Zomg...snore...

It's starting to rain.  I was wondering why my joints were fighting with me yesterday and today.  I'm so sleepy!  Perfect nap weather!  Plus, I haven't had any caffeine today.

The internet got shut off at our house.  Apparently, I forgot to pay it for two months!  Yay!  Chris gets paid tomorrow, so we'll get it turned back on then.  That + rent = not a lot of money left from his pay check.  My next check (the day after my birthday no less) will go mostly to my car payment, hooray.  Two more years.  Just two more years to pay on the car and I'm done!

I came to the horrible realization yesterday that not only did I not pay the internet bill, I think we're a month behind on the water, gas, and I totally forgot all about my student loan payments.  =|  I signed some petition going around online to forgive everyone their student loans and now I'm on some Liberal emailing list.  Oh well.

Don't even get me started on the medical bills I'm getting now.  I had labs drawn and got three bills in the mail for them.  Why do I even have health insurance?  Annoying. 

Thinking about doing my own Pinterest-image-do-it-yourself collage for painting your nails.  (While I normally hate the "instructional" photo collages, I think I can make one that makes sense.)  Some girls on there are posting pics of nail polish and they haven't even cleaned up around the cuticles.  So, I figured I'd make my DIY thing for painting and then cleaning up around the nail.

Still go back and forth about declaring bankruptcy.  I guess it takes like $900 (?) to do it.  Well, if I had $900, I could pay off two of my credit cards and then only one would be left.  Retarded.

Updates on my totally interesting life

Finally did something with my hair.  Not sure if I mentioned that I dyed it black, but on my day off I walked to Holiday Hair and got layers put in.  She also talked me into a conditioning treatment (it was on sale) and I bought a detangler, too.  Even though I got it trimmed (and cut some shorter layers in it) everyone at work thinks it looks longer.


I went to Walmart yesterday and bought stuff I didn't need.  Yay.  Is there some kind of counseling for that?  Anyway, I could've spent a lot more, but I kept putting things back.  I put back some under eye cream (which I probably should've kept), nail polish, and various eye shadows (I'm scared to start using eye shadow!  I don't know how to apply it!).

I tried to get rid of my BlackBerry.  I called Verizon to see if they would let me upgrade early (tried to use the "my birthday is coming up" line, but they weren't having it).  I found a couple cool phones on ebay and bid on them and at the very last second was outbid.  So sad.  Guess I'm stuck with my BB til Sept. or so.  The chick at Verizon was like, "Oh, don't you like your BB?" and I said, "Try finding apps for a BB.  1 out of every 100 apps made is for BB.  The rest are for iphone or Android."  Stupid people with their stupid fancy, touch-screen phones.  My BB doesn't even have a touch screen, people!

Nail polish give-a-way!

My dream come true!  http://primandpolished.blogspot.com/2012/04/birthday-giveaway.html

Pilates from Hell

Yeah...can't use any of my muscles right now...

But it is my goal to finish this work out!  (That is correct!  I have yet to finish it!)

One step forward, two steps back

Well, I missed the "official" Employee Health weigh in.  I need to stop at the corporate offices to get weighed some time.  Getting a little discouraged that the scale isn't moving.  Still can't squeeze into my AE jeans that I miss wearing.  =(  Here's a comparison photo, though:
I guess there's a little change...and not just my hair color and style or makeup...though that is part of it; and Chris pointed out the pic was taken at two different angles.  Whatever.  I think I need to get back to my yoga for weight loss DVD.  I can't decide if I'm eating too many calories or not enough.

I was talking about my finger/hand rash (btw, did I mention the doctor told me what it was?  Dishydrotic eczema...and I got a ginormous tube of steroid cream for it:
Crazy, right?  If the derm wouldn't have given me a card for it to be free, it would've been $600...or so said the pharmacist).  Anyway, what was I saying?  Oh yeah, I was talking about it at work and saying how I don't think the steroid cream/Vaseline/white gloves routine is working.  My boss said she has it too and that hand sanitizer helps hers and hers is an autoimmune thing.  A nurse I work with was in on the convo and said, "I think Mary has an autoimmune disorder undiagnosed."  So I did some Googling for autoimmune and amenorrhea.  I found some scary things, people.  Scary things.  I did, however, make an appointment to talk to the "head" gyno at my new office about my getting pregnant.  That's on the 18th.  *fingers crossed for answers!*

I cannot get into the new book I'm working on.  Like The Midst (that I redid for NaNoWriMo), it's a story I had written before (and actually finished it!) but now realize sucked, so I want to rework it.  I just can't get into the groove for some reason.

I was glad when the calls from debt collectors stopped, but now I'm getting letters from lawyers.  I wish I could tell all these people that I owe money to, "Look, I do want to pay you back.  I HATE having this hang over my head, but credit card bills are not on my priority list...it goes car payment, groceries, water, electricity, gas, internet, Dish, and other crap.  Cat food goes in there somewhere.  UGH.  And I think my student loan payments are due again.  Someone remind me to call them.  =\

5 minutes

5 minutes until we log the phones out.

Today is a bad bone day.  My hand, chest, hip, and back are bothering me.  BALLS, I just realized I forgot to take my Vitex.  *sigh*  I also cannot think straight today.  It's definitely time for me to go home.

Chris started work again today.  I probably won't see him tonight; I have to take Damian to preschool tomorrow through Thursday.  I thought about walking to work today, but Chris dropped me off.  I think it's going to rain tomorrow...at least, that's what my bones feel like it's going to do.

I was a walking feind this weekend...probably part of the reason I hurt.  I bought some biotin and have been taking that along with a multi-vitamin w/ iron, Vitex, and calcium +D3 and I actually think it's helping me walk longer on the treadmill and not get so tired.

One minute...gotta run!
