I’m going to say “melting” is the only literal statement as to how I feel right now. It’s been so hot for the last few days that my whole body is rejecting the heat. My back is bothering me because I can’t sleep in a comfortable position, my leg is acting up for some strange reason because of my bad circulation in my left leg and I’m so close to shaving my head it’s unreal.
I live in a brick building so anyone who knows anything about heat, you’d know that brick usually absorbs sun light and slowly lets it go all night long. In the winter it’s nice because it warms up the house so the heating bill isn’t that high. The problem is it does the same thing in the summer so when it’s 85° outside it’s more or less 90°-95° in the house. When my sister got home from work last night, I had her put my AC in. I was able to sleep comfortably for the first time in a few days. The damage to my back was already done though – I’m sure it will cool down over time.
I’m having a really hard time cracking my back the way I used to. Twisting doesn’t seem to do it anymore. I used to just be able to sit down, twist to the left than the right, and pop everything. Now I’m lucky to get a little pop out of it. Joe used to really do some good there. He would bear hug me, pick me up and shake quick and it would pop everything I needed it to pop. Since that hasn’t been done in over 3 months you can imagine how tense I am.
Digitalcameras.freepay.com
I’m still waiting for the camera site to process my approval form. They said it would take up to four weeks. If my status hasn’t changed by June 1st, I’ll send in another approval form. This time I’ll put tracking information with it so I can assure that they get it. It took me a long time to get all of those referrals together, and now it’s taken even longer for them to approve it. The changes Freepay has made to their network really suck though. I still don’t understand the point in sending them an approval form via snailmail, only to have them process everything on the internet anyway. Computer based is usually much easier, and faster for that matter. I’m sure I’ll actually get it, I just hope it doesn’t take much longer than it already has.
Moving around
I’m outside right now enjoying a semi-cool breeze and a cig. I felt cramped sitting in my room. The point of mobility is to actually move around. I spent the bulk of yesterday moving over the last bits and pieces from my desktop. All of my fonts, adobe/jasc brushes and other items that were important to have with me. I’m refusing to use Outlook for the time being because I’m unable to network it properly. I know it can be done, I just haven’t figured it out yet. The network itself is up and running though. I can easily access the two other computers in the house so it’s easier to move files around. The one thing I keep forgetting to do is get the Limewire download link from my desktop. I’ve been using Limewire pro for quite some time so using anything else is really annoying.
Graphics Block
I’m in the process of working on a WordPress template for someone and I’m having a really shitty experience with it. In my head – the image is absolutely perfect. Trying to draw it out in Adobe is a completely different story. I’m sure I’ll actually get it done but for now it’s proving to be the most annoying thing in the world.
Looking for work
I’ve decided to find myself a part time job off the ‘net. I’m only bringing in about 15k a year and since I’d like to have a car and be moved out of here before 2007, I’m going to have to step it up a notch. It’s my goal to have about 10k saved up before the end of the year and the only way to do that would be to work in an environment where I have a constant flow of having something to do. The ‘net is great, but retail is looking much better right now. I don’t think I’d ever go back to CVS but I’m consideyring Eckerd or FYE. It absolutely has to be something local.
Alicia suggested that I send my resume in to the security company where she’s currently working. It’s $9 an hour and she says it’s a fairly easy job. I’m considering it, but I just have no way of getting to Oyster Bay every day. I know that if her and I worked the same hours she wouldn’t mind bringing me, but the days that she couldn’t would mean waking up my father. This is why I absolutely have to get my own car, so that’s why I need the money. I don’t know, I’m sure I’ll work something out over time.
In any event. I’m going to finish my cig then go lay down in my room. It’s much cooler in there than it is anywhere else and that’s just where I’d like to be right now.
I always see graphics in my head perfectly, and they never turn out as I planned them too. Good luck on getting a part time jon, I think after I graduate I’ll be looking for one too.
Thanks for the get well wishes. The stomach problem has to deal with the tremors that I’ve been having for about a year and a half now. It just got worse. We’re trying something different, and my doctor cut back on a lot of medication that I was taking. And decreased the haldaul(sp?). But even at that if I get upset or something happens, than it starts to suck in really bad. I hope you don’t go tthrough this at all…it majorly sucks. Oh, and I borrowed some color scheme from your previous layout. I hope you don’t mind at all? If you do, just let me know and I’ll take it down.
Krissy: I don’t mind, as long as it’s just the colors and not the whole template.
You guys have extreme weather huh! Ours only varies from 14c-22c all year around. 14 in winter & up to 22c in summer.
I’m still jealous of your laptop! I wish I could move around my house while using it.. hehe. We don’t have wireless internet anyway, so probably wouldn’t be able to do much!
Why don’t you go see a chiropractor? I go one every 2 months to keep me inline 🙂
Krissy: My router only cost me $5 because I had a gift certificate and it was on sale, so I basically only paid the taxes fee on it. I don’t have insurance to see a chiropractor and paying out of pocket around here would cost me way too much money. It’s an excellent idea just unaffordable right now unfortunately.
It’s hot here too. I don’t want to do anything. In fact tomorrow, I don’t plan on moving at all. LOL. Unless, you know, I have to.
i hate being hot. i’d rather sit around freezing to the point of my feet turning blue than to be the least little bit hot. so i feel ya there. like it was cold last week then today boom it was so hot you can’t hardly stand it. a nice in between would have been nice.
and my job search thoroughly sucks as well. ahh i’m so positive!
It was pretty hot hear about last week then it got really cold which was some strange, strange weather because usually around here when it gets hot it stays hot until next winter.
I have a horrible back too. (I injured it when I was nine). It actually makes it funny when my mother, stepdad and I are together (my mother has arthritis in her spine, my stepdad has a bad back from a birth defect, combined with bad surgury, and working on a herc plane for years). If we sit in a position too long, when we stand up, we’re like 100 year olds, suffling around, bent at the waste.
I need to save up money too. Though this summer I’ve got a full time job babysitting. I think I’ll move out once Dad gets out of the military, and we have too move out of PMQs. Which won’t be until at the earliest this time next year.
And I don’t know if I can ever go back to working retail. Though I did do an awesome job actually avoiding doing my work.
I’d never be able to work in fast food again. I mean it was a teenage thing for me and very early 20’s so I’d just not be able to do it. Retail isn’t that bad though. I contemplated the drug stores around but latley the drug stores are robbed for Oxycontin constantly with like 2 getting shot and killed and two others taking it home and od’ing on it. I can’t deal with that.
My back is bad at the very base of my spine. It’s the fibro. Sometimes my legs will numb out if I sit in a position for too long. For the most part I’m feeling it in my neck most of all now and that’s way better than spinal! I can’t complain.
Very Very nice information here… Thanks
