    3:09 pm
    went to the dentist today
    had a root canal & therefore fixed one of my broken teeth
    i get to go again mid may for yet another root canal & fix the other broken tooth
    & we will then discuss what to do next
    i have a couple of teeth in the back that i am certain need to be pulled
    right now the #new# tooth in my mouth feels a bit odd
    but in a good sort of way
    i havent eaten anything yet though
    such fun!~

    drB today
    took the bus
    which is good
    except my hips have been acting up lately
    i think it might be the weather
    i am all stiff like an old lady
    my dad is sick with a cold
    & i hope i dont get it
    my throat has been a bit dry lately
    i have these horehound candies that i bought awhile ago
    i have been eating the broken pieces
    they taste quite good
    hopefully they might help ward off any sort of sore throat that might be heading my way
    i think i will go now and cook up a frozen pizza
    unfortunately i am out of yogurt
    because that would have been nice right now
    there is some maple walnut icecream though
    fruit.

    9:33 pm
    the library is conspiring against me
    i have been trying to read more
    and have been
    but lately it seems they will not send me a book
    i have read a couple books by some lady
    & i put her first book on hold, but then i saw that it is 'on order'
    so i put another of her books, which i thought was available, on hold
    and it was taking a long time, so i looked and i guess it was not available, i am on a waiting list
    so i put another one on hold and it came, but ARG!
    it was the sequel to the first book! the one thats on order.. so i am not going to read it
    then...
    a totally different book i had on hold came in
    it was a book i found on the 'new books' page and looking in the info i recognized that it was by an author that i had read before
    so.. i put it on hold because i thought it was a new book by him
    so i picked it up and started reading it.. and it seemed awfully familiar
    i thought, maybe i put the wrong book on hold?
    and i was looking at it, and at the bottom of the cover it said 'previously published as 'title of the first book i read''
    arg. so its the same damn book with a different title
    so again, no book to read
    but i got a magazine in the mail the other day
    it came on a very rainy day and was thoroughly soaked
    but it looks like it might have some decent articles in it
    i have to take advantage of periods of time when i can read
    i have the ADD.. and when it acts up i cant focus on reading, thats my problem
    i also need to look online to see if i cant find some place with puzzles/games of some sort that i can print off...
    or.. maybe.. i ............... dont know.

    10:38 pm
    i started taking antibiotics yesterday & have noticed them helping already!
    things are quite a bit better actually
    yay!

    last night it snowed!!!
    previously almost all the snow had melted
    tuesday was an especially warm day & i had actually switched to a coat for warmer weather & taken off my scarf
    but today we woke up to this:

    snow!!!!!

    yikes!
    it was really heavy snow, lots of water in it because its still quite warm out
    in fact most of it is already melted already

    when dad got home he showed us this wonderful find!
    the pic. is taken with his phone so its not the best quality

    snowman

    this evening he took me to go see it
    he is still there, but is starting to melt

    tomorrow is egg dying day!
    yay!
    hopefully i wake up in time...
    i think people are coming over around noonish
    i am almost tempted to just stay up and go to sleep after
    i bought 'neon' food colouring so hopefully things will be extra bright!
    i dont know who all is coming except for my sister & my nieces

    right now i am especially thirsty
    i have noticed that i have not been eating too terribly much lately
    not that this is a bad thing, just a thing
    i think a cucumber is calling my name.

    4:17 am
    my sleep is still really screwy
    yesterday scarlett came over for a bit, i did manage to wake up and play with her for a little while
    but gwen came over today & i slept through all of that
    i picked up all my pottery on wed.
    all except 1 piece
    the teacher had left it on the shelf and forgot to fire it
    oh well. she took my # down and said she would drop it off later in a week or two once she gets a chance to fire it
    she forgot to fire a couple of another girls pieces as well
    i still have not shown my mom any of my stuff
    i made some candy dishes for my mom but i think i am going to keep them aside and give them to her for mothers day
    i have been reading a lot lately, as opposed to watching tv
    hopefully i will go to bed early tonight
    dad said something about taking me shopping somewhere or something
    i think to buy fruit
    and getting my blood work done (which i think is late by now)
    so i have to wake up earlier for all that
    i would like to be awake during some day light hours
    i spent much of today cleaning up after timmy cat
    i cleaned his kitty litter when i woke up
    & then twice he has had some bad bouts of diarrhea
    & both times he went completely outside the box
    blah!
    i can say that the floor around the litter box has been cleaned quite thoroughly today
    that cat causes worry
    i am fairly certain that he has some form of ibd
    and has for some time
    mom said she gave him corn water today though, so thats probably what did it
    hopefully he will be feeling better tomorrow
    also my tooth hurts
    i really need to go to the dentist
    & i am afraid to
    not afraid of getting dental work done
    i just know that i need a lot of work & am afraid of what the dentist will say
    yikes.
    i think i will go watch some tv & turn off my mind for a bit.

