Day 35&36/365… Grrrrrr


Ugh, I’m again behind on my postings. Well, I’m not going to let that put me in a mindset that has me just flat out give up on this. So let me start with where I left off…

Wednesday was a lot more calm. I had my usual physical therapy then Fal and I went back home and watched a movie. We then did some art and that was about it for our day.

After Meta got home we drove around a bit and when it came time we picked Meta up and went to the mall to have dinner.

Yesterday was quite frustrating for me. First I woke up to my external hard drive not working. This was a very bad thing because that was where I backed up everything and some of my things weren’t on this computer due to lack of space/time to move everything over. After fighting with it all day I took it to find out what happened and was told that it was dead and it would cost me somewhere between $250 and $2,000 just to get the data back. T his was not the news I wanted to hear. Ugh, so now I’m without all the stuff that I had on that thing because like hell I have $2,000 dollars to get all my data off of that thing. Goodbye all of my pron… lol Well, now when someone asks “Did you back it up” I can tell them that I did but the backup failed. >.<

There was one very goo thing that happened. Meta cooked a very tasty shrimp fajita dish for dinner. It was just what I needed methinks.

That's my last couple of days in a nutshell. Now I'm going to go back to trying to find out exactly what I lost on that drive. I'll likely write about today later.

Day 28/365… Cars And Whatnot


Yesterday was a bit odd. It started out just as any normal day with Fal and me going to my physical therapy appointment. Then we went back home and watched a movie.

So yeah most of the day was just a day but then just as Fal and I were borrowing Meta’s car to go fine me some shoes Mom called. She was again having car troubles. What’s up with Mom and her lemons for cars? Fal and I then went to help her and found the problem right away. Now I get to go back to her place today and replace the belt on her jeep… joy. Oh well at least I’ve done this before on another jeep so I know what to expect and looking at what I’ve see on this model it’s even easier than Dennis’ old jeep.

So I was going to cook Dijon mustard chicken for dinner but by the time I was done with everything it was rather late so we had pizza instead. I hope I get this done in a timely fashion tonight so I can cook the chicken tonight.

All in all it was a good but busy weekend so I can’t complain. I’ll talk to you all later.

Day 26/365… O…K…


Ugh, I hate waking up to stupid shit that I thought was over with.

Do you all remember my post that made almost a month ago about the “friend” how I was working with for the tailoring business but decided not to because he was treating my like shit? If not you can read it here (don’t forget to read the comments too). He’s back again and now seemingly trying t start shit again this time by responding to old news. I haven’t even mentioned him until this post because I thought it was all over with. Hell, I hadn’t heard form him for weeks. Why did he even bother talking to me again? I am really that wrong to write about my feelings on here? WTF?

Anyway I’m done ranting about this. Will you all please take pity on my now? Just joking. That’s what he thinks I’m shooting for when I post things like this on here. So why do I post on here anyway? Well, there are many reasons for this.

1) I like to keep a log of what happened and when so I can go back to it at a later date and see why I was the way I was and what caused me to act a cretin way. Yes, I a nut case and am OCD about this fact. Sure I can log this in my own privet place but I don’t feel the need to do so. Not with these things that I post on here. (PS: Do you think this is all I write about? ;p)

2) I do like to know what others think about what’s going on in my life and how I’m handling my issues. After all I can’t know if I’m doing that well or not if all I do is surround myself with people who are friends. After all friends are ofter on the side of their friends. Not to offend I’m glad to hear your opinions too but sometimes it helps to hear from someone looking in rather than someone on the inside.

3) Above all I SIMPLY LIKE TO WRITE. I don’t care who reads this I just want to get it out of my mind and onto “paper.” If someone likes my writing that that’s a bonus. If they don’t that’s fine by me too. Just remember you don’t have to read this if you don’t want to. It’s up to you.

In other news the rest of today was nice. I watched some TV and took a walk. It wasn’t nearly as hot as it had been.

My insurance also approved my physical therapy for my shoulder so again I’m going to be having a buys time of it for a while but it’s worth it. WOOT!

