| Lazy day today. Enjoying the rain. |
| This sounds nuts, but I swear my foot feels like I stepped on a giant LEGO. It's been killing me all day. But I don't own any LEGOs. I don't even remember stepping on anything. Who knows. |
| I think we figured out what's going on with my car. It now burps. Corey thinks we need a new gas cap, so he's going to order one today. He needs to get his truck back on the road. I'm tired of being down to one car. My father-in-law has been having truck problems and I drove him around for a couple of days last week. Which isn't a big deal, I don't mind helping my FIL, but I had to get up at 5AM to take Corey to work so I could use the car all day. My brother-in-law could have done it without any inconvenience. Or his wife. But people assume because I don't have a proper job, I'm free to do favors for others all day. |
| For the first time in years, my husband and I were able to get away for the weekend. It wasn't anything glamorous. Ravyn took a bus to see her boyfriend in Houston, which is about 4 hours away, but the only return bus left at 2 am on Sunday. So I volunteered to pick her up Corey & I left Saturday and stopped in Huntsville. (The birthplace of General Sam Houston, the first and third president of the Republic of Texas.) We did some sightseeing, had a nice dinner, and spent the night. We visited the Veterans Museum & the Texas Prison Museum before bringing back Ravyn Sunday night. Or taking her home, I should say. It still seems unnatural for her to live somewhere else. On another note, the weather is weird. It's 87 degrees and although it's sunny, it looks as if it'll storm soon. |
| It's a gloomy winter day. Perfect for lounging around and reading. I've got to try to get rid of some inventory before my next shipment comes. I'm expecting 100 sticker books by Friday. I've been pretty successful on Facebook selling the ones that I can't sell on Amazon. Hopefully that continues. I think I'm caught up on paperwork. I need to find a few business classes. Although I'm making a profit, I know I can do better. I just don't know how. Sometimes I tire of trying to figure everything out by myself. |
| Typical Monday. It all started when my alarm didn't go off at 5:30 this morning...but I'm too tired to explain. Thankfully, I'm calling it a day. |
I had to reschedule our Medieval Times trip for next month. Zachary woke up with a stomach ache, so I called to tell Ravyn, who was sick to her stomach. I'm just happy we could change dates without any problems. When I went to the store to get ginger ale, my car died and the check engine warning light was lit. Diagnostics show there's a blockage or something in a hose or whatever, so I bought some fuel tank cleaner stuff to run through it. I paid it off a year early, at 100k miles, so I know it's due to be serviced soon, but I making hubby deal with car stuff. Last time he got mad that I bought an overpriced battery. Well, he should have taken it in himself. I'm no feminist, I'm perfectly fine letting my man handle vehicle-related stuff. I've got enough on my plate. Speaking of which, I need to get my Amazon shipments ready for UPS to pick up tomorrow. And catch up on reports and crap. |
| My nephew turned 21st a couple of weeks ago & I'm taking him & Ravyn to Medieval Times today. I dusted the cobwebs out of my wallet & sprung for the Knighting Ceremony as a fun surprise. My only concern is that he's autistic and sometimes gets overwhelmed by too much noise, too many people, or just having a lot going on around him. It'll probably be okay. He'll wear the coat he never takes off (like a security blanket) & the new headset he got as a gift (drowns out noise). Plus, Ravyn will be there & they're more like siblings. Her presence always reassures him. I wanted to take my mom & hubby too, but those damn tickets have gone up over the years! Thankfully, my ex-husband bought Ravyn's ticket, so I just paid for me & Zachary. Of course, you can upgrade your tickets to include all kinds of stuff, but we'll probably be better off with basic tickets. Being a little on the fringe of things is better than being smack dab in the middle as far as Zachary is concerned. It's been too long since we've done something as a family. I'm going to plan something soon. Besides, it gives me an excuse to see Ravyn! |

but seems to be okay today. I worry about my poor circulation, scrub my toes with a soft bristle brush, watch discoloration come and go. I probably need new arteries or veins but hey... "Heathcare" USA (enough said?). I may be better off trying something here in Thailand. But still... wish I lived in a country that had adequate patient based healthcare. Thailand and Taiwan mostly do, but I can't access it. First world systems like Europe, Canada and Australia do, but again, I can't access it.
