Too Much

Right now I feel like I have so much going on health wise I am going to lose it.
I feel like my body is betraying me. I feel like I have betrayed my body.

I feel like no one quite understands. I feel like I should not complain.
I feel sad, confused,mad,angry,upset,scared,afraid and many other things I can't quite put into words.

Being diagnosed with Intracranial Hypertension, aka: Pseudotumor Cerebri, has just turned my world upside down.

I am trying to keep the faith.
I pray a lot, like a a lot a lot. I feel that is all I can do.
I just want this all to go away.

My husband has been super extremely supportive. Sometime, most times, I feel like he is the only one that is supporting me.
Maybe my family just does not understand what I go through on a day to day basis.

I wish I had friends. That sounds so lame and pathetic, but I really don't have any out here I see or talk to on a daily or regular basis. I long for a best friend.Someone besides my amazing hubby. I am sure someone out there understands. Someone I can talk to anytime about anything. Someone I can be there for, whether it is 2 in the afternoon or 2 in the am. Don't most females want some female friends? At least 1 close friend? Whatever I guess.

Past few days just have not been good. Maybe I should start writing here more. Maybe this can be my therapy of some kind, I don't know. Maybe my blog can be my new friend haha.

Anywho, thanks for listening, whoever you are.

God Bless

Artichoke Spinach dip

I have got to share this recipe.
I have made it many times and I think it is just delicious.
Maybe not the most healthy thing, but that's okay :-)

4 cloves garlic (if I do not have any I just use a bit of garlic powder)
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 (10 ounce) container Alfredo-style pasta sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Place garlic in a small baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven 20 to 30 minutes, until soft. Remove from heat. When cool enough to touch, squeeze softened garlic from skins.
3. In an 8x8 inch baking dish, spread the roasted garlic, spinach, artichoke hearts, Alfredo-style pasta sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese and cream cheese.
4. Cover and bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until cheeses are melted and bubbly. Serve warm.