That’s it for now I may post something more tonight but I just needed to vent a bit. Oh, yeah I not supposed to do that because it makes some people mad. Bah just look at what this sort of thing does to me. I off to try to a bit of quiet time before we pick up Fal.

Day 23/365… Yesterday’s News


Yeah, yeah I’m a bit late in this post. Oh well it happens when I get busy… At least that’s what I have to tell myself when I just don’t write at night.

Anyway yesterday was a good day. I had my last physical therapy appointment for my foot. It went well but my foot isn’t what I need to have worked on it’s my shoulder and so far there has been no word as to what’s going on with my insurance. Oi!

Last night I had my brother and mom over for dinner. I cooked chicken pesto pizza with her. She helped my chop everything up and cook the chicken and I have a lot of fun with her. It times like last night that make me remember the good things about her. Yeah, she’s totally a mess but she really does have a good hart.

After dinner I was a bit overloaded so I just did my wind down thing and just didn’t write. That’s all I’ve got for now I’ll likely write about today later this evening.

See ya,

Day 20/365… Just A Day


Today was just another day. Not a lot happened. I did however manage to cook a good dinner that everyone seemed to like. Other that that it was really just a lazy day. Tomorrow I have my physical therapy for my foot. I hope that the therapy for my shoulder gets approved soon.

That’s all I have for tonight.

One Year Challenge: Day 14/365… I’m Free!!!


First off I’m free! I’m now out of that confounded sling! WOOT! My right arm is KILLING me but it’s worth it. I’ll likely take some pain killers before bed and be fine.

Today was a good day. I went to my physical therapy and got my a$$ kicked but I don’t mind…. lol I also had Dante bite me and Jesus fell on my big toe. Guess how this happened… Fal and I were redoing out reference/literature books… lol

Fal also made a killer good honey almond chicken dish for dinner. So I’m one happy individual. ^_^

That’s about I have for y’all for tonight.

See ya,

Day 105/365… Day Three Of Busy And Surgery Update


Note: Forgive me id this is a bit jumbled for I am feeling a bit loopy thanks to pain killers and pain itself.

Today was the third and hopefully the last day of three that have been quite busy. It started with Fal, Meta and I waking up way early to get me to my surgery. I checked in at 07:30 for a 08:45 start to surgery. It was supposed to take about 1½ hours but it only took a half an hour and apparently the doctor didn’t tell Fal much so I’ll have to find out what happened on the 6th of next month when I see him next. He did however tell Fal that he didn’t want me to go to physical therapy for the whole 6 weeks instead of on Mon as planned. So I get the feeling that it didn’t go as well or was worse than he thought. 0_o;

Afterwords we all had sub sandwiches but I stayed in the car. Then Fal and Meta went to the store and got me some ice packs. Thank you guys very much for all your help today!

We also had good Vietnamese food for diner. Damn these pills make me hungry… lol

Anyway it’s taken me almost 45 minutes to type this with only my left hand (I swear I’m going to become left-handed by the time this 6 weeks are done) so I think I’m going to end it here… Before I rip the alt keys off of this thing. Fuck you fat hand! And why can’t my left understand how to ues a mouse? >.<

See ya!

Day 104/365… Day Two Of Busy


Today was the second day of three that are/will be quite busy. It started with Fal and I waking up and taking Meta to work again. This time we had to take Hoshi (the cat) in for her scheduled bladder surgery. We were told that they were going to x-ray her and see is it had changed or not but it was going to take a while. So Fal and I ate breakfast and then headed to my physical therapy appointment for my foot. The appointment went well thought think I over did it with my foot. >.<

We then went home where we got into a bit of a tiss because I expressed frustration over her taking over one of the characters that I started to work on long before she even tried to start working on her story about a character that is in fact linked with mine. Yes, we conceived the ideas of this universe together but Ivan is MINE I picked him I brought him from a mere thought to “real life.” I gave birth to this child of ours. I started to tell his story. So tell me why do I have to wait for Fal to get done with HER story to complete his story? She tells me that it takes too much time to transcribe what she has wrote about him so I have no choice but to hold off on any details that may be relevant to MY child. Oh but because I chose one man who happens to be connected to many others and she chose another man that happens to be apparently too connected to my character I have no right to be upset? What is this? And I'M the one who's to blame because she's finally on a roll with HER story and I bitched at her for dropping the last project that we were doing together. I have not right to express MY feelings towards what I see as her taking over MY own part of this project. You know what Fuck that. Ivan is still MINE!

