The Uneventful Events

Well today has been non-stop mundane action. I was awakened this morning by Ziggy's howling. He is just beside himself because Daisy, Rosie, and Pia are all in season together. It doesn't help that Ziggy, Rosie, and Daisy all sleep out in the sun room together. He just goes on and on because he can smell them and still can't have them. So I woke up to that and hes been doing it all day long. We just have to alternate between him and the girls as to who can come out and play.

So after having gotten up, Mom and I went to visit my grandmother and take her clean laundry over. She recognized me but couldn't remember my name. Sometimes she does, sometimes she doesn't. oh well... Then we went to Rookwood so we could pick up some things from Wild Oats. (that place is amazing if you've never been there, its a food place) Then we couldn't get everything we needed there so right before we went home we stopped at Kroger and bought the last few grocery items. I said I'd wait in the car while mom shopped, it shouldn't take long. As I was sitting there listening to music I started to faid in and out of sleep. Suddenly I went into one of my beloved absence seisures while thinking oh shit, I didn't take my meds this morning. Bloody perfect... Then I guess I fell asleep again or was just totally out of it. When I came to, there was a different song on the radio, and I was sitting there thinking it had been a long time for mom to be gone. Of course when I have one of these, my sense of time gets totally screwed. Then as I was sitting there thinking what the heck, how long have I been out of it... my mom opens the door. I felt another one coming and at first tried to fight it. Then I realized there was no point, when I got to that stage, it would only make it worse for me to delay it. So instead I relaxed and let myself go. I could feel my head fall over to the side and hear my mom's voice droning in the background, but I didn't have much else. I tend to forget where I am during these, its like part of my brain was saying, you're right near your house, not 2 minutes away. Yet I couldn't have told you exactly where I was had I been asked. This one was relatively short, less than a minute. When I came back fully it felt like I had been gone for a long time. My mom looked at me and asked what happened, I said seisure and she just shook her head. Interestingly enough, I had the same thing last night. What was strange about it though was that I wasn't sure if I had actually had one or if I was dreaming. I had started to fall asleep and thats when it started. So when I "woke up" I didn't know if it had actually happened or not. It wasn't until I felt my heart pounding in my chest and this piercing ringing in my head that I knew I'd actually had one. Didn't occur to me today until I had that one in the parking lot. Thing that really sucks with these, is that I get a horrible headache afterwards. It's not the usual one where you take a tylenol and you're fine. No, this feels like someone just bashed my head a few times with a board, and no amount of tylenol helps that. I've tried, doesn't help. I took a nap to relieve some of the pressure but of course Ive had it the entire day. Thats what I get for forgetting my pill! Stupid me...oh well, won't be doing that again!

My mom's birthday was on the 4th so today me, my sister, our friend Malisa, and mom had dinner together. We joked about a lot of things, mainly men since Malisa is now engaged. It was a lot of fun, even with my splitting headache and the paper which I have yet to finish calling my name. lol My highlight of the day however, was discovering that I have more fish babies! I was standing by my tank and noticed 3 new babies caught between the glass and the small box I have in there for the first group. I already have 10 babies which I think are Swordtails. They're kept in this mesh box so that they get the same water and filtration as the rest of the tank but the other fish can't get in and they can't get out. Prevents anyone from getting eaten. :) So I got my net and caught the 3, putting them in with the other babies. Thats when I really started looking all over the tank for the others. I caught 11, I know there are 2 more which are being buggers and I can't seem to catch just yet. I've only found 2 bodies so far, but who knows how many have died whose bodies I didn't find. So Im going to have a lot of fish when these guys are all grown. I'm going to have to find homes for most of them, a 10 gallon can only support so many. I have one request in, Im sure I can find others that would be interested in a few. For now though they are too small to go anywhere else.
