to cancel two shifts from work (yesterday and today). The problem? I have this cough that is just not going away. I don’t know what to tell ya. I swear I cough over 200 times a day and I’m not even exaggerating. It seems like I cough every minute and sometimes it will last a whole minute in itself.

I think I have bronchitis or something. I’ve have bronchitis before when I was a child along with asthma which definitely wasn’t two things you should have together. But I think I have yet again got bronchitis. I think this is what I had earlier this year too. I didn’t go to the doctor then, but it lasted nearly a month.

My mom has a prescription to some kind of cough medicine that you can only get via prescription from a doctor. This cough medicine supposedly makes your cough go away in a day or two. It worked for my mom and even my aunt who my mom gave some to when she came over with a cough. So, I’m just hoping I can get my hands on some of that and maybe…just maybe my cough will go away? I hope so. I can’t be missing days of work all the time and I just can’t stand coughing 24/7.

Yes 24/7 of coughing…not a lie. Just imagine this…

Laying your head to go to bed at night and you’re coughing every couple of minutes. Then waking up in the middle of the night after you’ve slept for an hour or two and then coughing some more. You go to the bathroom and get a drink still coughing. Back to bed. You wake up a few times during the night because of coughing. Morning time. The alarm goes off and you start coughing. Get up and out of your bed to head to bathroom again still coughing. Heading to your kitchen to get something for breakfast, all the way coughing. Then throughout your entire friggin day coughing every couple of minutes.

• You can’t carry on a conversation with someone because you’re coughing.
• You can’t talk on the phone because you’ll cough.
• Don’t even think about walking around the block with the dog. You’ll be coughing up a storm.
• You’re trying to watch your favourite tv show but can’t hear because of your coughing. Turn the tv volume wayyy up.
• Don’t even think about even eating…you’ll cough and all your food will spit out.
• Same thing goes for drinking. Drink only after you’ve coughed or else you’ll have the consequence of spitting it everywhere or it coming out of your nose if you try to keep your mouth shut.

Try living like that…it’s not good at all!! And even throughout this entire week that I’ve managed to get this cough (since Monday when I noticed), I’ve lost 10lbs. Yes 10lbs! I mean…sure it’s something to celebrate but not like this. I know that’s not healthy at all and I know it’s due to having this cough.

Just the other day I spent the ENTIRE DAY…when I say the ENTIRE DAY…I mean when I wake up in the morning until 11pm at night before I fell back asleep…I spent it in bed watching movies. The only time I got up was to go to the bathroom or go get some more water. Crazy isn’t it? I just had no energy at all to move. I mean, I can be lazy at times believe me, but that day, I just couldn’t do anything.

Have I mentioned other things that’s happened during the this week? I also had a stuffy nose, watery eyes, pounding headache and now even muscles ache. My left arm is ABSOLUTELY killing me. It’s so tight and I can literally press down on muscles. Even a back muscle also on my left side is hurting.

I JUST WANT ALL THIS PAIN TO GO AWAY!!

I am seriously going to lose my mind and I know what you’re thinking, “What don’t you go see a doctor?” The problem with that is I can’t stand my family doctor. He’s an old geezer who never knows what’s wrong with me and just sends me to see specialists. My entire childhood was going from specialist to specialist that is one of the reasons I dispise him now. “Then why don’t you switch doctors?” The problem with that is the fact that no doctors in my area are willing to take on new patients. It’s a lose-lose situation for me. The only thing that comes to mind is for me to go to one of those free clinics. Now that will take hours since it’s ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS packed. We have over 10 in my city and no matter which one I go to, there will be a wait of an hour or more.

So I guess I’m just going to wait a few days. Until Tuesday at least. Hopefully my mom will get that cough medicine she keeps talking about and I’ll try it. If it doesn’t work, then I guess I have no choice but to see a doctor.

Every couple of weeks, I always end up hearing about somebody doing Colon Cleansing. It’s actually really weird the people I heard of doing it, don’t even know each other.

I guess people are trying to live healthier lifestyles and what better way to start it off just by getting rid of the toxins that are currently in your colon. Just imagine the amount of food you eat throughout a year. Now times that by how old you are. Just think of all the buildup that is currently in your colon after all those years. Plenty, that’s for sure.

I personally think that we should detoxify our body at least once a year. I haven’t done it yet myself, but I sure as heck am planning to. Well, that will happen when I’m completely off work and don’t have to leave the house because I’d need a bathroom around me asap. LOL!

I remember my dad telling me about this guy he works worth who ended up buying some sort of liquid that he drank to clean out his colon. And it sure did work. Don’t ask me how they came about this conversation, but the guy actually told my father about his bathroom visits and how nasty the smell was. Yes, you can gag now because I sure as heck did too!! LOL!

I’d rather endure the smell rather than have all that crap in you, building up over time. So…when are YOU cleaning out your colon?

I was lying in my bed just relaxing before I felt the need to get up and get on with the day, and something happened. I got a stupid charley horse (aka a muscle spasm in my right leg). I sat up really quickly because the pain was unbelievable. It hurt so damn much.

I don’t normally get these spasms. I get them once in a blue moon, but geeze…this one hurt like crazy. I was swearing up and down because of the pain. What a way to wake up in the morning!! Now, it’s gone away except that I can still feel some pain in the leg. For example, when I walk, I can’t put pressure on my right leg because it hurts still.

Arghh…seriously…why do charley horses happened anyways especially since I wasn’t doing anything except laying in bed. I DIDN’T EVEN STRETCH!!

I’m still not sure if that is a good thing or not?

But seriously…it seems that I have had this cold forever. It’s not going away and the cough is just plain annoying. How can you sleep when you are constantly coughing? I sure can’t…well not until I got Benylin as a few people I know both online and offline suggested to me. I got the day and night pills that are extra strength. I can honestly say I’m completely in love with the night ones. I pop two of those pills and bammmmmmmmm….I’m asleep in about five minutes.

One of my close friends named Roslyn, who I truly do consider as my “human best friend” (as you all know my dog is my best friend too lol)… because she knows me like a book and can tell when I’m upset, annoyed, pissed off, and even what I have to do in the bathroom. LOL! Anyways…she thinks I’m addicted to the pills…but I swear I’m not. They just work so damn great for sleeping at night when you are sick.

Anyways…you’re probably thinking why I didn’t name this post “popping pills” or something along those lines. In all honesty…I was actually going to blog about how friggin long some days really are. It seems that the days are going so slowly by because of the fact I just can’t wait until Sunday. It’s like it’s so damn far away or something. What’s special on Sunday?? Well, my older sister Lisa is throwing a tupperware party. Yippy!! LOL!…it’ll be the first one I have ever attended!! Sweet!! I can’t wait either because I’m going to see some people that I haven’t seen in awhile there.

So please….Sunday, HURRY UP!!!

Just when I thought I wasn’t going to get another cold this season, one hits me again. Err…I’m so not happy since I just got over having a cold a week ago. How do I know I’m getting yet another cold? Simply because of this nasty cough I have developed. That’s how all my colds start…always with a constant cough throughout a day.

Thank goodness I have Sudafed now. Man, I am so happy over that since it’ll make my cough go away quicker as it always works for me. The thing I’m not looking forward to is having to be on the phone all day when I’m at work and having to deal with this cough.

Anyways, I got so many photos I still need to upload to flickr that’s it’s unbelievable…so many occasions in February and I haven’t uploaded a single one. *sigh* … hopefully I’ll do that sometime tonight.
