Today's auction was stressful as promised. There were about 14 bidders that showed up for this one. I was clerking on the fly and doing check in / check out. Not an easy task. If someone comes in or leaves the whole auction needs to stop so that I can switch screens and get them checked in or out. Clerking on the fly...when something comes up across the block to sell, I have to put in the lot number, consignor number, description, hammer price and bidder number. It must be done in that order or the whole program gets confused and won't let me sell an item. Getting the ringers and auctioneer to acknowledge the fact that I'm needing the information in THAT order is difficult at best. Getting them to acknowledge the fact that they need to stop selling things while I get someone checked in or out is even more difficult. So, at one point, I was 3 lots behind due to them continuing to sell while I was checking people out. For some reason,the clerking desk is also the information central. I don't care if it's the person's first auction, or if they're seasoned veterans to auctions they always, without fail, feel the need to ask me all sorts of questions. Really we should have had 2 people with 2 computers doing the jobs I was doing....but... no such luck this time. It worked out in the end. I was able to catch their attention and stop the auction for a few minutes while I proved my inability to be super woman and showed the entire crowd my unprofessionalisim in order to catch up. That should bring them back! I guess I should just chalk it up to something else I can't do right.
The IBS was acting up today. Still is. My stomach hurts really bad. I've got some serious pain going on in the right side. No, it's not the appendix. I'm pretty sure of that. I don't understand how I have anything left in me. This will make for an interesting night. Nausea and diarrhea. (Side note...this blog took longer than it should have due to trips to the restroom. Frequency is a problem!)
The HS? Oh. Now that's pain! I've got new bumpies in the axle and groin. One of the ones down stairs is draining. This one burns and hurts. I've been lucky up to this point where it's only been the right axle that's been affected. I kinda feel one trying to creep up on the left side now. How do you explain to someone that has no idea how bad this hurts? I don't think anyone really gets it. They've had painful cysts before, so they think they understand. HS is more than just cysts. It hurts down deep. The sinus tracts, tunneling, and scar tissue make each and every small little pimple sized cyst feel like it's been multiplied times a thousand.
I'm going to stop here. This is the part that gets way too personal, and I just don't feel comfortable sharing the rest of the HS story.
I guess I just suck at communicating with people. That's just who I am. Yep...another thing I can't do right.

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!
I was feeling pretty good earlier when I posted. Now...not so much. The IBS decided to start acting up when we went to pick up Reagan from school, so we just went in and pulled him 10 minutes early. Poor kid. He was disappointed when he had to leave before clean up. He "needs to help". What a sweet boy!
My tummy has been rumbley since. Usually this means that a new bumpie is just around the corner. I took a probiotic, and am praying for it to settle down before the auction tomorrow. I can't be up and running during the auction. If I have to leave the room the entire auction stops until I get back. Not cool. So, of course, I'm stressing about it. UGH! I really need to find something to reduce stress.
Ryan and Reagan may need ear plugs tonight. My tummy rumblies are really loud tonight. I seriously don't like being me right now.
That's all I have for now.

I think I may be on to something!
Ok, so this post is going to be a bit TMI for some readers. You've been warned.
Are you still reading? Haha...ok....your choice!
I had that new bumpie that popped up in a place that I didn't want to discuss. Remember the post before when I was wishing for a donut pillow? Ok. Well, if you weren't using your imagination and your still stumped it's about to become painfully clear for you. You may want to skip this part.
This place I care not to discuss is not visible by me, I'm no contortionist. So, the optimist in me decided that maybe it's a hemorrhoid instead. Not many people can say they're being optimistic and maybe it's a hemorrhoid in the same sentence and be for real about it! So I went and got some ointment. Then I got creative. I decided that since I don't know if this is a bumpie or the big "H" word, I might should do a little experimentation. Yes, I really did. I put a small amount of the ointment on other bumpies I have going on. Hey, women put it under their eyes to reduce puffiness and bags. I'm not putting in on my face. Well, I may be on to something! While it has not completely gotten rid of the bumpies, it does seem that they have reduced some. I will continue using this to see if maybe it will help. Now, if I could find something to help with the pain...
OK! It's over you can look now. No really, call the kids back into the room. I'm done with the gross part!
I'm a bit concerned about my stress level. Tomorrow we have an auction that we can't set up until morning. We have access to the building beginning at 8am, preview begins at 1 and the auction begins at 2. That means we have 5 hours to bring everything in, set up the tables, get everything lotted and entered and set up chairs. Now I know I'm good but I have a few problems with this. I HATE mornings. Yeah, that's the biggest problem I have with it. I just don't do mornings. I'm also stressing about the time crunch. It takes a bit longer than that usually. I can clerk on the fly, which is what I'll probably end up doing, it's just going to make the auction go a little slower than it should since I'll have to look on my list to get the consignor's customer number.
I started reading a new to me book today. It's the Women's Devotional Bible that I picked up at a garage sale recently. It's a surprisingly easy read the devotion that I read today was awesome! I did something today that I haven't done in YEARS! I started the day with God. Prayer and reading. I'm amazed at how much better I feel today.
That's all I have today. May write more tonight...

