Hi Everyone!
 
Where the hell have I been?
I'm almost embarrassed to say! 
I've been right here, at home. 
 
I'll give a quick update, it's nothing major...trust me.
 
I've been trying my butt off to get in a therapy appointment.  Since Mr. D. has gone back in the office 3 days a week and with Little D. in school (but I have to be home to get her off the bus), it's near impossible.  My therapist ALWAYS gives me a 2 PM appointment, I keep telling him he needs to get HIS head checked...Little DAILY GETS OFF the bus at THREE!  It's an hour long appointment!  WTF!  If he wakes my ass up one more time to tell me he's got an opening at 2 PM, I'll put myself in jail.  So, I haven't gone to therapy in forever.  Put it this way...it's been WAY too long since I've been.
 
My pain has increased in my back, but I'm trying not to think about it when it hurts and I think that may be helping me in a little way.  There are three bridges that are on my side of the river to get me to the town I need to be in for 2 of my doctors.  Driving is one of my "things" that sets off panic attacks, but bridges make it worse.  I freak.  As of today all three bridges are being worked on!  It is a traffic nightmare from what I have heard.  I haven't gone over any of them in a long time.  Anyway, that's preventing me from going to the chiropractor.  I'd rather have back pain than a panic attack...no, I am not kidding.  I do not feel like death is greeting me while being stuck in traffic, on a bridge.  I just might jump to make "it" stop.
 
Mr. Daily opened up a boutique store for me online.  I can't physically do it.  It's more like his business and it wasn't ever for me lol.  He just asks me what lines to buy into and handles the rest.  If people need to know more information about the clothing, he'll ask me, I tell him and he talks to the customer.  It's going okay, so far.  Of course it all happened and was final RIGHT when the market when "POOF!"
 
Speaking of Mr. Daily (again), I referred him to a site that will help him, and many other men, with security alerts.  Alerts to global PMS.  Yes, as in when the women of the world are in their PMS mode.  There's an index that goes up and down based on the information that their lovely men place in to gather the rating.  I think the level is "Orange" last I checked.  He did send me some posts done by men that CRACKED me up!
 
I found my old room-mate after seven long years of not seeing or hearing anything about her.  We met at the restaurant that's attached to the mall (I wouldn't ever go into an actual mall without drugs).  I seriously almost DIED when she came over to visit with her daughter.  Why?  Well, when we were room-mates, we lived 30 miles from where I am now and almost in the city, just the other side of it.  Get this, we live 4.2 miles from each other now!!  I know, right!  What are the chances!  We literally have not spoken in 7 years and had different friends.  Even spookier...we were both looking for each other!!!
 
Other than that, haven't been doing much but trying to find out who the EFF "Joe the Plumber" is.  I found him today, thanks to CNN.  Seriously, I thought Joe the Plumber was like a world renowned Plumber that must have invented every toilet product in the stores!  
 
Little Daily has been throwing all out fits after school and I'm actually exhausted after the 400 she had in a week.  Today was the worst.  I'm really going to sleep tonight...I think...I hope.  That is if she doesn't decide to come in our room and tap me to put her in our bed.  That's been going on for a week.  Could that be why my pain's increased...HELL YEAH I'm sure it is!
 
I've missed you all!  I hope you're all doing well!

    i hope you can get your therapist to grasp the concept of Little D's pick up schedule.  it's hard sometimes for these people to understand regular lives and responsibilities, isn't it?
     
    Joe the plumber was all over the news this week, and especially today and our precious media dug up as much dirt as they could on him.  It's a little troubling to me that they went right for character assasination just because he didn't agree with Obama's economic plan.  Makes me wonder if disagreeing with the popular folks is going to go the way of horse and buggy soon....
     
    Anyway, I think Joe's a decent enough fellow, and alot of people are glad he put two and two together and got 4. 
  • mobil said on Oct 16, 2008....
    No I am not Joe the Plumber haha, but I do understand your fear of bridges, when you sit on them, you can feel them bouncing.
     
    Perhaps put a CD in the radio and rock and roll in the car so you don't feel the bounce?.........probably not huh?

    Hey Daily!  I've been wondering about you... I couldn't get the video to work.  Who is Joe the Plumber?  If he's not a plumber, what is he?  I'm so out of the loop.  Thanks for filling us in.  :)
  • cuppajava said on Oct 17, 2008....
    Hi,I know that I am a little late in seeing this,but i will be back to it tomorrow
  • wombat said on Oct 17, 2008....

    Hi Daily!  I've wondered about you, too.  Glad you are "ok" for the most part.  I do have to say I got a small chuckle when you said you told the therapist he needs to get HIS head checked!  Maybe he will get the message and try to accomodate your schedule better now.  Sorry your back is bothering you, but you know I am with you on the driving thing.  I don't care for bridges, either! Cool about the boutique site--I wish you both luck on that, even with the economy downturn.  And funny about the PMS site--haven't tried to look yet, myself---but I can believe the "orange" level.. Ha!

    I sure hope little Daily adjusts better soon.  That must be so frustrating!  No idea why the fits?

