Diagnosis

Well, it isn't arthritis. It IS fibromyalgia. My bloods came back normal. My bone density is solid. No degeneration at the spine or vertebrae. It's the soft tissue causing me problems. Reminds me of a funny email I received years ago about how I should be seeing a doctor for all my "ailments." Like I'm making it up for sympathy or something. HA! Back to my NSaids and nerve pills. Good to know.

In sad news, Bobby Short is dead (he was 80), CBGB's is about to go under (after a rent dispute AND Hilly Kristal being in the R&R Hall of Fame), and I did NOT win $1000 in the Daily News scratch-off game. In fact, no one won anything.

Someone called last night with a cryptic question, "Do you believe in curses?" Where the hell that came from, I dunno. I told her I believed negativity begets negativity. She then proceeded to whisper so those she lives with wouldn't hear her. Turns out the publisher of the game IN NEBRASKA screwed up by putting out the wrong numbers. It wasn't 13, it was 12. That means I'm out 1 Grand, Marie is not the jackpot winner, and for the first day of spring? It's really crappy outside.

I also didn't do laundry last night, I went out for a Cobb salad. Which I shouldn't have. Because I thought I won $1,000. Hey, I coulda been like that dumb woman in Queens who booked a cruise for her family on her credit card. Stupid! Me paying $10 is not the same as going flat broke BEFORE I got the money. I can eat $10 and the Cobb salad, but as they say, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH.

(or a good scratch off.)
