I feel yucky

Share

Today was a yucky day. I felt majorly nauseated all day. Luckily I had a pretty good day at work. Sundays at work are always great. There’s a comfortable vibe on Sundays…very laid back.

I felt pretty emotional today. My stomach hurt, school is busy…there’s just too many things to worry about. I now know better than to take 5 courses at one time. From here on end I’m not taking any more than 4 classes at one time…I don’t care if it takes me longer to finish school! Anyhow, in terms of being emotional, I just knew that if someone, anyone, said the wrong thing to me…I’d break down into tears. Luckily that situation never came up…and that’s always a good thing.

I was relieved when 3pm came along and I knew it was home time. I asked my mom to take me to the grocery store so I could buy some tummy friendly foods. I also thought i’d be a good idea to buy some snack foods that I can take to school, especially on that murderous day known as tuesday: (8:30am to 11am: HR class. 11am-12pm: spare/lunch. 12pm-3pm: math class. 3pm-6pm: accounting. 6pm onwards: collapse!) I usually find myself purchasing the unhealthy snacks between Math class and Accounting class, so a stash of baby carrots will certainly be a better choice. Being on prednisone makes you prone to that dreaded sticky outie tummy, and I need to be aware of that.

Anyhow, while we were there, my mother quietly called me over to where the broccoli was in the produce section. I wondered why she was whispering. When I got closer, she showed me a whole lotta broccoli florets that had been ripped from their stem and tossed back into the bunches of broccoli. What happened to the stem? My mother non-chalontly motioned in the direction of a middle aged lady. My mom told me that she saw the woman standing by the broccoli. When my mom approached, she witnessed the woman ripping the tops off off the broccoli and throwing them back…and she kept the stem! Who DOES that?? The broccoli was priced per bunch, not by weight! Did she want to make broccoli soup? You need the florets in broccoli soup to make it look pretty!! Was she going to con the cashier and make them give her the stem for free because there were no florets attached to it? Weird! I guess I’ll never know why that perfectly normal looking woman ripped the florets off the top of that broccoli stem..

I haven’t gotten as much work done this weekend as I would have liked. I just haven’t felt the best. I think I’m making myself ill with stress. I need to chill out…do some yoga, meditate, get a massage…ANYTHING! I don’t know…I’m just afraid of defeat I guess. In computer class, out of all the tests/assignments that we’ve done, I’m currently getting 38/38. Can’t complain about that. In math, the last test that we did, a test that I was convinced I had failed miserably…I got 85%. On the accounting mid term test, I got 93% or 28/30…or the best mark in the class!! :):). In project managment, I got 87% on the midterm. I don’t have my HR mid term mark as my teacher forgot to pick my test up from the test centre and is yet to mark it 3 weeks later. On the quiz we did in HR, I got a miserable 53%. This test was only with 2.5% of our final mark so I really need to get over it…but I don’t like getting low marks…period. That 2.5% is well on its way to giving me an ulcer.

Anyhow, I’m going to lie down on my bed, close my eyes, and listen to the soothing sounds of men beating the tobacco out of each other a la UFC.

    I read your story and I truly feel for you. I met this lady at a spiritual book store in Orlando who has Lupus and she said that she is always in constant pain. In this book store is thing called “The VIBE MACHINE. You can google it and hopefully there is one in your area. It is all natural positive energy that allows the body to naturally heal itself. After one session she said that her shaking reduced tremendoulsy and she slept through the night for the first time in years. After the second session, the pain in her legs was dramatically reduced. She is going to continue weekly sessions.
    I have done it myself 6 times for depression, anxeity, stress and insomnia. It is such an amazing experience. I no longer take any meds, I am happy as can be and I sleep through the night. I have met people with cancer, rma, lupus, chronic fatigue, thyroid problems and all have had unexplainable results. I just thought I would share it with you in hopes that it will help you live the pain free life that you deserve. Stay positive and continue documenting your journey on both the good days and the bad because you are inspiring and educating others. I dont believe in coincidences, there was a reason your site was placed in my path. I was searching for more VIBE machine testimonials for another friend with cancer and the word vibe came up in my google search because you said ” there is a good vibe on Sundays” God places divine connections in our path to help heal, guide, and inspire each other. I truly hope this message helps you in some way. If you try this machine and it helps, please blog about it and share the good news with others who also suffer. You never know whose life you change just by sharing yours.

    Have a blessed day
    Treasure
