where I am rambling on at the moment

POST A MESSAGEYou can go into Walmart anywhere in the country, log onto any walmart website, even call an 800 number and ( Read more... )

thank you

I am writing over at my diary lately and especially this weekend... I am participating in a few activities intended to help people effected by Hurricane Katrina... please visit and click on the links and help all you can... thank you.

my feelings of the past week can be summed up too well by this song:

What Made American FamousI wish ( Read more... )

an abundance of overtime is now a relative constant opportunity at work (I figure after a year of being stuck in the "we desperately need people" end of the "cut back on overtime" vs "desperate need" cycle, management has forgotten that come October they will be freaking out over the budget overruns due to overtime... but that's their headache and ( Read more... )

I woke with this odd feeling of almost being rested today... still feeling uncomfortable in this body, feeling like an alien in this world, but more rested than I've been in months, maybe a year or more... and that feeling lead me back to the gym... you can find the gorey details, minimal as they are, over in the mostlydead journal... the hope that ( Read more... )

I may be premature, but I am preparing an ode, eulogy form, to the old laptop... it is dying, it seems, and may not allow me to retrieve essential data from it before it goes under for the last time, which will end the run of some accounts and contacts that are only accessed from that laptop... sad, but life ( Read more... )

no time to update my daily diary, yet I come here to wonder why I come here when there's no time to update my daily diary (which is, as you must know by now, or at least I hope you do, elsewhere... for now) even as these little flies buzz around and bug the crap out of any ability to focus and concentrate I might have left in my sleep-deprived and ( Read more... )

so sleepy...

I wrote this and then this and then would have written more here or somewhere (ever stand at the crossroads wondering where to go next?) and then thought of you here at LJ and realized there is not enough time to write here either, but I did anyway...

wish you were here J

I keep wishing I had more time to be online, to read more friends and write more so people I want to call friends might know me and have someone to call friend (a silent journal is hard to call a friend, I know... you {and I} must read these wonderful people more often... remind me)... I do ramble on over at my daily diary, but so much of what ( Read more... )

when I write the entry that goes with the title of this entry, it may make more sense... it if makes sense to you already, then you understand... you might not know what I mean though... in any case, though I might be writing elsewhere more than here, I wish you all peace and understanding (especially if you are sincerely trying to understand me) ( Read more... )
