New bed for me? YAS QUEEN! Well, more like a double, but still...

A couple hours ago I finally invested in a new mattress, bought online. I've been sleeping on a twin for at least five years after my old mattress was finally too beat out to be comfortable anymore. As it was, my old mattress was given to me by somebody I never met and it was pretty old back then as well. So I'm moving back up to a double mattress once again. I don't need any bigger as it's just me and the cats that sleep in it, and now I'll have enough room to move around in once again. I have my eye on a metal bed frame with a headboard and foot board, and I may purchase that eventually. But for now the kid and I will be swapping bed frames - their bed frame can be made big enough to fit a full size mattress, where mine is only a twin and it's only a few months old. The kid's bed frame is from the same manufacturer as the old one of mine that broke, but I do plan on replacing it eventually anyway. I also bought a set of sheets for the new mattress beca

Pandemic update...

Another day in paradise. Well, not really. After a really shitty night of sleep where I woke up several times gasping for breath due to my sleep apnea I'm finally up and about for my day. Still not back to work. Stupid pandemic. And even when we do re-open we're going to be at reduced capacity, which likely means less hours for me. I may just request that they don't call me back until we're fully open for operation or until they can give me my f/t hours again. I'm sure that if it comes down to it that I can reapply for EI again using the hours from my time at the grocery store - my previous claim ran out last week, but I was eligible for the CERB thingy for the remainder of the month so at least I had some money coming in. Woo? One thing about not being able to go out and about is that my spending has been slashed way down. It's so weird to have more than a couple hundred bucks in my bank account and to have all my bills paid off. I can tell you that if I

Health bullshit...bleh

The past few weeks have seen me not do a whole lot, including staying up on keeping the kitchen completely cleaned up. I can pinpoint when I stagnated too: the day the doctor told me that I'm starting into liver failure. Such is life. But I know that I'll start getting back into the swing of things soon enough. Especially now that I'm back on my proper med regime. I have another doctor's appointment coming up next week, so we'll find out what the status of my most recent blood tests. I had the tests done on Monday, and I was supposed to call my doctor's office to make another appointment but I kept forgetting...go me. But the secretary called me yesterday morning to set up an appointment for next Wednesday. I usually associate this sort of thing with the news not being good. But at the same time I know that if my results were completely bad that I wouldn't be waiting a week to speak to the doctor. Yet, I still worry. I realized that even if my doctor
