My body was ok as I awoke before 7 this morning.  I was so tired last night, hurting so much, yet I was asleep before 11...on a Friday night.  Pa-fucking-thetic. <warning, there may or may not be swear words today>. I felt my sheets this morning, caressing them with my body, turning from left to right side.  Both sides feel the best.  Before I knew it, it was 9:30.  I must have fallen asleep somewhere in the loving of my sheets.

Lovely chat with my Texan high school friend.  He's inspires me and  I don't feel so crazy-cat-spinster lady when I hear from him.  I was beginning to feel throngs of pain... More and more, closer together.  I decided today would've a bed day and I'd work on getting cheques mailed for the Swiss passport.  Note that I used British spelling?  <it has begun>. There is quite a lot required to renew one's passport for Switzerland if one has been married and divorced.  Twice.  Especially if one is the first husband's 7th wife.  When I told the consulate representative  this, after her "oh, my!",  she said to send my old copy of his birth certificate and let them know I am unaware of his current whereabouts <this is true>. The second ex swung by and we talked about the boy (he was the same as Ethan), we talked about Europe (he agrees it would be a fantastic experience) & he let me know that the connecting pipe of the water heater, which fell off this morning, was not a big deal and the way I had it repaired was just fine (I'm kind of a badass).

After several hours, in which most of the work was completed, I received a phone call from my sister.  This, save something that occurred later, was a highlight of my day.  We spoke for an hour.  I miss that lady so much.  My pain, however, was increasing.  After we hung up, I cleared the bed and rested.   My body has a fever or something: it is freezing cold,  yet hot to the  touch.  My head is fine, though. Very odd.

I called Mags to come lay with me. I was freezing, despite the heater and the heating pad, and I didn't want to be alone. We talked a little bit, but I made a lot of "my body hurts" noises, which is remarkably similar to my "good food" noises, only without food and with pain. It was nice having her there. This was the second highlight of my day.  I decided, per Maggie's suggestion, to take a hot bath with Epsom salt, but it didn't work.  I was freezing, despite the hot water.   I got out and started looking up what I could possibly be experiencing.  It isn't a UTI, I'm familiar with those. It doesn't look like appendicitis, because the pain is bearable,  though at times excruciating, but then subsides  again.  Not sure what else it could be.  I don't participate in coitus, though as I told my sister, it could be an Immaculate Conception which resulted in an ectopic pregnancy,  No J, jr, here.   I'll just rest, and if necessary,  call a doctor or go to an urgent care center or possibly a Catholic church to see about options.

Boy is staying the night again, which is fine, because I can't drive to pick him up.  I'm tired. Hope this goes away.  Looks like I only swore once.  Fan-fucking-tastic.






Pictures: My curtains and blinds; the results, minus an additional 4 cheques which are required to renew my Swiss passport.  Haven't even looked into EU/Austria yet; A very Psycho look at my bath view.  I tried to write some of this in the tub, but kept misspelling.
