Hotel Hell update!!

Tracy8 Comments

After my blog yesterday, the Fabulous Vicki Day tweeted it to @hiltononline. Well soon after, hiltononline tweeted me asking me to dm them. I did, and after a few dms they called me.

The explanation was, to say the least [the very least], comical! Really, all I heard was blah, blah, blah.

The gentleman who phoned was very business like and polite. I’m sure the typical PR guy. The reasoning behind the reservation person saying that I could reserve the room, but no guarantees, was due to… get this, here it comes… natural disasters! You know, floods, earthquakes, even fires. You see if they guarantee the room and this happens then issues can arise. Seriously… do I sound [or look like] I have STUPID written on my forehead? I mean really, if that happens the majority of people would understand. It was very hard for me to keep from lmao and saying something sarcastic.

Marriott had no problem guaranteeing my room.

I explained that I told the guy [reservationist] that if I got there and the room was gone, I would expect my money back so I could go elsewhere and was told, no, there is a 48 hours cancellation policy. PR guy said that if that happened they would definitely accommodate me and find me the proper room I needed. Now I’m confused, do they not train the reservationists? [maybe Paris trains them, oh wait she does nothing] If the RG [reservation guy] had explained the natural disaster problem [roflmao] I would have said okay! But, I know, from experience that the real issue is someone coming in before we get there, needing a roll in shower and them giving it to that person. How do I know this… because  this was done for me at the Hilton Garden Inn when my friend and I had a mom’s night away. [now I feel like shit for that] We said we would go elsewhere, but he said, no he could change the rooms. Anything for a buck!!

Like the Hilton's need more money... grrrrr

The PR guy also said he would give me their direct number, and in the future I can call them directly and they will get the manager to make sure I get the room reserved. Just train your fucking employees.

So there you have it! Again, all I heard was blah, blah, blah!

PEACE!!!!

Haters…

Tracy8 Comments

“Don’t try to win over haters. You’re not the Jackass Whisperer.”

Thanks to my friend Vicki for this amazing quote!

Once a jackass, pretty much always a jackass. I do believe that people can change… some people. But, not everyone can or will change.  There are just some people that thrive on being assholes. Come one, you know it’s true. And I’m sure we all know one or two or even three people like this. And please, no bleeding hearts here. You know the , ‘maybe they had a bad childhood, bad day, etc!’ No, maybe they are just assholes!! I will go with maybe they are genetically fucked up. That can happen. But, mostly back to, maybe they are just assholes!

So the next time you try and be a good person and be the “Jackass Whisperer”, STOP… really you are just wasting your time!

xx, Tracy...

Tweeze those brows!!

Tracy6 Comments

Yesterday my dd Shelby informed me that my brows needed a serious tweezing. I’ve been in a serious funk and guess I have let lots of things go. I do not look into the mirror too closely anymore. [hate seeing myself in a wheel-chariot] I laughed and said, “Bummer, I’ll get to it sooner or later”.

Seriously, but mine were worse. Even had a chin thing going. Was not pretty...

Well this am I woke up at 3:45 as my lil boy Dexter fell jumping on my chair to get on the bed. [refer to yesterdays blog re:chair height change] Once he got on the bed I got in my chair and went in the bathroom. I had already grabbed some tweezers and knew what was going to happen. lol I turned on my lighted makeup mirror and went to town. I had more freaking hair then Grizzly fucking Adams!! No joke, seriously!! I grabbed 5 to 10 hairs at a time and just pulled and pulled until no more hair was there. Then grabbed my lil razor and fixed the ‘stash [come on ladies ya know we get them too] Then put a cool toner on my face and lotion-ed up. And yes, I use a razor for the stash as creams and waxes leave a serious rash for a week or so. Get over it!! So, I go to the tinkletorium, do my business and head back to bed. I get all cozy and buzz buzz buzz… hubbies alarm goes off. I had been tweezing for over an hour!! 😛 This is so not going to happen again.

Hubby got up, did the shower thing and brought me coffee as there is no going back to sleep for awhile now. I can hear the kids getting moving as well.

I figure once kids go to school, I’ll head out to my design table, skype with my girl Tina for a bit, then if all goes as planned, come back in my room crawl into bed and watch Date Night. We’ll see how that goes… Once I get motivated and get to my table it is hard to stop and move on. lol

All in all, this is looking like a good MS day. Keeping hope alive!

