soon....

Christmas is right around the corner, and I am in big trouble!  No decorations yet.  I haven't sent any cards.  And I'm not going to.  Christmas gifts?  Well, I think I'm done....  The tree was supposed to go up yesterday.  Pfft.  Didn't happen.  Bah Humbug! 

I keep seeing this guy throw shoes at the president, over and over.  I only watch the news for a short time in the morning before I go to work, but I have seen this video 5-6 times in the last 15 mins.  He ducks well.

Today is my first "late" day at work.  It could be any time between 5:30 and 9:00, we never know.  If I disappear completely, you will know where I got buried at.  That's all.

early morning thoughts

I just checked....I am the only one on this website atm. Wow! I guess I am up early today. Nothing unusual....early morning insomnia strikes again. And a headache. Again.

It seems I have slipped back into the rut of real life once again. I don't particularly like it here. It's dull and uncomfortable.

I took hubby to a party with my nurse friends and hubbies/sig others last night. He mingles well. He actually disappeared for quite a while getting into those conversations that I hate so much. At least he had the opportunity to talk at others, instead of me. I, on the other hand, was having a huge attack of social anxiety. It feels a little like claustrophobia (sp?), at least last night it did. The house was small, but then, so was the party. The hostess is very loud. It's just her nature. And, she likes to be the center of attention. That's ok. But, for at least the first half hour I was having a bit of a panic attack cuz I felt crushed and could hear all these voices, especially hers, bouncing off the walls and inside my head. A glass of wine helped some. And, finding a corner with my back to the wall helped a little more. Man, I am sooooo glad I didn't have that experience at the LAN. Wide open spaces help, even if there are monitors and gamers all over the place. Altho, I did need to escape the noise now and then.....

Question of the Day: Why?????

Answer:  Because!

more nothin'

I woke up with a headache this morning.  Again.  I have put off doing many of the things I should do to get ready for Christmas.  Bah Humbug!  I just don't seem to have the time for much, these days.  Gaming has sorta gone down the tubes.  Yeh, I'm still playing, can't help myself.....  But, so much less.  I have to go shopping this morning.  Yes, I HAVE to!  I would rather chew nails.    And, I have to make something for a party I am going to tonight.  Not a big deal, but....  On the bright side, my 46" LCD flat screen super cool HDTV arrived yesterday.  Hubby's comment?  Yeh, it does look small all the way across the room like that.  He can see the negative on anything at all!  I did tell him wherever that TV goes, so does the xbox.  I think he thought I was kidding.  So, will he settle for the 32" and help me move the new one upstairs?  Maybe......

Everyone is so busy this time of year.  I have been missing some of you.  I luv to read your blogs and hear about your lives.  Just sayin....

Since I am also busy, and have a lot to do, I guess......that's all!

hmmmmm

ho-hum

There is nothing new and interesting in my life, so there is not much to say this morning.  Ya, I know, there's always something.  I am just up early, paying some bills, checking this website, twiddling my thumbs cuz I really don't have enuf time to actually get into anything before I go to work.....  I'm having my alone time.  I like it.  I can think, try to solve the problems of the world, or, better yet, my own.  I can diligently crochet on the afghan.  Yes, Sweet Thang, it's coming along nicely!  And I can contemplate on where I go from here.  At this time I am sorta stagnant, having gotten back into the rut of work, eat, sleep, rinse and repeat.  I have to figure out how to do things like go to the bank.  Huh!  I am my son's representative payee, which means I handle all of his money, such as it is.  He is mentally handicapped, sorta, and lives in a group home in Michigan.  Well, I am the only one that has access to his account, and I can't get to the bank!  Ya, they want the picture ID and all that stuff.  So, I tried transferring from his account to mine.  Oh man!  I didn't think I could do that, but, I did.  Now, the bank problem is solved.  Whew.

It is time for me to start thinking about what I want for Christmas.  Prolly past time.  But, I am already getting the A-1 cool HDTV.  What I really want, I can't have, so the TV is it, I guess.  I'm getting too dam old to care anymore, anyways.  And, you?  I was just saying "hi"....really!  That's all.
