Creeping Along in Still Listening to Spirit

I don’t know why it is so difficult for me to deal with Fred Meyer pharmacy. Seems it will straighten out sooner or later. I called to get syringes for insulin, they are over-the-counter purchases and can’t just mail me some, have to have a prescription from Lynne. Sigh.
I left a message for Lynne and she called around 1pm to tell me she had taken care of that and to find out how I am. I told her I stopped the muscle spasm meds as they didn’t work anyway and the dizziness and head rush sensations have disappeared. Lynne noted that I was not slurring my words.
So, I will call Fred Meyers tomorrow and get the syringes in the mail.
I got notification today from unemployment at the State that I am eligible for $128 a week for 16 weeks. OMG, I was thrilled and so was Bill–he didn’t remember that I could apply and/or had applied.
Bill is upset over our phone/internet billing. We are allowed 2GB per month for the $25++ fee and every GB after that his charged. Anyway for September, which will show up on the November billing (why so far behind I don’t know), there is an extra $90 for internet usage. Bill called to say he wanted to talk to a tech or someone who could explain that charge as we have never gone over!!
Bill asked a question I couldn’t answer. We both know if we go looking at a lot of youtube and other videos, they count as downloads or usage of GB’s. Bill wanted to now if the videos that are on Facebook and just start playing are racking up GB’s or not. Anyone know? Or are we looking in the wrong place for overusage?
I am not as ‘flat’ this week, but still not enjoying life. I am exercising with my DVD every day. Didn’t today because I think the muscles in my back have been hurting because of some of the weight exercises. I will be more attentive tomorrow but I think I am tightening up bac k muscles as arms get tired and shakey towards the end. I did walk 30 minutes on the treadmill. “Gray’s Anatomy” is on from Noon to 3pm and I put on my wireless earphones and watch and walk.
Dreary for too long with no sun or blue skies and c loudy at night so no northern lights. Oh well,
Blessed be!

Ouch on those extra charges. I think it is up to the carrier how they calculate the useage. Glad you are not suffering the effects of the muscle relaxants on top of everything else going on. You might want to alternate days with two different workouts to give your muscles a break. The walking on the treadmill is fine but any sort of muscle fatigue you want to rest. So your instincts to take a break are good. Every darn day has its challenges. The pharmacy, always a good candidate for challenge of the day.

Those auto play ads and videos definitely count as internet usage.

Firstly, yes - the automatic download of Facebook videos will be using up your data but not to the among you've been overcharged, I would not have thought. How much per extra GB are they charging (ie how GB extra did you use?) . It's definitely worthwhile your changing Facebook anyway.
You might like to check someone isn't hijacking your internet. Is it password protected?

That charge seems odd to me, but I don't watch anything on my phone so don't know. The extra income--so happy to hear about that. I like the way rainbowglitterwitch puts it...hug to you gently today, seedys. You are walking the walk...exercising, getting supplies when it isn't easy, and applying for needed funds. That's the way!

You do sound better you know. :)
Here I am a slug. I haven't figured out how to exercise without my hand swelling out of my cast. At least it is purple. LOL Did I tell you that I have a married grandson in North Pole.
You know my thoughts are with you every day. Hugs from here.

Wow--do you? The north pole? How does he like it there? I take it he's in the military, right?

So three days later, am hoping the syringes have arrived. Hoping you are able to continue to return from that dark place you were in a while ago. Every little improvement probably should be celebrated. Thinking of you.
