July Blogging Challenge Day 8

What was my biggest challenge today?

Going to the doctors office. It was very busy in there and the waiting room is used by three doctors, so a lot of people I don't know where in there. I don't do well being alone with a lot of strangers at all. My anxiety was pinned to maximum the entire time and I was on the edge of all out panic.

Then when I got in there the doctor took a long time to get to the injection I needed in my left knee. Being that he was training an person from the front desk (not a medical professional at all) to help with the task, I was again uncomfortable.

I have a long lasting deep rooted fear of getting up on the examining table, and being that he wanted me too, I had to tell him I am afraid of it. He was able to do it while I was in a chair thank GOD or I'd have to have done up on the examining table and I'd probably have been on the edge of literally loosing my shit up there.

The injection was extremely painful and hours later still hurts. But it helped last time to dull the knee pain for months, so it's worth it, if it works this time.

To top things off, I forgot to delay taking my water pill and I seriously had to pee by the time he got to me. Because the guy in the next room was going to be a short time, he skipped me and did him, then did the injection and I was in pain my bladder was so full. They do NOT have a public bathroom, so I could not go, and needed to wait to get home.

My friend on the way home was worse than ever with her driving and it made me a lot uneasy. Not to mention several times people came blasting up past the stop sign and I thought that we would be hit by a car. People in Moose Jaw drive like idiots for the most part it seems.

So my biggest challenge was going out to a place I'd be alone with a bunch of people I don't know. The rest was just to cause even more anxiety.

Coffee or Not Coffee That Is The Question

Image
I got this on sale for a bit less than $7 a bag (250g). It's very good and I like it a lot. The thing is, it's now almost $10 a bag. The other blends of Lavazza coffee are almost $8 a bag. Now I tend to use 5 bags a month on average for just 1 cup of coffee a day with my large Moka Pot. This has become a very large expense to say the least. Sure I can get a close to 1KG can of coffee for $16 at my local store, but it it worth the price at all? I don't think it is. If I have coffee at home, I want to be able to enjoy the hell out of it, not just use it to wake up. The entire point of coffee to me is the ritual of making it, and the great pleasure I get in consuming a very good cup of coffee. So when it's going to set me back close to $43 a bloody month to have coffee at home, I think I'll skip it to say the least. Six months ago that was about $28 a month. So in half a year, the price has gone through the bloody roof and it's become the luxury of the wealthy to a...

It's Bloody Cold in My Apartment and It's Causing Me a Lot of Pain

Image
Got to wonder if the person from Moose Jaw Housing that decides the boiler should be BLOODY OFF in the building has the heat in their home turned off right now, or if they are comfortable and warm - while about 90 people freeze in here. Phoning in and/or emailing does about nothing it seems. This has happened many times and only once did they turn the bloody heat on. This is literally not legal - it's not allowed to be under 16C, or THEY are responsible for giving you an electric heater to use until it warms up. But here I sit being in terrible pain, because I have fibromyalgia and the cold causes me a hell of a lot of pain. I know I'm disabled and on the system to survive, but I'm a bloody human and if people treated animals like this, they law would come down on them - yet here we are humans freezing in our apartments. I've lived in some doggy places in my time, but this is the only one where it's been extremely cold in the place. I do have to note, they they kee...
