I think my diabetes might be in remission. I read that an a1c under 6.5 is no longer considered diabetic, and mine is 6.4! That would be awesome 🤗 Gonna call my doctor to ask about this today. I want to see what she says, because she didn’t mention that when going over the bloodwork results with me.
The section 8 inspector came at 9am, I was in my robe looking haggard and he asked if he woke me up, to which I said “yep!” In a frighteningly cheerful manner 😆 Nice guy, he even fixed my crazy faucet. After that I crawled back into bed because I hadn’t slept at all that night. I tried to just stay up an extra couple hours and listen to creepypastas on YouTube until I had to get up, but got tired and tried to get a quick nap. I was unsuccessful. 😬
I got the results of my lung x-rays, totally normal. I won’t lie and say I wasn’t disappointed. I was definitely hoping it wasn’t lung cancer or something horrific like that, but I want answers! If they can’t find what’s wrong, how can it be treated? I’m really scared I’m going to be stuck with this breathing issue for the rest of my life. I am 100% convinced this is NOT caused by anxiety, I believe it is a physical condition. Upping my depression medication did nothing. Ativan does nothing. Why? Because it isn’t anxiety! They can’t blame every problem on that one thing. 😑
I go out with Karen today, wonder if she’d be willing to go out of town since there’s fuck all to do here. I can’t visit the same thrift stores every week because there’s nothing really different yet. Also, JoAnne is closing! I’m gonna cry. I guess they must have gone bankrupt like Big Lots. Two of my favourite places. Big Lots is actually re-opening their stores because they got bought out by Roses. If you’ve been to a Roses, you know they’re kind of junky, disorganised and have a lot of what could be described as “crap”. I went into the already reopened Big Lots in Hickory a couple weeks ago and they’d basically turned it into a bigger, shittier Roses. They said they would keep the stores like they were before and have the same stuff. That wasn’t the case. The little dvd/blu ray section of our Big Lots was an absolute treasure trove. I never knew what I would find and would often see things I would never expect to see there and get all excited lol. Big Lots was great 😢
Speaking of Roses….about ten years ago, a brilliant prankster from my little town opened a Facebook event page. It claimed that Fred Durst was going to do a concert at our local Roses. It blew up and about half of us were in on the joke, and the other half was so angry and indignant that anyone would believe Fred Durst was gonna do a concert at a fucking Roses. Those of us who knew what was up were pretending to believe it and acting ridiculous, and when someone would say “you’re stupid for believing that” everyone would tell them they were just jealous they can’t get tickets to see Fred Durst because it was sold out 🥴 A friend of a friend who I wasn’t very fond of was in the comments going off on people for being idiots, and they played her like a dang fiddle, I have never seen anything like it. It just kept flying over her head, over and over. Whoooosh! I was so impressed I made a typical cryptic post stating that I just witnessed some grade A trolling or something like that. 😂 Roses was getting tons of calls about this and I think it was in the newspaper. I’ll never forget that. I mean, if you’re gonna troll, make it a good one. I do love a good non-harmful prank . I wish I remembered the name of the guy who made the event, I’d buy him a sandwich or something.
