Is it wrong…

• that most people in both political parties make me giggle? And not when they are trying to be funny?
• that I have I’m Just A Bill on my iPod mini?
• that I would rather watch a fishing show than exercise?
• that I read about other people’s marriages and love lives and feel glad I’m single?
• that I want to clone myself but with the neat-freak gene?

Happy Discombobulated Thoughts - Aug. 9, 2005

I’ve been told that sometimes I’m too negative. So today’s discombobulated thoughts will try to focus on happy things…

• Discovery landed safe and sound. The child inside me who wanted to be an astronaut is quite relieved. I didn’t want to say anything before in case I jinxed it.
• My headache/migraine appears to have gone away for the moment.
• I bought ice cream on Sunday and haven’t had a bite.
• I feel better now that I’ve made a to do list.
• I love my iPod mini.
• I spent 2 hours sorting and packing up clothes. My closet is 2/3rds done…though I

Discombobulated Thoughts — August 8, 2005

• My apartment looks like a national disaster hit it.
• I’ve scheduled myself for a theraputic massage and a pedi/mani on Saturday.
• The migraine is just a mild headache today but the nausea appears to still be present. I almost didn’t go to work as a result.
• I have got to work on this presentation on medical uses of leeches tonight. This may not be a good thing what with the nausea.
• I need to stop at Wal-mart on my way home. I hate going to Wal-mart.
• I need to make a to-do list of everything that needs to be done before Read the rest of this entry »

Discombobulated Thoughts — Aug 6th, ‘05

• I miss Paige Davis on Trading Spaces.
• I like how Trading Spaces now uses two carpenters and they go back two weeks later to see what the homeowner has changed.
• I know for pretty certain that my daily headaches/migraines this week are the result of me not taking my blood pressure med — I’ve been a naughty girl!
• The hostess of the baby shower made little sandwhiches using cookie cutters of little hands and feet. It was precious. As my mom collects cookie cutters, the hostess gave them to me.
• Mickey and Minnie had baby number 3 last week.
• The salon I

Another Blue Day

I’m having one of those blue days, I guess. I woke up with one of those morning migraines, which is still nagging at me. My cat had thrown up all over my bathroom counter. My pants are too tight. The news is depressing me and quite frankly I didn’t want to go to work today. I certainly dont’ want to take the cat to the vet.

I feel like I’m on the verge of tears and for no particular reason or perhaps for every reason. Reading/Listening to the news is certainly no help. It

Discombobulated Thoughts Aug 4th

• I really need to send in my paperwork for the medical bills from the accident.
• I also need to send in my paperwork to my flexplan.
• I’m going to a baby shower tonight for my next door neighbor who’s name I cannot remember.
• I went into Build-A-Bear to make me a Firefly-type cowboy bear. I was sadly disappointed they didn’t have the right type of accessories. The Batman and Spidermen Bears were precious though.
• The Auto Insurance place is putting my $500 deductible they owe me right into my Savings account probably tomorrow or Monday.
• I have been avoiding the news all day

Discombobulated Thoughts for Aug 3, ‘05

• Best Buy was the only place in the Portland, ME area that had Firefly series DVDs. I even had to explain to the brilliant guy at Blockbuster that he should order some since there’s a movie coming out next month.
• I have not been sleeping well and I’m not sure why. I don’t think it’s the accident, but I guess I’m going to really have to start taking ambien again regularly.
• Needy has to go to the vet because he’s developed an aversion to the litter box. They actually wanted me to get him to hold it until he

General Whining & Other Random Thoughts

• O.K. So I took the last Zyrtec I’m allowed to take before next Thursday. I have an appointment with an allergist next Thursday morning and the instructions say no antihistimines for the 7 days prior. I just started feeling like I wasn’t drowning in snot and now I’ve got to suffer for a week with no hope of relief. *sigh*
• The parking lot people are coming again tomorrow. Apparently rain kept them from sealing the lot and painting the lines last week. My neighbor claims they did seal the lot, but the letter from the apartment

Stupid Summer Cold…Again

Well, my weekend has not gone as planned. I’ve gotten another summer cold and it wouldn’t be so bad but for the coughing, which seems to be worse, the more I move around. It hurts in my chest and I’ve got a cough headache.

