Thank you 6 lb, 8 oz. Baby Jesus – this week is finally over!
Even through it started out with a Monday, the week begn pretty well, other than everyone being tense and a little stressed out at work getting ready for a really huge trial.
Tuesday – eh, not so much. I got stopped because apparently my license plate was not renewed back in May (when it expired) and come to find out my insurance had lapsed. Here in the Bayou State, they pull your plate and tow your car if you’re not insured. The state trooper DID pull my plate but was nice enough not to tow it. Instead he just put a ginormous neon green sticker on my back window. So first thing when I finally get to work that morning, I’m on the phone trying to get the insurance issue straightened out. After a little while I’m official to once again drive the streets of LA. Remember that trial I said is coming up? Well, I haven’t left the office for lunch or before 6:30 since I got the slight infraction, so tomorrow a.m. the runner from our office is going by the DMV to pick my plate up for me.
Wednesday, I send an attorney to Houston to take a deposition of the surgeon in the upcoming trial case and realize I forgot to arrange for a court reporter to take said deposition. In the 10+ years that I’ve been doing this, I have never forgot to arrange for the court reporter. Oh, I’ve remembered pretty last minute once or twice but never completely forgot. Thankfully it all worked out but it didn’t do much for my stress level…which in turn caused a HUGE fibro flare-up. I have been in pain for the last 36 hours. Argh!
Thursday (yesterday), I get a text message from Michelle telling me if we needed to evacuate for the hurricane, we were more than welcome to head up to her house. My response? “Um…what hurricane?” Her reply? “Time to watch the news honey.” Ok, so I’ve been busy. I mean really busy. In addition to getting ready for the trial of a 6-yr. old case, I’ve been helping That Man with his remodeling project for the last 4 or 5 months, every weekend, Saturday and Sunday. I look tired and a year older than the Bible, and feel even more tired. I barely have enough energy to brush my teeth when I get home much less watch the news. Anyway, I checked the local weather page. Unless things go crazy as a shite-house rat overnight, it looks like we’ll only get some much needed rain.
Then there was the drive home from work. Now I’m all for keeping yourself healthy and helping the environment where you can but this man, this one right here? Every day that I pass him on my way home from work causes me to almost lose my religion.
Do you see where he is? Right in front of my hood. There is not a bike lane there on the bridge (remember this bridge Candance?) but he continues to ride in this exact spot here in traffic, every day of the week…rain or shine. Holding up all the traffic. I swear some days I just want to pull up beside him and fling open my door. That’s not nice and certainly not what a lady would do but man…argh.
Well, thanks for sticking around ‘till the end. I’ve literally fallen asleep twice writing this.
So long y’all. Have a great long weekend everybody and stay safe!

Damn girl, I'm tired from just reading this! I hope you're able to get some rest this weekend. Your body is protesting lol.
God, I remember what my flare ups were like back when I was first diagnosed...ouch! Thank goodness as time goes by the bad ones like that are few and far between!
Hope you feel better boo!
So do you have a vacation or some other celebratory even planned once the trial is done? I sure hope so!
Prior to scrolling down from your pic, I screamed, "He's riding a bike on THAT bridge!!" Then I saw what you wrote.
Also, Do-gooder Michelle can bite me because I was totally going to ask the same thing but she beat me to the punch.
We'll all be together TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY!!!!!!
That's why you need insurance....LOL
them pesky bikers.....:0)
have a great weekend, and get some rest.
Here in health conscious Colorado we have some VERY narrow VERY steep highways going up the mountains. They are doing 5 miles an hour up a 2 lane road holding up traffic, and NONE OF THEM ARE EVER SMILING! What is WRONG with these people?
Take a break...

Bikers irritate the crap out of me. We have a shit load of them around here because we have wide shoulders and hills. But they refuse to ride close to the grass, they ride right on the line so that we have to swerve over to miss them. One of these days, I aint gonna swerve.
And Candance, you just must not love her as much as me!
Biker dude is seriously missing a few grey matter cells.
And I'm sorry about the fibro flare up... no fun :( Glad you were safe!
sounds like you had a rough week. although i do have to admit i loved your little video. and then i felt all bad when i remembered that i don't think you live to far from me. but i was glad to hear you weren't that far from that man's house. and i do see you got off of the side of the road.
p.s. i may have peed my pants a little when you mentioned the sasquache. just a little.
