There is a crank window in the wall behind the kitchen sink. There is a storm window and then the two panels of glass that crank out to let in fresh air, should there be a screen window instead of a storm one in place. Bugs tend to collect between the glass in the window and a Praying Mantis had gotten in with them last week. Chris and I had been ( Read more... )

The clock is running down at my job. I put my notice in last Friday, but it seems that I have to resubmit it. The manager knew that it was in her box, but between Friday and Monday, it somehow went missing. I'm a little annoyed about that because my x-ray report was stapled to the letter. The letter has my SS# on it, but I am fairly certain that I ( Read more... )

It was a hard decision, but I gave my two weeks notice to my program manager this week. While there are aspects of my job as a program associate for an organization that works with the developmentally disabled, mentally retarded, and brain injured that I have enjoyed, I am just not physically fit for the job.

My back has had chronic problems over ( Read more... )

My dog, Gilligan, is a real stinker. I was lying in bed last night with my back aching and I was waiting for my muscle relaxant and my pain killer to kick in.

The following is what I can remember of a dream that I had last night:

There was a group that was exterminating various sections of society, such as families with children, or so that is what I can put together at this time out of what I recall. I was living in a decent sized house and was a single person with no children. I knew that I would ( Read more... )

The state of my house has become ridiculous. I often joke that the main reason that I bought my late father's house was so I would not have to move all of my stuff out of it. It really is the truth. I had lived with my parents for almost all of my life, not counting the 2 years that I was out on my own in South Carolina. All my life, I have been a ( Read more... )
