Happy Shakespeare Day!

I over exererted myself, so I was taking a break and found this.

It is 1994 edition.

That makes me, well, very young to be reading Shakespeare. I bought it myself. I didn't buy it for school or because someone told me to. I was just one of those kids.

CAN A GIRL GET A BREAK OVER HERE?

Medical Discussions follow as well as journeys in Adulting.

Fair Warning may be unsuitable for any audience. No nudity or sex.

I've spent the last week in pain. It started in my hip. It was severe pain. It was so severe that I contemplated going to the ER. I used up my backup pain pills instead. That removes that option in the future. I have had this kind of pain before. I did go to the ER, and it wasn't helpful. Got a dx of "either kidney stone or ovarian cyst with severe abdominal pain causing nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea." No Shit Sherlock. Try telling me something I don't know. Or at least pick a dx. Is it kidney stones? Is it Ovarian cyst(s)? None of this either or crap. Sadly, testing showed both, but I couldn't have a bursting ovaring cyst and a painful kidney stone at the same time, right? For reference, that kidney stone was massive. The ER visit was in April. The post above was in June, so about 2 months to pass the kidney stone. (I hope this doesn't last that long!)

But the type of pain I had this week was similar to the pain I had experienced at that time. I have a history of those things as well as IBS. I also have EDS/HMS and tend to sublax that hip often. It started with just the pain. Severe though it was, I lived. But on top of that, I got the diarrhea. When the vomiting started on top of that, I was done for.

For four days I was in agony. I couldn't keep food down. Thank God for Water Ice and believe it or not Pumpkin Pudding. I bought some a while back and pumpkin is good for your stomach and it's not quite solid food. I even tried my good chicken soup and watched it come back up as fast as it went down.

It has finally settled a bit today. I managed to get some of my things done. These things I have been working on but putting off finishing for a while. I've gotten behind. I have errands that are tedious. I have to drive for an hour to get the car papers turned over, for instance.

To add to this wonderous mess, I just got outside for the first time since the earthquake,(Or I'm guessing that's what did it.) and my gutter and part of my roof are in the yard.

It's not structural but enough that it's going to cost me. Dummy me, I thought I could get the insurance to pay for it.

You know, that thing where you pay money to people on the off chance that, in case of disaster, they return you money to you plus some more.

They had no problem paying the roof last year or this year's additional damage caused by bad repairs of the previous repairs.

But no. If the damage was from an earthquake, it's not covered. According to the insurance, God( and His signs and wonders[Matthew 24:24-26 ] )is infallible and does not need insurance. It is not even available.

And to add insult to injury, they are dropping my current policy and bumping the price. In this case, twice isn't as nice. My agent said to look around and see if there was something else. When I came back with some quotes, I got told, a new company won't take the risk. So why tell me to go look for quotes?

Also, isn't that what an insurance agent is for? To price out policies and try to get you the best coverage and help you get money when you have legitimate claims?

It's unfair. I'm getting punished for Global Warming/Mother Nature's Temper Tantrum/Gaia's Menopause. Oh, and having an old house that wasn't kept in repair. Had I only known, I would have gone back and nagged both my parents until they fixed everything when they had money and broken things when they broke.

So I've been working through all this and getting some other stuff settled. One, being I need an estate account to cash the damn insurance check that is going to cause all the problems. I had a joint account with my Dad in case of an emergency like this.(I'm not the only one in the family who gets feelings about stuff like that.) I had been using that account, which worked fine for everything else. Setting up that account took a little bit. I got there just after the bank opened and left just about lunchtime. But I hadn't eaten at all. I had been too afraid to try. But I decided to give it a go for a late lunch.

So, while at the bank, there is a grocery across the street. I grabbed some stuff there for lunch; some things that I hoped would stay down. I saw some lovely steaks on extreme sale so I called my aunt to tell her about the sale.

I mentioned to her that I had picked up chicken for chicken salad, because I was still recovering from my stomach issues. The mere mention of my health lead to an interminable(I looked. 11 minutes. Really, only 11 minutes?!) rant about how let's see...

-I'm doing it to myself

-I'm taking too many medicines

-I'm overdosing on Vitamins

-My stomach problems are caused by my medicines

-My medicines are counteracting with each other

-You're going to die early

-J*s*s F**king Chr*st Jay, why you are doing this to yourself

-You are as bad as **** with that habit of yours.[Not drugs but a stress induced tick. At the moment she yelled this, she figured out that I was doing it for psychological reasons rather than psychological ones. It's the first time it's connected for her. She's not big on the "touchy feely" and therapy type stuff but it gets a temporary reprive. ]

Now, that's a lot to shove into 11 minutes. The time includes the regular conversation, BEFORE she started in on me. I also may have blocked a few things because at some point, I just hold the phone away from my ear and say Uh-huh every few seconds.

