Sunday Post July 7 2018

I am so glad that last week is over with. From losing my debit card to anxiety attacks, it is safe to say that last week was not one of my best. I finally gave in and went to see the dr about my knees. After some X-rays and jerking my knees in all different directions it was determined that I have

Wait for it

Atheritis. To say I was upset is an understatement.  When the dr told me I had visions of being confined to a wheelchair forever at the mercy of other people. I was referred to physical therapy and given mega dosages of Aleeve. I let myself have a pity party for Friday night then yesterday I pulled myself together enough to make an appt for physical therapy. The dr did say I had a mild version. I am in enough pain as it is I hate to think of those poor souls who have a moderate to severe form. The Aleeve that they gave me seemed to do the trick so I can still keep up my workouts. I sincerely hope that it is not an all a downhill slide into old age from here. I am using this as a wake-up call to start taking good care of myself.

My cat knocked my Ambien off the table, and I cant find them anywhere, so I have not been sleeping all that well.  On a happier note, this means I have been reading up a storm. it is nice to be able to disappear into a book when reality becomes too much

I am trying to decide if I want to listen to or read Stephen King new novel. I could get both, but that just seems like overkill. That cover is damn creepy though. I haven’t read any of his books in recent years because Revival disappointed me that much. I mean there was all this buildup with how Revival was gonna be THE scary book of the year, but it fell flat in my opinion. Giant ants that make human slaves in the afterlife. I mean really. For someone who wrote The Shining the giant ants seemed tame. I have already read one review where the person was disappointed in the ending of The Outsider

. Stephen King used to be an auto-buy author for me. Then there was the epic let down of Revival. Decisions Decisions

Guess what? I had an article published in blogging breakthrough magazine! I had a massive anxiety attack while I was working on it and to see it come out better than I thought was a HUGE relief. Now to start pitching other publications. Gotta build my portfolio!
