Silly Gods
Aug. 29th, 2012 05:06 pmSomeone out there heard that I changed my mind about buying a house for the moment. So, instead, they threw me a couple of monkey wrenches.
My car tire got a screw in it, right in the spot where it can't be patched. So my car has a new tire on it today.
I've also helped in a couple places monetarily for things just in the past week, and it feels good being able to do so. It sucks that money is already being siphoned away from my actual budget goals, though.
You hear that, gods? I AM still trying to save for a house, so cut it out.

Slowing Down
Jul. 10th, 2012 08:06 amThere are so many thoughts and emotions flooding my system right now. It doesn't help that I'm PMSing.
This is me.
-------
The bank accepted the other offer for the house. That's probably best, because apparently the house has foundation issues, something that I don't want to deal with whatsoever.
The realtor is rearing to go and look at more houses with me. I'm definitely ready for a house, but right now with these heightened emotions going on, I'm too likely to make a bad decision. I'm thinking about taking a couple weeks off from house hunting just to give me time to get my head on straight.
I'm not in any HUGE rush. I could use the extra time to add more to my savings. I've already starting training myself to go home for lunch, eat more leftovers and sandwiches, and not spend so much money going out. I'm not 100% successful, but I'm not one to go cold-turkey on things either. Remember, I don't believe in going ON diets, but instead just making small changes to my current diet. The same holds true for my spending habits.
I know that moving out now will significantly hinder my finances. I've wanted a house since my teens when I first started buying dishes for my own place even though I was still living with my parents. I never wanted to rent, ever, so the fact that I'm still renting now annoys me. I'm starting to feel claustrophobic and I'm worried I'm going to start getting more and more bitchy as a result. I don't want to do that to my friends. I feel like I'm in a race for time without meaning to be.
-------
We didn't get our bonus checks at work this month because of low sales. I'm so frustrated at a couple of the techs. I know we didn't have a lot of calls last month, but I also know when certain techs aren't doing the job the way that they are supposed to be doing it in order to try and encourage sales. I don't budget for a bonus check, but I was hoping to get one to help cover the cost of the dining table I bought. It's not like I'm hurting for money because of not getting the bonus, but it does suck that I didn't get it.
-------
Speaking of job, I mentioned before my work frustrations. Yeah, that's not helping my mood one bit. I feel a bit like I'm in a downward spiral right now. I'm searching for the rope so that I can decide if I want to hang myself or use it to crawl back up. Haven't decided yet. (That's a joke.)
-------
I may be emotional, but I'm a natural survivor. I really don't know how to give up. The answer to, "Are you going to be okay?" is always, "I have to be." It may take a little time, but I'll get there.
This is me.

Week in Review
Jun. 17th, 2012 09:40 pm( I'm looking at houses. )
I swear, I will get caught up at work. It's driving me nuts how far behind I've managed to get. I'm still working to train a staff person to do my job so that maybe in the next couple months I could take an actual vacation and not have to be around for a week. I had someone trained, and then he got stolen from me. Grrrrrr. Oh, a vacation sounds so nice, but I don't think my brain would let me enjoy it until I was caught back up at work. I feel like I'm going insane with how far I've let myself get behind, and it's really starting to show in my work performance, which makes me doubly upset.
Today I got to spend a little time (~2hrs) with my youngest nephew, along with the other two nephews and my sister. He's now a year and a half, and I've spent maybe a week in total in his presence since he was born. So far he's not being shy with me. I don't really get to see him that often, mostly because Mom forgets to tell me when they have him for a weekend.
BD2 is back in jail. Apparently, he'd been staying with my parents, and during that time had been arrested twice. My parents are now making arrangements for his stuff to be picked up by the other grandparents. The other grandparents are no more surprised than I am when I hear things like my sister's been arrested. So, Sis is living with a couple guys in Mansfield rent free while basically keeping things clean for the two bachelors, and one of them runs a pawn shop and gave her a PC tablet at no charge. *glares* BD1 is out of jail, and was actually allowed to see the boys last weekend. And BD2 is in jail. Everyone clear?
Dad still doesn't care one lick about Father's Day. He says the whole concept is a load of crap. My dad makes me happy.
Class is class, and I'm getting better with my stick work. Woohoo.
I haven't been able to work on the cross stitch this week.
I've barely read any of the three books sitting on my night stand.
All-in-all, it's been a great week.

Tonight...
May. 30th, 2012 04:30 pmI go back to sleeping in my own bed after cat-sitting since Saturday evening. Her bed is quite comfy, and the sheets are soft, but I really miss my bedroom.
Last night I only got about 2 hours of sleep (by choice), and I've been rather successful at keeping my eyes open at work today, much to my surprise. Bossman treated my co-worker, the soon-to-be-franchise-owner from Austin, and me to Chef Point Cafe for lunch. I managed to talk him into splurging for the duck breast appetizer and the to-die-for bread pudding. I think I'll leave my lobster bisque leftovers here at work for lunch tomorrow. The container is sitting on top of a 12-pack of Shiner in the fridge. I wonder who brought beer to work? Actually - scratch that - I have a pretty good guess I know who did.
Speaking of alcohol, I really must consume some this evening.

