12:34p | This is messed up. I woke with a headache. I've had an intermittent one for two days. Anyway, when I woke, it was on the right side of my head, in the front. It's since moved to the left side, in the front, moved to the back, disappeared, then started again on the right side, in the front. Currently it's moving to the center of my stupid head. I'm gonna see if it disappears and comes back again. If it does, I'm taking the icky Tylenol. Not putting up with this anymore. Current Mood: pained |

12:57p | I feel sickened by this day. Sickened by the nearly overwhelming drumbeat of consumerism. I have this feeling that I'm failing by not getting up at 4 am and standing in line at some store just to buy something I don't need. All the ads that have come my way, and the emails in my inbox, all telling me stuff is on sale, great prices, don't lose out, etc., all contributing to this nearly primal urge to go shopping. But... There are only a handful of items I truly want. And I just don't do mornings well. Which was why I went to bed at 1:30 this morning, and did not get up early to join the rat race. In fact, I reject the rat race. Phooey on it all! Current Mood: distracted |

12:26p | The Wheel of PMS I had this idea many many moons ago (get it?? moons. HA!). Image the wheel of fortune, but instead of $$ in the pieces of pie, there are PMS symptoms. Once a month, the Great Cosmic Leveller (aka God, Kharma, whomever you choose) spins the wheel three times for each woman. whatever the little pointer sticks on is your PMS symptom of the month. Here is an idea of how some of the categories on the wheel of PMS are laid out: Bloating, headache/migraine, bloating, cramps, bloating, zits/breakouts, bloating, uncontrollable crying, bloating, constant hunger/cravings, bloating, anger, bloating, depression, bloating, swelling/painful breasts, bloating, paranoia, bloating. The GCL has rolled my 3 early this month. The lucky winners are painful boobs, weird cravings, and anger. This wonderful combination has earned me an free extra spin in which the ever present bloating crawled onboard. |

10:58a | Is it too early? Is it too early to put Christmas music on my iPod? I'm feeling moved by the Christmas spirit, but not to actually accomplish anything, just to be happy. It's a start, I think. |

11:12p | My breakouts have been out of control the past week and a half. Really really bad, and right about the time I started using the RM cleanser. I'm not sure if that's the culprit, but I've gone back to using the PC cleanser, and hope that clears my face. I've been using the Blemish Therapy twice a day, every day, for about two weeks or so, and it's definitely helping. I put it on a spot at night, and in the morning, that spot is deflated and much less red. No irritation or rebound effect, like with benzoyl peroxide. I hate that the Coumadin makes everything take so much longer to heal. I'll be glad to finally stop taking it. Started the RM night treatment a few days ago. So far I have not seen any change, but I'll keep using it until either it's gone or I have a problem with it. Not sure if I'll buy another, but it's still early yet. I can always Ebay some more. Went to Walnut Creek Thursday night, for the pre-sell doohickey. Picked up Sweet Decadence and a lip liner. I wanted to want something else, but I simply have nearly everything the boutique has that works on my coloring. I simply do not want anything else. I want to want Ultimate Indulgence, Pure Pleasures, and Bare Pleasures, but I only want one or two from all of that. Don't even need those, as it is, just want a couple backups, and am nowhere near close to running out of what I have already. I think I've reached the saturation point. Haha I hope they can come up with something good early next month, so I can use my discount, or it will go to waste. But, then, there is the F&F sale, hopefully, which has a better discount, so I might just get whatever I want then, and to heck with the other discount. The Princess is doing as well as can be expected. None of us are happy about having to give her fluids. She does not like being stuck with a needle, the man does not like sticking her, I sympathize with both, yet have to hold her down. She's a very intelligent cat, and catches on quickly. I fully expect her to start hiding around 9 pm in a few days. Well, at least she doesn't yelp or cry. If she did that, I think the man would just stop doing it. He feels bad enough about it as it is. Ok, that's all I feel like yapping about tonight. Current Mood: disturbed |

3:45p | December Wedding Bells? I figured it wouldn't be long and my child would be marrying the airman. However, I was a little shocked to find out that somewhere between December 20th to the 30th she would be getting married!!! lol I think she is going to wait to enroll for the spring semester because they will be going to his first place of station after AIT. I don't know exactly how the Air Force works but I know a little about the Army. Plus, it's been a long time since my sister was a military wife. There's is talk that he may go to Japan. They both are so excited about that being a possibility. I think it would be good for both of them. She can take classes on line through the base. I'm not suppose to know because he is going to call and ask us, the parents, if he can marry our daughter. My baby. She's all grown up and leaving the nest and I have no idea where to start. I don't know what she wants to do or him either regarding the wedding or if they are doing and eloping thing. I just want to make sure they get a wedding shower type thing because they are going to need so much. Current Mood:  calm |

