I feel like i've been hit by a bus

[cornerofmadness]

rarely does my fibromyalgia hit like this. I couldn't get out of bed. A thunderstorm woke me but i went b ack to bed. The alarm woke me then the snooze alarm. Anyone who knows me knows i don't ever need the snooze. Everything hurts. My knee is so bad driving wasn't fun but i had to get my meds today

Stopped at Krogers to get something for a friend's birthday. I went thru the self check out because i didn't want weird looks when they saw discounted dozen blood red roses, a cheap bottle of wine, expensive black berry beer, shrimp chips and pocky.

Also got three more bags of river rock and a rose from wally world...i hate that i bought this rose from them. These are the people diluting the species but i needed something and they're the only ones here WITH roses (all it says is 'clove fragrance' and it has a bizarre very un-rose like bloom) Not even a name or type of rose listed...sigh.

If I were a vidder, I'd use this to do an Ed and Al vid about Hohenheim


Father of mine
Tell me where have you been
You know I just close my eyes
My whole world disappeared

Father of mine
Take me back to the day
Yeah, when I was still your golden boy
Back before you went away

I remember blue skies
Walking the block
I loved it when you held me high
I loved to hear you talk

You would take me to the movies
You would take me to the beach
Take me to a place inside
That was so hard to reach

Father of mine
Tell me where did you go
You had the world inside your hand
But you did not seem to know

Father of mine
Tell me what do you see
When you look back at your wasted life
And you don't see me

I was ten years old
Doing all that I could
It wasn't easy for me
To be a scared white boy in a black neighborhood

Sometimes you would send me a birthday card
With a five dollar bill
Yeah, I never understood you then
And I guess I never will

Daddy gave me a name
My daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My daddy gave me a name

Daddy gave me a name
My daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My daddy gave me a name

Yeah, yeah, oh yeah

Father of mine
Tell me where have you been
I just close my eyes
And the world disappeared

Father of mine
Tell me how do you sleep
With the children you abandoned
And the wife I saw you beat

I will never be safe
I will never be sane
I will always be weird inside
I will always be lame

Now I'm a grown man
With a child of my own
And I swear that im not gonna let her know
All the pain I have known

Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away
Then he walked away
Then he walked away

ANd have a meme i snagged from aaronlisa

You Are Black Tea

You have a bold personality. You're not afraid of simply being yourself. You have the courage to speak the truth. You are fearless in your actions. You come off as a bit intimidating and unapproachable. Only confident people are attracted to you. You don't try to scare off anyone. You're just an intense person!

What Kind of Tea Are You?

Selective arbitrary response: I love the combo of items you purchased at Kroger.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

haha the Asian items are a gift

The roses and good beer are for me

and I'll cook with the cheap white wine. I was forced to open a good bottle the other night and that'llnever do. I always use drinkable but on sale wines to cook with

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

Reminds me of The Galloping Gourmet and how he'd swig it. Good times.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

him and Julia Childs....or now adays, Sandra Lee and Rachael Ray

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

OMG my father LOVED Sandra Lee. I can't watch her. She is like a Stepford Wife hooker woman thing. And I liked Rachael back in the day,but now she's worse than Ellen and Oprah. Media monsters!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

My dad also loves Sandra Lee god that woman can drink

yeah I have pretty much the same reaction to Rachael whcih is sad since I liked her stuff

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Yum, you're one of my favorite kinds of tea! I'm a chai tea. At least I'm a variety of tea I like.

Sorry about the fibro. ::hugs::

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i like both black and chai and well now that i've learned HOW to brew green tea right I've learned to likeit

thanks

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

I discovered that I like gunpowder green tea and that I like green tea in bags better if I use two instead of one per cup.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

also never boil the water if you're making green tea, it likes it cooler, 160 degrees and don't steep it over
3 minutes

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Good to know. Usually I boil the hell out of water. Maybe I could heat the water for green tea in the microwave. BTW, have you heard about some chain store called Teavana? One is supposed to have opened in the Biltmore near here. Probably pricey, but I'm curious.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

outrageously pricely. That's the place I was talking abuot in my Boston write up (but their individual cup brewing thing is slick)

www.adagio.com has better tea for half the pruce and they aren't cheap either but they are fast. (the samples are relatively cheap)

yep white tea should be at 'fish eyes' (water just beginning to bubble)

green tea should be at string of pearls (whichis a chain of bubbles coming up from the bottom)

black is full boil

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Thanks, O Mistress of Tea! I usually drink black teas, so I haven't done too much harm. Thanks for the link, too.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no problem.

i have spent an ungodly amount of time in the last 8 months reading about tea (you start paying the prices teavana's asking you don't want to mess it up)

[catvampcrazines.livejournal.com]

*hugs tight--but not really as that would hurt* I'm sorry that you had to get out of bed when you were hurting so much, hun.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. Don't worry. Those are the days I do my exercises the hardest. Excersing is one of the treatments for fibromylagia. the trick is convincing the patients of it

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

Yikes on the storms and pain - hope it dries up and you feel better soon!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no to both right now

[silvrethorn.livejournal.com]

Now that you've mastered the art of green tea, you test out black? Hmm. I came out chai, which is a code word for schizophrenic, apparently.

Fibromyalgia... Is there anything you _don't_ have at this point, short of cancer? Discover Health Network should do a special on you, I swear.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahaha to the whole tea thing.

Yeah I've been treated for Fibro since '94. It only acts up when i'm stressed and/or hot. guess which i am right now (stupid summer)