This-n-That and Ampyra

Tracy8 Comments

Will start with the Ampyra saga.  I’ve been on it now for 3 months. Do I notice any improvement? I want to say, “YES YES I do”, but it’s not that simple. I do feel that transferring and rising up and down has seemed easier, sometimes. But, then I wonder, was it the same before the Ampyra? I’m sorry but most [99%] of the MS medications are for RRMS and not the progressive forms. They say this is for all types, but I do not buy it. You would think they would WANT to find something for the more serious forms as then the less serious form might be ‘cured’.

Well, it’s kind of a mute point now anyways as a clusterfuck occurred between the insurance and the neuro’s nurse and the neuro. Due to the type of drug this is they [ins] wanted to know the progress after 3 months before refilling my scrip. You would think that would be easy peasy… ummmm nope!! My neuro’s nurse [new] is one not the brightest stars in the sky when it comes to dealing with this. I think she mis-informed my doctor and he canceled the scrip.

can't anything be easy?

She told me to call back Friday night after she spoke with my doctor. Fuck that… she can wait until Monday and this time she better have the right answers. I’m still waiting for a referral from 2 weeks ago she has not done. I’m a pretty patient person [hence my bathroom] but DO NOT push me too far. You will not like it. So we shall see what happens tomorrow.

——————————–

I am finally back to doing my jewelry, MzTracyr Designs . I hope the good feelings last as they can go away as quickly as they come. It was really cool being at my design table creating again. It’s been like 3 or 4 months [maybe longer] since I have made anything. Drop on in and take a look if you can.

——————————–

Now on to a funny/not funny situation. My wheel-chariot does not seem to want to hold a charge. So, Roger took it apart and tested the batteries the cables and all are fine. I’m wondering if the controller’s wire is messed up since I do run into walls from time to time. lol I’ll be calling them tomorrow. Oh JOY! Now the funny, omg, duh moment… I’m 6′ tall and wheel-chariots are not made for tall people. This one seemed the best so we got it. Well, when Roger took it apart we found that we can raise the seat almost 6 inches! We were busting up laughing and how stoopid we are. I have had the chair since February 2009 and we had no clue. We are not big ‘manual’ readers. lol It is so cool to be higher. I was in heaven today. He raised it so the back is a tad lower than the front and it is amazing. So, now I got the best chair, and it may be having issues. This is so my life!!

Welcome to my world!!

 

xx, Tracy...

Click on our pic to go to the show!

We had a great time on the show today. One of our fabulous friends, Cristen aka crisastbury4, called in and we had a great chat! Shemar Moore was our ‘Hottie of the Week’. He is fine!!

Next week, we hope to have Shad Bradley on our show! [schedules willing] A little bit about Shad [borrowed from his FB bio]:

Shad’s “have drums will travel” attitude has earned him the nickname,”Shad Samsonite!” His Vegas – style stickwork adds a visual aspect that can’t be ignored! Among numerous television and radio appearances, he has appeared live and/or recorded with: Travis Tritt, Jefferson Thomas, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Reba McEntire, Derek St. Holmes (Ted Nugent), Jeff Cook (Alabama), Diane Michel, William Lee Golden (Oak Ridge Boys), Johnny Van Zant (Lynyrd Skynyrd), Mark Wills, Don Dokken, Jimmie Hall (Wet Willie), The Bama Band (Hank Williams Jr.), Derek Trucks (Allman Bros.), & M.C. Hammer! He has also been featured in Modern Drummer and Science of Mind Magazines.

To hear a bit more about Shad, click on our show pic above and listen to the shows archives.

———————-

We also talked today about the building of the Mosque near Ground Zero. And it gets a big “0” from Ruby and me. I get religious freedom and all, but this is wrong on so many levels. 😦

All in all, it was a great show. Again, click the show pic above to hear the archives of today’s show!

The Parental units…

Tracy5 Comments

My dad and sm Cheryl came down yesterday as a stop over before heading to my sister Kim’s lake resort, 20 Oaks Cottages . They brought their lil puppy, Reilly, and he and Dexter had a blast. [they always do]

Let's Dance

And here’s a lil video of their love!! lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X9FHLZDStY

I’m so excited as I got my juicer, A Breville.

awesome blossom

Roger and Cheryl went to Trader Joe’s and then to Bed Bath and Beyond. Cheryl got this for us. How cool is that. I have a gr8 step-parental unit. We can’t wait to make fresh, healthy juices. No more store bought preservatives for us. YAY!!

