Popeye's Spinach. What was REALLY in his pipe?

So I my mood likes to fluctuate when my hormones do, capiche?

Anyway, woke up at Mom's (a good 11 hrs of sleep!), and we headed to my Dad's. UGH.

The man is insane. Just insane. He's lucky, truly, I understand his neurological disease, or else I'd be fucked. Or maybe it's because I didn't take my meds this morning or maybe I just didn't feel like dealing with his shit. Or all of the above. I actually don't think it's a medication, I think I just lack patience.

So he was supposed to leave with Barbara for their bike trip around 4. Barbara (my Barb) was supposed to get here at 2. Barb got here at 6 and had to leave at 7:00, and the two bikers left after I left for TJ's at 7. Got pinenuts, some cookies.

Made the fantastic Spanikopita Stuffed Mushrooms and decided I need a new blender. Because I wanted to make my own pesto sauce, the blender decided it didn't want to. It's a good 10 years old, time to upgrade.

I think my freezer is currently defrosting. I simply don't give a shit anymore. I TOLD my Dad to call and get it taken care of last week. He finally called yesterday and they're coming this week, as well as the exterminator. Oh, the reason for today's TJ excursion? Had to buy more pinenuts, "Ralph the Rat" ate mine. Rodents.

Went to CVS, blah blah blah. I had a rough time when I got back to my Dad's because he irks me SO much. I cried a bit, emotions, whatever.

Ate some cookies. Not as many as I thought I would. But after I was full (mainly of peas, 3 cookies, and a SF pudding), I still felt that void, and I wanted it to fill. Unfortunately, it doesn't. Eventually I reached out to my friends, and I got (felt) better.

Tomorrow (okay, 7 hours from now, today), I get up and head to Huntington & Long Beach with Cindy for consults (yeah, like I'd EVER use this doctor), coffee/support group, and lunch.

Interesting tidbit. I lost some weight. I can't even BUTTON my old jeans. Swelling is fascinating! And I actually mean that. I might pick up a cheap skirt at Gap or whatever since pants are obviously not an option.

I feel good now. I cleaned up (if not cleaned) the kitchen, tomorrow I'll get some more cleaning supplies at Smart and Final (and get a good waterbottle at A16!), and go to the library, AFTER all of the above. Long days, but good sleeps.
