Thank you, Sue Ann, for reminding me that I didn’t update again. Carrie’s appointment was canceled due to government bureaucracy. They still have her as pending medicaid (or disability) but she doesn’t have an active application. In order to submit her application, we need an epilepsy diagnosis, which we can’t get without this test. It’s a nice circle that may or may not be broken. I don’t really know how we can fix it right now, since I don’t know how to get in to an appointment once I’m working. But we’ll see what happens. It’s kinda bullshit that in order to get an appointment, you have to spend half your day in the office just to make it. Then, you have to take another half day on the day of the appointment. Who can afford to do this unless they’re completely unemployed?
Ok, this isn’t helping my mood today at all. So, I’m going to get ready for my shower, read a comic and then decide what is most important to do this afternoon. I might finally take down some of the recycling. It’s going to take 2 trips at least. lol But it’s important to get trash out of the house - clutter, recycling, etc. Then I can finally take pictures of the Heavy bag and try to sell it, and eventually dig out the weight machine and try to sell that. We don’t use them, and we need the little bit of money it would bring in. So hopefully I can do that this weekend in between other things, like contract work. Oh, and my mentor school. Crap, I should probably do that tonight when the basketball game is over. Ok, this is turning into stream of consciousness. And lately, my stream is pretty boring. But here are some highlights, that I hope to blog about in the future.
- Janel McCarville (New York Liberty post player) amuses me to no end with her hair and her playing style. She’s absolutely the most improved player of the WNBA.
- Tammy Etheridge amuses and amazes me with the truth she shares on her blog. I end up laughing pretty much every time I read something she writes. I just love her, and can’t wait to meet her in the future. Though I’m sure at first, I’m just going to be all ‘umm….i love your blog’ lol
- Melissa Etheridge’s video for Message to Myself is cute and fun and so damn catching! I can’t wait for the album at the end of the month. I’m hoping we have the money to buy it right away, or I just might go insane. 
- Ellis shared a new song this month for those who are Angels (contribute $100 a year to help her out) It’s a great song called Who Am I. I listed to it 3 times in a row the first time I heard it. It’s such a great song! Too bad she wrote it right after finishing her new album! I guess that’s why they say, the album is done when you run out of money, not when you run out of songs. Some people would never finish otherwise.
- In Modern Drummer this month, Niel Peart wrote an article about the new Rush album and I discovered he’s a very funny guy! I don’t know that I expected that based on his drumming, but now I think I’d really enjoy just hanging out and chatting with him. Definitely not playing, because I suck using normal standards, and would just be an embarrassment to him. lol
- You know the song by the Plain White Teas, Hey There Delilah? I learned that Delilah, while a real person, never dated the guy who wrote the song. She just inspired it. It’s really opened my eyes as to how you can write a song that seems to be about real events without it having to be. And you can be inspired by someone and make up fictional events without the song feeling contrived. I think this realization will open my creativity up once I can sit down and actually write again!
Ok, I suppose that’s enough for now. Nope, one more. Bad Girls is a horribly addicting show, and even though I can’t understand their crazy UK accents half the time, I love to watch it.
