It's actually the waste pipes. I switched off the dishwasher and washing machine. Tried tightening stuff up but nowt doing. I have 24 hr home emergency thingy built in with my home insurance. Someone coming out Sunday evening...no major damage, just bloody inconvenient! Thankfully the dishwasher was almost done so the dishes are clean at least. Then went to rinse a plate clean and forgot....orangey water all over the floor again! Doh! Going to put a tea-towel over the tap to remind myself! Was quite funny actually. Rinsed the plate, walked away from sink and a few seconds later heard the splatter of water everywhere. Doh!

Ah, at least the waste isn't as bad as a hot/cold line! My dad has taught me a ton about home improvement, and I think it's more than the average guy knows. But when it comes to plumbing, he said I need to know 3 things: 1. Poop floats 2. Water runs downhill 3. Weekends are time and a half He's so helpful, isn't he?  Hope you get it sorted quickly! Could just be a clog in the drain. |

Last night I thought I was getting sick. There have been a bunch of people sick at my job and I thought I was coming down with the flu. I've been incredibly nauseous for over 24hrs now and last night I threw up twice. Today I just feel so worn down and exhausted. My knee's, legs, and lower back are killing me. I can't figure out if I have the flu or if my endo is acting up. Either way it really sucks and of course my job gives me the ridiculous guilt trip last night when I called out. If I had a dollar for every time they guilted me over things. I would be a very rich woman. This is a completely separate issues, but I find it just as annoying. I called the specialist I went to see this week to see if it would be possible to have my meds refilled because as of now I don't have a regular obgyn. His nurse called me back and said they wouldn't because they were uncomfortable about refilling my percocet prescription. I told her that I have had 20 pills since my surgery in Aug and I still have six of them. I think that shows I'm not abusing my medication, but apparently not. Now I have to start on the search for a decent obgyn again and get my meds refilled. Bleh I'm so sick of doctors. I'm grouchy today. Can you tell.  |

I'm grouchy today, too! I used to work for a wedding photographer and she convinced me to work a bridal show with her today. I could use the extra cash so I did it, but I just spent 4 hours watching all the odd couples parade past me. Not the thing I want to see when I've had a case of the poor-mes about being single...

Karen always remember this awesome point about single: if you farted so loud in bed at night, the only person you'd wake up is you. And you don't judge you for farting in your sleep. Your cat definitely does but that's ok.
Paint I hear you on the painkillers issue and the work issue. Don't be guilted, cos you've nothing to feel guilty about. And as for the painkillers... they don't get it. They're so busy trying to catch out addicts that they're helping nobody. Addicts need help, we in chronic pain that has nasty acute bursts- we need adequate pain relief. I'm looking forward to a similar battle tomorrow. I think I'd bust into tears if they refused me at this point. I've been really good so far, and that doesn't seem to help us does it?

Cherry that's the problem. They know what my health issue is and yet they were asking me all these ridiculous questions. It was just so frustrating. I don't abuse my medication I just need some relief at times and percocet is the one med that does that for me. I've got to start calling around tomorrow for a new obgyn. Sometimes I hate being a responsible adult.  |

Oh man I am terrified of being labeled as a drug seeker so much that my last doctor visit was the first time I asked for pain medication ever. That really sucks that we have to be like that because we really need it!

I was lucky today, got my sigmoidoscopy booked, and for the date I wanted, and the pain medication I asked for, with no argument. This is from the doctor who usually causes me the most trouble in trying to get things like a gynae referral etc. I started crying cos I'd been in tears all day (I'll blame PMT due to impending sister's period) part self-pity and misery at how my body feels, part relief.
I'm so glad he didn't give me hassle this time. He seems to be taking it seriously. Why it took him so long is what annoys me. I try very hard to rise above this damn disease and til now he's taken that to mean that I'm fine, but he's seen my notes and something's clicked. So my bitch is that I got what I asked for today, go figure I'm just grumpy as hell when really I should be thanking the heavens.

I have no luck. I have just broken my beloved GHDs. I'm like Samson, my hair is like, my centre of power, and is naturally prone to looking like a burst sofa:  I have had a sh*tty week of non-stop pain or being off my face but ok, I was determined to go out and have a good night and now this. I am going to stay home with my massive bouffant and indulge in true grumpiness. |

No way jose that look is not good on me. At least I'm tanned in that pic.
Last ditch attempt I found some old Babyliss ones that I kept for emergencies thank god they're recent enough to be ceramic and hot. Probably electrocute me. Sigh. I am very peeved this has been a bad week and I laid off the pain meds today so I could have a little drink tonight. I think I'll give up the ghost of living life and just be a hermit.
I needed to get shoes and make-up as well and that went down the loo.
It all sounds superficial I know but hey I'm young and single and was looking forward to a bit of a laugh, cos I have f*ck all else going on right now besides frigging endo. And yeah endo doesn't count does it, as a pastime?
