Not much going on right now; it’s very much same-old, same-old. Going to work, coming home, watching tv, being broke – not really a lot has changed. I’ve been getting a bunch of compliments at work for helping the new girl with her training. That’s always nice. Still hate reading a script 6 hours a…

Ebay Listing
I’m helping my Mom try to sell one of her really amazing quality estate jewelry pieces, so I’ve listed it on Ebay for her. It’s 14k White Gold ring with 2 carets total weight of diamonds. Retail value is close to $5,000 but she’s asking $1,250 for it. It’s a size 6 but can be…
Canyonero
Somebody at my work has a Simpson's sense of humor. Remember the car Krusty was endorsing, the Canyonero? (Not fit for driving on any road surface, tendency to explode? YouTube Video Clip Here) Well, I saw this in the parking lot the other day, laughed and had to share. Text msg from M Posted via…
$918
Just add it to the mounting pile of debt I already have gotten myself into this month. We had to get Love’s car fixed yesterday – to the tune of $918. Which is better then the estimate of $1400 (+tax) that the first place gave us, but still…nine hundred dollars. Love’s compressor was going bad….
Migraine Hell
It’s amazing how slow time passes when you have a migraine; when you’re in pain. Woke up Sunday with a horrible migraine that never went away or got better in anyway despite everything I tried and even taking my last Immitrex. It still hadn’t gone away by Monday morning so I wound up having to…
Continued Car Problems
Damn car problems persist. Two weeks ago, we dropped $640 to fix mine. Love’s is also broken. So Love’s been driving mine to work since he drives 45 minutes one way and I drive 4 miles. Well today, we spent $300, only to find out neither were the problem. They both were problems but not…
Chilling
Living in Florida, on the world-famous Suncoast with beaches like Clearwater Beach, St. Petersburg, and more in my backyard, images of oil coated waves and shorelines are especially chilling. Shots of oil in the spray of a wave break are sickening. And images of the devastation and scale of the impact of BP’s oil spill…
Burnt Dinner
Burning dinner sucks. Burning dinner when it's pretty much the last edible thing in your fridge and you're flat broke until Friday sucks worse. (The pizza looks worse in real life, trust me, it's completely fried.) Text msg from M Posted via email from memoryanddream’s posterous
Little Bit Of This, Little Bit Of That
Nothing terribly exciting to report the last week or so. Being broke puts a damper on interesting plans, so we mainly sat around the house over the weekend. Monday of course, saw me back to work. I did the 9am-3pm shift that day because Love was supposed to see his new doctor at 3:30pm but,…
Swagbucks
I’m going to pass on a link today for a search engine that you use just like google, but which randomly gives you “swag bucks.” Those swag bucks can be turned in for all sorts of things. What I do is turn in 450 of them for $5 amazon gift cards. I’m up to $60…
Pink Ribbon (The Return)
Look what's back on my car! Yay! Thank you!! Text msg from M Posted via email from memoryanddream’s posterous
Wonderful
So the jeans sold for 99 fucking cents (the opening bid) and the other pants didn’t sell at all. Basically not only did I give the pants away for free, once I factor in fees, my time, gas and such, I lost money on the deal. All I wanted to do was fucking get some…
So Much For That
So much for a relaxing day off. Instead, I’ve been stressed out all day and my stomach and head hurt. All over something that’s so fucking stupid it’s not even funny. For the record, don’t try and treat a small business like they’re not a business. It’s insulting. You would never expect Amazon to deliver…
So Much To Say, So Hard To Get It Said
And…it’s Tuesday again. Been meaning to update for a few days now but I really haven’t felt like it, there hasn’t been much to say that wasn’t a downer and there just didn’t seem much point. But I’m at work and I’ve already had a very busy morning so I felt like I needed a…

Really bad day. I am so tired of things being so damned hard all the time. I honestly dont know how much more i can take. Text msg from M Posted via email from memoryanddream’s posterous