So basically, I got my living room straightened and most of my kitchen straightened and that’s about it. I really do need to do some laundry and now I’ve got to make brownies for a picnic I’m going to tomorrow. Those things really don’t require a lot of effort, but now it’s

Things To Think About

Here are a few things to think about that you probably have never thought about:

Can you cry under water?

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

If money doesn’t grow on trees then why do banks have branches?

Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat round?

Why do you have to “put your two cents in”.. . but it’s only a “penny for your thoughts”? Where’s that
extra penny going to?

Once you’re in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?

Why does a

Stress & Confusion

Things at work are getting hectic. Too much going on all at once. Everything is a priority, of course. Except that one project has become the priority of the priorities. Supposedly, it’s work comes first whether or not other things need to get done before it does.

Part of the problem is we have a number of immeninent projects that all have the same resources and not enough time to do it all.

I am the integration lead on the SCM3.5 Upgrade project; however, before that happens (scheduled for April 29th at 1am), we absolutely have to upgrade

Something On My Mind

Well, it’s been a while and I’ve been mulling over some random thoughts. I thought I’d put them here for safe keeping, so to speak.

***So, last year in the first three months at this job, I contacted accounting to let them know that the money for parking was not being taken out of my paycheck. It never got out of my paycheck and I stopped calling.

Today I received an email letting me know that a recent audit had revealed that they weren’t taking money out for parking.

Duh.

I should see the fee appear in my next paycheck. I

Side Effects & Photos From Snowbound Day

Well, starting on Wednesday, I started noticing these little muscle twitches in my right leg. They would happen every once in a while. No pain. Just this weird spasm feeling. By last night they had spread to my right hip and arm. Today they’ve gotten to my left leg.

I had my mom research my meds to see if this could be a side effect of one of them. I’ve been on all my meds from three to six months, so I don’t know why this would suddenly happen, but it did. My mom

Discombobulated Thoughts

Well, the final news on my friend who’s house burned down is that indeed only one pet survived. The thought is that one of the cats knocked over a new heater in the basement and that started the fire. They are currently living in a hotel and the rescued dog is staying with family. The dog was rescued by a man who wasn’t supposed to be in that neighborhood until Monday but got ahead in his work and stopped by her neighbor’s house for some consult work. He knew there were other pets and the dog

It’s Official

It’s official. It is now too cold to go outside after dark.

Seriously. Last night I went to the grocery and in the time it took to go from my car to the store all I could think about was how friggin’ cold it was. “Ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod!”

It’s not going to get out of the teens today and I found it rather distrubing that the weatherman on NPR this morning said tomorrow would be mild and in the 30’s.

The 30’s is not mild.

I really was fine with the weather until last night.

Santa Madness

I don’t know that the list-making thing is working really well. I put it on my Palm Pilot and now I’m obsessed with putting every little thing in there down from taking out the trash to cleaning the litter pan. I seem to be adding more than I’m taking off the list. Kind of like how I cleaned my office but when I cleaned the downstairs hall, the office filled up with boxes again.

My parents are just going to have to understand that I am not a neat freak. I know they don’t think I’m organized…and

Don We Now Our Gay Apparel…

I went to see the Maine Gay Men’s Choir yesterday for their December Traditions concert. They were so good. I’m so glad I went; I almost didn’t as I was fighting off a migraine all day and really thought going out might make it worse.

Really they did an excellent job and they were entertaining. They had props and dance moves for some and did a white glove sign language song in the dark which was lovely. During the Nutcracker songs some dressed in costumes and danced — grown men in tutus doing ballet is funny.

Christmas Sweater, Frolicking Tn The Snow, And An Update About The Funk

Well, well, well…let’s see…

I wrote a nice long post yesterday but my computer locked up and I lost it while I was just finishing it. I was frustrated and quickly distracted by anything other than rewriting the whole thing. So here I am today, trying again. Heh.

Last Wednesday I decided to wear my Christmas sweater. You know, the sweater I was wearing the day I was fired? As anxious as I am over the anniversary of that horrible day, it took a lot of effort just to pull the sweater out of the storage box.

Random Thoughts

• The other day, President Bush bragged that under his administration, we have the highest number of homeowners. What he failed to point out is that under his administration we also have had the highest number of filed bancruptcies and the highest unemployment rate. The unemployment rate is skewed as it only counts people actually on unemployment benefits, but Americans are remaining unemployed far longer than those six months of benefits. The average amount of time for unemployment is nine months. I suspect that the high unemployment rate coupled with the high number of people buying
