Current Mood: Chilling & Reflective

It has been a rough last few days on a personal level. Nothing that I can really discuss here. I did call my best friend on my break today to vent. Thank god I have her. Everyone needs one person that you can tell everything, in any manner to no matter what. She doesn’t judge me and if I’m pissed, she lets me go off just to get it out of my system.

I had two close friends in HS including her. My other friend, it was so one way……when I was young and had no life, she constantly wanted to be the center of attention and concern. When I got a life and things started getting complicated, I came to realize she never wanted to listen to what was going on in my life and what I was stressing…..it had to be about her and her issues. Luckily my best friend wasn’t like that. I was able to vent and share my stresses while she was able to vent to me. It was a life saver.

Now when we talk on the phone, it is half-half. Like today, I vented and stressed on her and then she vented and stressed on me. What is funny whenever either of us get the urge to call, the other one is thinking of the other. It is like we sense when we need each most for dealing with stuff.

To symbolize our friendship we both got a claddagh ring. We felt that the meaning of that ring defined our friendship:

The Claddagh’s distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart, and usually surmounted by a crown. The elements of this symbol are often said to correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown). The expression which was associated with these symbols in the giving of the ring was: “With these hands I give you my heart and I crown it with my love.”

I was just so relieved to be able to get a hold of her today. It really helped.

Current Mood: Crappy

Damn, my feet really hurt. I’m just miserable.  My knees even hurt.

I finally picked up some ink…..I had a bunch of printing that needed to be done.  We have more black ink on the way.  But looking at the levels and what we have, we are going to need to order some color next week.

It has been stressful around here with everything going on……..can’t wait until we are moved and settled.

With me being stuck on my ass next week, I hope to get the majority of my maintenance stuff done.

Oh yeah, I get to work today and noticed that I’m bruised from the blood work.  The arm that she 1st tried has a very small one, while the arm where she actually got the blood looks like hell.  It is a purple as some of nail polishes.  =(

I went and got my blood work done this morning.  I’ve donated blood and have been poked before, but I was unnerved today about it.  What bother me is that that I’m what they call a “hard stick”.  If they can get a vein the 1st time around and I’m not looking at it, it is all good.  But it is the constant sticking that hurts when they can’t find a vein.  My veins roll and a few years ago I had a nurse just keep digging to get it and left me all bruised up.  So something that never use to bother me, has grown into apprehension due to folks not being able to find my veins…..It took this nurse two tries, but no where near as bad as others have done and was very talkative to help distract me.  It doesn’t even looked bruised and I hope it stays that way.

Ran out of black ink last night.  =(  I thought we had some more, but I was mistaken.  I meant to pick some up today but totally forgot about it.  With all the items I have to print out for my online work I’ve been going through tons of ink.

I finally got some other work done that I’ve been trying to get to.  I originally wanted to get some of it done Monday, but with all the appointments I was just shit out of luck.

I have started to clean up my external hard drive and work on some of the pictures that I’ve had sitting on my laptop since last summer.  Once I finish with those pictures I can start uploading parts of my stuff for my family.  It is going to take hours for that.  I’m also trying to remember to add those links to my pages while I go…….my eyes are getting blurry.

I did try to post a phone blog, but I don’t think that server is up yet.  I did it twice to see if I did something wrong…so it don’t be surprise if I can’t get to it as soon as it posts.  They will be a repeat and I will have to delete one.
Tomorrow is a work day and have more things that I want to get done before heading to bed.

Since I can’t pronouce the issue I have with my feet, I had a nurse write it out since I can’t spell it………I know, I know…very sad.  This is what I have plantar faciitis.  Here are a few links to what it is :

It sucks!

Current Mood: Cool

Well, I’m starting to get nervous about the surgery. I’ve only being operated on once…and have had only one fractured finger, that I didn’t even both with the doctor. I’m used to dentists…..they never bothered me, saved me from long term pain and helped me keep my teeth….so I appreciate them. I really like our foot doctor, just nervous.

I filled my prescriptions for after the surgery. I told him no codeine at all. He got me darvocet….I’m so hoping that it doesn’t make me as sick as codeine does. I hate that stuff.

I’m also not looking forward to the removal of all my toe nail polish/designs. =( But it sounds as if I can keep my nails. They need the nails exposed for keeping an eye on oxygen levels.

