Moon: Very good
Listening to: Achievement Hunters playing Depth. Sounds like fun. But then again, they are awesomely entertaining.
So, what’s been going on with me since last time?
Well, hubby and I ripped down the old veranda and put up a new one, back of the house.. which happens to be front of the house. The guy who made this house was a little backwards. 😛
The old one was falling apart. Not because of rot, mind you, but because of it being like over 20 years old and regular nails were used to put things together. We used screws this time. And we’ve reenforced things.
I’m really pleased with what we’ve done. Saturday two weeks ago I was sliding along the floor, screwing in screws. It hurt so bad afterwards. I could hardly sit. But in retrospect, it was worth it. We’re out of material now, tho. The “expert” we talked to ordered too little material for us.
We’re almost done, tho.
And I’ve fucked up royally. Well, it’s not like a world ending fuck-up, but it is an annoying one. I saw a really cute blanket/throw/mattress cover/thing on ebay and it was cheap. So I put in the first bid. THEN I saw that the shipping was EXPENSIVE AS FUCK! I had money for it when I ordered it, but then we passed into a new month, and Visa took its share and cost of using the bank card, and all of a sudden I don’t have the money anymore. However, when the auction ends on Friday, I hopefully will have gotten my vacation money. I have no idea how much I’ll get.. and I haven’t worked in a month. *sighs*
I keep hoping that someone else will bid on it. And I keep getting disappointed when I open my email and don’t see “You have been outbid!”
I was thinking I could have it in my car, if I get one. The thing is Hello Kitty! It has plastic underneath. Just imagine if I’m stranded by the road and need to check under my car? It’ll be perfect! Thinking ahead, that’s me. Sometimes…
My cell phone had an update not too long ago. Like always I jump into things. I didn’t think that the phone needed to have over 80 power juices… Mine was 60 something. Well, I started the update and along the line something happened and it froze. Well, I can’t say froze.. it just didn’t want to turn on. So I contacted Sony, seeing as it’s a Sony Xperia Z1, and I got some help. It didn’t work, tho, but at least they tried. So I called them and the guy suggested that I tried another computer. I tried that and it didn’t work. So I called again and finally a person could tell me that Error 100 means that the firewall and/or antivirus is stopping things. So we finally got it fixed. But EVERYTHING on my phone got deleted. Well, not everything, but my notes and all that.. gone. And I can’t change things like I want to. On the old OS I could change the color of my LED light.. I had it pretty purple when calls came in. Now it’s just boring and green. I’ve tried to find out where I can change it, but nah. And the line on top of the screen.. it’s BLUE. I like blue and all, just not that blue.
And another thing. I shouldn’t have started to follow Oh my corgi on Twitter. My phone is now FULL of cute puppy pics of corgis. And I can’t bring myself to delete any. Thank goodness I have autosave to Photobucket.
I think I wrote earlier about us putting up a party tent. It’s lovely. I like it a lot.
But… It’s been blowing something fierce these past few days, and we discovered yesterday that almost all the “windows” are broken. I hope hubby can get some clear packing tape so that we can fix it temporarily till we can get new walls.
It really sucks. But the old tent could take a serious beating. It was up for two years before it started to get ripped apart.
I was at the dentist yesterday. I had yoghurt for breakfast, and I don’t know, but after that it smelled like something had died in my mouth. Even after I brushed my teeth I could feel the smell, so to speak. I’m sure it was just my imagination, but yeah.. Might have been that I was SOoooo hungry. Even after I ate dinner… and went to bed.. But I’ve had a good breakfast today, so I hope whatever died is gone.
But yeah. I had no cavities again. =D
So proud of myself. The dentist said that if I kept this up, I’d have teeth till I’m 93. Which is regrettable because I’m not planning on being 93. But at least my corpse will look fabulous.
That’s a thing, isn’t it. Is it such a terrible thing to not be scared of dying? To know that one day you will be dead. I’m not saying that I’ll induce it, but I’m just being realistic. I know I’m not going to live forever, and by God, I’m glad I won’t. That doesn’t mean I don’t love life. I do. I’m so glad that I am here. I have some amazing people in my life and I appreciate every single one of them.
Anyway, let’s get off this morbid topic.
Be good to yourself, and each other
