disclaimer

apparently the members of the band simple people are all up in arms about what i have said on my blog. somehow they've taken it as the velveteen habit badmouthing them.

dear simple people,
yes, i know the memebers of the velveteen habit, but this is not their website. this is a space voiced soley by myself where i express my views and my opinions.
i would appreciate it if you stopped being mad at them and directed your anger where it is warranted, ie, me. i wrote whatever it is you are upset about so have it out with me.
do not hold it against the members of the velveteen habit or jet studios as it has nothing to do with them.
should you wish to discuss this further, please comment below and we will discuss it. you and me. not through the bands and hearsay.
love carly

i remember this, i think.  i have a vague recollection of seeing the band, but not of the kerfuffle mentioned.
i googled simple people. they dont exist anymore. neither does velveteen habit

ups and down, ins and outs

so last week we had the forgetting, the seeing mystery things, the not seeing actual things, the not wanting to leave my room.... what can we do with this week?

oh! i know, how about i make everyone at work think im having a heart attack?! awesome idea, me!


i checked some books in, i grabbed one, (in the correct way, OT lady), turned and placed it in the trolley behind me. goodness me, that hurt. i'll just rest here until the pain in my back stops..... doesnt seem to be stopping.... actually seems to be getting worse... oh look, i cant breathe! handy!
to save you all the tiny details, i was wheeled on an office chair into the staff room, where i lay on the floor with a wet paper towel on my forehead, my legs on a block, my arms not moving, turning paler and paler, feeling hot and cold, getting numb tingly hands

apparently i was dying


ok, i wasnt dying, but everyone was super worried about me. so super worried that i was transported to the hospital in an ambulance.

i wasnt dying though. id *just* pulled a muscle in my back. but when i say 'just', the doctor said 'they can be excruciatingly painful'. she was correct!

then i went home

i had endone. i recommend endone for all your pain needs. i will say it every day if someone gives me a life time supply

~~~~

the next day is today. i feel a lot better, and i discover this

Monkey magic

Just heard a banging noise on my roof. I'm imagining a troop (barrel?) of monkeys. Those ones that have tiny faces and really long arms that they hold above their heads when they do their funny little side step run

right, so i had a cat scan


JOKES!

but i did. i had a cat scan and a shitload of blood taken. cos, im not sure that you know, but seeing things that arent there and not seeing things that are? that is not correct brain procedure.

all that we found out is that my brain is fine. but as far as my blood work goes, my pain receptors are heightened. this basically means that i hurt, and i hurt lots. and if you were feeling that hurt it would probably be quite ok, possibly non existent, but probably handleable. when i hurt, it HUUUUUURTS. and its real because thats the way my body is feeling it.  so, dont hit me or anything, k?

to fix this i have to get lighter and fitter.

im considering a photo a day thing. this is for a couple of reasons.

it will help me post more.
if i do lose weight, i'll be able to put it together like in a flip book an watch myself get skinny.
if i make the commitment to post a photo every day, that means (for your sake and mine) that i will need to get dressed every day, and therefore, put some sort of effort into my appearance.

but as you know i am very very lazy.  so i guess i'll aim for 3 photos a week and see what happens

what i believe today


  • that outside was dangerous, and could quite possibly kill me
  • if outside didnt kill me, when i am driving in my car i will be attacked by the worms that, as of friday morning,  now reside in there
  • the safest thing to do today would be to stay in my room with my dog
  • i will do one, two, or all of these things : cry, vomit, sleep


what is actually true


  • i doubt very much that outside will kill me
  • ginger beer is not gross
  • there arent actually any worms in my car
  • i will do one, two, or all of these things: cry, vomit, sleep


where i am in my head is somewhere between those two lists. i am in bed. i didnt go to work because outside was too scary. i dont know what is scary about it. i have just returned from taking 4 steps out of my back door, and i didnt die, nor was there any inkling of something heinous approaching.
although, while out there i asked my boyfriend to marry me one day. he said 'maybe one day, actually, i take that back'.

probably an intelligent, sensible answer. i did hallucinate worms in my car on friday morning and almost run off the road. i also hung my dress on a coat hanger the other day, before tossing it onto the pile of clothes that is devouring my floor space.

kailey slept with me. i slept. i managed not to vomit or cry. i woke up to find nick had been to the shops and brought me in a trolley of tea and chocolate.
