Memorial day weekend has been fairly boring for me. I live in an apartment so no BBQ. Tonight we’re having BBQ chicken wings though so that’s not too bad.
Yesterday I went to the ER to get some antibiotics for an infection that’s been festering for a couple of a weeks. It all comes down to a bad tooth that I haven’t taken care of mainly because it to expensive. $240 to see the surgeon to have it yanked out. The infection felt like it spread to my ear because that’s been bothering me and my neck glands have been pretty swollen and hurting something fierce. While I was at the ER I found out my blood pressure was pretty high. So high that they took 3 readings and made the doctor come back and talk to me before I was about to be released. 
High BP is strange for me because even if I’m all frazzled it only slightly elevates. That’s got me a little worried, so I have to find a cheap general practitioner and get a check up. I’m not fooling around with that as heart disease runs in both sides of my family and at my weight my heart certainly doesn’t need the extra strain.
What’s worrying more is the pain in my neck, I really hope it’s just an infection but ya never know. We’ll see if the antibiotics clear it up in a couple of days. I was trying to put off the DR visit until we got the car fixed and inspected on Wednesday but the pain got to bad. Thankfully the ER doc gave me a script for pain killers too.
While I was waiting for my scripts to get filled I says to mom we should get some food shopping done so we got that all done for the month. The closets were pretty bare so we wound up with two carts full of stuff at Wally World. Mostly dry goods and some other household stuff, paper goods, etc. Guess who got to lug most of it up the stairs? Yours truly. 
On a positive note, I finally have my bed off the floor! A friend of mom’s has been promising to build me a platform since I’m a kid but was always to busy. They delivered it this past Thursday. It’s the first comfortable night’s sleep I’ve had in quite a while. It’s pretty cool basically two boxes that come together to form the platform. Once I’m feeling better I’m going to sand it down and stain it to match my nightstands, them I’m gonna figure out how to mount my headboard to it and I’ll finally have a semi-normal looking bedroom. 
Today I spent the day organizing our kitchen cabinets. Since we don’t have a normal pantry cabinet space is at a premium. For some reason mom decided to shove a bunch of cups that we never use to the back of various shelves which wasted a bunch of space. I got all the cups out of there and wrapped them in a box we’ll probably give them to the Salvation Army or something as they’re going to waste here. My sister had about 10 boxes of tea bags hidden in various spots those got all combined into one box. Let over from one of her diets is about 5 boxes of instant oatmeal wasting space. I stacked them up to the ceiling. I’ll start having some in the morning to get rid of them.
I’ve had the AC going all day in my room. It’s been pretty humid here all weekend. Rosie da cat has been hanging out in my room most of the day cooling off. Here’s a pic of her all snuggled up in the blanket.
You can see the platform a little bit in the picture too. How was your Memorial Day weekend?
