What Historic Woman Are You?  Eleanor of Acquitaine One of the first great queens of England, Eleanor was her own woman. She married the French prince at 14, but after six years of marriage and no son, she divorced him and secretly married the younger (and wealthier) heir to the English throne. Her sons were some of the greatest monarchs in English history! You must be tenacious, audacious, and brave if you're like Eleanor.

As of late I've been posting at Livejournal and browsing through some of their communities. I really like their site and I might just change over to them...I'll let you guys know, if you're all that worried.
On Monday I went to my nephrologist, he uped my Cell Cept intake to three pills twice a day. These pills are f-in huge and they are a witch to swallow. I'm still on the Prednisone, 10mg a day and the Lisinopril. I love how the Prednisone takes the pain away so fast, but when it comes back four hours later it sucks. I also dislike the taste of that Prednisone, pew. Yesterday I saw my rheumatologist. I don't care for him anymore. He keeps telling me that you have to think of Lupus as the last thing...if you're not feeling well, go see your primary care physician...get blood work done...x-rays...etc...2 paychecks later I'm still not cured and I think it's the lupus. I think I saw him in February and I was feeling like CRAP and that's the story he gave me, it's not Lupus, you're not having a flare up...well, when I ended up at the hospital or close to it I thought otherwise. He prescribed Plaquenil for me so I'll finally get off those nasty steriods. I hope it works as well.
Since Tuesday I've been on a stretch of six days in a row. Yesterday was okay cuz' I got off about an hour early, otherwise I would have put in more than 40 hours in the week and overtime is not accepted. Living alone has grown on me. I love spending time with myself...you sickos...I'm usually sleeping or watching episodes of Friends. I love Friends. This next week on my two days off I'll be having follow up appointments with my two Doctors. In March, or whenever I saw them both, I was feeling great after I got on the drugs, but now things have gone downhill a bit and hopefully we'll be able to work through those problems. I'm still losing weight, every so often and my hair is still falling out. I feel vain even talking about it, but I miss it so much. I wish it would all just grow back right away. This weekend my cousin, who has been living in sin for a long time, is getting married. It should be a good celebration. This past week on Wednesday was the first time in my working of four years and eleven months that I wore a skirt to work. It was amazing. People were commenting that I looked really dressy and that we should have a camera handy...no one took a picture though, thank god. The last time I wore that same skirt was two years ago for my supervisors wedding. I had to purchase a girdle then and wear that to cover my paunch. Not this time though.
Got home today to find a surprise waiting for me. Evidently the day after the 4th a small visitor stopped by mom & dad's house and has been staying there ever since. It's a cute little orange and white kitten. It meows all the time, which is different since our other cat does no such thing. This little kitten is at a stage in his life where all he does is attack almost anything that moves and he sleeps whenever possible. He and I took a nap this afternoon, then I urinated and he took a dump, tried to cover it up but didn't do a very good job, fyi. Currently he's sleeping with mom. He is such a cutie, I wonder if we'll keep him. I doubt it since he doesn't get along with our other cat and we can't just throw our other cat out cuz' we love him too much.
I'm at Angie's house now cleaning out the last little bit that I have here. Over the weekend I cleaned out my cupboards and now I've just got about eight or so boxes to take away and I'll be gone forever. I got to see chewie this morning, oh how I've missed him. On another note, I have a small nubbin/scab behind my right ear, it's really bothering me...wait, I got it off, YAY!
We, Angie, Pa & Ma, Anno, and myself, moved almost everything on Sunday. My room is totally empty at Angie's house. I just need to get a few boxes from the garage and also bring over all of my food since I have none at my new place. I think it was a good move. We took breaks every once in awhile. That morning I got up at 7:45, I was planning on an early start but we didn't start till about 11:00 or so. We finished around...yeah, I don't really remember. We still had to mow the lawn and do some yardwork, I remember leaving by at least 8:00 or a bit before. It was a long day and I remember that I slept quite well that night. Sadly enough I already miss Chewie. I got called in to work today early and when I was getting ready I missed his little spurts of talking or screeching. I'll get used to it though, hopefully. I don't recall where half of my stuff is packed. I'll get around to unpacking eventually. Two weeks down the road I'm sure my spare room will still have as many boxes in it as it does now. Oh well.
Saturday was a busy day for Pa, Anno, and I. It was chilly and overcast which worked out quite well for us since we started painting in the house. Thankfully it wasn't overly hot and we weren't sweating profusely. Stephanie picked out the colors for the house, or the color I should say. We're painting almost all the rooms an Antique White, which reminds me of a creamy beige. It looks really nice. Pa & Anno painted the living room and my room on Saturday while I mowed the lawn at the front of the house. Today I had even more help. Ma took on the task of cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming the hardwood and washing the hardwood floors. Pa & Anno painted even more, did touch ups in my room, painted the hallway and the kitchen. Pa also painted the woodwork which was already white but he touched up on it and said that it looks just beautiful. I had the unfortunate task of mowing the lawn, again! This time I did the backyard. It wasn't too bad, my hands don't hurt as much as they did the first time. I did end up taking a break cuz' it is a lot of damn hard work. I was sweating up a storm. Eventually I had to have Anno finish up for me. It was funny watching her try to maneuver this push mower. We both missed the rider. After finishing the mowing I had to leave so that I could get ready for work...they finished the painting and washing the floors and brought in two rugs which I had purchased at Menards. One's a runner and the other is a 5' X 8' aerial rug. The rug is a mustard color and the runner has an assortment of flowers on it. Everyone said it looked really nice...I'm going to have to go and check it out this evening after work. I can't believe in like two weeks I'm going to have to be out of living with Angie and living on my own. It's so exciting and yet again it's kind of scary. I love the decorating and that part but the moving part just bites. When it's over and done with I'll be so happy.
