Errchkk! My throat! Pain!

I’m so tired, I can barely keep my eyes open, and I came home and went to sleep after work until 8:00. Then I got up and ate dinner and then went back to bed. Yet, I’m still so freakin’ tired.

Have to get the Mercury fixed. A trash can fell off the back of a truck that we were following on I-70 yesterday. It tore a good hunk off our front bumper apart.

Mac found the receipt to my camera for my 4-year warranty, so it is going to be sent in for fixing today. It took 3 weeks for them to fix the laptop. I hope that I get the camera back before Christmas.

My ring is going in for its 6-month inspection for its warranty. It is a little bit of a pain to have to send my ring in every 6 months, but if it means that I get it repaired for free if anything happened to the setting, then so be it. I hope that I don’t forget where it is and then go on a searching spree looking for it. That is why I’m documenting it here. Mac’s watch band broke as well, so it is going in with the ring to get fixed.

Geez–lately it seems to be all about things breaking around here. Please, let my new appliances be happy. So far, they seem to be. The fridge is laying eggs* and the second batch is clearer, so I think after I throw that one out, the fridge eggs will be ready for use**.

I’m working at home today, so besides the stuff on my work TODO list, I want to do some laundry, transfer all my food from the old fridge to the new one, clean up the kitchen, and run to the store for out of stock food items, something for dinner tonight, and a few things for food that I have to take to work on Friday for our Thanksgiving potluck. Hopefully, this will be the last time that I use the old oven to bake. I should be getting the new one right after Thanksgiving.

We were going to get a small chest freezer to put in the unfinished part of our basement for storing more food, but the freezer in the new fridge is bigger, so we thought about keeping the old fridge in the basement for extra storage until it poops out on us. We’d have extra beverage storage too. Having extra refrigerator space may come in handy for Christmas as well.

Alton Brown is going to be in town again, and I’m going to miss it…again.

I’m not sure why I am even sharing, but when you post something and say basically read this at your own risk, I’m going to read it. I always read it. Yeah, DON’T PUSH THIS BUTTON. Whatever.

The warning: This next link is a little stomach sickening, and not an emotional, heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, knotty-stomach sickening. It is gross. I would have just left the place as was and said “keep my deposit. It isn’t worth all the puking.”

I even held my breath while reading it, hoping to keep out phantom smells that were making me want to gag.

Okay, the gross, don’t read this really if your stomach is on the weaker side.

Enough warnings? Okay.

Oh, and maybe it is a read for home and not at work. No nudity or anything, but odd photos in your cache and all.

Why am I posting it this late? Can’t sleep. Ada has been sleeping since about 8:00-ish and I’m taking advantage of it with a bout of insomnia. Tommorow* is going to suck.

Please, Mr Dizzy, Nausea Combo, go away now.

Blech.

I’m still drinking my ice water. No soda. Maybe my body is going through withdrawal.

I created a ticker for this momentous event.

Neat.

Everybody is doing it, and so shall I because I think it is neat.

Go and sign my wall.

Why are grasshoppers plaguing the front of my house? Which god did I anger?

Does anybody have a miter saw? I really need to cut the molding for Ada’s room. I would love more than anything to finish her room before I hit another one, but I have no way at all to cut the molding.

Yeah, it is cheaper to do this myself, but easier to just hire somebody who knows what they are doing. I should have choosen the later.

I had a horrible night, painwise. It started about 1:00-ish am when I got up to tend to Ada. I decided to bring her to bed with me to fed her, and I started getting horrible pains in my back and chest. They ended up so bad that I couldn’t lay down anymore and had to hand Ada off to Mac while I wallowed around trying to find a position that would ease the horrible pain. After about and hour of wallowing and 30-minutes in a hot shower, it subsided enough that I went to sleep, only to wake up about an hour later with the same pain. I moved myself into the living room so I wouldn’t wake Mac, and it finally subsided enough that I could sleep again around 5:30 am, which was the next time Ada woke up.

So, today, no pain and a fairly productive work day is almost over. Tonight is my night to not have to make dinner, so I think that I’ll mix up some oatmeal cookies instead.

I need this for my guest room, but once again, it is something that is only available in the store. When are we getting one in Kansas City? Where can I write to request a store in Kansas City?

Okay, back to work, which I have a great quantity to do.

I’m just now realizing how hot it has been having gone outside just now and it being 109F. At 8:50 pm. 109. Tomorrow’s heat index is supposed to be around 115F, and I’m going out in that too. Eeps. Maybe this will snap before I have to go back to work.

But, in turn, I love going outside really early in the morning and having it already in the 80s. Ada’s sleep patterns are turning a little bit and she is sleeping more during the day and waking up at night. Maybe we can sit out on the deck if she wakes up around 2:00 - 3:00 am. It is supposed to drop into the upper 80s by then. It will feel great.

I also realized today that I don’t have anything to wear to work that fits me. The miraculous breastfeeding weight-loss program never happened for me, so I lost 26 lbs in the first 3 weeks, and then lost absolutely nothing else since then. “The pounds will melt right off,” said everybody I know. Liars. So, I’m due a shopping trip this weekend too. I’m not looking forward to it. It is making me grumpy just typing about it.
