I can't believe that tomorrow is the 1st. of June. This year has just flown by so far. It's hot as ever with a heat index of 112. So, after I volunteered today, I came home, put down the blinds on my patio and hunkered down. I got really dehydrated today.
Since I've been home I have already had three 32 oz. water. And I'm still thirsty. I ate a good lunch though.
Of course my cat is doing her usual thing, sleeping.
Well that all my news. Nothing exciting today.
Stay cool ya'll.

Memorial Day
It's finally here. There are so many things we should be grateful for. Number one is our armed forces. Without them we are just ducks in the water. We have been able to leave in a freedom free country for many generations. We need to give thanks for all of the men and women who has sacrificed for us.
It's also a day for families I believe. To be grateful for what we have and to pass that love to others.
I plan on spending the day with my parents today. Since I don't get to see my father very often, I'm hoping today will be one of those days to catch up.
Number three it's a day of reflection. Reflect back on the past and move forward with a ray of hope. There are so many suffering from battles of the past. It's time to relieve those and set new goals for the future.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could end all wars. I mean all wars around the world. Have a unity of peace?
Maybe one day the people of earth will see true freedom as a symbol. A symbol acting as a tool for all to live together peacefully. No hate or greed.

Oh, Yea!
Boy, I think I slept at least five hours last night. I can't believe it. It's been so long since I slept a night without broken sleep, so I don't know what to compare this to. It makes a big difference on how sleep makes you feel.
Anyway, I have been really lazy today. I've been glued to the TV cause it's just to damn hot outside to venture out. I think it was suppose to get in the mid to upper 90's today.
I did talk to an old friend today which was nice. It always makes me say, "good to be alive " when I get to converse with a friend I don't get to talk with often.
It's so funny, my cat has been asleep for about six hours this afternoon. She gets up to eat, go potty then she's off to her favorite dark hiding place. What a life. She has it made. She's got me just where she wants me. Afterall this is "her" place and I just clean after her, feed her and give her hugs and kisses. She's the queen!
I think I may have someone tuning in on my wireless hookup. I keep getting these messages on my system that my preferred networks are not turned on. With the names Kylie and Stephanie. I used to keep my computer on the sleep mode and it would just turn on by itself. Now I do a shut down every time I'm done. So, hopefully no one can crack into my system.
I swear there are so many dishonest people around. The bad neighbors that live next to me wanted to use my computer the other day. I've blogged about them before. When I said no, they got mad.
I figure, if you want to be online, then get a computer and get online yourself. I don't trust these people at all. They used to wake me up late knocking on the door to use my phone because they locked themselves out of their place. I let them a few times, but then it became routine. So, that quickly ended.
I think it's a bonus when you buy a place and get a good neighbor. I was lucky on that point because I did get a really good neighbor upstairs that has become a great friend of mine.
All the other neighbors are either renters who do what they want and disrupt the place or drunks. It seems like all the men in my immediate location [bldg.] drink. It gets really bad sometimes because it becomes noisey.
Maybe the drunks will move out and we get quiet older people here. That would be nice.

Memorial Day weekend
I can't believe that it is already memorial day weekend. Of course I'll be watching the marathon of Star Trek today on the Scify channel. Yes, I'm a treky. I grew up watching Captain Kirk and Spock. Those are the oldies but goodies.
All of my friends have plans this weekend so it's just me and my cat. Thats how it usually works out on holidays. But thats fine. I enjoy watching movies and hanging out.
I did get up and plant some new flowers on my patio. I hate to say this but I do like to work in the garden like my mother and sister do. Their yards are always so pretty.
I also plan on going to the park near me tomorrow. If I had a camera I would take alot of nature shots.
When I was younger I would be at the pool all day. Our pool just opened at our condos, so maybe I'll take a dip. There's usually alot of teenagers who go there. So I might walk over there to see what the crowd is like. My skin is so horrible to look at that I might chicken out. I don't know.
Maybe I'll be able to spend some time with my Dad. I know he's off this weekend.
But anyway Happy Memorial Day!!

Friday
Today has been a busy day. Even though I'm tired for not sleeping I washed and waxed my floors. Then I dusted my entire house plus the walls. I washed towels and my bedroom curtains. My curtains needed a good wash. They were starting to look like a cream color when they are white.
I took a pleasant walk this morning. It was just gorgeous outside and had a cool breeze.
I've spent some quality time with my cat today too. I think she has felt neglected since I rarely play with her anymore. Her favorite game is fetch. I think I've blogged about that before, but she fetches as good as a dog can do. She has this real ratty round mouse that she carries it in her mouth wherever she goes. The rescue center where I adopted her gave that to me. SO, she's had this thing since she was a kitten. Anyway, I throw that and she retreaves it then brings it to my feet.
She's so funny. She is exactly 1 yr. and 5 months old. I still have to somehow get her into the crate [ which she hates ] and get her rabies shot done. She should have gotten that done in April, but I still couldn't get her in the crate. I think I'm gonna have to sedate her.
Well thats about my news today. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Sleep Deprivation
You know, I've never been one to sleep in on the weekends or have slept eight full hours. But lately, I have had bad insomnia. I go through these spurts where I get about three to four broken hours of sleep. And I might say that when this happens it catches up with you like a brick. I've noticed that when I drive I'm not as alert or focused. My appetite changes and I'm usually tired all the time. I am experiencing that now.
I've tried everything. A hot bath, taking ambian [which I am allergic to] and taking unisom. Or even drinking that sleepy time herbal tea. Nothing seems to help.
It also makes my health problems spike. I envy those that can get a good nights rest. To help my systems I try to walk everyday and drink plenty of fluids. You would think exercise would do the trick. Nope.
My doctor told me that due to my nerves and sleep deprivation I have this shaking to my hands. I really don't notice this unless I look directly at my hands.
I wish there was a magical potion that would enable me to sleep. What usually happens is that I start settling down around 10pm. I'll go to bed about 10:30pm-11pm. I'll lay there for two to three hours. Sleep maybe one or two hours. Up at 3am. Up at 4:30am. Then rise around 6am. So, I'm tired after each night.
Maybe one day this will change. I hope it would because I would have much more energy than I do.

Doctor day
Well today I met with one of my doctors. I have been dealing with this certain condition that has been hard to accept. Now with a determination on my part and frequently talking to my family, I have been able to work through it. This was also a day to inquire the possibility on filing for disability. My doctor said I have a good chance of getting it, I'll just have to see what attorneys my parents are thinking about to help.
My diabetes is doing fine. Of course I have the occasional spike in blood sugars and problems with eating my snacks everyday, but I think I manage my diabetes well.
I blogged a few days ago about how my skin has been managing. Still have these darned rashes, but I think I can clear these up with drinking more water or even seeing a dermatologist.
I feel so fortunate that I have a good network of doctors. Because I know alot of people don't. It would be nice if I had health insurance to pay for these visits. So, every little bit helps.
The important thing for me is to continue to go to my doctors appointments even if I don't have the money for them.
What I have learned is your health is everything.
