Well, after the disappointing email regarding taking a bus to Pennsy, I decided on something else. There is a bus that heads to the Sands casino, but it has the same situation - a noon time bus to the casino, but the bus home is too early. I am seriously contemplating booking a room and staying the night. That way I can get there about 2:30PM, hang out in my room if I want or do something else, and then go to the show. And after it is over, I just have to go back to the hotel and do whatever I want. Head home in the morning on the 10:00AM bus.
My only issue is how I would get to and from the bus station in Philly. I don't know how parking works at the bus station for me to drive myself there, and I would not be happy leaving my car overnight. And there is still the issue of how awkward I would feel attending a concert by myself. It doesn't help that a lot of seats are still available, so depending on where I sit, I would kind of stick out like a sore thumb. I can't believe how many seats are still open. Sure the place seats something like 7,000 people, but I thought those tickets would sell out in no time. And what if they sing "I Found A Whistle" and I burst into tears? Oh God it would be so embarrassing.
I always say that I would love to take vacations myself, especially since I am such a loner and it appears my whole life is going to be spent forever alone. Why not start now? I'm tired of this life of never taking risks. And after the fight I got into earlier with my mom, I can see why I never take risks. Either too much fear has been put into me to take them, or I get so beat down from others when I want to take one that I end up just saying the hell with it. Oh, and because I seemingly don't know when to stop when I get into a fight, I had to bring up my mom starting on me on Friday and then about the song, and I managed to learn that my music is "very depressing" and it's not the kind of music someone like me should be listening to. MGMT depressing? I can't even make any sense from that. My brain is so full of fuck from this statement.
I honestly wish it was sooner, because I want a vacation away from my family NOW.
ETA 7/24: Now I always take the Accuweather long term forecasts with a grain of salt, because I have followed them before and watched them change about a million gazillion times, but it has not stopped calling for rain on the 5th. For God's sake. If some external force is trying to tell me not to go, then for the love of all that is holy, JUST FLAT OUT TELL ME ALREADY.

Yay Or Nay - Adrenal Fatigue
Because I have spent more hours than should be considered healthy (unless one has actually been diagnosed with it) researching Addison's, I have come across quite a few articles and forum postings on adrenal fatigue, which is basically the adrenal glands are not functioning up to par.
A lot of what I read on it comes from webpages that promote naturalistic approaches to medicine and many state that mainstream medicine brushes it off. It's kind of a tough call. It's almost like the whole aspartame debate. I imagine if you do enough research, EVERY goddamn thing under the sun could be considered dangerous to your health in some way or another.
A couple of responses to it being unreal were why do doctors only think in black and white, with Addison's and Cushing's, but not that a problem can't exist somewhere in between? Which is a good point. The only problem I see with adrenal fatigue is when you read through the symptoms, it seems very vague. And I'm sure I could find plenty of people who experience them. Hell, I could check off a pretty decent chunk of the list. So do I actually have it? I don't know.
I took a quiz out of curiosity and it asked many questions, not anything difficult to answer, but a little difficult in rating. I scored an overall 1.5, which considers my adrenals to be mildy fatigued.
If adrenal fatigue does exist, hell, I couldn't blame my adrenal glands for not wanting to function up to par. Poor diet, easily stressed out, high caffeine intake, etc. All this time I was more concerned about the stress I was putting on my cardiovascular system by being so stressed, and I certainly know first hand that stress can affect many parts of the body, but I never realized all of the specific organs it could affect. In fact- despite countless hours spent in medical books, one course of anatomy (and countless hours reading through the books outside of school, although to be fair, I do not recall the endocrine system being a part of Anatomy 1 at my school) and medical terminology- I don't even think I ever heard of the adrenal glands until recently. And if I did, I obviously pushed it to the back of my mind. After all, my mind has more important things to do, like slowly kill me by driving me nuts. But never mind that. Something needs to be done about my stress levels. It's ridiculous. And obviously very unhealthy.
I already took one stupid, but small step in easing the stress on them (and hopefully my overall stress in general) by stopping with coffee. No more two cups for me. But my digestive system isn't happy with the decision. I'm still drinking soda, but I am trying to cut back on that as well. Eventually I'd like to try to switch to decaf for the majority of the time.
