I went for x rays of my back today. I’m sort of hoping that they’ll confirm that there is something wrong with me. If it does, what’s the next step? I’m not sure. I’m scared.
I fell flat on my back last night while grilling, I’m still sore as hell. I’m just glad I can finally see a doctor and start to get some of this taken care of.
After my x rays, we went shopping for a lawn mower. I was expecting to pay close to $150 for a new one, but scored a MAJOR steal. Wal-mart had a return that they were selling for $75. I snagged it. I seriously can’t believe the deal. We came home and Rob mowed the entire yard with it. I don’t know why it was returned, but it works perfect. I think the blade might be a little lose, but that’s so totally not a big deal.
Now if I could score a good deal on rv financing that way.. I’d take a vacation and travel. I’d love to be able to do that. I sort of envy people who RV full time. But then I think about how difficult it can be, I don’t.
Summer is coming to an end. It’s been a good, busy, summer. I have one more event to do this summer then it will officially be over. I’m not complaining, really. Although, the end of summer will mean that I soon need to dig out snow boots again.
I need to get back working on a microfilm/fiche reader. Soon school will be started so I can contact them about usage of theirs if it’s the size that I need. Currently, I’m multi-tasking and trying to find out what the library has. I hope one of these pan out for me, as I would love to put the Valley Breeze on display.
Life is boring in my world so we’ll talk about phones. I used to always have a cordless phone in my house so that I could take it outside. However, I haven’t found a single one that I like these days. I need to sit down and read cordless phone reviews and find a good one. I have two wired telephones. I think the biggest problem is that I had my old cordless phone is that I have it around my electronics and I need to move it. I know that I can’t have my cell phone near my electronics.
This is a sample of the thoughts in my head in the middle of the night, boring right?
Someone asked me once whether I would want to go back and be a kid again and I said no. They thought it was odd that I wouldn’t want to go back to having little to no responsibility. I don’t mind being responsible. I pay my bills and it feels good, really. Looking for vehicle insurance quotes doesn’t bother me, it makes me realize that there are a lot of things that I took for granted as a kid. There’s nothing wrong with being a responsible adult. It’s something I take pride in.
I would dearly love to be on vacation right now. I would take a trip to nearly anywhere as long as it didn’t involve flying. Give me a Branson vacation package and I’d go. The new country music capital? I’d love it. Go see the RFD-TV live shows? A blast.
I’m not a picky person, a trip to the next town over for an overnight getaway would even work, as long as it was somewhere other than here for a day. What about you? Where would you want to go?
Sometimes, I wonder why people think that they need to have managed IT services when a lot of times, it isn’t necessary. For instance, to run a website, you need a couple people who are interested in helping out and keep it updated. I want to, down the road, start a website for the Town of Van Etten, to share historical items and make it accessible to those who came from the area but no longer live here.
I know that it was discussed before, but tabled due to cost. What’s the cost? I pay $60 a year for hosting for my sites. I have a large package, however, the town would not need that. I pay less than $10 per year for my domain. I maintain everything myself. I don’t see why the town couldn’t do similar.
Our neighbors should be able to start demo soon. I’m happy for them, they deserve to get back in their own home. I’m happy that we’ll be getting our neighbors back too. It’s been eerily quiet without them up here. It’s got to be exciting, in a way, to build a new home. Picking out the fixtures and whatnot. Can you imagine being able to pick out some cool Maxim lighting fixtures.
Once they get back up here, things will get back to normal. It’ll be really nice to have nice neighbors back.
Some people have more money than brains at times. My cousin was helping a woman clean house. She was telling me that they cleaned out probably $4000 worth of clothes with the tags on them still. She had some left that hadn’t been sent to charity, so we went through them to pick out anything Mom could wear, since she’s lost so much weight. There were mens clothes, womens, and I’d bet that if the woman had kids, there would have been kids halloween costumes in the mix.
I don’t understand how someone can do that, honestly. We came out of there with 5 bags. We sorted them and sent 3 bags to charity when we were done. At least someone will get benefit from them.
I’m seriously fed up with my husband. He doesn’t seem to care that he is gaining weight. I don’t care what the scale says. He’s gained a lot of weight and it shows. Maybe he was better off with the doctor that wanted to put him on fat burners. I’m so sick of trying to get him to understand that if he doesn’t do things differently, he’s going to end up 400lbs.
I’m frustrated with him for other things. He doesn’t listen. Ever.