She also offered to "help me" by accompanying me to the doctor's so she could continue this conversation in the presence of a medical professional who(by her reckoning) would agree with her and immediately stop prescribing the medications she herself prescribed. I told her that would not be necessary (I refrained from screaming AW, HELL NAW!). I also neglected to tell her when my appointment was.

I have important things to ask about at my doctor's appointment. Things that are more consequential than my aunt's need to control every aspect of my life.(Ha! She used to say my Dad was super controlling! He never tried to brow beat me into attending one of my doctor's appointment! Although I did attend his, mostly do to his memory not being the best and him not being able to drive.)

But there are many things I need to discuss and I don't need my appointment hijacked by my aunt. For instance, I would like to discuss how much Prozac I can safely take and if Xanax (as needed) is an option. I may be having some stress issues right now. I have a whole page full of things to discuss in a 15-minute appointment.

I wonder why I'm so stressed lately????

I need money too. Not that my Dr can help with that. I also need a vacation. I realize the insanity of that statement, but I need the R&R. My R isn't so restful, and my R isn't at all relaxing. It's more like S&S: Stressed and Subluxing.

Okay.

Rant over.

I just needed to get that out of my system.

Someone save me from the hand of Irony.

I spoke too soon.Before I got a chance to post this, I almost threw up again. I stopped myself. Fun. I'm not sure what would have come up besides liquid. I haven't eaten anything besides that chicken salad sandwich from lunch... and that was about 8 hours ago.

That could be part of the problem, lack of food. It did get better when I took a swig of sugary drink. I've always tended towards low blood sugar, and not eating is not helping. Also, a bit of a migraine is starting from a lack of caffeine because coffee doesn't set well when my stomach is upset, but I drink regular amounts of triple caffeinated cold brew to get to sleep. Odd, but it works.

I have the doctor's tomorrow. She'll have plenty of puzzles to figure out.

So there is a Clue Documentary on Amazon/Freevee.

Who Done It: The Clue Documentary

I know a few of my friends on here will be interested in this. The shirt is not mine. The guy on the documentary was wearing it, and I thought it was cool enough to track down.

While I was watching Flash, I had to stop myself from putting every one of Cisco's tees on my wish lists!

So, I decided to rewatch the CW Arrow universe shows. Didn't start with Arrow, which would have been logical, I suppose. I started with Supergirl. It definitely dragged at the end, but as a whole, the series plot holds up, minus the CBS season.

So I moved on to Arrow, right?

Nope, still in the mood for light-hearted comedy.

The Flash it is.

For the overall series plot? There isn't one. It's mostly monster of the week, with occasional multiple episode arcs woven in. As the seasons get higher, the concepts and villains get more ridiculous. I'm right around season 7 and man. Killer Frost throwing frozen lightning bombs? Shark dude fighting Gorilla Grodd(Which is basically King King but without violating copyright laws)? That could have been a movie on SyFy network. Just add a tornado and a cow eating alligator. The graphics get worse, too. I think when they originally ran on TV, we had just given up watching right about this point.

That says a lot, frankly. I have an obsessive need to finish things. I've learned to make myself leave things undone to acclimate my brain to the idea of the unfinished though or the unanswered question.

As I get closer to the last season, I remember more of why we ditched the series from our DVR. I may leave it unfinished again. After all, no one is holding a gun to my head to make me watch this. Although some episodes, it does feel like that. Creating gods or elemental forces or whatever, making no sense.

Edit:

Made it to the end.

Mostly.

Fell asleep a few times, well, a lot. Needed a break from Superheroes, so I rewatched Up Here. Still fabulous and funny. So now I'm back to the Arrowverse. Legends. Mainly, because Constantine requires walking up to my media room and Arrow, I have to be in the place for that kind of darkness. Has anyone ever done a body count for Arrow? They kill a metric ton of people in that first season or two.

The night before the feast, the acolytes gathered around the traditional sacrifice and said the sacred rites. Tomorrow, there would be the traditional breaking of the bunny. The neophytes had long awaited their turn at the ritual slaughter.

Billy Joel - Scenes from an Italian Restaurant (Official Audio)

So I have a line of a song go through my head and couldn't remember from which song it came. Gotta love the internet for easy answers.

The line BTW, was

They got an apartment with deep pile carpet and something something with the bread they had saved for a couple of years

Amazingly, that was enough to get me to Billy Joel's "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant." I should know the words better than that, though.