What the what?!?
Maybe it's the full moon out tonight. Maybe it's the fact that there is NO breeze and it's hot in my room tonight. Maybe it's the pain from the ugly monstrous bumpie that decided to show up in the most inconvenient and irritating of places. I don't know, but I can't sleep.
I have to be thankful...the bumpie feels like it has shrunk some. I can't see it, but I can sure feel it!
Stress. Ah yes. One of the main contributors to this mess. There's some happening in my world. Without going into specifics, I'm worried about a few things. Not little things, these are big major stress inducing problems. I'm sure God will see us through. I'm trying really hard not to question Him on it.
My ex showed up at my front door tonight. Drunk. Apparently he and his girlfriend split up....again.... The boys are about fed up with that whole situation, yet they want their daddy to be happy. I just wish they would talk to him about it. He's not much of a talker tho...he's more of the fun guy. Kinda adds to the stress factor a little. Because of how much my kids hurt on his behalf. I'm a mom...when my kids hurt I hurt!
I got an email today that mentions Jr Prom for Blake. It's quickly approaching. I'm not ready for this. Everything just seems to be happening all at once. Blake is growing up way too fast. My little boy. It doesn't seem like it's been that long ago when I was about to take him to school in 1st grade. He said "Mom, if you want a kiss and hug you have to do it now because you can't in front of the school" (this was just before we walked out the door of the house). and now I'm helping him pick out his class ring, getting emails about Jr Prom, having to admit that he's 1/6 of the way through his 2nd to last year of high school, helping him look at colleges, looking for SAT prep books / study guides. I'm going to cry! I'm going to absolutely break down. This is just happening too fast! I remember how scared I was when I found out that I was pregnant with him. How terrified I was the day I gave birth, and how all of those feelings were replaced by a love I never knew existed when I saw that tiny face, and held that beautiful little boy in my arms for the first time.
I know it seems that I've gotten off subject here, but I haven't. See, to me stress isn't just about things going on around that are bad. Am I stressed about my baby like I just described? Yes. Is it a bad stress? Depends on how you look at it. I think stress (good or bad) releases hormones that obviously by body doesn't know what to do with. So, hey...why not make a bumpie out of it! Yeah! UGH!
Maybe my mind is running in too many different directions and that's why I can't sleep. Hmmm....

There? Really??
Yesterday was too good of a day. Must have been the calm before the storm. Woke up this morning to a seriously painful storm! Really wishing for a donut pillow today. There was no comfortable position before, or at least I thought. Now, ummmm....Nope. Laying down hurts. Sitting hurts. Standing hurts. Moving? Oh please don't make me! But I have to. When Reagan goes to school tomorrow I have so many chores to do it's ridiculous! Can't be avoided. I'm most likely not going to be very nice tomorrow, so if you cross my path you've been warned. It's already happening tonight if I'm honest.
Feeling a bit lonely. Weird since I'm surrounded by the people I love most. Reagan is sleeping right beside me as I type this. Snuggled up next to me. I hate this feeling. I'm trying really hard to cover the sadness that I'm feeling but it's not really working. I really hope the kids haven't noticed. It's hard to get away to cry, but that's all I want to do right now.
Seems as tho nothing I do or say is right recently. I wish people could understand. I wish I knew how to explain it to people who have no idea. I don't want to feel this way! I don't want the physical or emotional pain. Everyone in my life seems to be on me about what I've done wrong, or what I am doing wrong. I'm just tired of that. I try to avoid these people when possible because I'm afraid I'll snap.
Ok, that's all for my rant tonight. I'm sure someone will complain about this too. Oh well. It's how I'm feeling. Deal with it or don't read my blog anymore!
Love,
Me