I did get some things done when I can home today. I did get most of my private messages done. =) I still have a few more, but it isn’t too bad.

I have blood work I have to get done tomorrow. =( But I hope to get some work done……I don’t want to be running around all day….icks

Current Mood: Chilling

Well, today was a waste on getting things done here.  My day off ended up being a day of doctor appointments.  I saw my main doctor for some prescription stuff that I need fulfilled and then made an appointment for a few other minor things.  I had gotten appointments for Torn and I to get our eyes checked out.  I haven’t had one for about 4yrs and Torn for about 14 yrs and with us on the computer a lot it had to be done.  Good news is that we probably won’t need glasses for about 6-7 yrs.  Then it was one to my foot doctor.  I got my scripts for after surgery, of course I forgot to ask about my nails….doh  But I need to get blood work done Wednesday for the surgery.  =(

If you saw Torn’s posts about the Supreme Court rulings…..those sucked.  At least that moron with the $54 mil suit over pants lost….I hope he gets stuck with all the legal fees.

Then there is the horrible news about Chris Benoit and his wife Nancy better known as “Woman” and their son have been found dead in their home.  =(  We have meet both Chris & Nancy years ago briefly while working a wrestling event.  Torn watched the WWE tribute to him. I couldn’t…..I would end up crying way too much.

Current Mood: Exhausted & Sleepy

I came home the other day from work and found that Torn had ripped up the kitchen and started packing up.  Oh yeah, he took my dinning room table apart….the house is going into a very chaotic state…..I need to organize it a little bit so I don’t run into things and drive me nuts.  =)

I have tomorrow off, but you won’t be able to tell.  I have nothing but doctor’s appts all day…….icks.  Torn and I do have one together….the eye exam one.  Since we’ve had the insurance that last 3 months and we won’t have it much longer, we better use it at least once.

I’m looking forward to Wed…..a day off with out the constant running around. That is ok, coming next Tuesday I won’t be going anywhere for a week.

I worked today, had to be in by 6am.  I’m starting to feel loopy.  So I’m going to head to bed….have a peaceful night.

Just chilling, listening to Yo Yo Ma play some Bach on his gorgeous sounding cello. I love hearing the cello……I use to play the violin so I love the stringed instruments.

I got some work done when I got home, no much but some. Was trying to look up info about this site :

http://www.top-10-work-at-home.com/

I have a family member wanting to work from home. They don’t know what I fully do and I’m not that familiar with the mainstream online job market. All I know that in the porn world, turnkeys are considered more of a scam. So I was trying to find info, but wasn’t very successful. I did find info that they may find useful on determining what to do from the Better Business Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission and Entrepreneur magazine. I just wish I had found out more. I would love to be able to find something that they can do from home. They are getting up in age and it is harder for them to do physical labor, but like I said, I have no familiarity with mainstream online work. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them.

I picked up my ring today from being resized. Feels good to have it back on my finger. Looks beautiful and really pulls the purple out of my nails. Kind of cool.

I spent the day at work. Not bad, but I’m feeling restless. They got all the big projects done on my days off…….there are things to do, but I need something that gives me the satisfaction of a job well done and we won’t have that until the weekend. Last Sunday it was great, I was busy, getting things done……felt good. I know, I’m weird….I like to feel useful. It doesn’t help that there isn’t anything major to do at work, so I keep thinking of things that I need to do here. Once I’m busy there I don’t have my mind wandering.

Unfortunately I have to get up early tomorrow……..blog with you later.

Current Mood: Accomplished & Working

Today was a work day, both at my day job and here.  I had a few things that I need to take care before I left this morning and I still have a few things to do tonight after I write this.

I did get a few things done at my day job.  I like it when I do that……finishing a project gives me great satisfaction.  =)  I’m simple girl like that.

When I got home, the rain had cooled it down enough to open the doors and shut off the air.  I love times like that, unfortunately I will be turning it on so we can sleep, we like it chilly for sleeping.  But it was warm and humid enough that we jumped into the pool while dinner was cooking.  It felt good.  That is about the only thing I will miss weather wise from Florida………the pool time.

Other wise I’m just working on some store stuff, since I got all of our stuff done.  I’ve been trying to enter things as they come since I finally got it all caught up and with the move…….it would be a huge nightmare to fall behind.

Better get back to work so I can head to bed.
