still here, tired and angry about it. hmph!
Yeah, I'm here.
Same ol' same going on, I guess. Except for a couple of excursions out to The Lindas'. I guess maybe Mr. The Linda might not appreciate that, huh? Well, tell him to come up with a name or I'll just refer to hm as Studley D, although I am totally and woefully frightened that he'd enjoy that name way too much.
*sigh* Men. *hmph!*
I feel like I've been tied behind a slop truck and dragged all over town today. Just absolutely worn out!! And not just now, at the end of the day. People, I've felt this way ALL DAY LONG!
Gah. I don't like it.
I think mayhaps I need to work on getting to bed earlier. Um, yeah. I'm sure that would be a very good idea. I hope that will help. In the past? I could sleep all day and all night too and STILL feel like I'd been deprived. Sheesh. Chronic fatigue-ish stuff just stinks!
What else? Well, nothing really. I finally got most all those books in that I'd ordered. Corey ordered a body kit for his car. Don't know what that is? Go here. Note: It's not the paint job, but like sticky-on pieces that change the shape of the car...look at the bottom part of the car, the front and back bumpers, etc.... body kits (sometimes) make the things look like they have about 1/8" clearance, y'know...that kinda (weird) thing.) Sheesh.
So, anyhow...he found this one on the ebuy. It didn't meet its reserve, so he immediately emailed the lady to ask how much she had to have out of the kit, which was brand new (as in never been put on, but was a couple years old) and a top brand-name. She told him and he offered her $100 less. She took it, without hesitation!
So, he got a $1,200 body kit for half price!! I must say, even I couldn't be too displeased with that, even though I STILL think it's silly! (he still has paint to buy, y'know!!) But the boy's deal-making skills are quite impressive!
Casey ruined his phone. Apparently while his pal was here week before last, and they were playing with water guns, Friend decided to one-up Case and use the water hose...and soaked Case pretty good...including his phone. Thankfully (for Friend!!) it was an old phone, but STILL! If you recall, Casey just got what was left of Tommy's contract after work furnished him a phone, so the contract will be up in August. We had another even older phone he could use, but you know how kids can be....especially in a houseful of phone-iacs!
He was dying to get him a "new" (model) phone! I try to reason with him, telling him about his expiring contract. He tells me he might keep it going. How? I ask him. He's not sure, but maybe he can.
Gah, but that kid wanted another phone!! I had the newer phone Casey had been using after mine fell off in the parking lot one night (when we had cheap clips for them. ugh!) and it has seen better days. I have a hard time reading the screen for scratches, etc. Anyhow, so we find a couple who's carrier has switched to another company so they're getting rid of their phones, plus the accessories for a little less than half what they are new.
We bought both of them. Well, I bought mine, Case bought his, but together. Anyhow, so here's what we got:::
Yeah, whoopie. It's not too much different than the one I have now, but I DO love that bar on the outside that lets you see who's calling without having to open the phone. And it also lets you see the time/date, and the status of the phone...strength of signal and battery all on that little bar. Hard to believe how nice that feature is. We also got those really nice earbuds with the push-to-talk buttons on the wire. Oooooh. Go me! LOL!
Went to the chiro Monday and my neck was holding. I am thankful, but finding it hard to holler PTL about it. Why? Because I still hurt. I'm starting to have a few headaches too. Nothing at all like I had before, but more than I'd been having lately. Guh. And these shoulders!!! Doc's tried about three times to manually manipulate them to loosen things up in there. I swear, once I'm pretty sure his feet came off the ground while trying to get a pop outta me, but nada. Thankfully, he CAN get my neck to pop when it's hurting so bad and won't pop on its own. Which was the case Monday. He always pats me on the back and says he's not giving up on me. LOL!.
Whatever. It's a good thing he's so likable and the office is easy to deal with (no long waits, etc) or I'd have given up by now, I think. It really is getting awfully discouraging. I'm so tired of all this hurting! Even though it's SO much better than before! It still wears on me. *sigh*
Always something, eh?
My house is a sty and is getting on my nerves SO BAD! I can get things STARTED, but that's about it. Seems I can't finish anything. A couple of my fingers are stiffening up on me really bad...hurting, etc. I'm hoping it will pass with this stormy, rainy weather. For now, though, I'm popping the "Sellebrex" to keep from locking up altogether.
Which reminds me. I need to git. Just wanted to sit down and post an update of sorts before my page went blank. Blah!
I guess I'd better go. It's looking stormy again!
Have a beautiful evening!