    8:22 am
    my sleep schedule is totally and completely screwed
    i think its because of the day i got up early? to go out for breakfast for my dad's birthday
    it was pretty screwy to begin with
    but now i am not going to sleep until...
    well, its 8:20ish AM now and after i post this i plan on doing a bit of reading
    so i wont get to sleep until around 9AM
    oh..
    actually i am just thinking now that i have had this cold for a long time and i was sleeping for days and that probably made all this worse as well
    things are just ass backwards now
    sleeping disorders stink
    i reminisce about the days when i could go to sleep at 3ish and wake up before noon
    maybe again some day...
    sigh.

    12:34 pm
    i have had a nasty cold since last thursday
    it consists mostly of a horrible dry hacking cough
    & unhappy bowels
    i have slept a lot and not done much of anything else
    i havent even used the computer this last week
    today was pottery
    i had to go because it was the last class & i needed to glaze everything!
    i took some breaks & went rather slow but it took me the whole 3 hours
    i was very tired after
    i hope everything turns out well
    i go pick stuff up next wed.
    i feel like i need a nap right now
    i do need a drink
    colds suck.

    12:54 am
    had pottery today
    i was hoping i could make a pie plate, but sadly i could not
    not enough time
    today was the second last class and it would not have had a chance to dry enough
    one of the items i made last week was still pretty darn wet as well
    i guess i wrapped it up too tightly
    i ended up unwrapping it and hoping it would dry enough to work with by the end of class
    that kinda worked, but it was still rather soft, i did what i could with it
    today i did all my waxing & painted glaze on some of the buttons i made
    i had made some clay buttons for my aunty, that was rather tedious
    next class is the last class and all i have left to do is glazing
    which shouldnt be too bad, unless i just make a mess
    but thats ok
    we also have a little potluck type thingy
    & i plan on making little tiny cheese cakes in my little mini cupcake pan
    i think i need to buy some more liners for it though
    blahblahblah
    i do not think there is a pottery class next 'term'
    at least not at this location
    i was thinking not to take it anyway, but then i was thinking maybe i would
    but if they dont offer it then that kinda makes up my mind for me
    i am thinking that it is good for me to be in something.. give my life some sort of purpose and structure
    even if its just a little bit, just one night
    i need to start going aquasizing again
    also i need to start doing some MAJOR work on my house
    yes there is some cleaning to do, straightening up, putting things away, finding places for things
    but there are some bigger things too, getting rid of that tv & 2 monitors & that vcr that my uncle said he would take
    that would make a lot of space
    also i think i need to just get rid of a lot more stuff
    i have got rid of a lot, but i need to get rid of even more! its hard because i am a bit of a hoarder
    i would really love to be actively living in my house come spring time & summer
    to be able to start working on some of the things that i want to try and work on
    like baking bread & hand dying techniques & quilting & cheese making & other things that require a place to do them in
    it is SO HARD for me to get motivated though... i wish it wasnt
    i wish i could sit here typing and say i could picture the goal of what things were like before and that tomorrow i could take the first step and go over there and clean for an hour or whatever
    i wish i could say that, but i know come tomorrow it just wont happen
    i just wish i could .. i dont know.. blah.
    there is a whole bunch of stuff in my life right now that needs some work and thought
    and maybe if i actually do a bit of that i will become more responsible
    ick.

    11:59 pm
    had pottery today
    i dropped a cup that i made last week and it broke into a gazillion pieces
    oh well.
    i tried out the wheel again and made a bowl?
    but i am still not getting it .. it turned out lopsided
    i think i am just a crooked person
    alas.
    i also made a dish with star shapes
    my dad is working nights this week so i had my sister take me
    she was supposed to pick me up too
    it finishes at 9:30 and i know she needs to be at work at 10
    so i made sure i was out and ready to go by 9:30
    i was waiting outside, and waiting, and waiting....
    about 9:50 she came, she had forgotten about me, eek!

