quickly before I pass out again
Haven't been on in a while but I just skimmed through about 3/4 of what I missed, will finish the rest later. First though, I need to say Happy "very" late Birthdays to the people I missed, omegaxl, seanp and papi. I am SO sorry for not posting it sooner, I actually saw the mention in time but I went back to work full time on the 1st and the days before that I was in constant motion getting ready. Kept telling myself I would post later and then later turned into days and weeks. Again, I'm sorry, but I did think about you on your birthdays, just didn't get to the computer.
Yeah, work is kicking my everloving behind. Not really the job so much, but the commute is like an hour and a half each way, depending on traffic, and if it rains, fuhgetaboutit! I'll be two hours for sure! The meetings, all day, terminology which I've long forgotten and I really just have no interest in this mess anymore. I think beng out of it for so long just wiped it out of my mind and you wouldn't even think I've ever worked in automotive. I remember nothing, not even the simplest acronym. And I don't really want to remember. I'm too old for this mess. I don't want to work so hard, I just want to relax until I get social security. I'm back in the rush, waking up to an alarm, commuting, working hard all day, rushing home to cook and then doing it all again the next day. I don't like it.
But beyond all of that, I'm sick - I have gallstones. I had pain in my stomach since Wed so I went to ER on Friday because I couldn't take it anymore, and found out I have gallstones and I have to have my gall bladder removed asap. Probably tomorrow. I'm on vicodin right now but I can't stay medicated like this because I can't function. I'm going to have to withdraw from my classes this part of the quarter, which is no REAL biggie because I just finished 8 more credits for spring so I'm cool, I just planned on 16. But since I can't sit up for long at the computer and I've already missed the last week because I haven't been on, and I'll have to be in recovery after the surgery for at least a week, I'd rather withdraw than get so far behind and fail. It's only a 6 week class and I'm going to miss nearly two. Most importantly though, I just want the pain to be over so I actually can't wait to get there and get it done so my life can go back to normal. I am in constant pain and I have no appetite, yet, some foods smell so good to me but I can't eat!!! Omigod, I never knew a 7-11 hot dog could bring me to my knees!! I wanted to jack that sucker from Nate's hand and run in the bathroom and eat it so bad! But I have not eaten anything since Wed, except about 5 almonds, a handful of lettuce, a slice of toast, part of an apple and a cup of soup.
Ok, this was supposed to be quick because it's really uncomfortable sitting here, but I wanted to say that I want Clay to win!!!! Yes, I would totally buy his album - remember I was a huge Sam Harris fan, so Clay is just fine with me. Reuben is boring as hell, IMO. He knows like 3 notes and that's it. But I won't be mad if he wins, he's just clearly not the most talented or the one with the most versatility or longevity.
omegaxl, I meant to get back to you about the truck too - it will be an extremely limited edition and extremely expensive, but I will try to get my hands on some posters or something for you as soon as I'm back at work and moving around again. I think if they do the surgery tomorrow I may be off a week and then have to use the elevator and probably stay at my desk for a couple more weeks. But I'll see what I can cop.
