My ears are screaming. I don't know what's going on lately that's causing me so much stress and anxiety that my tinnitus is acting up so bad. Life in general I would guess? Work? Money? Everything? Illness? Whatever the cause it's driving me nuts.

Went to the dentist yesterday. Did not like my hygienist this time around. She was pushy, rude, and very rough on my mouth. I will ask I never see her again. I did take the dentist's advice and order a waterpik last night. I have been considering one anyway, this just pushed me over the top basically.

We had Wendys for dinner because I didn't want to cook. Plain and simple. I have therapy today but first have to hit the store.

It has moved to my ears. The final stages. Of course that means I can't hear shit right now. I made a doctor appointment yesterday for my physical and bloodwork review. Have her check my ears too. Today I have dentist appointment. Get everything done.

Made pasta for dinner. Watched one more episode. It's all falling apart.

Finally got my lab test results back from right before Xmas. My cholesterol is off. Gee, what a shock right after the holidays. It's not horribly off either. It's seasonally off I feel. Like if I should be under a 100 on some number, I am at 105. My estrogen is finally down in to the 200s which means after 2 years I will probably get another injection. Probably do that in march. Requested an appointment this morning. Let's see when I can get in.

Spent the day doing a myriad of little maintenance things. Setting up clients for upcoming trainings, tech support, presentations, emails. Was a very long day. C worked a shit shift and didn't get home until 7:30. We had pizza for dinner because I didn't want to cook. Watched one more episode. Things are heading towards the end. The show gives me serious anxiety. I am wanting it to be over for everyone. 

C is off today which gives me a little break. Not going to complain.

Everything but my voice is back to normal. Still have some throat issues. Not as bad as last week though for sure. Getting there.

Did random stuff yesterday. Had a client meeting at 4pm. Friends came over around 7 to play a new game we got for Xmas and eat cheese. Watched one more episode of BB. Almost done!

Have a bunch of stuff to do today thankfully. Got to get to it.

We are six episodes into season 5. For those of you who have seen it, you will laugh at me. But dear god, I have never seen a show where I don't want to root for anyone except the one person who is just so not the ideal of a hero. Not Walt. Fuck him and his ego. Poor Jesse just keeps getting dragged through this. I am excited to finish.

We held to our promise and did very little yesterday. We gamed together. We did laundry. We took dog outside. That was it. My 48 hour ribs came out pretty darn good. Was happy with them. 

This morning I have an eye doc appointment at 8:15. Then back to work. Back to the coal mines for me.

C and I have been watching Breaking Bad. I know, I know. I stopped somewhere around season 3 when it originally aired because if you've been around for a while, that's when my life went sideways and I started this damn blog. Had other things on my mind and that's putting it nicely. It's one of those shows I would always try to rewatch and finish but never had someone to watch and share it with. When C heard I have never finished it, she jumped on it and said we're watching it. Okie dokie. Well, it's taken us a while but we finally finished season 4 and started season 5 last night. Without spoiling anything, HOLY SHIT. While I am sad I never watched this real time, wow, what a show. I am excited to try and finish it this week. We have 14 episodes to go and I can't wait to see what happens next. Things like this are always so much better when you have someone to share them with. It's been fun for her watching me watch the show. Spout my endless theories, get excited at twists and turns, etc. When it's over, we will do El Camino and Saul. Can't wait.

We both had our hair done yesterday. Was a nice time out of the house and away from things. She got a really cute cut that she loves. That makes me happy. Mine was just maintenance. Nothing exciting. We had salmon for dinner, made milkshakes with our creami, and I made more perfect popcorn.

OH! One fun thing yesterday was our friend/stylist sharing all the drama in her house. Her kid is driving her nuts. He is about to turn 20 and for the last nine months she has been supporting him because he has been working on a video game. Now that it's almost done, he's having cold feet about releasing it. She wants us to help him get over his fear and get it out there. They're coming over Monday night under the auspice of playing games and having cheese. In reality, we will be having a mini intervention. Either release the game or get off your ass and do something. She wants him to hear it from someone other than "mom" who is just nagging him. On it. This will be interesting.

Today we're doing laundry and questing together. A quiet day is planned.

Slowly getting better. Not 100% but almost there. Still have sore throat. But the aches are gone and I can breathe mostly.

Not much of anything yesterday. Had a meeting. New training scheduled for this month. Starting on the 15th I have like 10 days of training to give. 

Made meatballs for dinner. Started 48 hour ribs for sunday. Hair appointment today but that's it.

It's Friday. I am so confused this week. Especially being sick. I went to the store yesterday morning so I wouldn't have to go today and I literally stood in one aisle for five minutes because I was just confused as to what I was doing there. I came home, wrote three blog posts in a haze, prepped for some other stuff, dealt with an annoying salesperson, and just faded in and out all day. Last night I had zero energy and was just a lump. I do feel a bit better today but my throat is killing me. Hopefully I will clear up by monday and can be back in a normal place. I have a meeting today at 1pm and we will see what comes of that. I made tacos last night and struggled eating them. I knew I had to eat but didn't want to eat. I fell asleep at 9:30. Fun times.

Today is bill day. Joy.

 I feel horrible. Throat is sandpaper. Head is pounding. Blah. I have to "work" today. So stupid.

 I am dying. Oh, happy new year? Bleh. I am sick. I hate it thanks. We made it to midnight. Whee.
