Today was the Strides of March, and it seemed to go well. I did face painting in the AM and then route safety in the PM, which sucked ass. I wound up on the Walking Bridge in Coolidge Park, and the wind off the river was so freaking cold. I was part of a storyboard so I had to hold up a sign for all of the walkers to read as they walked past ( Read more... )

Well, I'm so glad that it's the weekend. It's been a long week. Tomorrow is the Strides of March for AIDS; I volunteered to paint faces in the morning and do route safety in the afternoon. It'll be a long day, but I think it'll be fun. I'm going to try to do some volunteer work this summer since I'm not going to be employed. Sounds odd, but if ( Read more... )

Oh, my God, will this week of Hell never end? I have fucking poison!!!! Apparently I inhaled some while we were working in the yard on Monday, and I knew that I had been itching this week like a mad woman. I just thought it was my nerves acting up. No. I have a red rash going all the way around my throat and plunging down to my chest. It is ( Read more... )

So we went to the orthapedic surgeon's office today to see if Beau is ready for surgery. He goes tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. to get three screws and a plate put in his leg. The two bones are broke in three places, thus the amount of metal in his leg. The doctor said that when he broke his leg, it made his foot independent of the leg bone, connected ( Read more... )

Everybody keep my brother, Beau, in their thoughts and prayers. He fell today, helping me to do yard work, and he broke both bones in his leg. He has to go to surgery this week. One of the bones has a piece broke off that isn't supposed to be free floating, so he'll need a pin or rod to re-attach it. So please think of him, as he's in a lot of ( Read more... )

This makes me glad my own prozac comes from Bi-Lo, always free from judgment.

I just dropped my truck Goldie, who I shall now refer to henceforward as THE HOG due to her gas guzzling ways, off at the mechanic's place. This is not my usual mechanic, and it made me a tad nervous, but I had her checked out there last week. They seem to think something is up with the wiring to make it shift between second and third gear...thus ( Read more... )

So, another week has drawn to a close; I am now registered for the PRAXIS. Will brush up for the math portion, but apart from that, I'm not overly concerned. If you can achieve over a 21 on the ACT, you should tell fairly well. I have also got back my test grades for three of my classes, the fourth has no tests but just Excel and Power Point ( Read more... )

This is neat....
