The Peevery

Shedding

How do I manage to get a piece of my hair trapped under the tape of every package I mail?

Murphy's Law

Remember last week when I posted that I lost an entire bottle of my prescription medicine?  After searching for it I still couldn't find it and since I'm starting to break out in the little bumps the medicine prevents I bit the bullet and emailed my medical provider's office about how to replace the pills.  Not thirty minutes later, I found the damn bottle accidentally.  How does that happen?

Where did it go?

I have somehow managed to lose an entire bottle of my prescription medicine.  Since I do mail-order prescriptions it is actually three months worth of medicine.  Crap.

50 is the New 70

I have, once again, awoken with a ridiculous amount of pain in my neck/back region.  Luckily, I have a doctor appointment this morning because two of my fingers and part of the palm of my hand have gone numb.  Apparently, my spine and nerves hate me.

If this is what the "40's" is like, I cannot wait to turn 50.

Sinuses!

Don't even try to ruin my summer fun, bitches!  Drain yourselves properly or I'll have to eat a handful of wasabi while drowning you in Nasonex! 

Bangs!

Please sweep gently to the side and blend in with the rest. I will cut you in a straight line above my brows. Don't tempt me, I've done it before.

P.S. This holiday edition peeve is for you, Sara. I haven't forgotten.

Hot Lips

Since I started using Crest Prohealth toothpaste a few days ago the inside of my mouth is tingling (not in a good way) and it feels like I've lost a layer of skin on my lips. This can't be good. My teeth feel nice and clean though.

Recovery period freethought

• Okay, I am really sick of Popsicles and Jell-O. 
• There's nothing good on TV. 
• My preferred method of reading is lying in bed with the book on my stomach.  I have wounds on my stomach and I cannot support a book on there. 
• I wish I could drive somewhere.
• At least I get out of doing laundry and emptying the dishwasher.
• Oh!  Birdies outside!
• The supermarket flyer and McDonald's commrcials are my new porn.

Menopause Can Suck It

Trying to sleep in a strange place, alone, way before my bed time wearing something similar to this:  
makes for a really rough night.  The part that really sucks is that I didn't get enough sleep (and NO REM sleep) for the tech to determine the correct air flow setting for my CPAP.

The next step is to go back with a sleeping pill so I can actually sleep for the sleep study.

BTW,  did you know that sleep apnea and snoring can be exacerbated  by menopause?  Yeah.  Look it up. Another thing your mother didn't tell you.

Raspy

I was trying to eat a healthy breakfast so I had an apple and a handful of almonds. About halfway through the almonds, I started choking on the tiniest piece of almond there ever was. It irritated my throat so much that now I can barely talk. I sound like I have laryngitis.
