Life changes:
EXERCISING: David is finally healthy enough to work out. I need him because I still get panicked in a gym — the loud noises, the coughing, the grunts, the mild yelling. We go back to our regular routine tomorrow. (Tues. Thurs. Sat.)
VITAMINS: We are both taking a multivitamin right now. David is taking an extra Vitamin D and Iron Supplement.
HEALTH: David has some sort of autoimmune disorder. This has been verified. (He has had it all his life.) His doctor finally pulled 3 more doctors into diagnosing it. It has all the symptoms of Chronh’s Disease, but he tests negative for Chrohn’s every time. It also has a skin sensitivity. David breaks out into hives when he touches cardboard or paper. Sometimes, he hives when I play with his skin with my nails. He hives when the cat’s scratch him. Hopefully, they will figure it out.
HEALTH (Abelle): My medications are everywhere. My psychiatrist quit Kaiser. Four others quit as well. Kaiser has one psychiatrist when the hospital should have ten. I cannot get the medication changed without a visit to the psychiatrist. It is a 6 month waiting period to see the only man. I have been reducing my Trazadone so I can wake up in the morning and not feel drunk. I need to lose weight desperately.
CATS: They are doing great. Bubsy has grown over ten pounds. We bought a small cat tree with a large basket at the top. They love it. They can sleep right near David’s head. Brook’s five-month battle with ring room is done! I even had to take the bed frame’s to stop them from attracted more hairs. She bit me about 30 times fighting the ring worm medication, so we bought a pill popper. We are on our fifth pill popper. Thankfully, she is now coming out more and interacting more. We need to get her ear’s checked.
RENT: I am grateful to Nathan. We made rent last month only because of him. This month we will be able to pay all our bills on our own.
JOBS: David applies to six to twenty jobs a day. Thankfully the stock market was closed today, but the economy is not helping either of us. I am applying for jobs. I get to a interview and never get hired. David found me a TJ Maxx and another secondhand clothing store. I bought a ton of clothing that fits and is comfortable. I also got out my African skirts and can wear them now too. BTW: my applying for jobs or going to interviews knocks me out for two days afterwards. I am that terrified. David still has two big jobs waiting with google and Amazon. These jobs take about 7 months to get to the hiring process. David has a good friend on the board of Google, so, here is hoping that helps. We would have to move to Seattle, but I actually like that idea. David’s best friend lives on one of the private islands west of Seattle. My sister is in Seattle. No problem with water shortages there.