I’m tired of everything. It’s kind of funny, someone told me what to do about my not sleeping well. Would you believe it if I said that I was told to take prenatal-vitamins?
I couldn’t fathom it either, since I’m not pregnant. But once you look at it objectively, it makes a lot of sense. If you look at what they do for you when you’re pregnant, they can do the same for one who is not.
One thing about my communing with the sun. I got close enough to a burn that I have severely itchy and annoying eczema on my shoulders and back.
I am itching almost non-stop. My ears even itch! Oh god it’s horrible. Does this mean I’ll stop communing with the sun? Hell no. I will do it again, once things go back to normal. Right now, I can still smell smoke.
Have you ever been inside a building that’s hotter than it is outside? I have. How would you feel if it was your home? It would suck, right? That’s what I think too. Here’s the thing, a mobile home is a metal building. It retains heat like whoa.
During the hot streak last week, it was often hotter inside than out. I did stay inside, though, cuz the idea of heatstroke doesn’t appeal to me. From what I hear, this week isn’t much better. Thank Gods I have things I have to do that involve being in air conditioned buildings.
Flyin’ down the Highway, not a cop in sight, every thing’s a blur, even the exit signs.
I’m in a strange head space. I keep getting sidetracked, distracted and busy with other things when I should be catching up on stuff.
Vacation has begun. Tomorrow is going to be grocery shopping. Tomorrow night is a concert up town. Monday is Dr. Appt and a meeting Tuesday is .. empty! Wednesday is Mom’s appt and a car show Thursday is a tech visit for my sat. box. Friday is payday, music and blueberries Saturday is .. open, unless I go help a friend.
It’s finally raining, the temperature has dropped immensely. It will only stay cool overnight. Muggy will return with a vengeance tomorrow. Oh well.
I need to go to the doctor soon. It’s time for a checkup. Need to see about some sort of supplements to see if I can be balanced again. I know I’m out of whack.
I need to make some decisions soon. Mostly doctor related. I should go back to Ortho, but it doesn’t bother me, just crunches when I bend and flex. I also have less weight tolerance than I used to.
I have a headache, I’m sleepy, I’m hot and I’m tired. So why am I still awake? I’ve been roleplaying. Haven’t done it in years. It’s been better for me than diet supplements for sure. Why? I forget to eat and lose track of time when I’m roleplaying.
Today was an okay day. A lot going on in my mind, for sure. I have a lot to think about. Can’t wait for this weekend, though. Sunday is going to be blueberry picking, unless it rains a lot tomorrow and Saturday.
I’ll miss you, Rose.. You were so much more than a friend, you were so much more like a second mother.. I love you…

Why did she have to go So young I just don’t know why Things happen half the time Without reason without rhyme Lovely, sweet young woman Daughter, wife and mother Makes no sense to me I just have to believe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting And I know she’s smiling saying Don’t worry ’bout me
Loved ones she left behind Just trying to survive And understand the why Feeling so lost inside Anger shot straight at God Then asking for His love Empty with disbelief Just hoping that maybe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting And I know she’s smiling saying Don’t worry ’bout me
It’s hard to say goodbye Her picture in my mind Will always be of times I’ll cherish And I won’t cry ’cause
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees And she walks with jesus and her loved ones waiting And I know she’s smiling saying Don’t worry ’bout me Don’t worry ’bout me Don`t worry ’bout me
It’s bloody hot. I don’t know how much of this crap I can take. It’s been over 90 this week. Tomorrow is supposed to hit 100. Ugh. I don’t sleep when it’s like this, so I’m going to have to invest in some anti wrinkle eye cream if the heat doesn’t break soon.
Tomorrow, we have a funeral to attend. It’s going to be insanely hot. I don’t think we’re going to the cemetery, especially if it’s this hot. I’d like to, but I don’t know if Mom can handle it. As it is, she’s going to have a hard time at the funeral.
I just hope she can get through this without losing it too badly. *sigh*
I need to write up a report. I have nothing to report at this time. I put everything on hold last week. It’s been a month, I’m not sure what to do at this point. I’m excited about the future, I just want to fire 2010.
It’s bloody hot. It’s 97 degrees at the nearest weather station. I’m 970 degrees in the house. I should be cleaning. I should go outside. I should do a lot of things, but I’m not doing anything.
I’m incredibly disgusted with the human race as a whole. What would possess someone to enter a burnt out home and steal a Wii Console? I’m not kidding. I’m disgusted beyond belief. People are nosy, arrogant and pathetic.
