What a lazy day for me. I love it. lol. Sometimes it's important to actually allow yourself to take a day and do nothing earth shakingly important. *grins*
Feel enough better afer Thursday that I'm leaning towards agreeing that stress could have played a large factor in getting so ill feeling. Not all of it, but pushed the physical sickness waaaay over the edge. Cuz now it's back to the sniffles and the fairly low level headache/aches like normal. So, need to learn how to deal with some of the stress instead of just internalizing it like I always do. Maybe actually go see the doctor next year. That, and a much needed vacation here in a few months. That part I'm truly looking forward to enjoying! ^_^
Tried to send the cutest ever card, but now they require payment. And somehow instead of paying for the right section...got a different one and I can't log into the right section. ARGH. So, now, I have to CALL them up and see if they can switch it for me, or if I have to cancel service and there and actually rejoin at the other place (that looks like it was together! ARGH). Downright confusing and frustrating. But, I dearly, dearly love that card and want to send it. So, shall do that here in a bit and see if I can get it straightened out. Then I can share with friends. Yay!
You know what I hate? When you want to write something down, but when you get to the computer you have forgotten exactly what that was that you wanted to say. Blergh.
The subject line is a neat little quote from Steven Brusts' Jhereg. I am enjoying this book so far. Reminds me of the Myth, Inc books vaguely, but certainly not exactly. This is much more serious, just that type of fantasy, I guess. Though, the Myth, Inc books are just hysterical with their puns and all. This isn't like that. Anyway, I'm not that far into it yet, but it's a great read so far. Got the first three books in the series. :o)
Got to see H & the baby today. He is soooo adorable. Slept the whole time he was here and we weren't being very quiet! LOL. The kitties aren't sure what to make of the wee one yet. They'll adjust just fine though. And it was absolutely terrific to get to visit with her. Missed her. (Geeee, you'd think it'd been more than a week and a half since we've seen each other!! LOL. But, when you're used to talking to someone all the time, that's forever!) *G*
What is the deal with all the animal abusing jerks out there?? There's been lots of reports on the news lately about it, and it sucks. I am not a violent person, but I think I'd quite happily kill someone if I saw them doing something awful to an animal. I hate that. *glowers*
I've been having a hard time actually falling asleep lately, so since today was Saturday I figured I'd test out the theory of staying up until I couldn't keep my eyes open, and then going to bed. hehe. Worked fairly well, since I fell asleep without much tossing around and didn't sleep in too terribly late either. However, I've not exactly been a fireball today. *G* But that could just be the normal 'aahhhh, do I really want to go out and about? nnaaahhh, not really...' mood that I get. I am working on that feeling, just not necessarily today. :o)
The Pack had it's year anniversary this weekend. That is soooo cool. We've been posting together for a year now and are still going strong. It is soooo very cool to actually meet and remain friends with a group of people you love as friends. Wish they didn't all live on the East Coast though! Argh. Oh well. They're great online friends, and if all goes well I will be able to go meet some of them in October. Yayayyaay!!! I'm so excited about it I think I'm going to keel over way before October gets here. lol.
The insurance adjuster or whoever is supposed to be calling about my truck hasn't called yet. So, gotta call them next week if I haven't heard from them. Figure with the holiday and all, they may just be slower, so I'll give them til Friday...probably. Just have to get the okay from them before I can even schedule getting it fixed, and then have to work that around work matters...argh. Just minor details. Sure. Oh well, at least it will get taken care of. Don't think I'd get it fixed without the insurance. At least, not all of it.
Found some really cute pics from Monsters, Inc, so I made user pics out of them. heh. I love this, even though I have a hard time manipulating the pics to be that small. Finally, finally hit upon the print screen as a viable option to get a smaller pic though. hehe. Managed to get two wolf pics with using that option. Yay!
Guess what!! The tv has not even been turned ON since Monday night. Can you believe that??? (Course, it definitely helps that everything's reruns!! lol). Nice to just have music on and not get overloaded with commercials and flashing lights and stress and all that jazz. Nice break, I mean. I have no intention whatsoever of killing my tv. :D
*sigh* I think for this next year I need to set myself some goals. I've never been a real good goal-making person...they're either too vague or too "do it all at once", y'know? But I've done some things this year that I've always wanted to do, even if they're sorta small things, and have things set up for next year. So, I figure, if I make some actual written statements or something about some things I'd like to do next year, or some things I'd like to work on changing about myself, then maybe I'd actually work on getting them done instead of just thinking 'man, i wish i could _____' and not really accomplishing anything in the attaining of said goal. That's part of the reason I went ahead and finally signed up for here...to get more comfortable with speaking what's inside of me, even if it's just to myself half the time. lol. I wouldn't say that I'm a self deceiver, simply more of a self avoider. And I'm coming to the conclusion that is not a very good thing. Maybe not a huge, horrible, bad thing - but it's not a good thing either. I simply want to enjoy myself more, I guess. Instead of always getting so knotted up about what everyone else might be thinking or saying or whatever, and just be a bit more outgoing. I'm fully aware that most people are concerned mostly about themselves, so I don't know why I still let myself get all freaked out when talking to other people. Even people I love and trust and all that. But, in looking on the positive side of things...I've come out of my shell a fair amount this last year alone. Not that I'm not still an introvert, but I'm a more social introvert now. *G* A coworker said this week that she had been terribly shy when she was younger, but with age has been more able to stand up for herself. O.o That's really interesting, because I never ever ever would have picked her to be a shy one. She's always a bit brash and bold even around the doctors, so that's really kind of cool. Good to know that there is indeed hope of changing. Even if it is simply through the passing of time. *G* Tori's "Silent All These Years" is a really awesome song and always makes me ponder along this line of things.
Hmm. So. I think I've rambled myself out for now. It's not raining, I may go out in a bit. Got a gift certificate to the mall from the office I do contract work for...hehe, can't allow that to go unspent over the weekend, can I?? No, of course not. *G* May even splurge on dinner at the Great Steak Co...they make the yummiest fries too. mmMmmmMM. Yes, this is sounding very good. Hard to decide which store to spend it in though. heh.
