Went to the hospital with pain I was unable to tolerate. I am very hard to get blood out of, so they take it from my hand as the arms are next to impossible. I seem to always have a bruise on my hand after they draw blood. They shot me up with a pain med I'd never heard of and I forget it's name. They then gave me a muscle relaxant and waited to see what happens. I knew there was a cyst on my right kidney and I thought it was that acting up but the doctor was certain it was a muscle. I found out the cyst is 5cm (1.9 inches) in size. That's kind of big. I thought it was smaller then that. The pain meds made it tolerable and I went home to sleep. I went to Rexall the next day to get the pain meds and they where not covered and I was full on not going to give them $58 and change for 5 days of pain meds, so I skipped it. 2 days later the pain was almost gone, so I'm glad I did not waste money on the medication.
Been not feeling well this last while and music and a good cup of coffee always makes it feel better. I listen to a lot of music and it also helps when I'm having a panic attack. I sit there with my favorite stuffed toy and drift into the music until I calm down. It also does somehow lessen the pain while I'm listening.
Not able to sleep, I turned on the security camera feed at 1am. There was a person moving in at that hour of the night. There was also a few people going in and out to smoke as you are not allowed to smoke inside. You are also not allowed to smudge or burn scented things, but someone on my floor seems to be burning incents often in the evenings. No idea who it is, but it's not bothering my chemical sensitivities, so I don't really care.
They changed out my fridge and the new one makes a sound now and then like when you drop a plastic drinking cup on the table. Not a clue what that is, but it seems to be working fine. There is the matter of the worlds most useless shelf on the other hand. I really wish it was flat so I could get more stuff in there, but NOPE got to have this monstrosity.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

God I Miss You Mom

Image
I miss her some much. We where like best friends in my adult years. We would spend a lot of time together just talking or watching TV together. We often watched Golden Girls on her TV. Our bond was deep. When I had to watch her rot away from cancer, it was something I'll never be over. It took part of my soul watching it happen. Nothing will fix it. For a couple of years I took care of her in her home. I moved into the same apartment building as her, even though the rent was higher than I could do normally. I would cook for her, and help her with everything she needed help with. I gave all I had to the point of exhaustion. I managed to get some help for her, but not nearly enough. I'm disabled and it was seriously hard to do all the work that needed to happen. Then when she was in the home, I visited every day, even when I was in terrible pain. Half of the time she was in a home 5 blocks from my home, and I walked every day, even in the rain. When she needed to be taken to Regi

Weight Update Turned Into A Health Care Rant

Image
I don't normally post these in my blog, but on Instagram and Facebook. I just had to mention I've been up and down a bit for years now but staying about the same range in average. For some reason when I got hurt badly on January 1, 2024, in a week I was up 47.6 LBS. The treatment put on a LOT of water weight. The edema was never worse. But I'm back down 44 LBS from then, so it's all good. In 10 years I lost over 100 LBS, then I just seemed to have stopped and started to go up and down a bit in the same range I'm in now for a couple of years. The edema of course, gives me a big jump when it flairs, and when it subsides, I tend to have a big drop. The thing is, it is hanging on a lot longer than it used to, and may be a permanent state in the near future. Before I'd have it flair up and I'd have it go away in a week. Now it's most of the month before it's gone away. It does not seem to matter how much salt I eat either. I skipped the hot dogs and I sti