They left this morning, and now my Dexter baby is crushed. He keeps going to the front window and door and cries for Reilly. It’s so pathetic. 😛 My poor baby. He doesn’t even want to go outside with his ‘sister’ and ‘brother’ doggies. Oh well, he’ll get over it eventually. 😉

Now we are getting the above ground pool [15 footer] all ready for the summer. Today will be a long day. Get the pool going, Sam’s Club, pool supply store, and get some cooking done. I can’t wait. Keeping busy is helping me tons. I will not over do it though, as I want to keep this feeling for a long time. I’m out!

Blessings and Hope!

Weird day…

Tracy8 Comments

Ever have those days where you feel like your living it in another body? And, not in a bad way.

Ruby and I did our show on blog talk radio today, The Padded Room. It was a great time with our guest Linni. Today was part one, and next Thursday we will be doing part 2 with Linni. She has overcome addiction, abuse, and now faces a new chapter in her life, Diabetes. You can hear the archives of today’s show here.

After the show, I did my pedaler, watched a couple more Criminal Minds I had DVR’d, and then got in the shower.

I was planning on hanging out and playing Nintendo with dd#3, then an iCal alarm on my MAC went off. It was time for Amy Harden’s Show, Postcards from OZ, on the rlrn blog talk radio. I got in the chat room and Amy mentioned she was on her own today, no co-host. I told her if she needed me, I’d log in and co-host. It was not something I had planned on doing, but I’m so glad I did. The topic was:
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Keeping a Positive Mindset through Holistic Living with Sandy Guerriere.

It was a great show, and Sandy and me have a lot of the same mindset when it comes to foods and what we put in our bodies in regards to our health. If you get a chance, listen to the archives here. We all had a great time. Thanks to Amy for letting me co-host.

It was all so surreal though. It was like it was me doing all of this today, but yet it was not. Not sure that makes much sense to anyone but me. lol

We just had tostadas for dinner, hubby made, and then I got back on the computer and it was an all freaky feeling kind of happening. lol Kind of like an out-of-body thing. But, again, not in a bad way. Kind of a cool feeling really. Maybe it is a feeling of accomplishment or something. I felt pretty useful today, which does not happen often. So, maybe that’s it…I don’t know, but there you have it!!

Now dd#3 and I will be watching some new DVR’d Criminal Minds, with our men Derek Morgan [Shemar Moore] and Dr. Spencer Reid [Matthew Gray Gubler]!!

YUMMY x2

Blessings and Hope!!

Clarification…

Tracy4 Comments

No, for those who have asked via email, I’ll never become one of those ‘shiny-happy-people’!! ROFL

Not that being a ‘shiny-happy-person’ is bad, but it’s just not me. There will still be days when I want to scream and whine, I’m sure, but hopefully not as much. I do kind of think that ‘shiny-happy-people’ must be a little off though. I mean really, how can anyone be that way ALL the time. Everyone at some point has had a ‘bad’ day. Well, maybe if you are medicated and have no clue of the world around you it may work. hmmmmm Might be a plan. Bellevue hospital maybe? Think about it, room and board, food fixed for you, linens changed, any and all meds you may need, can it get any better than that.

Just Kidding!!

But, seriously… I still look at my wheel-chariot and feel bummed every day. I’m just going to try and not let the feelings take me over. Not being able to walk is so frustrating for me. My mind feels like I can just get up and get moving, but  my body says, “NOPE!”, loudly. This is something I will need to work on and learn to cope with. It will take time, but I will get through it. Sometimes when I watch movies, see people walking, I can feel my eyes tear up and the moisture roll down my cheek. Funny thing is at that moment I do not even realize it until the taste of salt hits my lips. The fatigue, the DDD, the tummy and colon issues, and all the rest, even the incontinence are not what make me blue, it’s losing my ability to walk and have the strength I once had. I do not think I have ever realized where the pain comes from deep inside. I’m trying to look and see my triggers and recognize them so that I do not lose myself again.

I’m hoping by working on my legs with the pedaler, and my arms with the hand job [shake weight], that I can get a bit of strength back. I decided on a 2 day on 1 day off plan. 2 days of the exercise and 1 day off. I thought long and hard about when I fell of the wagon, so to speak, almost 2 years ago. It was when I got to feeling better I over did everything. It caught up with me and I crashed. So this time I am going to watch and learn my limitations. Kind of like, on the third day she rests!! lol

zzzzzzzzz

Hope your today was a good one!

Blessings and Hope!
