STRESS! STRESS! STRESS!

I’m ok…. Really I am…. I AM DANGIT NOW LET IT GO!!!! Sheesh….

Been pretty nutty here this past week, spent a few hours cleaning the house Sunday due to all the dust from the construction site which I notice today didn’t matter and was just time wasted so we get to do that again.

And now we have to plan on finding a new place to live of course, but I have too much on my plate this week so I will worry about that next week.

I got a nice crunch bench this week, got it online, I tried to get the same thing at a local sports store, but when I asked guy #1 who was working there where I go to get the box, he looked around, asked guy #2 who said they was out as he walked away and then guy #1 looked at me and said “we are out” and quickly walked away so I was standing there dumbfounded….

I go to the front desk and asked for a manager and sure enough…. Turned out to be guy #1… so I laughed and told him what I thought of his customer service and that I would not be back which turned out for the best since I found the exact same thing for $30 cheaper including shipping online

Ho hum…. Not much else to add.

Blah

I am in a pretty crappy mood lately, no desire to do any work, but I have so much work that I have to get done so that makes it worse and now today I cant seem to “wake up”. I woke up just after 8am but laid down in bed at 930am for about 20 mins but did not sleep and then at 1030am I laid on the couch for another 15 mins or so and again did not sleep so I do not think I need sleep, I think I am in just a crappy mood.

We got some somewhat disturbing news this week, I went to pay rent and asked the landlord for another years lease and he told me the owner asked him to ask us if we wanted to buy the house. I said no since honestly we do not want to own another house, and also do not want to stay in Florida any longer then 3 to 5 years and June ‘07 will be 3 years. But what upset me the most was she wanted to sell which means we either have to move before we wanted to and/or there will be a shit load of people coming and going to look over the house.

We had our house on the market for over 8 months in Indiana, and we had people looking at the house 2 to 4 times a week for almost 7 months straight and having to clean and put away all personal effects and then leave for 1-2 hours every time while people look in your closets takes a huge amount of effort which honestly I do not think we have right now. So we are at a cross road, move at the end of the lease or wait it out and see how bad it gets and then move which would be more stress.

We are on good terms with our landlord/company so I know they will be willing to find us a new place if we needed it, but even as run down as this place is; we do like living here, which makes it worse. This is a great rental, just not something I would want to own.

Last year when we had all the A/C issues the home owners brother, who owns his own A/C business was the one to do all the work, and he and I became friends, so when I heard that his sister wanted to sell, I called him (she lives out of the country) to see if he knew anything on how badly she wanted to sell and that was the first he heard of her wanting to sell. So he called her and she confirmed she wanted to sell and he told me last night he would have her contact me. (We spoke last year on other issues) Pauline and I want to know how serious she is on wanting to sell, is this something she will be “gung ho” on and try to do as quickly as possible or will she just put it on the market and see if anyone wants it.

Afraid of history repeating itself?

This is a good letter to the Editor in Lafayette, IN

Afraid of history repeating itself?

As a Native American, I have one thing to say about immigration: “Get over it.” Where does all this fear come from?

Are you afraid that you won’t be allowed to speak your native language anymore? Are you afraid that your children will be taken from your homes and sent to a boarding school and forced to adopt foreign names and learn a new language?

Are you afraid that your property will be taken from you and you will be relocated somewhere that no one would choose to live? Are you afraid that you will be killed if you don’t relocate?

Are you afraid that schools will use you as a mascot and adopt an exaggerated likeness of your image?

Are you afraid that your spiritual beliefs will be considered heathen and forbidden to practice?

Even if these immigrants form a new government, eventually you will become a citizen (we Injuns became citizens 1924) and it probably won’t take you 148 years. I am sure you will have the right to vote (we got that puppy in 1975) in less than 199 years.

I hear all these good folks talking about immigration and how bad that is. I am afraid people will just give themselves ulcers worrying about it. The sensible thing to do is just get over it.

Morning all

I just had to do some errands first thing this morning so I could spend all day of this beautiful morning inside staring at pixels. The wind has been coming from the east for the last 4 days so we have been covered by dust from a construction zone ½ block away so the A/C has been running not stop for 3 days and from the look of the floors and countertops and the white spots on my cats, I wish we had it on for 4 days, there is nothing like a nice layer of dirt/dust completely covering everything inside your home.

Indiana Pacers retired Reggie Millers #31 last night and TNT had it on live, very good ceremony until Gov Mitch Daniels (R) took the mic and got booed…twice… When he was suppose to be there praising Reggie he instead tried to turn it to his political gain and asked Reggie on behalf of Indiana jobs to wear a tie on TNT so more people will want to move their business to Indiana… fucking politicians… time and place people… Any way Reggie’s #31 is were it belongs hanging from the rafters.

Not much planned for this weekend, just a long list of things I need to do so I guess its time to start doing them….

I’m being watched…

While relaxing in the backyard I had a feeling I was being watched and sure enough I had this beast watching me… watching my every move… studying me… planning an attack… I could read it in its eyes… it wants me dead… I must take action!
