Time	Event
11:06a	04- 25- 2005 Today is going fairly well. I went to bed before midnight last night, which is a big deal for me. I've seemed to have inherited my mothers "night owl" habit that I grew up with. Funny thing is i usually goto bed around the same time as I remember her doing as a child (about 2 am, occasionally 3 am). I had to be up before 9 am today to take the car insurance payment (which was due yesterday, Sunday). I managed to get there by 9:30 am. I came back and messed with trimming my hair. I so want it shorter! But I can only trim it myself, I'm not that good to give myself a new look, lol. As far as me being sick, this cough is still hanging on and so is the sinus thing. I am down to one day of meds left. I will probably got the clinic for another re-check soon. I just want to make sure its out of my lungs. I feel a slight tightness in my chest in the mornings but it goes away as soon as the first decongestant of the day takes effect. I had to go with the manager yesterday to do the final deposit. I always like when they pick me to go with them. It makes me feel important. I used to like this manager then I thought he was two faced about everything (he about 5-7 years my junior). Lately, maybe since I had been gone on vacation then sick, he's been really nice to me. I mean he was anyway's before but I re-thinking his two-face ness. I know he likes me as an employee, I've never questioned that. I am hoping that I can move up in the place. I know they are considering me for the assistant office manger position that's coming up next month. There's one other girl that they are considering also. I've not pursued this with whole heart only because I thought the other girl would get it but the "going to be new" office manager has already told me that she would rather have me because I am older and more responsible. The other girl is only 21 or 22 and she's in the partying stage of life. Deep inside I really hope they pick me but I try not to think about it because I don't want the disappointment if I don't get it. If asked I would take it in a heartbeat! For those that may read me I work in a grocery store in the cash office, and I really like what I do. I could do without the many crappy customers we tend to deal with but overall its fun and layed back. We've heard it all in complaints, lol. I would never think of complaining about some of the things I've heard. Would you complain about what kind of music a store plays? Every kind of music we've played has gotten a complaint. Its nothing vulgar or obscene. Its every day music. Old classics, soft rock, country, 70`s, 80`s, classical...you name it we've heard a complaint on it, lmao. Its hilarious. On the way to pay the insurance I was listening to talk radio. They were talking about sex offenders and where they live. Do you know if you live near one? It was amazing to listen to the callers who called into the show. This government needs to keep track of these people better than they do now. Heres some helpful sites to look at and see if your affected. http://www.e-national-alert-registry.com/ http://www.nationalalertregistry.com/index5.shtml?source=google&kw=offender_registry http://childsafenetwork.org/net/front?pt=cj1483660&o=100 http://www.stopsexoffenders.com/statelistings.shtml Stay safe, until next time, Linda How disappointing is that. I look at the sites I give out and you get told how many are in your area but you have to pay to get the picture and names and addresss. Thats pityful. It should be a free service! That pisses me off! Ugh!!!!!! Linda Current Mood: chipper Current Music: tv- peoples court in the background. (1 Comment | Comment on this)
10:15p	I`m rambling on and on and on......... This is so- so becuz that's how I`m feeling now. I don't feel sick but I don't feel great. I wish this crap would just leave. I went ahead and took the codiclear tonight, but I didn't want to. I didn't take it last night and woke up okay but coughing. So I figured I should maybe still take it a few more days. I also don't work tomorrow so hopefully I can maybe sleep in some. I should but I dunno. Not to change the subject but.... Sometimes if I get to sleep in I wake up to the dogs howling in their area. I love it. When they were pups we would get them to howl then give them treats for doing it so sometimes now when they want a treat they all of a sudden start to howl and then when their finished they run over to their treats and wait for you... They are hilarious howlers too. Our female (Lady is her name) sounds like she's dieing or shrieking very loudly and strangely. Our Male (Duke is his name) grunts and does some other wild noises while howling. Its something I always enjoyed listening to with them. I will have to figure out how to post pictures sometime and show you. We got them both from the pound so yes they are really pound puppies. I saw the female on the local web site and I had known she was on there for awhile so I had my mind set on getting her cuz I was afraid they were gonna put her to sleep soon if she wasn't adopted. She had huge ears that went straight up in the air. So we went and looked and saw Duke, who was big and clunky with some huge feet (I had forgotten about what big feet on a dog meant becuz he was so adorable) They are both mixes. She looks like a shepherd mix and he looks like a cross between a hound and a saint bernard (could you imagine that? lmao). They are now about 3 years old, that's only an educated guess from the vet and the weights on them are Lady 50 pds Duke 85 pds. So you can imagine the amount of dog food we go thru, lol. When we got duke we discovered that he must've been an abused dog. The pound told us he was found with a red collar on. His maine under his neck was all stained red, it took awhile to get out. He also has a very hard time with men, more so than women. He's very protective with us and I never worry about the kids being home alone with him there. But he has bitten one person, a friend. And he has tried to bite quite a few others. Including the vet. So they cautioned him on his card. Which means in order for him to be seen by them he is required to be wearing a muzzle. So the vet told us just to be really careful with him around people outside of us. He seems to be getting better with age I think. He still however wont allow anyone in the house other than us. When someone comes over we have to either put them out or put them in their "area". Which is the laundry room. I forgot to tell you about our couch when we got back from Florida. We had been looking at couches at the salvation army before we left but I never found one I liked. I hated our couch. The dogs had torn it up, I sewed it. It ripped again. I gave up. I talked on and on about how I wanted to get rid of it. So my hubby, while we were gone, got rid of it. Needless to say I hadn't expected that. We now have no couch and have camping chairs throughout our living room, lmao. Its a sight to see! But I am glad to have finally gotten rid of it, I just would like to sit on something comfortable in the living room every so often. I cant lie down and watch tv anymore, unless I want to be on the floor with the dogs, which would make me fair game for the dogs. With me being sick I've spent a lot of time in my room in my comfy bed. Well I'm guessing the codiclear is working now becuz I have no idea why I've talked about what I've talked about, lmao. Janet, as far as things about Lisa.. Lets see, maybe she can post something about us going mudding in her mothers station wagon (we really tore that vehicle up) .... How about it Lisa? **smiling** Thanks for reading me, Linda Current Mood: so-so Current Music: tv- everybody loves raymond (2 Comments | Comment on this)
