Recovering From An Injury and Other Stuff

A Commission I did.

     So I decided to help an old woman get a wood doll house out of the trash for a little girl that she claimed had no toys.   Later on that day I felt the intense pain of a pulled muscle.  I waited a day and went to the Urgent Care center, they gave me a shot and then sent me on my way with two prescriptions.  I had to quit taking both of them, because the muscle relaxant was making my pain worse and the Naproxen was making me lethargic.

     It took a day or so to come off the Naproxen, but it triggered a terrifying episode of sleep paralysis, that I never want to have again.   I saw this giant red gargoyle sitting on my abdomen and I couldn't do anything!  I could move my leg, but it seemed nothing was making me move.

     Sleep paralysis is when you wake up before your REM cycle has finished, i.e. your eyes open but your body is still asleep.   I.E. why they call it "sleep paralysis" and it's not pleasant at all.

     So when I discussed my injury with a friend of mine, they suggested that half the battle was a vitamin deficiency, and they were right.   I took one capsule of calcium and things changed almost immediately.  I am also taking this thing called "Joint Care" it's a giant black pill but it brings back mobility to my arm and as a result my muscles haven't been stressed out and can heal quicker.   I am also taking Potassium and Magnesium Citrate.

     I did start a crochet project before all this happened; however, the weakness in my left arm made it to difficult to do anything.  :(    I'll be fine though.   I have been working on coloring pages and just doing my nails and playing some Dota2.  I will add some pictures of what I have.

I am finding that I prefer colored pencils over markers because blending with a pencil is much easier than without.

This one is finished, but I didn't take a picture of the completed page.    I love coloring pages, because I get to be artistic and not have to  pull out all of these supplies!   It's simple and I can start, stop, and finish when I feel like it.

I was just looking through the old photos that I have posted on this website and I think I might share some for laughs.

When my son wasn't so mobile!

Now he's riding the bus to school! :(

Wake Me Up

I love this song and it speaks to me! :)

She Wolf... Falling to pieces!

OMG.  I love this song and the cover done by Kim Viera on YouTube!  Worth the watch.

Music on Wednesday

Better then Taylor Swift!  Yeah, and I like her, but this chick blows her out of the water.  I am finding that I prefer the sound of YouTube artist of mainstream.  Was thinking that may this is due to the professional editing and stuff.  I don't know.

Musical Ear Candy!!!

I love finding artist that I have never heard before today.  ThePianoGuy is an awesome YouTube channel!

Wow, it's Wednesday.... and I have something to share...

I just discovered this band by accident and I think I am in love....

Confession: I Love Korean T.V. Shows, Like "Jewel In The Palace"

One day I was looking through what was offered on Hulu and found this show and out of pure curiosity I decied to watch it.  To my luck it was subtitled!  These episodes can be up to 1hr and 20m long, which is long for a show, but it's not American, so it's expected.

I haven't quit watching this show since the first episode, I am hooked!  It actually has a great plot line, character development, conflict, conflict resoultion, and sometimes the good guy dosn't win!  It's about a girl who becomes a court lady in the kitchen of the King. 

Did I mention that I love stories that involve details?  This is one detailed story involving food, history, and fiction.

A good watch indeed.  Think I will go see what's happening to Jang-Geum now.

Confession: I like Katy Perry and Chad Vader + Knitting Update

Ok, I admit, I do like Katy Perry!   Not fond of her graphic songs, but the rest are great! :)  Honestly,  I don't have anything else to blog about, but I like watching videos lol... Yeah.

If you want to watch a funny web series, watch the series below.

I guess I should update you with a project or two.  I choose one!

 

Gasp! A KNITTED SCARF FOR MYSELF.

Knitted fingerless gloves. For myself.

Noah's Scarf, made w/leftovers from my scarf/glove set.

Children with Disabilities

This article really angers me!  What in their right mind makes them think that it is alright to stick vinegar soaked cotton balls in the mouths of children?  Why would they force children to ride treadmills even when they say they don't want to.

Oh my gosh, they wouldn't do this to non-handicapped children, and you know why?  Because this is nothing short of bullying!

Pathetic adults, bullying children who can't stand for themselves.  Jerks!

I don't understand why people do this?  These children are not freaks, pariahs, or any less valuable than children without disabilities!  They need more attention, but that is ok!

Do you realize that this is what you would do to people in the middle ages?  Yeah, and I thought we lived in the 20th century where people understood how to deal with people who have disabilities.

Sesame Street Spoofs Glee! FREAKING HILARIOUS.

Honestly, I do watch the television show Glee, was a skeptic of it at first, but then I got sucked into the awesomeness of the musicals.  Oh and Sue Sylvester is epic with her character.  I can't wait to see what the newest season brings as far as new characters and story arcs.

The season premier was interesting, Quinn turned goth/skank/punk - not sure with her.  Saw the girl on the right in the first episode and flipped out b/c she was cool!  Don't like how they protrayed her on the reality show; however, she's a great singer!

Samuel, Alex, Damian, Lindsay

The first guy (Samuel) and the one guy next to the girl (Damian - he's from Celtic Thunder) won the show with a prize of seven episodes!  Then they shocked everyone and gave the runner ups two episodes (Alex and Lindsay)!  And what do you know?  There were some contestants that also got some contracts from what I read on the internet.  One of them quit the reality show because it just wasn't "for him".   Mm, hmm.   Whatever.  

Samuel is awesome; however, Alex (the guy with the scarf) has such a wonderful range!  He can go from soprano to baratone (correct me if I am wrong).  He reminded me of Kurt on the show!  Can't wait to see how they fit all these people in.

Wow Wednesday!
