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.

IKEA, Gracie Update, Tax Return, Glasses and More (aka My Weekend Recap) Yesterday we wandered around IKEA for a couple hours, window shopping and planning. As I mentioned in my text post, we need a new mattress. Love and I have been together for over 11 years and he had that one before we met. So the thing is like at least 15 years old. And feels like it. We both wake up sore every single morning. This year, when we get his tax return back - in about two weeks since I just filed Friday night - we're going to buy a new mattress. We desperately need it and never have a large bulk of cash except at tax return time. Found one we really like so I can't wait to go back for it in a couple weeks!
My stomach's been cranky at me and my left shoulder was hurting so bad yesterday I couldn't even move it. And when I did move it once accidentally in Target, it stopped me cold with the BURST of radiating pain down my arm and back. Crap on a cracker it hurt.
Gracie's doing better. Her second antibiotic turned out to be a pill that I can crush into food so it's been easier to get her to take it than the liquid stuff and more importantly, no puking. Of course, she's supposed to go back for a follow-up on Tuesday but I simply do not have the money for it. Tuesday's visit would be over $100 and there's about $60 total left in the bank account. Which, given the fact we need food and gas for the week just can't go towards her appointment. I think she's doing ok though so I don't feel too bad not doing a follow-up but still. It stinks I can't. With only one income though, you can only do what you can do.
Sadly, while the holidays were wonderful on PhoenixFire Designs, since then, it's been dead. So I haven't even had any cash come in from that right now. There's normally some money in my PayPal account but these days? It's empty. :/
I haven't gotten my W2 yet but I know the approximate amount that I made last year and I should be getting back a little bit in Earned Income Credit. We've already earmarked that for my glasses since I've needed to replace them for literally three years now and they have actual, visible cracks in both lenses. Again, being blind like I am, glasses are WAY expensive because they HAVE to be the "ultra light" lenses unless I want to wear heavy, ugly Coke bottles. (Which, I don't.) I'm looking forward to getting new glasses though. It will be weird not to stare at cracks and chips 24/7. Weird in a good way. Of course, new Rx will take getting used to as always but hopefully it won't have changed too much. Adjusting to a new prescription is always headache-inducing the first few days. (To say nothing of a hyper light sensitive migraineur's response to having their pupils dilated...) All-in-all though, it needs doing and will be nice to finally fix the problem.
Alright enough random babbling. I need to go take a shower and other steps in the "getting more human" daily ritual, so I better get going. Hope everyone's having a nice weekend.
