Morning Campers.
Haven't made an entry in a couple of days. Lots going on. Yesterday I went with Jen to take her 2 year old to the Dr's. She has Pneumonia..bless her little heart..she was just pitiful. they gave her 2 Rocephin shots..one in each thigh..those suckers hurt too..we have to take her back to day for 2 more...
Yesterday afternoon I was sitting here at the computer trying to catch up when I heard this really loud vibrating sound..like a Mobile phone on vibrate in a bucket times 1000.. I was like WTF? I ran around the house trying to see where it was coming from when I realized it was coming from my pipes..I ran outside and turned off the main water valve... the noise stops .. so I call a plumber...of course when he gets here I turn the valve back on and the vibrating has stopped. He tells me this is called "hammering" and is because my pipes are old and made of metal...and he can completely replace them with PVC pipes for $4500....WTF?? okay I understand the pipes are old...but not that bloody old..this house was built in the mid seventies...I have lived in houses way older than this... so anyway...he left and I have another plumber coming out this morning to give me his opinion.. I know we have build up in the pipes..our water drains so slow..but can I not just have the pipes cleaned out?? Do I really have to have them replaced?? I hate being a woman sometimes..I never know if I am being ripped off or not....I don't want to ever hear that sound again though... it scared the living shit out of me.. I didn't realize till later that I was shaking...my heart was beating so fast... it's been a long time since I felt scared like that.. takes a lot to shake me up...but the noise was so loud...like a pneumatic drill right in the house....
Okay Plumber vent over....
PMS vent next...LOL... Ste, Phil, Gaz , Hadon feel free to skim over this paragraph.... ;-)
My periods are messed up... I miss about 3 in a row and then have them all at once!!! I have been PMS'ng for ..oh about 2 weeks now...lovely...well finally yesterday my "fire in the front room" as my gran used to call it ..showed up... I feel like I dropped 20lbs overnight.. I was so flipping bloated..I feel somewhat human again this morning..although I know I will be bleeding like a stuffed pig later and will probably be afraid to leave the house...I know this is perimenopause... I just want it over with.. I am a raging hormonal cow most of the time.. I cry all the flipping time...commercials..sad movies..hell they don't even have to be sad...I have shut myself off from most of my friends..can't be bothered to do anything most of the time... this is not me... I am not depressed..have been there and done that so I know the difference..I just feel crappy....I guess I am going to have to bite the bullet and go to the Dr.... I hate going to the Dr....yes I work in a Dr's office but I am the worst patient.....my biggest fear is I am turning in to my Mother.. she was a BITCH...this is not news ..I have told you this before.. I don't want to be like that...she was awful to be around and I think I am too which is why I am isolating myself when I feel like this.... so anyways... I am going to do something about it.. I used to be hormonal one week a month now it's more like 3 out of 4... I can't live like this...and one thing I know for sure.. hubby doesn't deserve to come home to it! ... LOL..
PMS vent over....back to my regularly scheduled posting... ;-)
I got a new keyboard...my other one kept sticking... this one feels great... it's the little things folks....sorry I haven't been around much... the above probably explains why....but I am back...I don't have any major plans this weekend...will be with Jen today... kinda feel bad that we can't do our usual Friday girls day out thing..but her little one needs her today..hate when they are sick....well I guess I had better go get showered in case the plumber guy shows up on time....hope you all have a great TGIF!!

Most definitely GET THEE TO A DOCTOR!!! You do not have to live like this hunny! They have ways to help you with this stuff now my friend! I have several friends who waited so long to check in with the doctor and now kick themselves for not doing it sooner! They feel so much better since! MWAH!
Lyn hope you can get those pipes just cleaned out ~ it would cost you a fortune to have them replaced ~ let's know what the next plumber says ~ Hope Jen's little girl will be OK will be thinking about her ~ Ally
I went through the pre-menopausal stage about six years ago. It was a nightmare for a few months. I went to the doctor because I'd been bleeding for weeks, she said I'll give you something to help your blood clot. What! ....I was passing clots the size of tennis balls!!! I hardly need any help in that department.
Anyway, after a month or two, they settled down and just started tailing off, I haven't had one for about a year now and no hot flushes either.
Thankfully I've now stopped crying at adverts on the telly too! lol.
I am now back from my travels and was merrily reading your blog and then YEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, OMG, I didn't know whether to PMP at your your mention of PMS and then read the comments and am now totaly confused. They were crossed between PMS and sending over a plumber, what ever next? You need a plumber for your periods? YEWWWWWWW lolololololol, anyway back to your blog! xx
I wouldn't replace the pipes unless they start breaking. I feel for you with the menapause thing. I'm going thru the same darn stuff. Have a good weekend.

(smiles) yep, reading it loud and clear. sorry i haven't been around in a while. so much going on with school!
I dont think i'd like those rocephin shots, they dont sound nice at all. but i dont think pneumonia is something you want to take a risk with.
i'm sorry to hear about your pipes, hopefully they'll be some better news from the other plummer. my eyes popped out my head when i heard the price the first one suggested!
dont even mention that fire in the front room, i'm not going through "the change" least i hope not at my age. but its all over the place, driving me crazy. its difficult to get a grip on when its coming next, but i dont wanna go back to taking the pill just yet because i'm not getting any and dont think i will be for a long time to come!