    i guess my uncle is over...
    boo.
    i can hear him in the kitchen, which kinda sucks..
    he takes over everything
    i should have left over veggies & rice in the fridge
    which i want to fry up & have yummy supper
    he better not have taken them and eaten them, he has done that before
    i guess my mom might have eaten all the rice too?
    i hope not.
    i am really starting to feel quite negative in regards to my uncle
    which is not good
    i need to figure out a way to deal with the negativity and feel more at ease
    its not like he is really doing anything
    its just that everything he does is bothering me
    so that means i need to do something about it.
    blah.
    Thursday, February 23rd, 2012
    8:38 pm
    i just finished grocery shopping
    but am too lazy to bother making anything
    maybe later
    i had pottery yesterday and that went kinda ..blah.
    i brought some burlap because i had seen some cups online that had burlap pattern in them
    so i was going to make a cup
    i got the burlap pattern on the clay and it didnt look how i wanted it too
    but in the end i think its going to turn out pretty good
    i was trying to figure out the size and ended up thinking it looked really neat as a vase/pencil cup sort of thing with really rough edges, so i did that instead
    then i tried to throw stuff at the wheel
    i got everything centered and 3/4 of the way done and then .. i dont know what?
    but it ended up messing everything up.. just a mess
    i tried again, and once again.. blah!
    so i gave up and decided to do something else
    i made a cup that turned out.. fine. and some more buttons for my aunt, square ones
    i might try again at the wheel next week, or just do hand building?
    i think the teacher said there was only 2 more weeks to work on the wheel
    which means there are 3 more weeks of being able to work on stuff & then 1 week of glazing
    i want to make a mug for drB, or something for his desk or something???
    who knows.
    i think if the wheel doesnt like me next week i will just stick with hand building for the rest of the course
    i can get a lot more done that way.

    & i am thirsty.
    i want to buy more green tea extract but i need someone to take me to the place that sells it.
    i have been drinking a lot more water lately, which is really good because i used to drink almost none
    yay me!~

    1:49 am
    i made sweet potato fries
    .. i guess
    i can never get them any good really
    well, first of all i dont fry them, i bake them
    but still, i see lots of recipes online for baked sweet potato fries
    mine always turn out soggy though
    soggy and burnt
    so i figure screw the oil and i just bake them on a silicone mat
    they still taste good, soggy fries
    i wish i could get them better though
    i have managed to make really good regular potato fries in the oven
    alas.

    1:00 am
    today was a lazy day.
    i woke up fairly late
    i went to booster juice to get my free birthday smoothy
    then to pottery
    where i 'trimmed' the stuff i made last week
    i didnt really feel like throwing anything new
    so i made clay buttons for my aunty mary
    the class went by pretty fast & i didnt feel like i got a lot done
    i bought a cherry sundae on the way home but put it in the freezer and havent eaten it yet
    checked my email & i got a gazillion (ok, more like 15 or so) happy birthday messages on facebook
    this was happy stuff
    watched tv with mom & uncle bob
    we were supposed to watch american idol, thats what uncle bob comes to watch
    but the dvr thingy only recorded the first 3 min.. and then we saw the last 10?
    stupid machine.
    it also didnt record criminal minds.
    i think i will make some fake chicken wings
    i would light a sparkler for myself
    but i am not sure where them?
    i think i am going out for dinner with lou tomorrow for a birthday thing cause i couldnt go today
    also, sunday is chuck-e-cheese! for my sister & my family birthday party!!!
    yay!
    Saturday, February 11th, 2012
    11:35 pm
    i have been sleeping so much lately
    blah.
    i got an email today from someone requesting a quote for 500 mini envelopes
    500!
    ugh. i dont know if i want to make 500...
    that is a lot
    i think the most i have made in the past is 300
    it also says he would "would continue to buy more on in the future"
    i suppose this is a good thing
    i am not even exactly sure where my punch is, i think i should make sure i know where that is before i start making any promises
    well,
    first i need to finish these t4s anyway.
    Thursday, February 9th, 2012
    10:29 pm
    my back & legs hurt
    i think i will work on t4 slips tonight
    i plan on doing them online this year
    ... i am always a little nervous about this online business when it comes to anything important
    i always feel like i will press a button and it will disappear forever
    or somehow mutate and mess up and create some huge problem
    this will most likely not happen
    i think even if i dont send the forms online,
    i can fill them out online and then print & mail them
    i have to print them out to give to people anyway
    so, tonight... i ADD!
    oh fun.
    also, taxes changed in the new year and i get 1ยข less each check now.
    the horror.
    12:01 am
    pottery today!
    first try at the wheel
    well, it ended up rather lopsided.. half of it looked like a bowl, half of it looked like a plate
    a bowl/plate
    tried again and i came up with a half decent bowl
    also finished up the things i started last week
    i suppose next week i will work on the wheel a bit more??
    id like to get some bowls out of this session

