Nothing new really to report here.

Just been stressing over life and the upcoming summer and the current news of deaths of people I have met isn’t helping. I go to the local news online where I grew up every so often, but rarely do I click on the obituaries, but for some reason I did today and I see a guy I went to school with was killed Monday in a car wreck, so I personally knew 2 people whose lives ended Monday and 3rd in the past 5 days.

Matt was a cool guy, my age, very laid back, always wore blue jeans, a white t-shirt and a jean jacket, he and I had a lot of laughs together in class and a few times outside of school, we did hang in different crowds but I did like him, he was 4-5“ taller then me which was rare in HS and he was a white guy whose air was naturally curly, so when it grew out, it was totally a fro which in the late ‘80s wasn’t the “cool thing” but he didn’t care, he had a fro, which for a Indiana hick in the late 80’s was pretty daring.

So I have been spending too much time thinking of the past this week, way too much time, and when you think of the past, odds are it will make you think of death, so I have had death on my mind WAY too much as well and I am pretty sure I have other things I need to focus on.

I ran some test on a stupid side project I want to do, so I needed to test the power capabilities of a few items while they was plugged into a power outlet in the car, so last night I run these test, see what I wanted to see, unplugged it from the truck, turn off the truck and come inside. Today, Pauline tries to go to work and finds a completely dead battery. Thankfully we have AAA and they came out to jump it for free, but the kid told me the battery was shot, so I now had to drop off a already hour late Pauline to work and drive to Sears which is in the bad traffic part of town during lunch hour.

Road rage was close to happing, since I got cut off twice once by a woman who was in a left turn lane when she decide she wanted to cut me off and get in front of me, but I was at a red light, so she forced herself into front of me but kept the back of her truck in the left turn lane and I got to sit there watching this fool sit on her ass blocking traffic and chat on a cell as at least 3 cars behind me was honking their horns for the full 2 minutes it took for my light to go green… 4 horns if you count mine.

Turned out the battery test ok, but this is where it gets interesting, I know we had a Diehard battery, Toni knows we had a Diehard battery… the battery in the truck wasn’t a Diehard battery…. Hmmm…… so where in the last 7 years has this battery gone? Anyway, since we both thought we had a Diehard I spent the $109 to get a Diehard. Everything else looked ok, and hopefully when it is time to go pick Pauline up, it will start… in fact, let me go test it. Yep, starts, at least something went right today.

How Do I Feel?: blah blah

I Hurt

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. =(

Getting a Few Things Done

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.

Tomorrow is a work day and have more things that I want to get done before heading to bed.

Feet Issues

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 :

Hello Blogging World

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 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
