Can You Hear Me Now?

You can disregard my iTunes bitching in the last entry. I bit the bullet and transferred some of my music files from my PC to my Mac and my iPod is now loaded properly. More or less. I have waaaaay more CDs I’d like to put on there! I like that I have a ton of my self-hypnosis and affirmation CDs on there too, and moved my iHome to beside my bed, replacing my old alarm clock and CD player I used to keep there, which has made for much better nights. I can easily flip to various things to help me get to sleep and they’re actually working. I usually drift off to my Louise Hay affirmations CD (which came with her Affirmations Tool Kit and is awesome) and play and re-play my “sleep better” hypnosis CD as I wake up every hour. I fall back asleep pretty quick, even though I awake again within an hour. I haven’t used sleeping pills lately, but I am using the meds my neuro prescribed which I’m sure are no better, they’re just not called “sleeping pills” so I’m telling myself they are.

I am seeing my doctor AGAIN on Friday, to hopefully review whatever the results of my blood tests are. I am going to remember, this time, to ask him about medicinal marijuana. I really think a cuppa cannibas tea before bed will help me sleep and help my stiffness/pain/discomfort. I’ve already decided I am going to do it, whether he approves or not. If I can’t get a script, I have “other” ways. My friend told me I’d be munching down on Cheetos every night. So I guess if overeating becomes a problem, I’ll have to find a cocaine dealer as well. Sigh. It never ends.

Speaking of Cocaine, I understand it’s a great weight loss tool. I’m pretty sure Hollywood is on to this. I don’t believe for one second everyone is doing no-carbs-lemon-water-maple-syrup-cayenne-pepper-Jenny-Craig blah blah. It’s coke, people. Admit it.

Last night I watched an interesting story on W5 about stem cells and MS. It prompted me to spend hours and hours researching online, checking out stem cell treatment centers and articles about people going for it, and every road leads back to that clinic in China (in terms of reputation, stories from people that have been, and the treatment process). I think I’m gonna go for it. First I need to get my passport. Then I’ll follow all the other steps, which will include major fundraising events. It’s too bad our dollar isn’t too good right now, because the cost is in US dollars. So I need to raise about $50,000 CDN. Yup, you heard that right. But I would do pretty much anything to get my life back, even to where I was at as little as 2-3 years ago. And I know a lot of people will support me and it is doable. No matter where you stand morally on the subject… they use stem cells from the umbilical cords of healthy babies and your own bone marrow, so no embryos are involved if you have a problem with that. And I’ll never understand people who do have a problem with that… they go in the GARBAGE. Garbage, or save someone? I don’t get it and never will. And don’t try to explain your opposing view in the comments because you will NEVER change my mind!

I typed this while I watched the Oscars. YAY SLUMDOG!! I predicted all the major categories (and knew Slumdog would win the little ones it was nominated for) so I really wish I had entered some contests somewhere. I thought it was a great show, Hugh Jackman was great! I think I cried through most of it. I’m sooooo easily moved!

Pita is on me and she already deleted half this entry (thankfully I save as I go) so I’m outta here!
