Mother's Day

Another busy week. I managed to reschedule my job counseling appt.s to the same day the Employment Support Group is on. I also have my dentist appt. next week on the same day. That's going to be one long day. I wonder if bad luck is catching. I wonder about stuff like that. Or good luck too. I turned in the Runes 4 homework today. I go deep when I do readings. I mean, I really have to concentrate to do these readings. I'm still learning. Mother's Day is Sunday. I didn't really get my mom anything, just some chocolate. Me and my brother are going to make her lemon bars too. I'm on a new schedule, still getting used to it. Star's computer is screwing up, so she's upset about that. Don't blame her for that. I finished writing my poems for the April PAD, just have to type them up. OK, so I'm a little late! :) Got my Divination group moved to Google Groups. It's different, you get emails when someone posts a comment. But it's not as confusing as Yahoo Groups. I could never get the hang of that one. Listening to Bob Seger on Last.FM, "Turn the Page". I like the Metallica version better, like both of them actually. I'm so glad I got my appt.s on the same day. Two days in town was really messing with me. All for today! bye

For Now

Well, I decided to tackle the Windows Media Player problem(s). One is that now it rips CDs very very slowly, about a minute per track. So that's about 20 minutes per CD. Haven't figured out how to fix that. The major problem is that I can't burn CDs. No CD Drive detected. Well, supposedly I went into the registry and fixed that. Tell Microsoft! It used to work nicely. I think that was in December. I'm ripping my copy of Material Issue's "International Pop Overthrow". Before that it was "Absolutely ABC".

The Horror!

I'm looking up newspaper addresses, actually taking a break from that. I'm helping my mom do publicity for a friend who has a beach house she rents out. Really tedious work, but then I'm easily bored. There is an online writer's conference starting in a couple days. It's called Coyote Con. If I can figure out what I'm doing there it should be pretty interesting and informative. When will Mercury Retrograde end? I better go look it up. May 11th, Mercury goes direct. Communications should be much clearer then. I'm doing pretty good today, taking it easy. I was in town Tuesday and Wednesday. Saw two horror movies recently, "Drag Me to Hell" and "The Ruins". The first one was really great, The Ruins just so-so. My life seems boring to me. Oh well. The side effects went away from that new Diabetes drug. Happy about that. Gotta make a phone call. bye

Fleas

Went to adult youth group tonight at my church. We talked about Evil. Kinda interesting, I guess. Not many people showed up tonight. Pastor is pretty cool. What else is going on? Not a whole hell of a lot. I'm really behind in writing those poems for the April PAD. I spent the morning typing up half a chapter of a book we're going through on one of my creativity websites. I posted a "baby" group for the Divination group on a creativity site. I should do the Moon sign changes, but I may wait til tomorrow when I'm more awake. General sense of unease. Where does that feeling come from? Who knows. I really liked "Let the Right One In", Swedish Vampire movie. Not too much action, but very atmospheric, cool movie. Will watch the other movie possibly tomorrow night. I deflead the cats today. They don't like it, but then they don't like scratching all the time either. Still on the fence about how I'm getting around next week and if I'm spending the night at Star's. I probably will. We'll see. All for now! bye

Grumpy

I'm in a grumpy mood today. This is funny because physically I'm feeling a lot better. I guess my emotions are a little behind. Not a whole lot happening, which I always say is a good thing. Jed, my brother, and me are going to watch horror movies tonight. I'll tell you if they are any good. Turned in my principle homework for Runes 4 this morning. Me and Glenda (another student) both did a reading for my question. The question or query was whether I should start a new free divination network or just delete the NING site. For both of us it came up that I should start a new network. I'm thinking a private network where people might feel freer about opening up. So maybe Yahoo Groups. I know they have a private option. I'm listening to an ABC CD, a best of compilation. The remixes are a little off, but I like "The Look of Love" and "When Smoky Sings". It's cold and rainy today. I guess I'll do a little reading before we get Subway sandwiches for dinner. Bye

Unwell

So I'm not going to my employment counselor appt. or the Employment Support Group meeting this week. This new drug kicking my ass, up one side of the street and down the other. Mostly nausea, but a couple other side effects as well. I'm not good with stomach pain. I already have acid reflux so this is in addition to that. Take pills for that too. Well, enough about that.

I still have to finish my application for Peer Counselor Training. Will probably get to it sometime today and mail it off tomorrow. Went to a NAMI meeting last night. Lots of personal politics. I guess people without mental problems still like drama in their lives. Kind of disillusioning. The parents outweighed the consumers last night.

Indy wants her treats. I usually give her some kitty treats around noontime. As far as Nature U. goes, Runes 4 has started. We get to do readings for others and ourselves too, with Runes. That should be a good time. The only other person who's posted a question/query is another student, Glenda. I wonder what happens if no one does a reading for you. I guess you just do your own reading and call it good. I haven't done many Rune readings so this is all pretty new to me.

Not making much progress on Prehistory. I guess feeling like shit isn't conducive to getting things done. I was gonna write about something else... Oh well! All for now! Bye

NING!

I don't know what I'm going to do yet about my NING site. This is my divination site, The Divine Life. It's not very active. I might just delete it. Or I might find a new home for it... Still not sure. I guess I don't have to decide today. Another site, a creativity site that I belong to, needs a new leader or co-leader. I might do that. I'll have to see.

The new drug I'm on is making me nauseous. Not a good feeling. I'm still going to the art/photography show and touring the new fire station today with Mom and Jean Jeanie. I'm supposed to make dinner tonight. I'll see how I feel.

My class didn't get cancelled! Yay! I start Runes 4 tomorrow. I did a meditation last night for Ancient Rites, but I haven't typed it up yet. I have all these poems for the April PAD challenge I have to type up. And a million other things to do. Sigh. Well, that's it for today! bye
