Shock to the system

I found out on Tumblr that Davy Jones died today. I’m still floored by the news.

Toenails

I accidentally kicked the toaster oven (we have no counter space, so it sits on the floor in the way) and broke a third of my right big toe nail off. Luckily, the nail broke in layers, meaning there is still a nail attached, just nothing grown over the toe. The good news is it’s the nail that’s been holding a bruise for over a year. This may have a positive effect on the ingrown part (which was not broke off).

On the bathroom front, I put everything back in. The hole is still there, just covered by a table leaf. Oh, when the furnace broke, the ceiling had to come down again in order to turn off the hot water tap for upstairs. empath put it back up and didn’t bother with the strapping to make it look good.

Thank god for auto saving drafts! Laptop went crazy and deleted the post.

There are only 4 out of 8 screws holding that section up because BIL removed a 2×4 when he replaced the cold water line.

On the computer front, empath filed our tax returns on Friday via e-filing and supposedly will take 2 weeks to get a refund. We’ve agreed to spend the money on a new computer for me, a decent video camera (rather than our regular picture-taking camera), a new office chair for empath. He made enough income to be part of the poverty level!

Boredom sets in

Though I have taken over the laptop, I’m quite bored. I can’t play games or do much writing because this stupid thing moves the cursor and reboots when it likes. All I’ve been doing is watching YT vids and reading books via Project Gutenberg. I am considering playing on hubby’s computer when he’s at work, except I would have to hook up a normal mouse (he uses a trackball). I’m missing making vids as well.

The furnace is fixed. I think they added a new hot water reservoir rather than a new furnace. A hot shower never felt so good.

On the diet side, I’m down to 280# as of this morning. I’m losing inches from my hips mostly (down 5″ so far). If I could get more exercise into my day, more might come off faster. My biceps are muscular and the whattles are being lifted. 30# left for my initial goal of 250# by Nov 11, 2012. I’m eating about 1600 calories/day and burning 2300.

We still have a 2 foot hole in the bathroom floor. It was a week on Saturday that BIL was supposed to replace the floor. On hubby’s next day off, we’re moving all the shit back into the bathroom.

I think my psoriasis on my arm is healing up finally. It’s pretty flaky atm and it takes all my will to not pick the loose skin away. I’m praying it will be healed completely in time for the con in late April.

When I get my new computer, I’m going to put serious time  into writing a book. I have it well sorted in my head. Would be great to get it out and published. By published, I mean making money rather than thrown out on the internet for free. The most difficult part for me is getting feedback from editors/proofreaders.

HVD

Last night, we went to Pizza Delight for Valentine’s supper. I ordered grilled chicken panini, which is just about the lowest calorie meal, but it came with spinach that still had the stems attached. I picked it out and ate half and didn’t bother to ask for a doggie bag. empath ate chicken and ribs. It was okay. It’s so damned difficult to go out to eat and enjoy the meal.

ION, the furnace has leaky pipes. Sears dude is here atm, hopefully to fix it, because we have no heat. I’m wearing 2 layers of clothes and a Thinsulate toque. It also means I haven’t bathed in 4 days. I feel disgusting. My scalp is so fucking itchy! For me, it’s gross to be this dirty and wear clean clothes. Sadly, with it being 60*F in the house, I don’t have a choice unless I want to die of hypothermia. :/

I’m feeling like such a loser atm. Living with ILs, no job, sick.

Supposedly going to see Bryan Adams second week of April. No tickets bought, and I honestly doubt we’ll go since empath is forgetful.

Hope everyone is having a better Valentine’s than me. <3

+laptop does whatever the fuck it wants. this is the second time typing this out.+

Dr. Tinycat sent me a reply email on the 3rd. I only remembered to check my emails last night. Anyway, he told me not to try to top his pics (1 of  a nearby beach, the other center stage at 1 of his many AC/DC concerts). It’s the cat part of me that’s so contrary. I want to find someone who is genius at Photoshop to shop myself with Bon Scott. I had a brilliant idea this morning. I know of an actress/singer he’s hot for, so I  found a sexy pic of her and emailed him back. I’m eager to find out how he will top that.

During the first attempt at this post, the laptop decided to skip back a few links in the browser history, losing what I’d written. The more I’m on this piece of shit makes me grateful I didn’t buy a notebook for writing.

Dead computer

+typos will abound this was typed on a worthless laptop+

 

Video card died Monday night. Am stuck on shitty laptop for next 3 months.

Have too keep an eye on cursor because it likes to go back to the middle of sentences and fuck me over.

Keyboard is too small to type properly.

External mouse is only good for movement.

I am ready to throw this fucking shitbag outside it;s pissing me off so  much.

And Dr. Tinycat wants me to get an iPad!

Been going about to let people know i’m not dead, just cut off from accessing the internet properly.

Oh and this piece of shit likes to reboot whenever and without warning.

FUCK ME.\
