Yes. it's Thursday

     Today I have been trying very hard to be less anxious. One of the things that helps with that is taking my prn anxiety medication. It makes me drowsy though and then I end up taking a nap. Since I have bursitis in my hips and plantar fascitis in my heels it's hard for me to work at my skilled profession of pharmacy tech. Therefore a few months back I had to leave my job. Working on my feet all day was killing me. I've since been looking for a sit down job but frankly life gets in the way of that a lot. Especially when my elderly parent needs me or my MIL is ill and when my body just hurts to walk. I have been getting injections at the pain clinic for over a year now in my hip and that seems to help for short periods of time. Expensive as hell even with insurance but at least it gives me relief. This heel pain is becoming REALLY difficult to cope with it. The injections there did absolutely nothing except make it worse and the podiatrist says I now have to start physical therapy. I really hope this helps but I cannot start for another week and a half and it's supposed to hurt like hell too when they grind on you with hard plastic utensils. So yeah. What do I have to be anxious about? That's not even the half of it but I don't like whining continually about some of the other things bugging me including my ex and teenager. Let's just say everything to them boils down to money they aren't getting and it's all my fault. Or so they like to believe.

     One of the ways I try to keep my mind off of my anxiety is like today. I cook chili and brownies so I know when my hubby gets home he'll have a hot meal after work and something for his sweet tooth. He recently had to splice the cable on my laptop since one of the dogs decided it needed a bit of chewing on it. Without it I wouldn't be online today since I'm waiting on the new charger cable to come from Amazon. So I took the opportunity to take care of some windows updates and upgraded to 8.1 which I've been trying to avoid. 8 was enough for me and 10 doesn't sound much better but I thought fine. I'll give this a try. 10 will have to be a little later though. I'm just checking out how to fix some issues I've got going on now with my wifi connection flipping to LIMITED for some reason and having to be reconnected all the time. Hubby thinks it' a driver issue but I ran a full diagnostic on the pc and am stumped by an error message. So more research is necessary to even understand what to do next. But at least it keeps my mind away from spinning and more in productivity. Now if only I could do that with house cleaning.
