Oh no, North Carolina is going to hell. Again. We have another Republican douche who will tell us how great old white men are and how bad the rest of the population is. Again. Time to hunker down. Again.
Oh, yeah, and I need to be productive today to make up for yesterday....zzzzzzzzzzz....

Went to Lowe's today and picked up Christmas decorations.
Don't judge.
We have never put together a themed presentation of our decorations, other than just Christmas, I mean. Usually we acquire decorations by seeing what's left when the prices reach 75% off. This time, we are not waiting, we are going to buy stuff we like when we see it. Should be interesting
I am...

What are you doing for Halloween? Come on, tell.

Karen and I are just hanging out at the house, lights out, hiding.

I'm sorry that I keep writing about going to my doctor's appointments and health issues. It's just what's going on in my life right now. I'll see if I can come up with different topics.

It's raining outside finally, that means the front is rolling through, and it's going to get cold. Colder. Yay!

I really need to get back into regular contact with my...

I'm so ready for this cooler air that's going to happen tonight. I am so done with 80 degree weather...at least until May anyway...I went running today and my first thought was, "Seriously, you can cool down now weather."
schiavona:
@iggy Yeah, I am so ready to get cooler weather.  And I hope you have fun plans for Halloween night?

Okay, I can do this...one step, just one step, then the next. Don't look to the side, eyes forward!
I am so dizzy, so tired, so mentally fogged, feel so weak. I don't think I've hit more than 2 or 3 hours of actual deep sleep for that last few weeks/months. I am really starting to fail. Walking is tough, cause if I glance to...

Gods rot I'm tired today. Not just a little sleepy. TIRED. So much that I ache. I am getting Merlin up and taking him upstairs to lay down in bed. I know he won't nap with me, but I'l at least be able to hang out while entertaining him.

iggy:
Ugh. I hate when I'm tired like that. It happens to me when I'm depressed and I feel like I do nothing but sleep all day. 
schiavona:
@iggy I just slept the entire day, don;t think I'm feeling well.

Ah, so it's Friday. Fridaaaaaay!

I feel lonely. Don't get me wrong, I get lots of interaction with Karen, but the thing is, I need to take care of people. That's my thing, and I'm really good at it. Taking care of people, helping people, getting them back on their feet and strong again. Course now all of our friends are in a basically good...

True @iggy.  I wish there was a raptor center in the Chapel Hill area like in is in Charlotte.  I would love to donate time.  Maybe I should sign up for raptor rescue again to rescue injured or trapped raptors and then take them to the Raptor Center in Charlotte.
iggy:
That would be awesome of you to do! There's not enough people who do that sort of thing.

Ugh, what is wrong with me? I am so tired all the time. At the beach I actually took 2 naps a day, that's insane! I don't don enough to be that tired. I got off Wellbutrin and am almost 2 months out, and the anxiety it was causing is almost all gone. So glad about that. It was making sleep really tough. I'm doing...

iggy:
must...not...nap....is also my mantra today. I'm in the same boat as you: stuff to do with no energy to do it.

@iggy has inspired another jolt for me to attempt to be better about blogging. As long as you, my dear, tell me when you are hurting.

Today is first day back from the NC Outer Banks and without the parents-in-laws, and their dog too. Now, don't get me wrong, It's not that I dislike dogs (or cats, for that matter), just that 1) I'm allergic...

We are slaves to our animals. I'd totally let him eat off my plate. In fact, I would think it's adorable. Hell, I let my cat eat off my plate if I'm eating something that she can have a smidgen of, like plain yogurt or cheese. 
schiavona:
Well, when you come up @iggy we'll test out having him eat off your plate.  It's usually cute until his beak gets all covered with food and he shakes it all over.

Back from the beach. It was a lovely time, an exhausting 5 hour drive back, and am ready to sleep in my own bed.

Merlin is very excited to see us home.

iggy:
I bet he was excited to you!! I could just envision him flitting about and chatting up a storm waiting to greet you!
schiavona:
He was about to bust a cockatiel gut waiting for us to let him out of his cage@IGGY , then he wanted to be on my shoulder and go with me.  Everywhere.  And now he's whining about the stale branflakes and Rice Krispies in his cage.  Karen caved and got him fresh.  **Spoiled

So...Tired...
I've been sleeping a lot here at the beach. I barely am making it past eating before I have to sleep again, then I'm down for 2-3 hours. Having trouble even writing this out because I'm so tired I just want to go back to bed.
And I'm really allergic to something here. It's not the dogs, I'm being very careful about sitting in...

iggy:
Ugh. That sucks, dude. I wonder if there is mold in the walls and that's what you're allergic to and making you so sleepy. 
schiavona:
Not sure, @iggy.  There was apparently some frat party in the house right before we moved in.  They trashed the place and the cleaning people spent 6 hours cleaning.  They are still fixing and replacing stuff throughout the week.  And they were doing cannonballs off the 3rd floor balcony into a pool that is at most 5 feet deep.  Idiots are lucky they're still alive.  So it is entirely possible.
