You’re better off this…you’re better off this…

Lately, I’ve been really blegh. I don’t want to talk about it. Read the rest of this entry »
Mmmmm. Popcorn. I choke on popcorn. Have done so thrice so far. But is yummy. Worth it. Will probably gain 30 pounds, but Sooooo yum.

So, today was fun. Got off work and went to Kayla’s. Helped her load the 10 Guniea Pigs and a Rat into the Jetta and went off to the vet. Spent a good hour there, with the piggehs getting their care and Jane (her rat) getting diagnosed and treated. Everything is going well for now. The apartment is a little messed because she had to use the laundry baskets for the piggehs and the kitchen is needing me to do the dishes. Other than that, life with Kayla is decent to my knowledge.

Today was a decent day. No hallucinations that I could tell. Of course, if there were, I couldn’t tell, right? (Yes, I’m in a fairly good mood.) My kids are becoming more obnoxious by the day. Luciene decided to go play with Amaris after she went to bed tonight. He got a spanking, and looked terrified. I felt awful, but sometimes a firm spanking is what’s needed, right? Right? Riiiiight? .sigh. I hate disciplining my children.

Luciene is potty training, and I coverd it in my twitter, but it really didn’t do him justice. I had him in the house without a diaper today, and he was doing really well to remember going to the potty.
Except, you see, we have this large, wooden toybox in the living room. He was playing in the front of it, pulling toddler-sized puzzle pieces out of it while his sister was clamboring around the back for a stuffed toy. Just as she found it, and was begining to stand up, her shoulder caught the edge of the lid, which came down with alarming speed. Now, I wasn’t worried because there is a locking metal hinge on the front that, by nature of gravity, catches on the front of the box and stops it from closing by about 1 and a quarter inches.
Wouldn’t you know that this was the ONE time it didn’t catch! Yep. Penis got caught in the trunk’s lid on the way down. He turned this ghostish color of white, and I swear youhe didn’t make a sound at first. He stood there for the longest moment, and I froze. I know that pain, and the visual hit me almost as hard as it hit him. He collapsed, and that’s when I finally broke it to grab him and hold him. When he finally felt safe again, he began crying. Not screaming and bawling, just crying. Poor kid. He’s fine now – not su much as a bruise that I could tell.

I got off work this morning to a call from Ivy. She let me know that my children had gotten out of bed early, left their rooms, went downstairs and wreaked havoc. My son, Luciene, decided to get into the medicine cabinet and help himself and Amaris to some ‘candy’. .sigh. Then they took a full bottle of syrup from the kitchen cabinet and dumped it all over everything. It must have been a blast, because it was on the floor, the counter, the couches, the chairs, and pretty much anything 3 feet high or lower.
.applaud.
So, today we went to home depot and picked up some plates. We were going to remove the handles from the door on one side, and put up a door-plate to cover the hole on the other side. Not possible as the plates don’t match-up correctly. .sigh. So maybe another night of this happening. Sara was really scared when she called me. Read the rest of this entry »
At least it’s not West Nile, right? Been puking and sniffling and sore and aching and generally non-plesant for the last 36 hours. This cough is the worst – it actually brought me to the floor, my poor abs were wretching so hard. My fever topped out at 105.3 F (That’s 40.72 C for the rest of the world. Stupid American Standards). Been up and down since.

Went to work like this last night, and BOY WAS THAT FUN! From about midnight to 5 AM, I was an invalid. After about 5, my body went numb, and my mind finally defogged a little. Made my sales last night, but something odd happened.
I had been sitting at my desk for about 15 minutes without a call, so I hit ‘Not Ready,’ selected ‘Break,’ and went to my break. I set my alarm on my phone for 15 minutes, and went to the breakroom to take a nap. My alarm went off, and I hit snooze, thinking I would just come back late now and not take a second break.

