scarlettinaI think my gastric reflux has returned. No, I'm sure it's returned, and I'm not happy about it. I have COBRA and so I should probably go to the doctor about it, but I should have made the call, like, last Friday and didn't and still haven't. If I had any brains at all, I'd adjust my eating habits. As it happens, I seem to have no brains and no motivation. Big surprise. I just want to feel well enough to go to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
varina8's party this evening.
Rumor has it that the winds are returning tonight. It was and still is as still as statues outside today, though: no wind, some light rainfall, and nothing to indicate especially inclement weather except for thickly overcast skies. It's pitch black outside right now and I've no idea what to expect for the rest of the evening. I did go to the grocery store today to purchase fresh batteries and food that doesn't need to be cooked or refrigerated, just in case. Besides my jaunt to the post office, it was the only thing of any substance that I achieved today.
Come holiday time, I will often save any gift packages I receive in the mail to be opened one per night of Chanukah because it's nice to have gifts to look forward to. Tonight's package was a gift I purchased for myself. As you know, Bob, I spent quite a bit of time on eBay in service of the auction to benefitjaylake's neighbor the last couple of weeks. One of the side effects of being on eBay is, well, being on eBay. Tonight's self-gift was a tiny little indulgence that I won an auction for, a Longaberger Proudly American Button Basket, protector, and liner, a sweet little thing with star-shaped rivets that will not only be useful but also nice to display. These baskets are collectibles (especially in the Midwest), to which I was turned on by brumbjorn back when she was a Longaberger representative, and every now and then I add one to my collection. They appreciate in value and at some point I may auction off some of mine. As things stand now, however, I use almost every one that I have pretty regularly and they give me pleasure so . . . yippee!
Nothing else of note to post at the moment. I am feeling pretty bleh and wishing for nonblehness. And I don't want to eat anything else because that will only exacerbate the blehness. Bleh. So there.

Date: Thu, Dec. 21st, 2006 04:24 am (UTC)One of the reasons I'm cautious about trying news meds is that some medications give me night terrors, as did the first reflux medicine my doctor prescribed. Obviously, there's no way to tell how I'm going to respond to anything until I try it, but you can understand why I'm a little nervous about trying new meds. "Terrors" is actually a mild word for what I experience in these episodes.
Still, it's worth a shot to not be so incredibly uncomfortable.
