I touch the fire and it freezes me

Ok, so it’s late, and I can’t sleep. Instead I sit at this computer wondering what I could do. Insomnia is a killer, I tell you. Hopefully the doctor comes up with something. I’m sure it will require the use of some drugs. I heard him mention Ambien. I wonder how that will work with me. I asked him about my blood pressure, and he first started out with this cheery tidbit. That many diabetics go throughout life without any complications, any issues, and that’s that. Then there are those where everything that could go wrong with having diabetes go wrong. Call it malignant diabetes if you will. That’s what I have. He tells me I’m unfortunate, I just call it Karma. I must have been a Really bad person in a prior life. Then he proceeds to tell me that I have what’s called resistant hypertension. It’s a real term, honestly.

So yeah, my health is pretty much crazy right now. And you know what, that’s Really only the beginning. There’s so much going on, I’ve got information overload right now. And honestly, these post titles are turning out to be coincidentally about fire. Seriously! If you’re not sure what the title post is from, it’s from a musical episode (the only musical episode) of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (Once more with feeling)

Oh and I’m still trying to figure out this song!

  1. Sorry to hear that, Yoshi. I don't think it is karma, though. Bad things do sometimes happen to good people, unfortunately. Hang in there, I am pulling for you.

  2. Man it's shitty that your health is so bad. Not sure what to suggest for the insomnia. I have a friend who is having sleep issues at the moment too. Getting only 3-4 hours per night… he's going insane. I don't envy you guys cuz I LOVE my sleep and without it I'm a heinous bitch!

    Btw, what's with the new theme? I still think you should go back to the turtle theme, but I may be biased! :P

  3. I wish I could help with the insomnia and the song! I am not any good on either note, as, I’ve never heard the song, and I haven’t been able to figure out what to do with my own insomnia either.

    Last night, I framed over 20 photos into new collages. Shit of this kind of behavior in the middle of the night is – I live in an apartment – can’t hang them when I am done. Gotta stare at them till morning. Ugh.

    I hope your health straightens out hun. Thinking about ya.

  4. Loved that Episode of Buffy! As for the Insomnia thing from what little experience I have with it I know that it sucks donkey ass. Here’s to hoping you can get it sorted out with minimal medical intervention.

  5. I am sorry to hear that things aren’t going well for you. It’s highly doubtful it’s karma. You have a good soul.

    If you can’t sleep, you can always start a movie quote database website. Maybe it’s all the useless knowledge in ya that’s clogging your ability to sleep. I can’t even remember what I had for breakfast, let alone a movie line, lol.

  6. Sorry about your health. That’s one of the problems with getting older. I wouldn’t mind living forever if I could remain healthy and do the same things I was able to do when I was younger.

  7. @jade ok that would suck framing everything and then not being able to put them on the wall. I don’t miss apartment life!

    @jen yeah you’re right, bad things do happen to good people. but no one said i’m that good lol!

    @tammy yeah getting so little sleep sucks. OMG i love my turtle theme, i think the biggest thing is that it’s 3 column and the one column was too narrow. That was one thing I didn’t like. this one was just one that i picked up somewhere. :P

    @abraxus it’s totally one of my favorite episodes of that season, along with Tabula Rasa. That was definitely my favorite episode of that season.

    @melanie that’s a pretty good idea…i think i’ll figure something out.

    @joz hugs back to you and yoshi!

    @daddy forever yeah, getting older is not as cool as my dad told me. :P