Pretty great day today!
Woke up this morning feeling good. There's only one bumpie left under the right arm, and it's shrunk in size. You know the little colored balls on the end of a straight pin, well it's down from a pea to that. So not too much smaller, but still smaller. The other ones just went away. Didn't have to deal with draining or anything. Thank you Jesus! The bumpies in the lower area are gone. They did leave some scaring and sinus tracts. That's a bid depressing, and a little painful - not as painful as the bumpies that they took the place of. At this point, the only thing I can conclude is caffeine must play a part in this. So what I know so far...hormones, stress are absolutely triggers. The caffeine-free experiment began as I was having those monthly hormonal surges and drops so this week I will test it and start to consume caffeine again. If I see a return, I will know. After that, I'll probably start limiting rather than omitting caffeine from my day. I'm kind of a bitch without some caffeine. I had 2 glasses of tea today. One regular and one unleaded. I'll tell ya, I was a whole new me after that regular tea.
If you're also on my facebook list then you've probably already heard this part...I got a bit spooked today when I came face to face with a scorpion. (shudder!!) We took some items to donate at Goodwill. Saw an old friend, Adolf, who was working there. We unloaded a desk and Adolf says "Nice scorpion" and points at the desk. Ryan starts poking it and the damn thing came to life. I of course jumped three miles back, ran to the truck and grabbed something to smash the thing with...it disappeared. My heart was racing and I was FREAKED OUT! Ryan found it again and started playing with it. I pulled off my shoe ready to smash it but it fell on Ryan's finger. I jumped and screamed like a girl. I am seriously deathly afraid of spiders...especially scorpions (and tarantulas). So...my dear Adolf did what any good friend would do...posted a picture of a scorpion on my facebook wall. I'm not even kidding, looking at the picture freaked me out. LOL. I didn't used to be this much of a girly girl. I'm not sure when this happened. Haha. Here is the picture that he posted. While it is a cool looking picture, it's freaky! Maybe it was payback for the gift I gave him 20 years ago...Thanks Dolfo. haha!

So, yeah....pretty great day today. I did think of another friend of mine when this was all going on. Lori makes these really cool necklaces with the "Free Range Scorpions" she comes across. They are pretty cool...I have to admit it - I just could never have one in my house. I'd be afraid that some how some way the thing may have lived through the process and may get out of his casing and attack me. Yes, I'm a bit paranoid. LOL.That being said, if the necklaces are your cup o' tea I'll post a link to her facebook fan page so that you can go like her and get ordering info. So here's a pic and a link for ya:
And her facebook page: DonkStar Designs Go check her out. She makes all kinds of jewelry with these creepy things. LOL. They're fascinatingly spooky.
I am still feeling a little "down" today. Maybe that's something that will pass in time. I'm thinking that the blues, or depression or whatever it is that's got me down is directly related to the HS. Makes since since it is hormone related. I wish there was a way for them to test and discover which hormone it is. Then maybe they could start an HRT to counteract / treat this mess.

Nope, not feelin it tonight.
Well....
So I had another bumpie start to drain today. Lucky for me it was a small one so not so bad. The ones under the arm are still there and unchanged. I'm so glad they haven't grown.
Maybe I'll try this again tomorrow. I have so much I want to write about but it's just not coming out tonight. I guess I have other things on my mind. Stressed quite a bit. Stress aggravates HS, that much I already know. It's been proven in my world. I should blog about the stresses in my life, to attempt to reduce the stress level and help keep the bumpies at bay. Maybe I'll start a new blog for that. If I can find a way to password protect it.
That's all I got for tonight. The end.

Not a good way to start the day
We have a football game tonight for Blake. It's been a while since we've gotten to see him play as all of his games have been away. Like really really away. I'm really excited to see him play but woke up this morning with issues. Under arm is hurting pretty bad. The bumpies that are there haven't changed in size at all. 1 pin size, 1 pea size, and 1 cluster of 3 pea sized. They're not very big but they feel monstrous! As if that's not enough, the IBS is acting up. I'm having to stay pretty close to the restroom, and my tummy is so NOT happy with me.
Last night we had a taco casserole for dinner. Taco meat, rice, Doritos and cheddar with a salad on the side. I guess it's possible that was a bad idea for me. I also had a pretty stressful conversation on the phone yesterday, so that probably didn't help either. I'm ready for things to settle down and move on over to some resemblance of normalcy. Is that asking too much!?
With any amount of luck I can take something today that will help settle the stomach so that I can go watch this game tonight.

Good day!
I'm so excited...I've had a good day today. One of my stubborn bumpies drained overnight last night. Woke me up with pain, but today was worth it. One down, three to go. I don't think anything that I've done so far has attributed to the draining. It's really too soon for that, and I haven't been able to put anything on this one due to it's location. While I'm not anywhere near feeling great, I do feel good! It's almost like a since of accomplishment, even tho I've done nothing. LOL
I'm doing everything in my power to bring my stress level down. I'm looking for ways to do this, so if anyone is reading this and has stress relieving ideas - please let me know what they are!
Had a new bumpie show up under my right arm today. At this point it's about pea sized. Since I started this blog before this bumpie reared it's ugly face, I can monitor it from it's beginning. The other two under the arm are still the same size, and the two others are a bit further south, right where the leg meets the body. The one on the left is pea sized, and has been for a while. The one on the right is marble sized; also has been for a while. I wish I would have documented their arrival. The one under my arm is pretty painful, and has limited my ROM again. Between the bumpie and the scar tissue already there, I can't lift my arm higher than shoulder height without a sharp shooting pain. I physically can't raise my arm completely above my head. It just doesn't move that far anymore.
Back to the new one. I'm planning to try straight Tea Tree Oil tonight. I've done the tea tree oil bath soak, which, if nothing else, helps with the pain if for only a few minutes. Since it's hard to get my armpit under water in the tub, this will be the perfect time to try it undiluted. I'm a bit worried about doing that since I have a perminate open area right near it. It's kinda weird, this perminate opening. It's only about pin size and it doesn't have any drainage at all. Just a pin sized hole under my arm. Kinda sucks. LOL
So, that's all I've got for today. Good day over all. Yay!

