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.

I’m tired and sore, so it’s bedtime.

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.

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?

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.

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 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.

Tho, I will talk to a doctor first.

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.

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.

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.

Busy week, I can’t wait.

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 think it’s bedtime, frankly.

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.

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.

Meh, My brain is melting. Peace.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