Studley D, eh? You crack me up. ;)
Git some rest -- isnt there anyone else who could clean the house (or as we say in Pittsurgh, redd up the house)? How about the one with the new phone???

How nice of The Boy to drop by and share a linkie pic. roflol I didn't check your link. Did you not do it right? So the boy had to correct you? roflol
roflol at your decsription of a body kit. Yeah wierd, except to the people who like them. Oh, yeah, that's not ME! roflol There a pain in the neck. You can't drive everywhere because it's so low it bottoms out. Ask me how I know. wait...don't... Also it's hard for short legged people to get in and out of the car with the side skirts. grrrrrrr
I'm not helping, am I?
I blogged about this, and emailed you. But I just want to make sure you know about it, so heres the link

Ha, Chrys...you'll have to talk to Linda about that Studley stuff...that's what SHE named him. Or rather, the internet named him that, I think.
Bah-ha-ha!
Um, sure the one w/the phone COULD clean the house, but would I leave him to do it actually? Um no.
He has an attention span about 1mm in length, got me? And he's a bit like his poor ol' ma...disorganized and scatterbrained. So hard to focus b/c there's so much to do.
But no, he's really not very good help unless he's motivated by some sort of special event...however a special event usually means he will flit over his jobs, not doing them thoroughly and once this special event happens, it usually includes the undoing of whatever cleaning was done in the first place, so it's kinda a wash, y'know?
Gah.
It just makes it so much worse b/c I'm so tired and achy. From my neck all the way down to the bottom of my rib cage feels like some one has just twisted and beat on me. Just sore muscles, like I've been lifting or pulling...when I haven't. It's just these muscles pulled SO DAGGONE TIGHT!!!!! I'm constantly stretching and contorting trying to relieve it, but nothing seems to help for long. Doc says ice the muscles, but that relief is very temporary, too. Gah.
Okay, so there you have it.
My whiiiiine for the day.
(sorry)

I got your email Linda. It sounds VERY interesting & I plan to watch!!
I was just thinking the other day how well C is doing. :) What a tremendous blessing!
When all the kids are playing, I have to remind myself what all he went through. Amazing how the Lord can bring the body back from such a weakened state like that!
:)

Sorry to hear you're not feeling too good.
The cell phones sound neat although I'm not fond of the earplugs. I have almost embarrassed myself more than once because someone was on the cell and I didn't realize it at first.
I have a new journal. I couldn't remember if I told you or not.
Posted by: Sandy | June 21, 2006 11:42 PM
HELLO MR. PAUL!!! It's so nice to hear from you! I haven't been a very good blog buddy lately. *head hung low* I knew you were having some medical stuff, but I hadn't kept up with you.
*shame on me BIG TIME!!*
:(
I'm just SO glad to hear from you!!
I know 'ZACKLY what what you mean about being sick of docs. Whenever I have had some medical mishap (HA!) and then spent the next many months to year+ going to doctors....YUCK! It just gets so old and tiring. But normally, it is just a season, thank the Lord!
Just hang in there. You're in my prayers.
I'll get by to visit you ASAP!
Take care my friend!

LOL Sandy...I've done the same thing. My 17yo uses an earpc. for when he patrols at festivals and such. No way to hear w/o an earpc then!
I just think that when driving one would be very handy! Or even when trying to do something around the house and talk too. My mom often calls on the "two-way" and I can't talk to her and say get ready to go to the chiro or put on a load of clothes while still holding the phone, kwim? But w/the earbud, I think I could (haven't got to try it yet)
We shall see.
New journal...um, unless you changed it again recently, yes, I knew about it...I've been by several times and THOUGHT I left comments...I'm never sure these days...all those codes to make sure I'm a real person...gah!! ;)
I'll make sure I'm at the right one....
Posted by: G~ | June 23, 2006 04:28 PM
hey you! Are YOU into the cell phone craze too? SURELY not! No! I refuse to buhleeve it! LOL
Posted by: monileigh | June 26, 2006 12:28 PM
I feel for you. I don't know when I'm ever NOT tired. The chronic fatigue just sucks the energy right out of you. I should go to bed earlier. But I don't know if that would help...
Posted by: mrs. diamond | June 26, 2006 03:56 PM
Thanks for coming by and visiting my journal. Yea, you're on my buddy list. I love reading your blog!
I can relate on the tired bit too, especially in the summer when it is so hot you're wringing wet just from stepping outside.
