I do my best thinking when doing something else.
So...I'm often frustrated by the time I post here, because its horribly impractical to constantly write one's thoughts down while working as a cashier in a store...and even more so for a stream-of-fragmented-consciousness thinker like I am. :P
I am not going to post about Halloween yet. Its a good chunk of a story and I'm working on 8 hours sleep total for the last two nights. I actually napped this evening after work, something I only do if coming down with something. I woke to M knocking on the door to be let in after work, with Twilight on Showtime. Ugh.
I pissed off my index finger again today. Accidentally used it foremost when I closed the trash compactor door. Made me yelp too, the fucker. Not able to straighten it again...I can feel the tendon pulling in my finger. *sigh* Monday I call to make an appointment with the GP for my yearly checkup...and I will speak to him about this issue. I hurt it after the last visit, so he knows nothing about it. Hopefully he can offer some insight and perhaps a remedy.
The boss has me "on call" for tomorrow. He thinks the day will be slow, what with Playoffs and the crappy weather predicted. Hopefully I can sleep in. I'm really damned tired. I hate to sleep. I don't have trouble sleeping, I just never go to bed. For example, I had to be awake by 9:00am, and I didn't hit the mattress til around 6. Made for a very odd, out-of-body feeling all day. Annoyingly enough, I have stuff I want to do now, but I'm good to pass right out if I stop long enough, and I should do so.
I budgeted myself through February today. Missing 5 days of work due to the store being closed, so I wanted to make sure the bills are covered. Sad how little money I have... Costuming cannot be done without cash. There's some stuff I want to make for myself...and I REALLY want to try my hand at another Victorian suit, this one for my hubby. I'm considering putting it off for a bit for a couple reasons....#1, lack of funds, and #2, with M going to the gym, the suit will be too large if made now.
Our room is slowly being consumed by Stuff. I don't even have room to move stuff to clean out the closet. Our storage bin is full (and still needs to be sorted) and the new shed out back lacks electrical, so has no insulation or drywall yet.
OH! Random thought! Finally got the last of the money for our wedding album. Over 2 years later, even. I HATE being part of that non-paying group. I want to take the next available $100 I have and buy the photographer a gift certificate for a nice restaurant by way of apology.
The trip to the dentist went a little better than I was expecting. I got in at 11:30...out by 1pm. Sheesh. Turns out after 4 years without a cleaning, I have only two small cavities. My insurance sucks apparently, so I have to pay for 20% of it out of pocket. Cause, you know...I have a money tree in my backyard. *eyeroll* Also, have a referral to the oral surgeon for the panarex(?) xrays for my wisdom teeth. They need to come out before they either damage the good teeth, or start to go rotten for being hard to clean. Yey. I'm probably going to have to pay for that out of pocket too. (Long story) Going to talk to him about gum grafting too. I bet that's out of pocket also, damnit. *grumbles* I was relieved a little that my gums haven't receded beyond salvation...they didn't give me anything for them, but so far so good. Any further tho and we've got problems. My fillings are scheduled for Feb 25th.
Bellydance is no more. I went for 6 months, stopped in October to take a Medical Billing and Coding class, and now have neither the money nor the interest in her style of tribal dance. Now I have a couple of videos to practice with at home and we'll see where that gets me. My sister wants to take a class too, so I may look into Philly or NYC, since no one teaches in the void we live in.
Speaking of coding...in October my sister and I took a night class at the community college, two nights a week, for three months, an hour drive away. :P We passed. It was an interesting class. Now all that remains is to take the certification exam, which costs $300 plus the $120 registration fee to join the association. Yeah....about that money tree, hmm? So, the treasure hunt begins with some gold to sell, and a $100 bill my boss gave me for xmas. Have to wait til March to take it....IF I get in the limited space...then I can job hunt.
Okay...I wanted to write some more of my Vampire story, which I haven't touched for months...but the brain is mush. Downtime is needed.
