Catching up #1

I hope I won't have to do any of those series. But just in case, I'm going to number it.

I had a pretty busy weekend last week. On Saturday, despite all my effort, I was unable to make it to Bingo Night. That's why I didn't even look at the reviews and pics so I don't cry. Needless to say, I had a grand time at the party we were contracted to film. I was amongst people from my hometown, music from my hometown, classy party.. it was fun to film! I'm already editing it!

On Sunday, I woke up VERY sore! When you get up and trying to get out of bed and your back won't let you, you KNOW you are in trouble! Yet, I managed to do Shanty's christening video montage and simultaneously burn some 45 DVD's. Don't ask! Some kind soul went and got me some Robaxacet for my back which helped a whole lot!

That was also when I got my sister's message that she got a toothache and requires a root canal. OUCH! She just came out from a night stay at the ER for what I call a "vascular exfoliation". Now she needs to have a root canal. I'm just worried about her recent blood thinning (the vascular exfoliation folks!) treatment she got, her cardiac problems and the root canal how it will all affect her. I will definitely go with her to the dentist when it's going to be done.

On Monday, I had a doctor's appt. He had already received the results of my respiratory function tests. That's neat! Now it's next month for the allergy test which I am not looking forward to be poked! But if I must, I will. I don't know how something that I react to in my throat can cause a reaction on my skin? Like I told my doctor, during allergy classes by one of my favorite nursing teachers Pat Brown, I wasn't paying attention. Sorry Pat, it was the most boring class ever because it reminded me so much of Biology. But I do remember IgE LOL

I went to my sister's to keep her company for a while. She was dizzy, nauseous and in pain when I got there. We thought the antibiotics were already doing a number on her. So later on that day, I went to get her some yogurt. I also got her some rice pudding since she can't eat solid food. I've been there - not with a tooth abscess but infected wisdom tooth - so I know what she must be going through. I also lived on pudding for a while myself. We had fun! She was looking at the pics on my dead Palm and the video I made. She asked why I was so sad. I told her when I don't feel well at all, I took pics in case I die; she laughed at me. She saw a video I did when I was coughing up a storm to the point my butt would hurt where I said I'm gonna die. We both were in tears! HAHAHA you should have seen my face! It was pitiful! But in hide sight, I was feeling like I was dying for real: I couldn't talk without coughing, I couldn't breathe, my chest hurt, my butt hurt from coughing so damn much! But I'm glad I can look at it and laugh now.

What I did on Tuesday deserves its own entry. But before I do that I have to tell you about my new phone! Oh boy! I have a Blackberry Bold now. I am lost! I don't know what I'm doing! I'm used to my Treo touch screen. So everytime I'm looking for something I touch my screen and nothing moves! UGHHHHH! I HATEEEE the track ball! My right thumb is already hurting! OY VEY! I need to get this thing sorted out ASAP! I can't live like this!

I'm tired of not working!

If you're on my facebook, you'll know that I've been off work for the past 3 months. I've gotten sick with Laryngitis then Bronchitis with asthma like symptoms. Everytime I'd go back to work, I can't stop coughing. It became quite clear it was an allergic reaction. Now, I'm still awaiting some tests. Tomorrow will be my second respiratory test where I would be provoked to see if I'm asthmatic or not. I'm not looking forward to that!

At first it was okay, I was resting - in between coughs - which was well needed. Now that my pay is not what it used to be and I'm working more at home than before, it ain't fun no more! I want to go back! I'm broke! I hate being broke! Well, I'm not broke "broke" but that's the money I used to roll with. I am starting to get tired of editing videos and dealing with photos!

As much as I love it, my boyfriend doesn't make it fun! Oh boy! He's a slave driver sometimes! He thinks in two days I can finish a wedding with over 4 hour of film! Ohh, he wants me to reduce that to 2 hours max! You don't ask a woman to do that! I get attached to beautiful moments! After editing together for 2 hours, I finally snapped at him. He went out for some KFC and we were back on track!

I guess you can say KFC makes the world goes 'round! KFC, make up food! LOL I must say, I am happy with the two and a half hour we finally settled on. Next project please! OH NO!