My new supervisor is Cool people so far. His name is Richard Enright. He took the time to explain sales to me, and while I disagree with some of the ethics behind how it is done, I am willing to try it. I am always willing to try new things. If I still disagree with the ethics after a few trials, then I will stop. No harm done, right?
Gods, I hate sales.

I am miserable tonight. I believe that the crap my family had last week has finally made it’s rounds to my immune system. Combine that with pet-dander, and BAM! Insta-sick. Pucking, Coughing (The kind where people think you have the plague), sneezing, a nose that would give Rudolph a run for a his money, pounding brainpan – like monkeys on a submarine, pressure equivalent to a a pack of rhinos parading through my sinues, runny eyes, and an inability to say anything without a drone that makes me sound more like my welsh roots. (Irony, no?) I swear, there is a stampede of wild animals in the form of bacteria and viruses dancing an irish jig on my auto-immune system.
I would call into work today, but I have no time left, thanks mostly in part to my family being sick previously. That is called dramatic irony, only I do know what is going on – which makes it (arguably) true irony. Not irony like in that Damned Alanis Morisette song: There was no actual irony in that. Irony as in When the reader is aware of an inconsistency between a fictional or nonfictional character’s perception of a situation and the truth of that situation. But for you that don’t follow this line of thought – I apologize: I am medicated right now.
Kayla is convinced it is solely allergies at this point. Wish I could show her that it probably isn’t.

Monica said Hi to me today. Long time, no talk. Well, she actually just sent me a message with a woman who had her head in the toilet being reamed from behind that said, “I told you to clean that toilet!”
I was amused. Not that I’m sexist, it was just amusing coming from her. A liberal feminist sending that to a friend is always amusing. Glad I know it was a movie setup. Don’t ask. Please don’t ask.

Blegh. That is enough for now. Time to go assplode again.

Oh, and Sara went out tonight. Grandma caused an issue about this. Will tell all later.
Recipe at the end of the Journal! Yum!

The last few days have been uneventful. I spent “my” weekend with the people I care for, and my kids. It’s funny, really. I wasn’t supposed to see them this weekend, but I just couldn’t bear to be away from them.

This would happen to be yesterday’s blog. Oops.

So, today was pretty damn spiffy. Got off work. I was supposed to sleep but instead went to help get lemons. Turned out that all the lemons were already gone. .sad. After the disappointment, traversed to the doctor to pickup a prescription and dropped by a local Chinese place. Took everything back to the apartment and ate vegie-rice with the girl. YUM!
Slept on and off for a few hours, and finally settled down around 3-ish, only to receive messages and calls telling me that I was late for my kiddos. D’oh! Headed to Queen Creek, played with my kids. Took a shower and headed back into town.

Phedraspaz is not here tonight. She’s on vacation. We are losing the Mighty Cory Jacobs to another shift. Good news is I can now take him out for a drink without violating company policy. Bad news is he is no longer my supervisor. I made my sales for the period, with one day to spare. This is a good sign. I have been SO worried and stressed it was freaking me out. Legos have a big affect on me, and as such, I will begin to post pictures of creations again.

Sara went out on a date tonight. The kid is a weirdo. He texts in a foreign language. Example: “u 1to me puk” meaning, “You want me to pick you up?” Only, he never stops, and that was an easy one. She says he’s cute, though. Hopefully that accounts for something. That, and she said he is getting attached. They hadn’t even gone on a date and he’s attached? Can someone say, “Waaaah! My ex left me and I don’t know how to cope with it because I’m co-dependent and have accompanying low self-esteem issues?” Oh, and he’s 21. I hope he’s good in bed. Bitter-sweet, this taste is.

Lila, the dumb dog, is a good kid. Crunch and Emmy seem to be doing a vast amount better, now that they are ball-less wonders. Luciene got a haircut from mommy that turned out quite well, and Amaris can’t sit still so I honestly don’t think that a professional stylist could have done much better.

Sara made an offer I couldn’t refuse. .grin. Move along, nothing to see here…
