Hey everybody, it's currently 2:18am on my swatch watch, can't sleep. Sometimes I just wake up at this hour and can't get back to sleep. It's the perfect excuse to abuse my pain medication, because hey, I can't exactly take a sleeping pill right now or I won't be going to work in the morning. A good 'ol oxycodone kicks in in about 30 minutes, lasts about an hour and a half, I wake up refreshed :)
They tried to make me go to rehab, but I said "No, no, no..."
Thanks to everyone who made it out to my birthday party on Saturday, the evening was a huge smashing success. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the planning and the finances and the organization, I could definitely not have pulled off something so special without the help of all those people who love me.
One theme that comes up a lot in my psychologist sessions is my inability to ask for help, then my inability to accept help. This party was proof positive that asking for and receiving help makes things so very much more fun and easy, just the way life is supposed to be.
In other birthday related news, I made out pretty well financially in all the cards and stuff (once again, thanks to everyone for their contributions, VERY needed), all of that is going to go into motorcycle maintenance fees and repairs. Lynnwood Harley (where I take my bike) has a VIP service you can buy for $2000 that covers all maintenance costs for two years. At about an average of $500 per tune-up, and considering how many miles I put on (30,000 in just 18 months) and the tune-ups are every 5000 miles, I might try and buy a package like that. My first thought was that I might not last long enough to make something like that worth it, but the more I think about it, the more I think I will at least get $2000 worth of maintenance done before...well, you know. Then, when I take my bike in for a tune up, I'll only have to be concerned with repairs, like breaks and belts and stuff the factory warranty doesn't cover. I made enough in birthday contributions to cover about half of the VIP service package, I'm thinking about trying to get creative about the other half to make this work. I might go into a little debt for it, but I think it might be worth it in the long run.
Anyway, just a few thoughts, sorry this is so long. Its 2:32 now, no oxycodone feeling yet...