OK I'm done ranting. I'll do what I have to do on my own. I already made up my mind.

So during this tiss I get a call from the vet telling me that Hoshi's bladder stone was gone and that needed no surgery after all. It seems that the food that we have been giving her broke it up and she's fine. All we have to do is keep feeding her this soft food that we've been feeding her for the rest of he life. So this was great news! We also got her up to date with her vaccines as well and it cost a LOT less. So I'm not feeling too bad about things again.

That's about it for tonight. Sorry about the long rant I just needed to get it all off my chest. I'll get over it. I guess that's what I get for reading Fal's blog before posting my own.

Tomorrow's the bit surgery day for me. I'll do my best to post tomorrow but I have no idea how I'm going to be.

I'll talk to you soon,

Day 75/365… What The Day???


I don’t really feel like writing like this. I’m feeling a bit drained and a bit too overwhelmed.

Today was crazy. First Fal and Got up at 07:00 and took Meta to work because we needed to barrow the car for my doctor’s appointment that was way south of town. So we also decided to take Nikki to her doctor’s appointment so that she didn’t have to take the bus. Before her appointment we ate breakfast. Then when to Nikki’s appointment.

While we where waiting for her to get done Fal and I went to the SCORE office to see if we could get some info on web business and copyrights. That took a long while. We then picked up Nikki and took her home.

Then we went to my appointment. I found out that I am, indeed going to have surgery on this damn shoulder. There’s about an %80 chance that it will work and help me feel better. It just will take about 6 weeks in a sling then a lot more physical therapy. I think it will be worth it though. I so fed up with this thing that there’s not much that can hurt it more.

After that Fal and I went to the book store and picked up out book that we’ve been looking for for some time. Then we went shopping for lunch tomorrow.

After all of this I decided that I wanted to cook…

This was a mistake. Somehow I got some bad meat or something and cooked the worst spaghetti in my life. YUCK! It was so bas that we ended up dumping it out and going to the mall for better food. I think that was the worst food I had ever made. I mean yeah, I’ve burnt pizza to the point that even the coyotes wouldn’t eat it but this was B-A-D, bad. >.<

So tomorrow I'm cooking again despite my not really wanting to do so so soon after such an experience but I already had plans to have my family over. So yeah, I kind of HAVE to. I know it will be good for me to do but I'm a bit worried about my cooking skills right now. 0_o;

Well that's about it for now. It looks like I needed to write more than I thought I did…lol

Day 47/365… Nerrrr-dyyyy


Today has been a very nerdy day. It started with my physical therapy which isn’t typically all that nerdy but while there Fal ended up reading an article in Time that was about Youtube and Nyancat and that my friends can’t get much more nerdy.

Then after lunch Fal and I ran into our astronomer friend and we got to view the sun and see several sunspots. This was a load of fun for me and I think Fal enjoyed it too. ^_^ We then went home and watched an episode of CSI and then House. So yeah it was quite a nerdy day…lol

I also made a great stuffed pepper dish. I think it turned out to be the best stuffed pepper dish that I have ever made. It was quite simple but it took forever to make. I’m soooo glad that I thought ahead enough to start it around five other wise we really may have been eating at midnight…lol

During dinner I got a call from Mom inviting Fal, Meta and me out to eat tomorrow night. It was a bit short notice but it was good timing because Fal doesn’t work tomorrow and there wasn’t any solid dinner plans made yet. It also keeps us from spending too much on eating out ourselves. I should say we have been doing MUCH better with that though.

I think that’s all that’s happened today…lol I’ll talk to you tomorrow I doubt it will be as exciting. All there is planned is the dinner and hopefully at least a bit of “spring cleaning.” lol
