Well today is the last day of April. Today is the last day that I will snow dance until October 1st. I do enjoy snow dancing so people in the northern states get a nice winter for those that do enjoy winter. Once again I also made it through a season of people threatening to break my legs or knees. I think some say it in jest but others I am not so sure about. All in all it it always fun to hear some of the interesting comments people have to say about my snow dancing both positive and negative comments.
Life has a nice way of letting you know that it is not easy or fair. I know from the past couple months that it is always going to be interesting and different. I am finding that I have a bit more time for things so I am working on posting more. I have added Ruler of Kings II back to my postings so I will see how things go as I am able to play a bit more. I will be off on all at different times or the day or night as I do this or that and work part time to make ends meet. So much for retirement and the easy life *smile*.
Tomorrow will be a busy day for me as I have been asked to assist a friend move her daughter to college a couple hours away. I will be doing that most of the day and then working armed security at a bar that has has some serious issues in the past. I will have my vest on and carrying my HK .45 caliber pistol. I do hope that things are not going to be too bad but this bar is not a calm bar most of the time. The fact it is right outside the gates of the Iowa State fair during fair time is going to make it even more exciting. I do hope to survive the night.
Well this week has made things interesting and life goes on for me. I did enjoy heading east a bit to help a nice young lady move into college to continue her life's journey. I hope she does well as I feel that she will.
At the same time I look at all that is going on in my life and know that I really need to work hard on getting this house cleaned out and cleaned up so that I can make it more of my house. I have one room pretty much all done as mine and a second room that will be library over 75% done. Once those two rooms are done I can more focus on the front room that will be a nice place to sit and relax away from the computer and allow me more time to read.
I also know I need to work more on my book. I have neglected that for a few months and just recently wrote more on it. I have a nice young lady reading what I have so far so I can get some feed back whether it is good or bad so I know what I need to work on. I look forward to what she has to say.
Well I have done a little more on my book but still not totally into it as I have been just finding some time is fun now as the weather is not so hot so I am spending more time helping others with some of their needs and it helps me get out of the house more. I still do some part time work doing security and other stuff so that I have a bit more income besides my retirement pay. Plus it has been pointed out to me by a few friends that I need to stay active and get out more. I am doing that.
I do enjoy security work and more of what I am doing is armed security because in this world we live in now there are a lot of people who seem to want to cause us to have fear or fear them. Well I do not fear them and I will do all I can to see that they do not cause others fear. Everyone has the right to be happy and secure in their own homes or workplace without some person who is not right in their head who feels that they should get people to think their way because they have a gun or some other type of weapon. I guess the world needs people like me to help keep them safe.
On another note I took a couple photos of me a couple days ago that shows that yes I have hair and I am working on getting them uploaded so everyone can see me with hair. Yes, I have told people I am a natural blonde and I do believe these two photos will prove that to everyone. Have a great day everyone.
Well I spent the better part of the day today at the VA medical hospital in an attempt to figure out why I am have severe cramping at times and am in pain a lot. The pains I am experiencing is mostly 2-3 on a daily basis but at times they can go up to a 5-7. The cramps come and go and are in my legs arms and sides. I have been on a prescription Vitamin B complex for about a month in hopes that that would help but I was able to inform the Doctor that no it is not really helping. So now round two after many labs I have a muscle relaxer and a pain med to help me cope with the pain. I will take the pain meds when the pains are bad but otherwise I will try to stay off them so that I do not have any issues with pain med dependency. The muscles relaxers I do hope will help the cramping. I would like to be in less pain.
After a lot of blood work I did learn something. I guess the muscle cramps I am experiencing are breaking down my muscles so now I will be getting some rehabilitation appointments to help my muscles stay a bit more firm and maybe help replace some of the lost muscles or slow it down. I guess that explains the reason that I have the shakes at times when I am trying to hold my cell phone to take a photo or even drop things out of my hands when they decide that I did not need to be holding that item anymore. I do hope that this gets better after some more appointments.
Well I am not happy at all but I have talked to my therapist (So I do not go off the deep end and hurt people due to anger issues) and my DAV reps to once again open my 100% disability claim. The VA doctors have me on medicine to treat all my symptoms of fibromyalgia but they refuse to say I have it. I asked the doctor point blank why do I have the symptoms but you will not say I have it. He could not give me a answer. I think it is just the VA way to not say I have it so they do not have to compensate me for it. It is not like I am in pain all the time and I am tired of being in pain. They give me pain ills to take and muscle relaxers to take so that I will not be in pain but I can not take them and work to support myself because they make me drowsy and thus I would not be able to work. This makes it rough on me and thus the reason I do not have a full time job. I am hoping that since it effects my work and everything that I can get my 100% disability./ I have to wait and see now.