    now i have to go clean the kitty litter
    fun.
    & make supper
    & sleep in lots tomorrow
    yawn.
    Tuesday, February 7th, 2012
    8:43 pm
    i am feeling cold.
    boo.
    but, yesterday i had a bit of a sore throat, just in one spot really
    and that is gone, so that is good!
    went to dr.b today
    took the bus & the connections must have been fantastic
    i left at 3 & even with stopping at the store to buy a quick drink, i got there at 3:40
    which was my appointment time
    dad got there soon after, i guess he just missed me at home or he would have given me a ride
    of course i didnt actually get in to see the dr until 4:40
    after dad took me grocery shopping
    i got a whole bunch of fruitsations & yogurt, both were on sale & i really like both
    & the first tuesday of every month is 15% off, so double yay!
    oh,
    yesterday i went for my ultrasound
    that went well, it was as easy procedure, not that i thought it would be difficult
    they told me that everything looked fine & normal
    this is good.
    i am still a bit confused as to if the tissue is normal, why is it a hard lump?
    i suppose normal as opposed to malignant?
    but they dont need to do anything about it and thats all that really matters i guess
    ...
    i am feeling a bit hungry
    but i am also feeling lazy & i dont want to prepare anything
    i need to cut up tomatoes & tonnes of garlic & toast some bread to make yummy goodness
    but i think there is also lasagna left overs in the fridge
    hmmm?
    Saturday, February 4th, 2012
    11:05 pm
    ok.
    i went to my sisters house and had some ice cream cake for her birthday(feb2) today, that was yum. i also went and got a quiznos sub earlier but i still have not eaten it.
    ..
    i finally went to the doctor last wed. because i found a small firm lump in my left breast
    i actually found it at the beginning of december but ..well.. guess i am good at procrastinating, especially with doctors. i have an appointment for an ultrasound on monday and we will see what happens from there. because of my age and family history its probably nothing. maybe a cyst, but most cysts are fluid filled and mine seems firm, the ultrasound will tell that. from looking online, another option that i think is possible is fat necrosis caused by when i fell in the tub back in.. oct? i really do not know how to feel about all of this. i am looking forward to getting the ultrasound over with and seeing what that shows.
    i get to see drB on tues, he was away this past week.
    & wed. in pottery i will start to learn how to throw on the wheel. so that should be fun! hopefully it will work & not be horribly frustrating and seemingly impossible! i want to make some bowls this time around & that should be easy enough if i get the hang of it.
    ALSO. i am starting to walk on the treadmill again. yay me.

    11:45 pm
    i have nothing to say
    that could be a lie
    i am not sure.
    Saturday, January 28th, 2012
    1:23 am
    spent some time with the nieces today
    that was all good and dandy
    watched some movies with my uncleR
    that was also fine
    uncleB came over to 'watch' the movies as well
    and i give him credit there, he actually did watch and not talk through the entire thing
    but in between he was talking and GOSH.
    sometimes he bugs the hell out of me
    uncleR was talking about something he saw online about a man who accidentally shot himself in the head with a nail gun and ended up with a nail in his head and didnt even know it
    he ended up going to the doc a day or 2 later with a headache and they found a nail in his brain
    well.
    uncleB starts going on and on and ON about how thats impossible
    how a nail gun cant shoot a nail into someones head unless the guy had it pointed directly into the skull
    how sometimes even a bullet ricochets off a skull and doesnt go through
    this is impossible, it could never happen.. etc.. etc...
    i was saying how i am sure that many people have accidentally got shot in the head with a nail gun and that they are pretty powerful and that the ricocheting and all that is about trajectory
    but no, IMPOSSIBLE! it was on youtube, and do i believe everything on youtube
    i said that it doesnt matter where its from, its that his whole argument is that no matter what, everything my uncleR said is wrong
    he was pissing me off so i just said, ok, drop it.
    then he started with, dont i get to have an opinion? what, i dont get an opinion?
    i just ignored him..
    my uncleR jokingly told him to go post it on youtube
    WELL. i said drop it, and i will with him, but just for my own smug satisfaction:
