Long Weekend and The Break Up

Posted on November 25, 2006 by Meleah

I have been able to relax, sleep and even eat a few things over this long weekend. I have been formally introduced to WHOLE FOODS and organic only things. With some limited energy and a low dose of nutrients in me, today will be well spent WRITING!!

REVISED:
I did NOTHING on Saturday, except watch THIS MOVIE, three times. I want my own private bag of lemons, or, a crew of Polacks with no futures “to make shit real uncomfortable around here”… just see the movie and that joke will be funny to you too…

Well…I suck at making movies (for now) but, THIS IS THE FIRST ONE I EVER MADE… MANY apologies for the REALLY bad editing…Since I have no I dea “how to” edit…(yet) also, there is one “scene” when the movie was still running and I didn’t know…I ment to cut the clip but it kept recording…so,there will be BLACK screen with commentary ONLY…(there is very poor sound quality, especailly during the blacked out scene) but I do say, “I will keep this family togther even if I have to do it over the internet.” The black screen is up for a few moments, but then the movie returns…anyway this movie is for MY FAMILY (especailly my MOM and DAD who are AWAY in FLA and CANT SEE US today… well, now you guys CAN see US. I LOVE YOU!!!PS: clearly I am not dressed / made up for a video apperance, but… who cares…

where I spent my four day weekend

Posted on November 22, 2006 by Meleah

There was a MOVIE HERE but that was LOST in the BLOG MOVE

This is my best friends basement (well its her live in boyfriends house / basement…and a once very scary place to be) anyway….my best friend remodeled the whole room including purchase of bed, bedding, tables, lamps, TV, sofas, blankets ect……this was all for me to have a place to GET AWAY to for my four day weekend, so I can rest, feel at home, and most importantly WRITE (uninterupted), without chores, cooking, or other obligations to impeed the creative process.

Made it to work, whew…then, I went to GI doctor to…

Posted on November 22, 2006 by Meleah

Made it to work, whew…then, I went to GI doctor today to explain the following:

1. Friday I had to leave work because of an allergic reaction to something in the chocolate candy basket
2. Sunday I ate an organic gluten free rice based cereal which left me incapacitated for 5 hours, causing the sever pain that was only relieved by ingesting 8 Librax pills, I couldn’t even play or spend time with my son.
3. Monday I was up all night 2am – 7am sick in the bathroom as can be, causing the inevitable calling out, and loss of work and a full days pay on Tuesday

Then, I asked, no I begged, for much needed HELP… change in medication? Anything! I can’t eat, I can’t do my job, I can’t even take care of my child when I feel like that. This is NO WAY to live.

So, I am scheduled for another series of internal tests December 22nd 10 am, and new medications have been prescribed. I will start a new medication regimen this evening.

Fingers crossed this better help.

Thank god I have a 4 day weekend to adjust to the new meds, and or any side effects they may cause. The first week of new medication is always the hardest. Sigh…. Cry….

On a positive note, I have the MADONNA CONFESSIONS TOUR 8pm NBC to watch tonight. I saw that very concert in NYC this summer (Amazing). When Madonna first came on stage I had tears streaming down my face (I was so overwhelmed by the energy and her sheer presence) My favorite song / part of the concert was the song “MUSIC” and the costumes….white 70’s suits / disco theme. (see you tube video below)

NBC had decided to delete the “Live to Tell” swavarski crystal cross crown of thorns scene… but… YOU TUBE had that too! (see below!)

I love Madonna … I better look half as good at her age. I better have that energy, and creativity dripping out of me when I am 48.

THIS IS MY NEW THEME SONG….. AND THIS IS A DEDICATION TO “SOMEONE WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS”…

You can call me a sinner
You can call me a saint
Celebrate me for who I am
Dislike me for what I ain’t

Put me up on a pedestal
Or drag me down in the dirt
Sticks and stones will break my bones
But your names will never hurt

I’ll be the garden
You be the snake
All of my fruit is yours to take
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow
Because

This is who I am
You can
Like it or not
You can
Love me or leave me
Cus I’m never gonna stop
No no

Cleopatra had her way
Matahari too
Whether they were good or bad
Is strictly up to you

Life is a paradox and it doesn’t make much sense
Can’t have the Femme without the Fatale
Please don’t take offense

Don’t let the fruit rot under the vine
Fill up your cup and let’s drink the wine
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow
Because

This is who I am
You can
Like it or not
You can
Love me or leave me
Cus I’m never gonna stop
No no

I’ll be garden
You’ll be the snake
All of my fruit are yours to take
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow
Because

This is who I am
You can
Like it or not
You can
Love me or leave me
Cus I’m never gonna stop
No no

Law and Order

Posted on November 21, 2006 by Meleah

I always think I saw them all, but every once in a while I will see one (an old one) I missed. In any event, Lenny Briscoe, (Jerry Orbach) was in an episode I just saw for the first time… Drama drama drama, point is…There was one line he delivered as only HE can, when he (Lenny/Jerry) said to his boss (to refer to an inmate) “I PLAN ON DOING THIS JOB FROM MY WHEELCHAIR”…. Funny, I think he did work Law and Order until he died. Sigh…I love that show. I have TWO “new” episodes TONIGHT…!!

and ……

I have the best show EVER … HOUSE

Maybe Tuesday is even better than Monday! At least for T.V.!!

I am such a loser! When good TV makes for a good night you know my life is lacking in so very many areas!!!

*In personal news, I was sick all night last night 2am – 7am, I missed a day of work, and full day of PAY. I always feel soo GUILITY when I have to call out of work. Thankfully, I am seeing my GI doctor tomorrow at 2pm. I need a serious medication re-evaluation, THIS is not working.*

Mondays are always soooooo fast.

Posted on November 20, 2006 by Meleah

Mondays are always soooooo fast. Most people hate Mondays, but I am not most people, I suppose that’s why I like Mondays. Monday is the one day I am full of energy, dedicated without distraction to fulfill any and all tasks. Mondays are also the only day during the week I have any energy / desire to do “chores” like food shopping, cooking, or finishing up laundry, after I come home from the 9-5 life.

Maybe I just feel so good today because chapter three and four are finished! (There maybe some lingering grammatical errors here and there, but that’s what editors are for) I am always in better spirits after having written something of value to me.

Maybe I feel so good because I know it’s a short week with a long weekend so I will have all the time I need to attend to all the things I want and/or have to do. In any case, I am happy. Content. I am allowing myself to treat myself to a little reward right after this post.

Happy MONDAY. I don’t care what anyone says, Mondays are GREAT. (for ME, and isn’t this always about me!)

I never thought I’d hear THIS

Posted on November 19, 2006 by Meleah

I never thought I’d hear THIS from a “certain individual”

(A certain individual whom I hold in such high regard, a certain individual who has enriched my life, certain individual I love, adore, admire and respect the hell out of)

Admittedly, HE is JEALOUS of MY WRITING…huh? what?

Can you please speak into my GOOD ear? I don’t think I heard you correctly.

Maybe it was said at an ungodly hour and I have no business taking it seriously. However, it was said, and I do intend to torture this individual with reminders of said conversation that took place close to 1am last night.

That conversation / admission, was my sole and full inspiration to write today. I have solid ground for chapter three, some words need re-working, some re-structuring and beefing up need to be done, but a really good start, despite of the pain I was in for five consecutive hours.

At least I have a SHORT week, and a LONG weekend to look forward too!
