Reminder...

There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.

To these people I say grow up.

Here's a bit of info people...the web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty site has disappeared.

I pay for this site. It's mine. That means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't, it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

*gets off soapbox*

Playing Catch-Up
Oy, what a weird week it's been. So of course Tuesday I have a bad sore throat which is always the first sign of a cold for me.

Wednesday I woke up and my throat was better. So I was relived, though not sure if it was a fluke and/or threat passed since I've had a sore throat, a day or two off, then the full cold hit me in the past. I was planning on just taking it easy since I was unsure how things were going to progress, but my Mom called. She was nearby for a Dr's appointment and wanted to know if I wanted to get together for a little while. So I said sure and we ran a few errands. I mailed out my Full Moon Swap package, and then she wanted to stop at Super Wal-Mart where she proceeded to buy me a pumice stone, some lotion, a nail polish and some eye shadow. I don't know why - she just went on a mini girly item spree. She also got herself some nailpolish too. Then we hit the mall so I could exchange a pair of pants I ordered from Gap.com with a birthday gift card. (They arrived with a rip in them.) That was about a 45 minute fiasco. Hopefully, another pair is on it's way, but I'm not holding my breath. I have a bad feeling that it will arrive wrong or something.

So I got out a little and felt mostly ok. I've been fatigued lately though and sleeping between 9-10 hours a night the last few nights.

Then yesterday, Thursday, I didn't feel great again. My throat was a little white in the back and I was running a fever. (Ironically, 98.6F which is 1-2 degrees higher then normal for me.) I was worried that maybe I had somehow gotten strep - the white dot on the back of my throat - and panicked because it's impossible to get anitbiotics when you don't have insurance. (Like, last time I had a UTI, it cost me $50 for an office visit to confirm what I already knew and then the Rx cost.) I took a nap in the evening because I was tired again.

Then, my nose started going crazy. It was just running and running and running. I took some benedryl thinking it might help and if it made me drowsy, no biggie. Normally, when my nose bugs me (allergies) I take claritin, but it tends to keep me from sleeping. So I didn't want to take it. Well, the benedryl made me drowsy but wasn't helping my nose. So I took something else and that didn't help either. Finally, several hours after the runny nose started, I gave up, took half a claritin and went to bed. Where I prompty slept the sleep of the medicated until 12:30pm.

Which brings us to today. Friday. Where I feel fine. Just a little of a medicine "hangover." (You know, when you oversleep from a medication which makes you groggy.) No white dot in my throat. Temp's back down to 97.6F. (Still about half a degree high for me, but certainly in tolerable range.) I feel a little worse for the wear - like I've overdone it - but I don't feel sick. And my nose isn't bothering me. So damned if I know what is going on. Its some kind of on-again/off-again cold or something. It's really just damned odd.

Creativity - Runes!
I did mange to do something creative though this week. I made two more sets of runes. These are going to go for sale on PhoenixFire Designs as soon as I get a chance to update it.

I made a pearlescent set with gold writing and a dual reddish/copper and beige swirled set with silver writing.


This is the red/copper and beige swirl set blank to show the variation in the colors.


This is a close-up the finished set.


And this is a close up of the pearlescent set with gold.


I think they came out really nice and I hope they'll sell. :)

Update to Pedicure Info
I pumiced my feet the other day. This is an awkward process. I did it in the shower as several people had recommended, but (a) I kept almost falling over and (b) I'm blind as a bat without my glasses, so it's hard to see if I'm actually doing anything or not when I can't really see my feet. I moisturized them too and I guess we'll see how it goes. I still want to get a pedicure to kinda get me started but I'm still not sure where to go for this kind of thing. (And without any gal pals local to give me recommendations, I'm going in blind when it comes to picking a place.) I do appreciate everyone's suggestions and info though. I'm just so badly ungirly - despite my best efforts otherwise - I need all the help I can get!

And...we're spent
Ok, I probably should have made this more then one entry - too many subjects all in one - but, eh, I didn't feel like it. Hopefully, it was still readable. I'm not sure what we're doing this weekend because I'm not sure yet if I'm actually sick or not. How silly is that? We were thinking of going to Orlando, but jeez...don't want to do it if I'm not well. Hrm. Anyway, I think I'll wrap up here. I'm starving (didn't have an appitite last night but do today. Good sign?) so I need to eat lunch. TTFN.
