No Longer Employed

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

This is both a good thing and a bad thing.
I was enjoying my work at the gas station, and my co-workers were all pretty awesome (which is definitely rare). However, the physicality of the work was doing me in.
I’ve mentioned several times that I have fibromyalgia. This is an illness tied in with chronic fatigue [...]

An Old Favorite

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

I had the opportunity recently to get Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness. It’s a game I haven’t played since I was in high school, but it’s a classic and stands the test of time well.
I keep hearing about “World of Warcraft” but we can’t afford a subscription to anything and I really don’t want a [...]

Window Shopping

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

There are times even now I catch myself doing it. I’ll see something nifty on a commercial or hear about a friend or forum buddy who has gotten some thing new and so I’ll start searching for it. Most recently it was the Sony Vaio. I really wish I could get a new laptop but [...]

Almost Three

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

The munchkin’s third birthday is on Sunday and I worked out with his pediatrician that we could come in for his three year check up on Monday given I wasn’t sure when I would next have days off from work.
We of course had to fill out a ton of paperwork, assessments of his motor control [...]

REPO – The Genetic Opera

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

I haven’t had much time to chill lately, and what time I’ve had off I’ve taken advantage of to catch up on certain things that I like to watch. One movie that we’ve been recommended by a friend was “REPO: The Genetic Opera” at first I wasn’t sure that it would be to my tastes. [...]

Self Portrait Sunday

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

First time in a long time.

I’ve been feeling quite out of sorts lately as I may have said; plus I’ve been very busy with family, job hunting and all the rest of it. Today is the last day of a five shift week; but I have three days off Monday-Wednesday to catch up with things. [...]

Adjusting

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Work is very tiring after three years being at home. I thought I expended a lot of energy running around after the munchkin; but that’s NOTHING compared to the amount of energy needed to work on your feet for eight hours straight.
I’m seriously hoping that I get used to it, because right now the FMS [...]

Out of Training

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

I’m officially out of training now; and have my first “day off” which will be tomorrow, unless I have to cover an overnight tomorrow to make up for the fact that I can’t do the one on Tuesday because the munchkin would have to be left by himself for two hours and there’s no way [...]

Doctor or Personal Trainer?

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

In case I haven’t mentioned it before. I really, really like my new doctor. In some respects he’s reminding me of a personal trainer. I went to see him yesterday because my sleeping medication had run out, and while I had an appointment scheduled for the end of the month, especially with the prospect of [...]

Today is the First Day…

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

…of the rest of my life?
I feel that way at the minute though. It’s my first day at a new job. I was afraid I wouldn’t have enough time this morning so I showered last night. Of course now I’m up 45 minutes before the alarm was supposed to go off because I’m nervous.
This is [...]
