No Longer Employed

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 [...]

An Old Favorite

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 [...]

Window Shopping

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

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 [...]

REPO – The Genetic Opera

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. [...]

Adjusting

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 [...]

Out of Training

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?

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…

…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. [...]

Busy Times

It’s been a busy few days; and it looks as though that busy time is going to see out the week. The past few days I’ve been filling out a lot of paperwork because I have a job prospect (finally!). Today I have to do training and I have an appointment. I may well need [...]
