Jun. 30th, 2005 03:13 pmWell, today is Jason's 10th birthday and Becky's 24th. Preparations are being made to go to Roller Valley Roller Skating Rink later on for the party. Jason's extremely excited and well, so is Becky. She's just a big kid, you know. We just have to wait for John to get home after a 4:30 meeting so that we can go pick up presents, wrap them, and then go. He'd better not be late. All of thise has me deciding that Madison must age more slowly. I'm feeling old, and kids grow up toooooo fast.
I had a weird nasty pain earlier, too. I got up to use the bathroom and get some tea when my right shoulder started aching and cramping to the point that it was making me feel terribly nauseous. I went into the bedroom as quickly as I could to lie down, and it took a bit, but the pain went away. I don't know what the hell it was, but it left me still feeling a little queasy and off. I've been overusing the arm lately, and I guess it's complaining. I really don't want to see a doctor about it, because, like Mikel, I'm tired of doctors. I went to way more than enough back after my accident and I'd like to avoid them if at all possible. Hopefully the pain will not reoccur. I have so much still left to do, and I refuse to leave it all to other people. Becky won't be able to help after today because she's going to be spending most of July with her mom, lucky thing. I'd love to take a road trip with them since they're going through the Southwest, which is somewhere I've always wanted to go. Someday, maybe. Mike's been clinging to her since he won't be seeing her all that time, and since he's still not feeling well, he's clingier than usual. I'll just have to make sure he gets lots of cookies coming up. It's amazing how well they work to distract him, at least temporarily.
I'm getting the sneaking suspicion that Mikel is planning on skating when we go to Roller Valley. I'm just waiting for the nagging session from Amber. Of course, this will spur him on to do it, which, no matter how many times you tell her, doesn't stop her. She just can't help it. Those two are always interesting to watch together, I'll say that. He's sure she just wants to ruin his fun, and she's sure that he's defiant just to annoy her. Round and round she goes, where she stops, nobody knows. Don't you love vicious circles?

Oct. 21st, 2004 12:57 amI have decided that Becky is weird. I don't know what she's on, but she's been sitting near me for the last hour and a half or so and acting really strange. She's acting like she gets when she's really tired, but she says she's not going to bed. Maybe I should kick Mike out and see if she tries to sleep. You people have no idea just how odd she can get. I'm considering consulting a doctor for her. After all, her grandmother was kind of nuts as she got older, and her dad is getting nuttier all the time. Perhaps it's hitting her early? She's just taking a different direction with it. She's going goofy instead of paranoid.
I've really gotten ahead on Christmas stuff. Today I got two packages in the mail full of stuff that I've ordered, and it feels good to know I don't have to rush for everything at the last minute. There's still quite a bit to go, but I'm way ahead of where I usually am. Yes, I am anxious for the Christmas season. I get that way. For some reason, it's stronger this year than most.
I get to go to the doctor again tomorrow, as it's started to become a weekly thing now. That means I can't sleep in too late. Poor me. Especially since I can't fall asleep very well these days and so I lie awake in bed trying to doze off. It hasn't worked very well thus far. That's probably partly because I am just so uncomfortable. It's tough to find a suitable position in which to sleep. I've also been getting really hot too, and it's been in the forties at night. I'm so hoping that this baby decides to hurry up and pop out. I'm ready anytime! She acts like she wants out, too. She does lots of pushing and hard kicking. She's just trying to figure out how to do it. Tomorrow I go pick up her crib and that will be nice to finally have here.
So yeah. That's it, I think. My tooth is hurting, though. I hope to get it dealt with sooooon. I hate toothaches. They totally suck.

Feb. 5th, 2004 05:16 pmTiiiiirrrrrred. PT sucks, you know? I just thought I'd point that out.
And joy of joys! I sprained my ankle yesterday. Not in a major way, but enough so rotating it at all hurts. At least it's not my bad ankle. Or well, the worst ankle. They're both bad. But it is the one that broke last July in the accident, so fun fun. Walking just gets more and more enjoyable, doesn't it? But someday I will be off the crutches and totally out of the wheelchair and life will be good. Until I sprain or break an ankle again. My ankles truly suck and have all of my life. Oh well, no biggie.
On day three of John being gone, things are peaceful. Peaceful is good. Although I got a message that he called at almost seven this morning when Mikel was online and he said we might see him on CNN, so to watch. ::scratches head:: We don't have cable. I don't see how we could watch it. Some people. But it is all good to me, because I can relax.
We're hopefully going to be playing Evan's D&D game online tonight. At the very least, we'd like to get it started so characters can be introduced and the like. It shall be fun, I'm sure. I get to play Rigel, so I'm happy. It's been awhile since I've been able to do that.
I now have Apocalypse, since the wonderful owner of our gaming shop saved out a copy for us. Again, without us asking, just like with Gehenna. He does rock. I must thank him profusely when I see him next since I'm not the one who picked it up. He is seriously cool. I will definitely be utilizing this book soon.
Well, tis time for me to end this as I need to try and call John again soon, meaning I have to disconnect briefly. Weird thing is, when I disconnect sometimes, it takes forever to actually disconnect. I mean, earlier when I tried calling him, I hit disconnect and I actually had to reset the computer for it to do it. This was after five minutes of waiting. Very weird.
So that's it, at least for now. Thanks to those who responded to Cult, by the way! Everytime you do so, it seems to make him a little more inclined to write more. So you are doing a very good thing and I really appreciate it.

Apr. 8th, 2003 10:13 pmI think Jason is obsessed with Metallica. Mike seems to have influenced him. Not that I'm complaining. I like them, too. It's cute when he decides to dance to it and then gets to looking all tough. What a kid. Gotta love him.
Well, almost half through the week. It hasn't been too bad. Got my appeal off to the financial aid people, I should get my rejection soon enough. Not that I care all that much. It would be nice to have spending money, and I really would like to buy some new clothes (I'm so tired of the usual jeans and tee shirt shit), but if this was gonna happen, this was the right quarter for it. I'll hopefully get my application for grad school off really soon, too. Just have to wait for John's paycheck to get the $35. I'm not sure if I've missed the deadline due to lack of funds, though. If I have, I can just skip fall quarter and go in the winter. I'll be bummed if there's something I really want to take in the fall, but ah well. I know that Dr. Urcia is offering a class on Chaucer in the winter, I just don't want to miss that. I so love Chaucer and would love the chance to delve more deeply into the Canterbury Tales.
If my arm doesn't start feeling better here soon, I'm afraid I'm going to have to go to the doctor again. The pain's moved down the arm some and those anti-inflammatory pills aren't doing much for me. The pain pills have, though. Boy, do they make me goofy. Last night was a trip and a half and reaffirmed that I am better off not drinking alcohol. Being drunk would just be wrong. Especially if it affects my talking the way this does. I can hardly shut up. No comments from the peanut gallery, either. Yes Becky, I mean you.
I do have one more thing to say before posting a couple more quizzes, though. Mark Twain was a literary genius. Yup yup. Gotta love him. I do love Lit classes where I get to read neat stuff and get graded on it.

I would've preferred punch or something, but ah well. Slapping never was my style. Doesn't leave much of a mark most of the time.

Sounds cool to me! The second movie will be out on DVD on Friday. That's good news indeed.