Full Lyrics below cut

A bottle of white, a bottle of red

Perhaps a bottle of rose instead

We'll get a table near the street

In our old familiar place

You and I, face to face

A bottle of red, a bottle of white

It all depends upon your appetite

I'll meet you any time you want

In our Italian Restaurant

Things are okay with me these days

Got a good job, got a good office

Got a new wife, got a new life

And the family's fine

We lost touch long ago

You lost weight I did not know

You could ever look so nice after

So much time

Do you remember those days hanging out

At the village green

Engineer boots, leather jackets

And tight blue jeans

Drop a dime in the box play the

Song about New Orleans

Cold beer, hot lights

My sweet romantic teenage nights

Brenda and Eddie were the

Popular steadys

And the king and the queen

Of the prom

Riding around with the car top

Down and the radio on

Nobody looked any finer

Or was more of a hit at the

Parkway Diner

We never knew we could want more

Than that out of life

Surely Brenda and Eddie would

Always know how to survive

Brenda and Eddie were still going

Steady in the summer of '75

When they decided the marriage would

Be at the end of July

Everyone said they were crazy

Brenda you know you're much too lazy

Eddie could never afford to live that

Kind of life

But there we were wavin' Brenda and

Eddie goodbye

They got an apartment with deep

Pile carpet

And a couple of paintings from Sears

A big waterbed that they bought

With the bread

They had saved for a couple

Of years

They started to fight when the

Money got tight

And they just didn't count on

The tearsThey lived for a while in a

Very nice style

But it's always the same in the end

They got a divorce as a matter

Of course

And they parted the closest

Of friends

Then the king and the queen went

Back to the green

But you can never go back

There again

Brenda and Eddie had had it

Already by the summer of '75

From the high to the low to

The end of the show

For the rest of their lives

They couldn't go back to

The greasers

The best they could do was

Pick up the pieces

We always knew they would both

Find a way to get by

That's all I heard about

Brenda and Eddie

Can't tell you more than I

Told you already

And here we are wavin' Brenda

And Eddie goodbyeA bottle of red, a bottle of white

Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight

I'll meet you anytime you want

In our Italian Restaurant

I ran across this. The only book I can think that this would be is A Discovery of Witches. The dates match. Posted on 2014, the book was released in 2011, and the series wasn't until 2018. That's about right.

Came across this term in a book and was interested. Bundling: Locking an engaged couple up in a room over night with a board between them to prevent hanky- panky. It was supposed to allow couples time to get to “know” one another. I know very few teenagers who would spend the night and not be tempted. But I’ve seen a few “adult” couples lately who seem like they’ve been permanently “bundled” if you know what I mean…

[rainbowjay20]

Well I’m tired and I’m weary and I must settle down Till the Lord comes and takes me away No more heartache or sorrow or trouble there’ll be There’ll be peace in the Valley for me

There’ll be peace in the Valley for me, I pray When the lion lays down with the lamb No more heartache or sorrow or trouble there’ll be There’ll be peace in the Valley for me

I don’t know where the words that we used came from. But I’m guessing one of my Grandmother’s hymnals. She was mostly Presbyterian.

Now it is the right time of year, Palm Sunday.

It's kind of the wrong time of year for this song, but I found the video of the original singer(Ewan MacColl) with Peggy Seeger Pete Segger's sister and also Ewan MacCall's wife.

Jesus was a working man,

A hero as you shall hear.

Born in the slums of Bethle-(Am)hem

At the turning of the year,

Yes, the turning of the year.

When Jesus was a little lad.

The streets rang with his name,

For he argued with the aldermen

And he put them all to shame.

Yes he...

He became a wandering journeyman

And he wandered far and wide,

And he saw how wealth and poverty

Lived always side by side,

Yes...

He said, "Come all you working men,

You farmers and weavers, too.

If you will only organize,

This world belongs to you,

Yes...

When the rich men heard what the carpenter had done,

To the Roman troops they ran.

Saying "Put this rebel Jesus down,

He's a menace to god and man,

Yes...

Jesus walked among the poor

For the poor were his own kind,

And they wouldn't let the cops get near enough

To take him from behind,

Yes...

So they hired one of the traitor's trade

And a stool-pigeon was he

And he sold his brother to the butcher's men

For a fistful of silver money.

Yes...

When Jesus lay in the prisoner's cell,

They beat him and offered him bribes

To desert the cause of his own dear folk

And work for the rich men's tribe,

Yes...

The commander of the occupying troops

He laughed and then he said,

"There's a cross to spare on Calvary Hill,

By the weekend he'll be dead,

Yes..

The sweat stood out upon his brow

And the blood was in his eye,

And they nailed his body to the Roman cross

And they laughed as they watched him die,

Yes..

Two thousand years have passed and gone,

And many a hero too,

But the dream of this poor carpenter

At last it is coming true,

Yes...
