There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Totally Fucked
Most likely I'll be gone after this weekend. Things are really, really, really bad. Worse then they've been in a very long time. Everything is due and I can't pay any of it. Just got notice that I have less time then I thought to pay my net/cable bill as well. Normally this isn't a problem but we're off our schedule beceause of the holidays and it means we're just totally fucked. I seriously can not take this anymore. Here's the part where I curl up and die.

Ow...
10am appointment. Didn't finish until around 12:45pm. Took forever. Jaw and neck are hell from keeping my mouth open for so many hours. Sore. Tired. Frustrated about the cost and that what we agreed to in terms of monthly payments last time was received with rudeness and attitude and resulted in having to spend more today then I had. But the root canal is completely done. Two weeks and I have to head into my primary dentist for the first stage of the crown work. Home and feeling like I've been beaten up. Going to lay down and forget about the 2 1/2 hours of agony this morning. Or at least put some distance between myself and consciousness. Ow....

Root Canal Part Two
So I had the first of two parts of my root canal done back about a month ago and needed to get the second half done 2-4 weeks after that. Well, with the holidays and their office being closed for almost two weeks, I was finally able to get in touch with them today. And at first they said the only opening they had was Friday, January 20th at 8:30am. Blarg. Weeks away and over a 30 minute drive away in rush hour traffic at 8:30 in the morning. Jeez. After some wrangling with my primary dentist office (because my credit with them that they're letting me apply towards the crown work was supposed to expire on the 15th of this month) the endodontist office called back and said they could get me in tomorrow morning at 10am. So it's off to the dentist tomorrow for the second half of the root canal. Should be at least an hour of work. This is where they will actually re-stuff the canals that they emptied out last month of the nerves and pulp. After this of course, I have to hit the primary again to work on the crown. The tooth will be fragile after this second stage - moreso then it is now - because it will get brittle from being "dead" which is why it needs crowning. Of course I'm in total financial panic mode. Because I have to pay them something tomorrow when I go in. But if I give them another $100 like I did last month, that basically wipes out my tooth fund savings. Which is horrifing. Remember, I bought the discount dental plan yesterday for $120 which was a big chunk of money at once but which should help me save money in the long term. We're going to be dead broke for another three weeks (already paying rent late as it is) so its doubly frightening that I'll be using the last of my money there because it means if we can't afford to eat for the next 2 1/2 weeks, well, we won't even have that money to fall back on. So I really need to get some jewelry sales going - and soon. I'd sell some stuff on ebay to try to get some short-term money but I'm past due for about $10 in seller fees and they won't let me list anything until I pay it. But I don't have $10 to pay it. Bah. Thus, while it's great that they can see me tomorrow, I'm panicked because I really don't have the money I have to give them. Not to mention, nothing says a good time like a root canal, hu? :/ On top of it all I'm hormonal, have been having bad headaches the last couple days and have been in a serious depressive funk. It's just all getting to me and I'm just so burnt out on it all. I can't put into words how just...miserably unhappy I am with everything and life in general. I'm just so tired of it all being so hard and I'm so tired of not only never getting caught up, but getting further and further behind. It's just not a good time right now.

Sugar Cookie Recipe and Tea Biscuit Recipe
I know a few of you had asked for the info back before the holidays. Er, sorry. But the good news is that neither of these are holiday or season specific. Sugar cookies are universal - just get whatever type of cookie cutter you want for the time of year - and tea biscuits are just a nice and simple cookie suitable for any occasion. So a little belated for 2005, but perfect for anytime of the year to come. Sugar Cookie Recipe Tea Biscuit Recipe Enjoy.
Painful
I just dropped $120 out of my tooth fund money to order the dental plan. I kept putting it off because $120 is a fuckton of money. And even though it should help me save around 20% off of everything - root canal side and crown side as well as fillings - it was still hard to click the "submit" button on the order. It's also extremely depressing to see what's left of the remaining balance in the tooth fund. I've been trying to leave as much in my PayPal account as possible and just use my debit card with them when I need to pay for some of the dental stuff but ugh. Taking $120 out of it of course is a big chunk. Anyone need some new year jewelry? :/