    As for Joe The Plumber, I don't know much about that, except a bit from the news and late night talk shows, but I bet he didn't see that coming!  I bet he thinks it's pretty cool, all in all.

    Well, here's hoping things get better all around for you, and good to see you!

  • lionesss said on Oct 17, 2008....
    hiya daily, how are you, im so sorry to hear you are in alot of pain with your back, nothing worse than back pain and you have a little 1 to pick up aswell and CLICK ya back goes ''omg the pain''...
    oh and bridges i hate em, its the water underneath that does me, its my worse fear 'water', it frightens me to death, i can swim but its the not knowin how deep or whats in there, yyyaakkkk'',, i hope that you get to see your therapist at a decent time, i hate early mornings  ''8.30 ok for you?? errr bit later love,'' hahaha
    nice to hear from you take care :)xx
  • husbandhater said on Oct 17, 2008....
    We miss you too Daily. Take care of yourself and lil D we understand. And as far as Joe Plumber it turns out he is not a Licensened Plumber just a helper which means he won't be owning any business anytime soon. He's probably a Plant by the McCain campaign. And as we can see McCain is on the desperate end so.....
  • polarheart said on Oct 18, 2008....
    Hi Friend, just bookmarking to come back later :-)
  • skald said on Oct 18, 2008....
    Missed you too but I have not been here my self for a while. You are so right not to try not to think of your aches. I have had back aches for years and I had a very bad nerve ache in my cheek for years and as I could not get any help for that and I wanted to live on and be happy I found a way to ignore my ache and it is the best thing when nothing can be done anyway. I did not want to live on pills. Love and hugs ((((((((((((hugs))))))))))

    I think you've gone up in the polls.
  • princessbitch65 said on Oct 30, 2008....
    Hi Daily, I haven't been around myself. Have a lot going myself.
     
    What is up with therapist, doctors and dentists not having hours that can work with your schedule? Both my primary care doctor and my dentist do not have office hours on Fridays now. I am off that day so I have to take off to see a doctor or dentist. I wish I kept my Wednesday/ Thursdays as my off days. Oh well can't have everything!;)
  • princessbitch65 said on Oct 30, 2008....

    Oh I forgot, I hope things are going well! Miss chatting with you!

  • Lucytorial said on Dec 10, 2008....
    Daily, I've been missing you... where are you? is little daily giving you a break? what about the rest of your life!! girl come back, frop a line.
  • dailyachesandpains said on Dec 23, 2008....
    Hi all!
    I popped in last night for the first time since October! 
    Boutique is actually doing well, but then anything that we clear ends up going toward something that suddenly costs a chunk of change to fix. 
    Little Daily is doing very well in school and health wise.  We're taking her to Disney AGAIN for her birthday, but this is the last time since we have to pull her out of school for it.  It's my sister-in-law's vacation from school down there when we go, so they're going to stay with us.  Little D. will get to see her cousins. 
     
    I've seen my old roomie SO many times since I posted.  It's just like old times, but with kids!  I had a low level anxiety day for once and we actually went out for a "Mommy night" and we had a blast!  I feel really badly because her husband came home from work and just told her that he wanted a divorce!  She didn't expect it...but she's doing okay with it.  I didn't care for him at ALL when I met him.  When we went out for our Mommy night, she ended up hitting it off with one of my OLD friends from high school!  She had "self worth" issues thanks to her husband and had 2 other people (guys) I knew hitting on her too!  I think it boosted up her confidence!  If that's what it took then I am SO happy!  One of them actually plows for her area of town and plowed her driveway...with her husband at home!  Bah-hahaha!  Her driveway is as long as a street. 
     
    Mr. Daily is fine.  He's going back to his old position and taking a pay cut too!  That's because his boss is a total BIATCH!  It only took a couple of weeks for her to go back and make him go into the office 5 days a week.  That wasn't part of the deal...at all.  Then she gave him a PAGER!?!  Didn't know they still made them!  She put him oncall all the time!  I couldn't phsyically do a damn thing!  It was so hard on my back.  I have to walk up and down a HUGE hill to get Little D.  to and from the bus stop.  I couldn't get out of bed (literally) on one day and had to ask my neighbor to walk her down for me.  I felt like an idiot!  So, January first we will have our old lives back.
     
    We're having our family Christmas gift exchange tonight.  Tomorrow night, we go to my Aunts house, the mother of my little cousin that past away suddenly.  I still can't believe he's gone.  Our second Christmas without him.  Christmas day we go to my other Aunts for dinner.  Saturday we will go to Mr. D's family dinner and gift exchange.  They're good about having it after Christmas so that the spouses and children can be with their families and avoid conflict over who is where on Christmas day.  Little D. wants a Wii and she's getting one but has NO clue!  My Mother got it for her.  If I had my way...she wouldn't be getting one because that means Mr. D is actually getting it.  LOL!  Oh!  Sunday, Mr. D. is having old friends over that he hasn't seen in ages.  They're sleeping over since they're all coming from out of town so I just have to clean and clean some more!  NOT really looking forward to it, but it'll be nice for him.  Even though the wives are coming too...I'm not all that into it. 
     
    Have a Merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) and a Happy New Years!