This one may include TMI for some!
I'll go ahead and apologize in advance. This post may include a bit TMI for many of y'all. I'm sorry. I really just need to keep full record / track of everthing that goes on with this. If you're even the least bit squeemish, please stop reading here.
I started to post last night but was just too tired. We did the big family garage sale Friday and today, and plan on doing it again tomorrow. Friday was pretty tough. The heat was horrible, I got a slight sun burn, and to top it off my monthly problem arrived. UGH! I had a few bumpies that popped up a few days ago. So I'm thinking that these were more than likely brought on by pre-menstural hormones. I had 2 in my right axila, one about the size of a pin head, and one was about the size of 3 peas bundled together. Then I had 2 on the groin, one on each side. I went to bed around 10ish last night. Sore, hurting, not feeling well at all. I didn't feel sick, just didn't feel good. A general not feeling good. I guess it was a combo of the sunburn, the exhaustion and the bumpies. They seriously make me feel horrible.
I woke up at about 11:30 with Reagan who was having leg cramps again. Poor kid was hurting, trying to kick the pain out of his legs. During this, he accidentally kicked me in a bumpie. It took all I had in me not to scream and cry along with him. That was painful. The bumpies are always uncomfortable at best, but more often just sheer painful. When they are touched it sends serious pain shooting through me, never mind being kicked at full force by a four year-old with some monstrous leg muscles! We finally got him back to sleep, and I was finally able to return to dream land through the torture. It's not possible to find a comfortable sleeping (setting or standing) position, but I did go to sleep. Woke back up again at 1:30 feeling nauseated. Went to wash my face, hoping it would help with the nausea. Ended up vomiting several times before I was finally able to make it back to bed. I also found a new bumpie during my 1:30 trip to the bathroom. This one is more on the inside of my upper thigh, right up on my buttock area. It's incredibly painful! Now, I mentioned earlier that my monthly problem arrived...yeah this means friction up against 3 of those bumpies.
So today we did the garage sale again, like I said before. Up on the feet, pain with every step, every bit of weight as I stood, every time I sat down. This hurts. I don't know what else to say. Nothing else really that I can say about it. That's what's on my mind. We're doing the garage sale again tomorrow, then it's clean up time. Y'all probably don't get just how big this garage sale is! It's a 3 day minimum set up if that gives you any idea. I took some Midol for the pain. Once I swear that it caused one of the bumpies to open up and start draining. Maybe it was coincidence but maybe it's truly something to help. I don't know. I guess I'll find out if any of these start to drain during this round of Midol. I guess it could be friction causing it to open.
I'm going to attempt sleep again. It's after 11pm now, and I'm tired. Here's to praying for a restful night. Although I won't hold my breath.
I started to post last night but was just too tired. We did the big family garage sale Friday and today, and plan on doing it again tomorrow. Friday was pretty tough. The heat was horrible, I got a slight sun burn, and to top it off my monthly problem arrived. UGH! I had a few bumpies that popped up a few days ago. So I'm thinking that these were more than likely brought on by pre-menstural hormones. I had 2 in my right axila, one about the size of a pin head, and one was about the size of 3 peas bundled together. Then I had 2 on the groin, one on each side. I went to bed around 10ish last night. Sore, hurting, not feeling well at all. I didn't feel sick, just didn't feel good. A general not feeling good. I guess it was a combo of the sunburn, the exhaustion and the bumpies. They seriously make me feel horrible.
I woke up at about 11:30 with Reagan who was having leg cramps again. Poor kid was hurting, trying to kick the pain out of his legs. During this, he accidentally kicked me in a bumpie. It took all I had in me not to scream and cry along with him. That was painful. The bumpies are always uncomfortable at best, but more often just sheer painful. When they are touched it sends serious pain shooting through me, never mind being kicked at full force by a four year-old with some monstrous leg muscles! We finally got him back to sleep, and I was finally able to return to dream land through the torture. It's not possible to find a comfortable sleeping (setting or standing) position, but I did go to sleep. Woke back up again at 1:30 feeling nauseated. Went to wash my face, hoping it would help with the nausea. Ended up vomiting several times before I was finally able to make it back to bed. I also found a new bumpie during my 1:30 trip to the bathroom. This one is more on the inside of my upper thigh, right up on my buttock area. It's incredibly painful!