7:09a | is your family as eff'd up as mine?? this is a blog I've been working on and off for the last 2 weeks. Portions keep getting deleted, and I have to rewrite. Dammit. Happier blog to follow, I promise: ******************** It's been awhile, and I've actually typed out an update, but it was lost the winds of cyberspace, and I was disgusted, and decided not to go through it all again at that time. But I find myself with a few minutes so let's try it again, shall we?? The Family Drama...I swear someone needs to pay me mega bucks for my ongoing family shite, people can't make this stuff up! In the last few weeks... ~I had a major falling out with my grandmother, who's selfishness and self-centered-ness was raised to new heights in the past month or so. I actually told her that her doings came off as attention seeking. Wow, did that piss her off. I felt she needed to hear it, otherwise I wouldn't have said it. Everything she does is selfish, and she hurts other people's feelings to get her way. I'm laying low with her for a couple of weeks till she cools down. ~My mother's company is closing down the plant that my mother works at. Being the in the office, she would have been able to stay on well into the next year before her job was cut. But then, this week, fate twisted in the form of what I believe is company politics, money grubbing, and my mother's stupidity. She got fired. The details are still hazy, but my opinion is that they wanted to let my mom go early because she'd been with the company for so long, the severance package and accumulated vacation time that they would have had to pay her would have been a nice hunk of change. Anyone else would have walked on eggshells and been a model employee until the job was finished, in order to get that severance, vacation pay, and eventually unemployment. Not my mom. They caught her in a minute detail, and she tried to lie to save herself, and it didn't work. I am conflicted on how to deal with her on this. Do I be all hard and angry at her, because it's her own fault (like she did with me my first 25 years of life)? Can I actually do the sympathy bit, and come off as believable? (I doubt it). ~ My sister, thankfully isn't in any trouble at the moment, or if she is, she's not telling me. I am sure I don't want to know anyway. ~I felt bad that my MIL was going to be alone at Christmas, so I told DaHubby to invite her to come, if she could afford the tickets. Ha! She'd have moved heaven and earth to get the tickets even if she didn't have the money! I should have know better. Anyway, in order to lower the cost of said tickets, she's traveling on Xmas day, getting here in the middle of the afternoon. That's moderately irritating, but that's Gail. I'm happy she won't be alone, but I know that getting her in here is going to disrupt any family partying that's going to be happening. but you know what? Who gives a shit? The family's in the shitter anyway. the MIL just adds that certain extra flavor to the mix. Heh. I really need to start writing down more of the details so that I can write a novel. People love to read about other whacked out families. Mines got to be entertaining enough...huh? ~Lastly in the depressing blog, DaHubby and I have decided to shut down the business. It sucks, because this summer, we were making it - actually making a profit on a new business. Then the economy fell into the toilet early in the fall. Places on Rich's route started closing or laying off employees - who owed us money - and we just can't afford to ride it out. We sank a lot of money and credit into this business, and we just have to work out some way to pay it off. And he's got to get a job. If not two. And I've been thinking about getting a 2nd job, too. Now's the right time, with Christmas and all, I'm just not sure that my legs are up to standing for 4 hours a night doint retail. But I do think it would be fun working Xmas rush at Bath and Body Works again. Anyway. That's it. I'm done. I needed to get crap out of my system, and now I'm going to attempt to get into the Xmas spirit. With no gifts, because none of us can afford it. LOL. |

1:55p | I've been screwing up left and right all week. Constantly. I forgot to enter a paid bill when I paid it, drove last night with no seatbelt. have played chicken all week with the mailman, and finally had to ask the man to mail stuff for me, just to make sure it actually got out! I've been extremely distracted, and not sure why. Feeling pressure and stress, but not sure where it's coming from, other than the prospect of applying for a job. Something's not right here, but I don't know what it is. Current Mood:  stressed |

11:22p | I have a headache that just came on. Hurts very much bad. Hate these, they suck. I don't want to move the cat, but will have to do so. Must take something for it or it will be a migraine very quickly, and I'll end up on the bathroom floor, puking my guts out and moaning. Oh, thank gawd, she got down on her own! Off to gulp some Tylenol. |