Rather than dwell on my hatred of the weather and humanity, I’m looking at an mmf drawer. Not quite sure why. I don’t have a cash register. Altho, it could come in handy if I wanted to have a yard sale.
Everyone wants to save money, especially me. I learned to be a coupon clipper from my Mom. She always clipped coupons from the Sunday paper. She saved as much money as possible. I do the same thing as well. One thing I do, however, is use online coupons as well.
They are some of the greatest things ever. It’s eco-friendly, it’s more geared towards what I buy. I only print the coupons that I will use, only the coupons that I need. It takes a little more time, sure, but it’s worth it in the end. They are doubled, they are treated like any other coupons.
I think that if anyone is trying to save money, they should use online coupons.
New Tax Approved New Cigarette Tax Approved: Albany, N.Y. (AP) – New York’s Legislature has voted to make the state the nation’s most expensive place to smoke, approving a tax hike that brings the price of cigarettes to about $9.20 a pack.
Congratulations, New York Legislature, you just shot yourself in the foot. Smokers are just going to go to the reservations, out of state or order their cigarettes online now that they’ve increased the taxes yet again, trying to bail themselves out of debt. Now, I’m not a smoker, my mother and father both were. My father didn’t quit until he went in the hospital and didn’t come home again. Mom quit when she got sick and hasn’t started again. I had my typical bout of teenage rebellion when I was 18 and smoked for about 3 years on and off. While I do feel the state needs to make money and this doesn’t personally affect me, I think it’s ridiculous that it’s always cigarettes that are getting taxed.
Do I want taxes on other things going up? Hell no. What I want is for the state to stop being so stupid. Stop spending money on stupid crap. Stop voting on pay raises so the legislators can afford new pond filters or whatever they do with their money. It’s getting old, frankly. Really old.
I spent the weekend communing with the sunshine. No, I did not lay out in the sun. I gave that up in my early 20′s. I did sit on the porch this evening and last night to enjoy the sun. I didn’t burn, but I did get to that tight, itchy, omgmustscratch stage right before burning. No amount of lotion soothes the itching.
Tonight, I’ve been trying to plan my anniversary. It’s not easy. There are plenty of things I want to do, but I don’t know what I’ll have the money to do. I know what I want for a gift. Sort of. I want a digital frame. I love the one a friend has. It’d be a great thing to have for presentations.
I want to have a picnic with friends, somewhere with swimming. The only places I know of that we can do that is at a state park, which costs between $6 and $8 to get in. It sucks. I dunno what to do at this point. Guess I’ll have to figure it out soon.
Somewhere in this world, a web designer is getting their backside kicked. Why? Because they think it’s okay to make ambiguous links for people to click. This started way back in the day when people were using.. do you remember it? Geocities! I’ve even been guilty of making the ambiguous click here link from time to time.
Typically, there’s context around those links, but I’ve noticed a lot more lately, the links have no context. For example, the link above has nothing to do with the context of the post, really. It’s about how to treat cholesterol.
Ever try to figure out why links are done that way? It’s to make you want to click them. Go ahead, you know you want to. I’ll wait while you click it.
..Didn’t do it? I didn’t think so. My readers are smarter than that, I would hope. At least hover over the link to see where it goes first. You never know when an ambiguous link is going to lead to a virus.
One of the things that I’ve learned over the last month and a half is that when you feel like something is wrong, it probably is and needs to be checked out. Yesterday I went and got my wrist checked. I know I’ll need ortho. Fine, I can handle that. I also need to go back to my primary again and see what I need there. I probably need to be on some vitamins of some sort. I know I don’t get enough calcium. I don’t drink milk.
I have been sleeping normally lately. That likely won’t hold out for much longer, I’d be willing to bet. I’m going to try, however, since I like sleeping normal hours. I need to insist on the things that feel wrong and make the doctor listen, or find one who will. That’s the biggest lesson I learned in all of this.
As a teenager, the biggest concern I remember having is whether my homework was done for school or not. Today it seems like teens worry about everything under the sun. If they aren’t worrying about their cell phones and texting, they’re worried about what the best acne treatment is. It seems like it’s a never ending cycle of worry.
I was listening to a kid last night talking about how much homework he needs to do yet, plus work and all this and that. I remember having those days, but what gets me is that rather than doing it early in the morning before the day gets started, or before going to bed at night, they’d rather wait until the last minute to do it instead. I don’t understand that.
I guess I was a different breed of teen than others. I actually didn’t mind homework. I did it early and got it done most of the time.
