Sjorgrens?

The other day I just happened by accident to come across this: Sjogren's Syndrome and it's possible it could explain my issues, esp. excessively dry nose( I always have to put coconut oil up there), dry eyes(I always have to use eye drops) dry mouth, gastro and liver issues, stomach issues, numbness and tingling in my legs, muscle pain,etc.(and it is an auto-immune disorder) and I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis which makes this more likely so it makes me wonder. There's obviously something causing all my medical issues but if it is this sadly there's no "cure" though, just maintaining easing the symptoms. The other day I also had a scare: my mother was napping and I heard a beep so I followed it and it was her glucose monitor alerting an alarm that her blood sugar was at a dangerously low level ( 3.5) only this time the beeping didn't wake her up like before so I had to wake her up before she slipped into a diabetic coma and I also gave her some sugar, orange juice and some of my Toblerone chocolate bar to quickly bring her glucose level up......and after all that the first thing she said to me was, Where did you get a Toblerone? 😂

I also saw this beautiful house( mansion, actually) and apparantly it's used on the show Stranger Things( which I've never seen but my mother, hubby,and the kids watch so they'd recognize it) and I was surprised to see the owners have it up for sale in Georgia for only 1.5 million$! That's so cheap, esp. considering just a small regular 3 bedroom house in Toronto costs over a million$ and that's with little or no front or back yard and you'd be lucky to get a driveway and not much property and look at this place! We're always getting over-priced for everything here!This is my dream home and it even has the French Provincial furniture I love,too! It's also good I've never been in a homeowner's association as well because you know that I'd be the one that wouldn't conform; I figure it's my house, my property, and my home; I paid for it and I'll paint it, decorate it ,and do my garden, etc. the way I see fit and I don't need anyone else's "permission!" I also woke up from my nap yesterday not knowing if it was still Tuesday or if it was Wednesday and I heard a radio ad too saying We treat you like family! There's NO WAY I'm going there!!

For the past few days I also have this weird sinus headache that also radiates down the back of my neck and makes me dizzy as well and even weed just takes the "edge" off and my mother actually referred to my joint as a "cigarette" too and I told her under NO circumstance do you ever refer marijuana as a "cigarette" ; a joint, a doobie, a spliff, a blunt, etc. but never a "cigarette", and I refuse to wear a poppy like the rest of the herd this month in a silent act of protest and defiance as I don't(and never will) support, encourage, or glorify the military and war. I am only for peace. I've always been counter-culture and never gone along with the crowd and I'm not about to start now.

I can still remember as well when I was 12 my favourite winter coat: it was a tan camel hair coat that went past my knees and it had a real raccoon trim hood and suede patches on the elbows and was lined with sherpa(and when I outgrew it how happy my younger cousin was to inherit it). My mother paid over 100$ for it at the time and I found out that 100$ back in 1979 would be equal to over 400$ in today's money, so I wonder how much the 1000$ TV we got in 1976 that had a heavy wood frame and sat on the floor would be worth in today's $$$$ or the 800$ microwave and VCR we got in 1984 or my 350$ Walkman I got in 1984? At the time I didn't think anything of it though because we used to have $$$$ then and I guess looking back we had more than I realized. Those were good times and what I miss the most about having $$$ was NOT having to worry about $$$$ and not having to stress and worry about how we're going to pay for things like we do now, like bills or repairs or unexpected expenses; the $$$$ was just there. I also figure since the kids hate me and think I'm such a "bad" mother maybe the best way I can show the kids love is by NOT being a part of their lives?
