If any of my old friends are still here, please let me know. I'd like to start journaling here again. Really. I mean it this time. I don't feel like FB is a place I can be totally myself. There's no place like LJ and it's been a really long time and a lot of changes and plus it's 2020 which has it's own challenges.

So, yeah. Holla atcha girl.

Wow! What a year so far! I guess being a fat girl born in
the year of the Ox isn’t something to be embarrassed about any more- not that I
really believe in such things, but hey, it’s been a hell of a year so far!

I’m cross-posting this everywhere so I don’t have to talk to

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

First the first time in a long time,my family, including my sister Jen, are coming to Orlando for Thanksgiving. We haven't been to Disney World together since Jen and I were kids. I have someone who can get us into the parks on Monday, but only 3 of us. Doesn't anyone have a comp pass or can you get ( Read more... )

From what I understand, my close friend Strat, aka, Dave Campbell, committed suicide on Tuesday night, August 5th. I have no details really, so if I am wrong about any of it, I apologize. Today, Monday August 11,  at 2 pm is the memorial service. He’s being cremated, and there will be no viewing.

Omigosh! What a day! I didn't want to get out of bed to go with R to get his hair cut but reluctantly I did. Once there I was able to get in and get my hair cut too. It's so cute! Quite short. Kinda an A-line bob, but not exactly ( Read more... )

By the way, I just ran out for lunch after that last post and when I got in the car "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" was playing. I've been trying to avoid mushy love stuff, but that just made me chuckle ( Read more... )

So my sickness seemed to be improving, but I had been having some symptoms that concerned me, like possible kidney pain, so I called the doc and the nurse told me to come in. So far everything seems to be fine, other than my need for antibiotics for my nose. No sugar in my urine, though there was some blood, so there will be more testing. Doc didn' ( Read more... )

Maybe it's lofty and trite of me.
but I like to imagine us as fireflies,
beating our wings so hard
that it looks like we're effortlessly
hovering in the sky,
smiling so hard
that it looks like we're glowing,
brightening up the night.

I plugged in the heater thing and went about getting ready to start work and blew a fuse. This only effected my section of the office, where only I sit. Boss had to be called because blown fuse couldn't be located. Door to the snake/racoon room had to be opened. Brave and smart dispatcher located pesky fuse, but only after boss re-routed my ( Read more... )
