I have been so exhausted the last two days. I’ve had little energy for some reason. Maybe Aunt Flow has something to do with it? I went to sleep before midnight last night and didn’t fully wake up until after 11:30am today. And, I still felt like I could have slept more.
Been watching a lot of the Wimbledon matches. Serena and Venus are both in the semi-finals. This is where I start to get stressed that they’ll get beaten somehow. Serena is just on fire this time. She is just blazing right through everyone she plays against. She is just amazing! I’m so glad I started watching her. It’s made me enjoy watching tennis again. Finally, I’m a fan of someone in sports that’s a winner! lol
I went to Metrotown on Saturday and got one of those tattoo art belts that I’ve wanted for a long time. They didn’t have the exact one I wanted so I got a blue one that says “Love Kills”. lol I came home and looked on the BodyMods web site and they had tons of other belt options, so I ordered a white one with the traditional tattoo swallow birds that I wanted, but they only had it in a cream colour at the mall. I came home and had a bad headache and laid in bed for an hour or so and then stayed up for a while watching TV and messing around on the computer.
Sunday, I went to Zeller’s to pick up some things and ended up getting one of those little carts with wheels that people put groceries in so they don’t have to carry stuff home. It’s quite a handy little gadget and I was glad to not be sore from carrying thing when I got home. I tried getting a vacuum belt but none of the stores I tried had any, so I was aggravated because I really wanted to vacuum the floor!
Talked to Aunt Betty on Sunday evening. Dad said that he had seen Candy at WalMart in Laurel and said Aunt Betty had hurt her back. So, I called to see if she was OK. Talked to her for a good while. She said that she’d hurt her back throwing a bag of trash into the dumpster at work. She went to the doctor and he gave her some pills and she’s supposed to let him know if she’s doing better by the end of the week. If not, he’s going to send her for an MRI. I asked how Pumpkin was doing and she said that she likes to cuddle up at Aunt Betty’s head at night. Cute. 🙂 I didn’t even get to see her the whole time I was down there. They went by the house and picked her up before I got down there. Dad emailed me to say that he had finally located his friend Ken that was in some of the photos that I scanned and put up for him. He said Ken is going to come up this weekend from Florida to visit. He seemed really excited about it. I think it’s cool that something I did helped him connect with an old friend.
Monday, I picked up a belt for my vacuum cleaner, got some stamps and made a bit pot of my yummy, vegetable-laden spaghetti sauce. Thank God, the belt for the vacuum cleaner fixed the problem of the brushes not spinning when it was sitting on the carpet. I don’t think the floors have been that clean in a long time! I got Isabelle’s check for web hosting and went to the bank to get a money order to send to Emily to go towards the escrow shortage on the house note. I called them today and they said the note is going to be $650 a month even if we pay the escrow shortage from last year. Emily called to tell me the A/C wasn’t cooling and she was going to have someone come out and check the freon. She emailed me back to say that it was, in fact, low and now it’s cooling well. Thank God! I really have to get more money happening so I can establish a “house fund” to go towards the stuff that needs to be done down there. I emailed USDA/RHS about procedures to change the name on the house account, so waiting to hear what they’ll say. I didn’t give them my name or account number. Don’t want them to know who is contacting them until I have the info I need.
Tracey’s been over a few times the last few days. She came over on Monday night to watch the Bachelorette and have spaghetti and was over for a while yesterday and again today. She’s staying over tonight because she has a vet appointment in the morning and it’s near here. We’re going to the dentist on Friday, which I’m dreading.
Talked to Lynn on the phone for over an hour and a half last night. She’s going through a rough time right now. Pasha called me today to tell me that her sister is starting crap with her about Shane living with them and now she just wants to move to get away from it all. I don’t blame her. I would not live near people that were going to start a bunch of crap with me because of who I am. I just would not tolerate it.
Not much else to report. Been adding a few things to the DG site here and there. Up to over 110 followers on Twitter which is cool. Going to watch an episode of LWord and then go to sleep.
