I haven't been able to maintain an internet connection for several days now. It is so sporadic, and when I can get online I can't even get my email read until I'm getting kicked off again. So much for technology! Aside from being aggravated at the time I've wasted trying, I can't say my life is any different than when I'm online all day long.
I haven't been feeling well lately, and the worst was last night. It's acid reflux that I get now and then. I found some old Prevacid tablets, about a year past the use-by date and took one. Then I took an old prescription that I had gotten several years ago for a muscle spasm in my back. Then another prevacid - all of these with about an hour. They didn't last long and I felt better so was able to go back to sleep. Then the Stompers from upstairs began their nightly antics and I had to use the ear plugs.
(Before I get any un-needed (and unasked for) medical advice, I will tell you that I am aware of the fact I shouldn't mix medications nor should I keep old prescriptions. I hurt too badly to care.)
I think the Stompers probably work in a restaurant or bar setting where they have to speak loudly to be heard over all the noise. They just can't switch it off at 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. when they are sitting out on their little landing smoking cigarettes.
Speaking of cigarettes, I'm getting really strong cravings lately, and I think they are worse when I'm not feeling well.
To top off my night-time fun, the dog got sick, twice. Of course she can't do it in the kitchen or the bathroom where it would be easy to clean up. The second time was at 5 am and I just threw her out to spend the rest of the night on the patio. Needless to say I didn't get a whole lot of rest last night.
Life just has to get a little better, but I'm tired of waiting for better days.
By the way, I finally was able to stay online long enough to post this by carrying the computer, air card, antenna, etc., out on the patio. It's too chilly to stay out here long though, and pretty soon it will be too hot. So I'll say adios for today!

Sounds like your upstairs neighbors are a real pain! Any chance that they would listen to a request for quiet after 11PM?
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better. No advice since I am not licensed to practice medicine :)
Not going to give you advise, just want to suggest something. I have suffered with acid reflux for years and the thing that has helped me most is elevating my bed. Propping up on pillows won't work. Just stick a couple of bricks under your bed posts. It really does help a lot. Take care.
ReplyDeleteNot going to give you advice either, just information.
ReplyDeletePrevacid is a PPI drug (proton pump inhibitor) and it takes 2 weeks of taking them regularly on a daily basis before they start slowing down the acid production. Just saying.
And for instant relief, one can try a tums or rolaids.
There.. not telling you what to do, just information.
As for your resting and sleeping, I feel for you. Not getting good sleep at night can wreck your days. I hope you can find a solution to your neighbors.
Or better yet... pack up the tent and go camping! Nobody upstairs then! LOL

Gosh.. I only hit the button ONCE and it posted it three times??? Sorry!
ReplyDeleteTry getting up on the other side of the bed. (Hee Hee) :)
ReplyDeleteYep, it's that solar flare stuff again alright. Get's us types all the time gol dang it. Best thing for that is a little road dust for sure. Did ya get the email I sent you earlier in the week?
ReplyDeleteI sure hope this has been a better day for you. We're finally back out on the road again and my mood is improving with each mile that rolls under us.
ReplyDeleteI'm really lucky - acid reflux is not one of my problems. Hope both of you feel better today.
Hey, "What'su matter"? That the only problems you got? FUGETABOUTIT!!
ReplyDeleteYep, the sun solar flares are getting us too. We were hoping to see the northern lights the last couple nights, but too rainy. Tonight, we just didn't see them. Maybe next time. I hope your dog is ok. Take care. I have a shot gun if you need it for those upstairs. (kidding of course).
