Sister's Here And All's Okay

Well, I missed writing my journal entry last night too. I get so wrapped up doing something else, or get too tired and I just didn't do it. It sucks, because I really need to make sure I keep this up. I think in a lot of ways this helps me.

Anyway, last night Diana arrived. She was actually pretty pleasent. She was really tired though still being on Florida time. It took me awhile and I slept like crap, but not because she was here. My nose wouldn't unclog and my nose spray wasn't working. It was so bad that my mom let me sleep until after noon.

Once I was awake, I got dressed. Diana had made me a breakfast sandwich which was great. Then my mom wanted me to take her and Diana to get their nails done. It took a little bit, I took them. It wasn't very far away. In fact, it was near Kahoots so I swung by McDonald's and got myself a Diet Dr. Pepper and went to the pet store. Once there, I got crickets for Tubbie and I got five goldfish for Mr. Crabs. He's eaten at least one already.

Anyway, when I got home, I took in the trash cans. Grabbed a gallon of water from the truck with my purse, my drink and the critters. Once I got into the house, I got the minnows and the crayfish out of the tank, cleaned out the tank, put the water in it and first dumped the crayfish in followed by the minnows and finally the new goldfish. I then gave Tubbie her crickets. After that, I got on the computer and Cafemom until my mom called to let me know they were ready. Picking them up was no problem, but I was feeling drained after that little bit of effort. 

I continued to play on Cafemom until dinner. Dinner was garlic butter shrimp, saute'd veggies which were fantastic and then some bread. I finished off what everyone left. It was definitely tasty. After that, I did most of the dishes and wiped down the counters. But I just went back to Cafemom and watching about Casey Anthony - Tot mom. All I can say is that she better be found guilty. I have no doubt she is. 

I really didn't do much of anything, I guess. Just posted stuff on Cafemom in the groups. Found some good recipes that I might think about trying. And the group owner of Bipolar Diaries let me advertise my groups. Hopefully SOMEONE will join one of the groups. I also found more surveys for my survey fun group. I found an easy way to pull surveys off Bzoink or whatever that site was called.

Anyway, I guess that's it. I'm going to check Cafemom once again before I go to sleep. I'm feeling okay, but kinda in a rut. Like I went several steps backwards instead of moving forward. I guess it's just something I needs to work on. I need to get back to classes and start going to the gym again for swimming. I just have to make sure I do it right, I guess - and have plenty of rash treatment cream. I hate that the pool gives me a rash. Well, that's finally it. Until tomorrow . . .

         

Had a Good Productive Day!

Well, my day started early. I only got about 3 or mayber 4 hours of sleep last night. I think I was just too wound up to sleep. I knew I had to wake up early to get the brakes taken care of.

It was hard waking up. I downed a 5-hour energy AND I fixed my coffee before I left. When I got the car there, I was glad. I think I was there for at least three hours. I read for a good portion of it. "State of Fear" is getting really good!! But I also watched one of the Navy Aircraft Carriers come into port after being gone for 6 months. I can't remember the name if the ship though, which sucks. But it was awesome to watch the families waiting and to see the soldiers finally leave the ship. See the first hugs and first kisses . . . Awesome! It also turned out that it wasn't the front brakes I needed to take care of, but the rear brakes! :-P At least it was the same price. I walked out of there having spent only $112! Cool, huh?

After that, I was starving so I stopped at Sombrero's where I got a Chili Relleno Burrito. It wasn't as good as Cotija's. Plus they put sauce all over it and I didn't taste any sour cream in it. That sucks. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I wanted. I just didn't want to drive down to Santee. I suppose next time I'll have to.

When I got home Jordan wanted to go out and get a couple of burgers. I needed to put fuel in the car so we headed out again. We went to the gas station and I almost forgot what side of the car my gas tank was on. No, I'm not tired at all! :-P But we got fuel and it was a great price. I think it was $3.77 per gallon. Or something close to that. Then we swung around to McDonald's. I got him a couple of McDoubles and I got myself a Diet Dr. Pepper. After that, we headed over to Kahoots to get crickets and fish. While I was there, I asked if they'd take a red-eared slider if I brought one in. When I told her it was the size of my hand, she said it was big enough to sell. I also asked what Crayfish eat . . . well, it turns out they eat goldfish!!! :-P So basically I'm buying fish now, for the crayfish that Cassie named Mr. Crabs. I have to keep him! Anyway, we went home long enough to have Jordan dump the water out of the little tank for the turtle and then brought the turtle back to Kahoots. As soon as he was in the tank with the other turtles he was digging it! That was just awesome to watch. I know he's much happier. And as it turns out, it is a HE!! Not a She! I was pretty happy getting that done, knowing that Waterclaw was going to be much happier!

Coming home, I played on Cafemom for awhile and then I took off to go to therapy. My therapist is moving offices and will be at the new office by the time of my next appointment. What's cool, is the place is closer to me! Yay! But I had a good session. Talked about Cassie. Talked about the kids in general. Talked about my dad and how depressed I was on the 13th, but how I feel better now. AND I told him about finally dropping Greg. EVERYONE has told me to dump him and this isn't the first time. Dr. Tess felt it was definitely a significant event. I think it was time. It needed to be time.

When I got home I heated up some spaghetti. I watched news about Tot Mom - Casey whatever her last name is. I HATE her. I think she's a lying, murderous BITCH. She should have killed herself. And since she didn't, I hope the state does! My mom also made some lemon meringe pies - little ones. They were so good! I would have liked it a tad bit sweeter, but it's still delicious. And after that I went back to Cafemom and watching about Tot Mom. Even now, I finished watching "Haunted Collector" and I think I'm going to check back in with Cafemom, but then I'm going to shut things down, do some reading and go to sleep a little earlier than I have been.        

A Little Excitement!

Today was a pretty quiet day for the most part. I slept until around 11:00am. Took my mom to get her blood taken for some tests. I went to Trader Joe's and got something to eat - a chicken cesare wrap with baked onion rings and water. I also got some chocolate peanut butter eggs. But I haven't gotten into them yet. Then after my mother was done, we ended up going to Denny's. Rather than a grand slam I got the sampler platter - well, the half one anyway. It was great, but another part of my tooth broke and the hard stuff tore up my gums a little. When we got home, I took a nap.

After that, my mom asked me if I'd take her to the store. We went to Albertson's. She got some fish and a couple of other things. I got a family sized cheese enchiladas dinner. I also got water and some temptations for dessert. By the time we got out of there I was down $37. But as I went to stop at Kahoots to get some crickets for Tubbie, I realized I'd left my purse back in the cart, like an idiot!! So I race back and the cart boy has it on top of the carts he's pushing in. I let him know it was mine and he gave it back. Everything was in it, but I couldn't believe I'd done it. That's what happens when I feel off. And I did feel off.

From there we went home. Fixed dinner. Watched some TV - "Deadliest Catch." It was after that when I was in my own room watching whatever was on while I play on the computer (wanted to play Happy Pets) when my mom asked if I could hear that. Turned out we were both hearing noises from upstairs. Clumping noises and scratches that sounded like they were at the door. My mom ended up calling the police. It took them a bit to get here, while I stayed on the phone with the dispatcher until they arrived. They went upstairs and found . . . NOTHING! Except a BIG white cat on the upstairs patio, but that didn't explain the scatching I heard or the loud noises either, I don't think. But either way, there was nothing up there. 

Now, I am exhausted and I need to go see Greg so he can help me with fuel. Guess I will bite the bullet and go, though I feel really on edge. But I'll survive. I always do. But what a day! Definitely a little excitement involved.