Weekend Recap
May. 13th, 2012 10:45 pmFriday - class - We got to do some stick work which is always fun.
Saturday - I blessedly slept in, ran with Tom to get lunch, then rotated between listening in on Kev's RPG, reading, and starting up a cross stitch pattern given to me to try out to see if I can get back into that groove.
It's been approximately 20 years since I last worked on a cross stitch pattern. The last one was a full-sized Monopoly game board pattern that I never completed. I was a huge Monopoly fan, and I was tempted to save up and buy the Franklin Mint Monopoly board game, with gold- and silver-plated pieces. Instead, I purchased the cross stitch which I knew would still be a collector's item in it's own right, and I would have the satisfaction of making it myself, and it helped that it was significantly cheaper for a teenager to purchase. (Now that's a treasure chest.) It *might* still be somewhere at my parents' house, but I was pretty sure we sold the pattern off years ago at a garage sale. (As a consolation prize, I purchased the Monopoly Onyx Edition a couple years back to satisfy my lust of Monopoly awesomeness. This means I don't have to drag out my original Monopoly board quite so often now.)
My reason for quitting cross stitch? I hated making the knots every time I started and ended a new piece of thread, which was quite often. My reason for starting it back up? Holy crap! I don't have to make knots! Not only do I not have to make knots, but they're actually considered a no-no with cross stitching. This is information I could have used 20 years ago.
It took me a while to get back into getting organized and set up with a new kit, and making sure I felt comfortable with everything, but I got it started and the first small amount of one color done. I broke down today and purchased a cheap needle threader for when I have to deal with more than one strand at a time. I can thread a needle just fine, but I don't feel like arguing with it all day when it starts being stubborn.
Sunday - Well, I stayed up until 4am due to the gaming, so I had plans to sleep until noon, but my phone rang at 11:15 for work issues, so I got up and ran into work to take care of that. Back home, shower, then off to class. We spent a lot of time knocking each other down in various ways and then doing some knife work. My body's pretty sore now. I had cheese and wine and then dinner with Anthony. Afterwards I stopped by to pick up mail, say goodnight to the boys, and wish my mother a happy Mother's Day. She was nonchalant about it, as I expected her to be. Sis was there waiting to be picked up by her friends, so I got to listen to her tell me about one friend she's made who's a chemist and works to engineer eco-friendly pet-cleaning products. It's really horrible of me that my mind instantly wonders what other chemical substances he engineers , but that's because I know what kinds of friends my sister normally keeps. I haven't met him, so I have no idea, but I do know her track record.
Ugh - tomorrow's Monday. Bleh.

Poke in the eye
Dec. 9th, 2011 11:47 pmI'm covered in bruises, it hurts to breathe, and I managed to get poked in the eye during class today. Heh. The worst part is the eye, because it's now bruised and making my vision blurry, so much so that trying to read anything is giving me a headache. The drive home from class was fun. I also have an eye appointment scheduled for the 29th. I hope my eye gets back to normal by then.
Not So Busy Weekend
Nov. 28th, 2011 04:27 pmWed night - family Thanksgiving dinner

Happenings
Nov. 13th, 2011 10:15 amI had ample amounts of cheese and chocolate fondue last night with some friends over, and there's plenty of cheese and chocolate fondue and dippers left for tonight. I need to pick out a movie to hunker down with tonight.
We watched Metropolis last night after I got the urge from the comic strip that Eileen had posted a couple days ago. It was great. I had never seen it before, and I really had no idea what to expect. That movie blew me away. It was also quite fitting to watch given our current political climate.
I tried to watch Little Shop Of Horrors with the nephews Friday night, but my old DVD player that they now have at the house refuses to keep the tray in the bay anymore. I may have a spare one to give them to replace it. The boys are desperate to stay the night with me soon, but I think it's just so they can play on the Xbox. They're no longer interested in coming over to see the cats and dog now that they have cats and a dog of their own. I need to get video of the boys playing soccer with the dog. She's a border collie and a better soccer player than the boys are.
I was finally able to hire another staff person for our office to replace the person that got moved to our Dallas office a month and a half ago. She starts on Monday. I still have to get her trained, but I think this will help with the bulk of the stress I've been feeling recently. Maybe now my left eye will stop twitching every day like it's been doing for the past two weeks. We'll see.
My hair is burgundy once again, and the color change brings attention to how LONG my hair has gotten. I need to get about 3" cut off of it, as I haven't had a haircut since spring, and the ends are all badly split.

This Evening
Nov. 5th, 2011 12:02 amTom and Kevin played DJ in the living room using ALL THE SONGS that we have on our house server that can be played on the TV via the XBox360. I'm reminded that there's a bunch of songs I need to upload to that thing, and I still haven't lent Hugh Laurie's album to Kevin yet for him to rip and listen to. Oh yeah, and I was also reminded that I still have a 500MB and a 1TB drive to add to that server, this on top of the 500MB already in there and whatever sized drive Tom added to it. There's going to be sooooo much music. We discussed how the XBox360 needs a different interface like, oh, I don't know, Windows Media Player, perhaps???
I've just spent the past 7 hours on the couch, getting over a headache, reading, talking, hanging out, relaxing, eating. I can't believe I just spent 7 hours on the couch and didn't fall asleep, considering I only got 4 hours of sleep last night.
Tomorrow is helping with mom's garage sale followed by Kev's game. I need to remember to buy some wood glue on my way home.

I'm crawling out of my skin with boredom and waaaaay too much pent up energy. Listening to some Combichrist, now I want to go dancing - at 3pm in the afternoon on a Saturday, GAH!
Gonna go do a workout on the elliptical since it doesn't look like we'll be moving the roomy today. Afterwards, I'll get all washed up and prettied up for a wedding.
I really need to find some kind of distraction for this evening.

Quiet Rage
Sep. 9th, 2011 09:17 amI'm in a mood to destroy things. Strangely enough, I'm also very calm. I've been like this for a couple days now. I'm starting to recognize it as something I haven't felt in quite a long time, and it's a good feeling pushing out a lot of the angsty crap I've been feeling for who knows how long now. Making a list of similar-mood songs yesterday helped solidify this mood for me.
( Shooting, and piano, and hiking, oh my )
I just know that I really need to find an outlet for this. I miss that feeling quite terribly.

I Got Burned
Jul. 17th, 2011 10:35 amDamned Death Orb refuses to acknowledge even when I have put on sun screen a few times. It's nowhere near as bad as it could be, so that's good.
Friday night was some usual suspects hanging around playing Fallout 3.
Yesterday was my eldest nephew's pool party for his birthday, and we were there for 4 hours. Afterwards was some nice chill (sic) time on the porch of Flying Saucer in downtown Fort Worth with friends, followed by cooling off at Barnes & Noble.
I wanted to purchase the LEGO Architecture: Fallingwater, but they wanted $90 for it. Even the Guggenheim Museum was still $40. I think someone at LEGO thought these pieces were made of gold and silver or something.
Today is class followed by dinner and socializing with friends.
Wednesday night I have a dinner date planned, and a movie night tentatively planned for later in the week with another friend, probably next weekend.
My room is starting to become a mess again, but I've been too preoccupied to deal with it.
( Girly TMI stuff )

Li'l Update
Jul. 14th, 2011 11:09 amI had an nice time out visiting friends last night after having dinner at Tolbert's in Grapevine to celebrate our current other-live-in-possibly-soon-to-be-housemate Mike getting a job.
I left at a good time, didn't have any issues with drinking too much, but was still horribly tired.
At 3am this morning I started having another stomach migraine, which lasted a good 2-3 hours. I called in to work this morning, but am about to go grab my shower and head in for the afternoon shift and cover for lunches. I'll make up the lost time by working over my usual shift. It should be nice and quite then, I'll feel better, and I'll hopefully be able to get a lot of work done.
-------------------------------------
When I went to respond to a FB event invite this morning I noticed Smokey showing online in the FB chat.
Yep, he's back home in Australia now and already asking when I'll be coming to visit. One of his best friends that I made friends with while we were dating isn't doing so great. If nothing else, that's a good enough reason to try and start saving up for a visit. I'd like to meet all the great people that I became friends with via Smokey, and be able to see Charm again with her new beau and house. This is going to require some tight money crunching. I'm pretty strapped as it is and don't have any vacation time from work until next March. If anything, I really would love to have Christmas in summer at least one time in my lifetime. That would be nice.

Home. Fed. Sleepy. Leg cramp finally went away when they knocked me under - it only took 4.5 hours for that. Seriously, that leg cramp has been THE WORST PART about the entire past 24 hours. Everything else was smooth sailing.
I go pass out now.
I go pass out now.
Of course, why not?
May. 9th, 2011 03:39 am3:00am and I'm having the worst leg cramps I've had in a while. I'm not supposed to have any water or Ibuprofen, so I'm more than a bit miserable at the moment. Oh, and forget about the whole sleep thing. My body bruising is so extensive from class that no single way of laying down doesn't somehow manage to press on at least three bruise spots.
At this point I cannot wait to get back home after surgery just so that I can take medicines and Benadryl and oh, anything else I can think of just so that I can knock myself out and get some good sleep.

My happy ass gets to wake up at 4:30am for a procedure that isn't scheduled until 7:15am. Bleh.
I went to class today - SOOOOOO sore. I hope the nurses don't care too much about all the bruises. The next couple of weeks are no exercise, no being thrown in class, and no sex. I need to remember to ask if I can go swimming, or at least be able to veg in the pool.
I'm tempted to not wear a bra to the hospital, but that always feels weird to me if I'm not in the comfort of my own pj's at home.
Oh, and I must remember to tell mom happy belated mother's day since she's doing exactly what mother's ought to do and taking care of her baby years after it's warranted. She rocks.
Ok, hot shower time and then death for the next 24 hours.
I went to class today - SOOOOOO sore. I hope the nurses don't care too much about all the bruises. The next couple of weeks are no exercise, no being thrown in class, and no sex. I need to remember to ask if I can go swimming, or at least be able to veg in the pool.
