the headache i had on wednesday and thursday let up on friday. thank goodness for that... it was horrible. i think i'm going to take the pharmacist's advice and see my doctor for maxitol or imitrex for migraines. as far as migraines go, this was a mild one.. for which i'm thankful. but i really can't take days off for headaches any more. they affect my pay terribly.

on friday, i bought a copy of harry potter and the deathly hallows. i am incapable of sitting still long enough to get a whole lot read in one sitting.. so i've been flitting between rooms and the computer between half-hours of pouring over the book. two days, and i'm just barely over halfway though it, though.. and it's just gotten to the snag-you-and-suck-you-in part. i hate to walk away from it.. but.. i just can't stay still.

i sent off mail this week to j and his sister.. i like doing that. sending something tangible. next things to be mailed off will be photos for my mother, and photo's and left-behind-things of bronwyn and chris.

i got a phone call from my ex last night, because the twins wanted to talk to me... so brenna was given the phone, and she chattered on about all sorts of stuff (the little magpie) with no apparent transition from one thing into the next. then out of nowhere, she says "can you come pick me up tomorrow?" it broke my heart to tell her no, but i just don't have the money to make the trip this weekend. i told her she needed to spend a little more time with her daddy, since he rarely gets to see them. she wasn't pacified by this.. and as we said our good byes, she tried to slip in "i'll see you in the moooorniiiiing" ... i laughed and shook my head, reminding her that i couldn't.. and then she was gone. i could hear her laughing in the background as she dashed back off to play with her cousins.

and it's that time of year again... school supply gathering. i have a rediculously long list to aquire. instead of doing it all myself, though.. i'm graciously letting their dad help fill the list. i just have to remember to call the school in the morning to see when the first day is.... because it would really suck to miss that all important day.

hooray for brothers. they both gave me funny and good (respectively) advice about keyboards. i'll have to look into them when i have a/spare money, or b/ worn the letters completely off the keys.. whichever comes first.

today started way too early for my liking, but i had inspection a little later in the morning, and wanted things to be nice and tidy for carol to walk through. i passed with only a couple of things that she wanted mr. williams to come out and fix... luckily, none of it was because of me, and only one teeny problem was due to brenna breaking the slat out of the bottom of one of her blinds.

i napped for a little bit after nine-thirty. at least, i'm pretty sure i napped.. i lay down and closed my eyes, and seemed to just open them again as soon as they were closed.... and two hours had passed.

i went to see my doctor today, for pink-eye. it's horribly itchy and weeps a lot of guck out. i was able to pay my copay only by the kindness of the doctor letting me post-date a check for friday. my medicine, however, will have to wait til then, too... seeing as it's only a brand name product at this time, and i only have enough to cover the generic copay.

i found out what my mother's birthday present from bill was.... a precious little toy poodle. she's so cute. mom named her doodle.. doodle the poodle. sickeningly cute, that... but it fits. i posted off her birthday card today, and am getting the portraits that were taken in june ready for mailing this weekend. sadly, i can't afford frames.. but mama says that's alright; just means she'll get to pick out ones that go with her decor.

other than that, it's taking me longer to type than usual. see, i'm fairly heavy-handed on the keyboard... i tend to wear letters off of keys, and leave groove spots where the key-top dips inward from my abuse of it. j said if i would type less heavily, it would probably save the keyboards, and i'm trying to do just that... pressing gently on the keys where the sound of typing is softened. but it's damn hard to do, as i find myself speeding up and moving back into the heavy-handing typing. it actually takes thought and slowing way down to be more gentle on the keyboard.

next thing you know, i'll be more gentle all around... which will make people sick of just how sweet and kind i am. you know the sort... the person who's always cheery and has a smile for everyone... kind of like how i am at work.

hmmmm

maybe it's too late for me, afterall.

i'm that cheery person

I've created this blog so that I can communicate with my older brother. I don't expect to be using it for much more than that.. but you never know. I may just cross-post my entries from MySpace.
