It's a wash

Hola,

Let's add some ethnic flair today. I think that's all I have in me, although I do dream in Spanish sometimes. It's very basic Spanish mixed with English, but it's fun. Keeps me a little fresh with another language at least.

Oh, so it's been a week. Work started out hectic with my manager having a load of crap dumped on her and while she was a trooper you could see the stress level rising. I felt bad, so I gave her a can of Coke. One tries to help when one can.

Also, my first boyfriend ever, Will, has his birthday on Sunday. He is officially 32. Man, the time flies! Sadly, his mom died a few days before that. Not a way to celebrate your birthday. So, far from what he's telling me he is being a trooper. Will is a super nice guy and I hope he finds a super nice girl some day. I was just not the girl for him. But we are texting friends thanks to the techonology of cell phones. So, please send him positive thoughts during this grieving process.

Our washing machine finally stopped working, kaput. We were able to get a new set, a washer and dryer, since our dryer sounds like an airplane, from Menards. Praise Menards! They had a sale going on and the no interest, no payments until 2010. However, the washing machine had a broken piece on it discovered after it was delivered. Not a huge deal, but we still don't have a working washing machine. And there is not laudromat in our small town. It's at least a twenty mile drive to one if not more. So, if you come over, it may be a bit smelly. Just kidding.

Also, when they delivered the washing machine, there was only one delivery driver. Eric had to assist with that, which left him whipped and sore. This is not how he should be recouperating. He is still slowing working into things. So, a little unhappy about that at the moment, but what can you do?

We also have company coming this weekend. So, I am hoping I can find some clean bedding in the linen closet. You know, none of our beds have the same size sheets. So, it's irritating to make sure that we have the correct sheets for the correct bed clean at whatever time.

You know, I think there's a reason I've always hated laundry. Anyway.

The sun is shining, the snow is melting, and I'm hungry. Have a great weekend ya'll.

It's a diet coke day

I do believe I had been abandoned by the blogging world. It is punishment for not posting enough. I also know that posting so infrequently punishes me. My creative juices don't get to flow, well they do, but just don't go anywhere. Then I wind up in this funk where I want life to be "different," adventurous," "new," and so on. But when those things actually happen, I'm terrified! The damming that occurs without blogging gets me flooded with emotion and I had no sand bags to stop the water.

Speaking of water, I need to check into flood insurance. They says it's going to happen again. So, I better call the insurance man and see if he'll take more of my money. I am sure he'd be more than happy to do so. I merely need to find more money to give him. Perhaps a second job? That idea is not appealing, but I will do what I have to do.

We could cut down on the amount of money we spend on television, but it's our only form of entertainment in the small town we live in. There's not much else to do, especially in the winter.

Well, this short blog is over. I hope every has a wonderful weekend. I'm unsure what mine will bring as The Boy is crabby. He's not feeling well again. Poor guy. Leukemia sucks.

Hello Blog Land,

How is everyone out there?

You know, I have few wants in life, but one of my desires is to have internet access at home. Alas, this is not to be for now. Eric and I are struggling financially at the moment, but hopefully things will improve. It's a bit scary though when you hear the news of the economy. Makes one uncertain about nearly everything else in life.

Money is tight and so are my clothes. Another woe is that I have really packed on the pounds and I am unsure where it's come from and why? I think part of it is some of the medications I am on can cause weight gain. This seems a silly side effect for diabetes medication, but what can you do? So, starting next week Eric and I are going to attempt a healthier lifestyle. We'll see how that actually works in reality. But maybe if we do it together some good can come of it.

I am fairly certain I am about done with winter, but that's not really a choice we get is it? Another choice we do not get is whether or not we have CBS. Currently our dish carrier is fighting with the local station about how much money the local station should be paid. They have not come to an agreement yet and I am unsure they will any time soon. So, no Big Bang Theory for us. I blame the local affiliate. What they are asking for is rediculous. It's akin to me wanting to sell my house for real estate prices in New York City. Well, even with the down turn in the housing market, that just isn't realistic.

Eric has had a couple of bouts of illness, a virus which he received antibiotics for and a tummy bug. The medications he is on can cause a suppressed immune system so we must be diligent about keeping such pesky germs under control. It's not the same as just a regular person catching a cold or getting the flu. Nor is it the same when I clean the toilet knowing I may come into contact with chemo. Life changes and if either of us cared about my reproductive health, life would be a lot more difficult. But since we don't, we're a bit more lax about me coming into contact with that stuff (don't get dirty folks- that's a no no during chemo).

Well, I best be off. Head home on what may be an ice rink. The last time it was icy I saw a snow plow tipped over. One stays home after seeing that.
