Wasted Day Pretty Much

 I didn't make it to bed until about 4:30am, and thin I finally dropped off at some point after 5:07am. Which led to me sleeping in until near noon, as my body was just beat. Tonight, I am up all night, trying to counter-act the sleep issue. If I can stay awake for most of tomorrow as well, I should get back onto the night sleeping fairly easy.

So, seeing as how I didn't get out of bed before noon, not much got done today. I ended up heading up to the pub mid-afternoon. Had a pitcher of soda, then was off to the Post for our General & Aux. meetings. A friend there, S, had gotten in mood today, and ended up cooking a load of tacos. We are talking handmade, tortilla over flame, stuff it, mold it, serve it up with rice and beans. Yeah, well, she said she brought like 60 tacos, and she wanted me to take a plate of them home for the Wife and Son - so I did. I grabbed a mix of the chicken and beef she made up. They were so good! I had like 4 just while at the Post! Wife was happy as she did not have to worry about supper fixin's. RM sent over her Eggs Ol'e recipe yesterday. I glanced at it briefly, scanned the procedure, and went on my way. This morning I should write out the list of ingredients I will need to get, as I need to check what we have here. I never know what food, seasoning, anything at times, that we have here, as I don't do the normal, regular shopping.

Tacos got me ordering from Amazon tonight. S had brought up some sauces for people to use for the tacos, and one was a brand name of "Melinda's" and was a green salsa Verde sauce. I put it on my tacos to try, and it is the bomb! I found out it is her favorite as well. Walmart carries it, but I am lazy, so looked it up on Amazon. I had some other items sitting in the cart, so figured I would just round things out and get the order in. Added some Grillo's Pickle De Gallo as well. Most of the stuff should be here before Friday. I think there was one package scheduled to arrive in about a week, but it isn't food, so doesn't matter.

Over the past few months, there have been so many physical and chemical changes going on with me, that sometimes, I just don't know what to think about it all. Not sure how they are related, but I am sure there are some common factors going on. The first thing I noticed, was my reading habits. I just could not pick up a book - ANY book - and have my attention stay focused for more than a few minutes. I find myself re-reading sections, or having to turn back to recapture what I had read, and seemingly forgot in 30 seconds. Might be the encephalopathy. I have spoken of my memory issues, so could be. My moods swing precariously. I am able to go from extreme happy and carefree to 'want-to-kill-you' angry in a half-second. This is something I think I notice more from abstaining from alcohol. I'm able to catch the urge to shift moods, and do my best to avert it. Throw in the litany of nausea, fatigue, sleeplessness, cramps, a paracentesis once a week, and some old age, and I am a walking time bomb, I swear.

After the meeting tonight, I came home and the in the mail had arrived a billing statement from my PCP. Insurance hasn't paid yet, so I am not paying, but I went ahead and entered the DOS and billed amount, patient amount, etc. into the spreadsheet I am making. I whipped out the new Excel book, and actually found some information that is helpful, and I will use. There is a bit more in there that is more advanced than my skills at the moment, but that means I have about 1/3 of the book to learn new stuff from, and make my spreadsheets nicer. That Word book was pretty worthless. That's the problem with ordering without being able to put your hands on the book and look inside it.

Welp, I am going to get out of here, and go find something else to do. Lord knows there is a list somewhere of everything I need to do, and I hope I never find it....
