A Monday In The Life . . .

I am doing better with Pot Farm, they fixed a lot of the problems and the game loads now and doesn't crash any more.  That's good.  I'd like to get a throwaway debit card though and use it for AstroGarden, I can't do a  lot without actual money and that kinda sucks.  The game would be a lot more fun if I could afford a lot more gold.  Ah well.  I persevere.  Otherwise I hope this is the last of our cold weather, it's to be 34 tonight and that's not good, it was at least that last night I hope my plants persevere.  I may go out later and cover them though.  Thanks to DST the days are way way way WAY longer.  (sigh) I hate DST.  With a passion.  On that I'll go my merry way and do something constructive (write?).  Oh another thing.  I hope to soon have a portable dvd player on the way but in the meantime I hooked up the cd player we'd bought for Mother up by my bed and can listen to my audio books when I go to bed.  Worked great last night though I snoozed through a lot of it!  But I loved it!  I can also listen to it when on the computer.  Yay!

Getting Well . . .

Getting my olfactory back, can smell and taste a little bit.  Just ordered something from a catalog that said I'm preapproved for monthly payments, lets see if they're lying, because, I think they are.  I ordered a portable dvd player.  Holding breath.  Not.  Gotta go, want soup.

Maybe Spring Is Truly Springing . . .

I was a little downhearted when I went to the garden today and saw that the wind had blown the cover off my plants last night.  But I think they will recover.  It's going to be warm until Tuesday then I'll cover them again but after that it's warm all the way with rain forecast.  Awesome.  I do hope for a little rain this spring, it'll keep summer from doing so much damage.  Guess what?  I'm putting down an in ground garden this year :)  I will be planting bellflower, nasturtiums (I think), lots of stuff also the lily of the valley and gladiola bulbs.  Will be colorful when they bloom hopefully this year :)

In other news, well, I just had to stop so I could reconnect the air conditioner for her royal highness even though it's fucking 61 degrees outside.  Whatever.  Racing is smoothly running along for the new season, Kasey has a slow start but will do well this season I do believe.  My weight is steady, I've remained out of the 250s, a personal best for me and am I ever glad.  I'd like to weigh tomorrow we had a heavy meal yesterday (Jack in the Box) but hopefully it won't be much of an issue I've been REALLY regular so I should be shedding a pound anyway.  Will be glad to see.  I need to get more water though I'm out.

So on that I'll pause this life for now to finish watching today's race, then I have to take the garbage can to the curb and some other tasks to task.  Blessed Sunday my friends :)

What I wouldn't give for my olfactory back.  I can't smell, I can't taste and I just bought Southern Buttered Pecan coffee creamer.  Oh well maybe it will come back before it's all gone.  I've had a cold for a week, which I hate to begin with, and it's just not going away.  I'm eating but it's like going to a museum blind.

In other news it's about to freeze again.  Tonight I'm covering the garden and not uncovering it for 6 days.  I hope it doesn't kill my plants but the freeze certainly will.  I just don't feel like going out every day to uncover them only to go back out before dark to cover them again to save them from frost.  But one day the low will be 27 so they must be covered.  What I wouldn't give for a greenhouse.  Seriously.

Other then that all is quiet, I was going to sign up with a legal employment agency in Houston and sign up for work but Mother is dead set against me going back to Houston so I sit here.  Maybe something will come along more local.  And maybe monkeys will fly out my butt on the next full moon.  (sighsnufflesigh).

Yay . . . Maybe . . .

I got a call today from a legal placement agency I'd sent a resume to some time ago.  I think I've finally talked Mom into letting me take the interview, we agree I have to get back to work and soon, or my social security will suffer.  I hope this gets me a good job, if I get it I WILL play the game and hold on to it.  I'm just looking forward to getting out of the house.  I hate going back to Houston but that's where the work is so, off I go.  I just hope they find me something.  I'll speak to The Lady tonight for reinforcement.

Scare

6:00 this morning I had a scare.  I've caught cold and have been taking OTC meds for it and not eating, well this morning my chest hurt BAD.  Never felt a pain like it and it wouldn't let up.  I woke Mother because I was afraid I needed to go to ER but I settled down after getting sick, she made me a bowl of soup and I took two aspirin, in a few moments it got better and I'm fine now.  Still have the cold but the chest pain is gone.  Man that scared me I have got to start taking better care of myself.

What's the Problem???

I'm not able to play Pot Farm lately, my internet keeps crashing.  Wonder what's up?  I don't hardly play it anymore because I have to restart it so often.  (sigh) I love that game too :(.  Oh well I'll persevere.  Hoping for an active busy day tomorrow, we'll see how it goes.  Spring is springing and time for a change.  I'm ready!
