Near Hit

Posted on Wednesday September 7th, 2005 by | Comments Off on Near Hit

We had a scare a few weeks ago from an idiot driver and then to top it off had a horrible experience with the cops. No one got hurt and we weren’t involved in a wreck, but it could have been.

Harold wrote this letter to the local sheriff and we weren’t really expecting a response from them. But he received a call from a captain about it today asking questions about it. It seems like several procedures were ignored.

It is nice to see that they are taking the incident serious.

Maybe the local officals aren’t as bad as they have seemed so far. =) I know every place has it’s good and bad enforcement. But you learn to expect certain things and when it is not done it is a huge disappointment and makes you lose faith in the net that the community is suppose to have.

The Happenings

Posted on Wednesday September 7th, 2005 by | Comments Off on The Happenings

It has been raining here on and off due to Ophelia off of the coast. They believe that she will become a hurricane in the next few days. =( Lets hope that she doesn’t land.

I actually had a productive day at work. Sometimes I feel as if I’m so busy running around and putting out small fires that I don’t get anything accomplish. On the days that I get something done, I feel good. =)

I have a few things to do for work here tonight. I hope I have the thought process to get it done……lol

I did get all the receipts organized, now I need to do the long process of entering them into quickbooks. I’m hoping to be able to get them done this weekend. Then I won’t be stressing it all by the end of the year to get it done.

I’ve been so busy since I got back from Indiana, that I never finished up about that weekend. There isn’t much to tell except that I really enjoyed being able to see and visit everyone. Mom did surprise me. She gave me a few family things that I didn’t expect. One of them being a picture of my dad taken in ‘Nam. It is a simple black and white picture, but what I really like about it is what it tells me about him. He looks so young, but his eyes shows him getting older (for lack of a better term) with what he has seen & experience there. Just gives me a sense of my dad’s history.

Mom also gave me a costume jewelry penant. She has had it for along as I could remember, but I never knew the story behind it. It was made my great-aunt Maria and my great-uncle Al painted a peacock on it. So I thought that was really cool.

Now I need to get off my ass & do the litter boxes……….lol

Keeping Busy

Posted on Tuesday September 6th, 2005 by | Comments Off on Keeping Busy

It was my first day off in week. I was going to do the schedule at home, but decided that it could wait until tomorrow night.

I did finally get to looking for doctors and dentist that works with my insurance. I was so not looking forward to that. I would look it up and then paste the info to Word so I would be able to print it out and make my notes as I call around. Well, dang word would never print it…..would say “that word is preparing the background for print”….It was starting to piss me off.

I finally just started calling and tried to take notes. My handwritting sucks so I was hoping I wouldn’t screw it up. Luckily I was able to get a dentist appt. next week and one for a doctor by the end of the month. I really didn’t think I was going to be able to get into the doctor until next month, so I was pleased about that.

Dang, pc has been slow as crap. =( I can’t even surf my news sites without it taking forever.

I got laundry caught up, I really need to do the litters but I’m so burnt out over stressing on getting things done at work that I really don’t want to do crap…….lol

We got moved to new servers & looks like most of the bugs are taking care of. If there is any problem email me so I can see about having that taken care of.

Harold has started to make a bunch of nice for us, since we are heading into the height of hurricane season. He put one of 5 gal. jugs of water in our deep freezer & opened it so it won’t crack when it froze up. Blocks of ice will come in every handy if we lose power. By this time last year we were in the middle of Francis & after seeing what happened in New Orleans……we just want to make sure that we are prepared. We just need to get a battery operated latern. The oil lamp & candles gives off way too much heat.

I just wanted to stop in and say hi. I need to start on the receipts (3-4 months worth) so I can feel as if I’m making head way. I have to work early tomorrow, so I’ll be in bed early tonight. =)

Long Time……..

Posted on Thursday September 1st, 2005 by | Comments Off on Long Time……..

I’m sorry for not posting as much. We had a small emergency at work, so I’ve ended up working 6 days this week. I spent my half day off working on work schedules, cleaning and doing my FFL draft……where ESPN servers suck. =( You would think with as much $$ they make that they would have something that wouldn’t crash with heavy use.

I did get Wednesday off, but we spent most of our day with friends. Which is something we really needed to do. So any thing I planned on doing didn’t happen……….lol

I have to be at work by 0630hrs so I’m heading to bed.

But I would like to state that I know everyone has seen the news & the destruction of Katrina……of course, our government which has been warned about something like happening, has been slow to respond & 1000s are feared dead and there are bodies on the streets. Please do your part and donate……whether through your church, Red Cross, Salvation Army……or private organizations……just donate.

Former Landlord

I’ve been wanting to write on this for awhile, but have yet to find the time. I hope to have time to write more on it later, but here is the letter that we sent our former landlord : It is Page Link

But for those who are wondering, hurricane Katrina as missed us it was too far south & barely gave us any rain. But it may be head on back, so we shall see.

For everyone who has emailed me, my next day off is Tues & Wed, so I hope to finally find time to fully respond to you. =)
