usmcsis's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- my honey do list (only i'm the honey) sunday's to do list:
1. i'm sure there is more that i'm forgetting but i'm also sure that since it is quarter to one, some of this will not get done. (3:42 pm) it's supposed to snow today. and again on wednesday and then again on saturday. i'd love to have a white christmas. we haven't had a white christmas since the year i got married, back in 99. almost six years ago. damn. okay, lets just push that memory back down for another day and talk about snow and my headache. so it's supposed to snow today but it hasn't yet. instead the pressure is building in the air and my head feels like it is going to explode. if it isn't going to snow, fine, fucking rain then, i don't care, but this pressure has to go or my eyes are going to literally pop the fuck out of my sockets. i have taken so far today, eight, count them, eight excedrin migraine. i think the recommneded dosage is like no more than three in a twenty four hour period or something like that. i know it's nowhere near eight. and sadly, i'm sure i'll be taking some more before the day is out. this stupid pressure has been building for days. i've been working up to this headache since thursday now so i'll ultimately be happy when the pressure breaks and we get whatever precipitation we are going to get. i just hope it's not ice. but if it makes this headache go away, i'm not sure i'll really care about that either. okay, so i'm off to the grocery store and to do some more stuff on the list. i say more stuff like i've really accomplished anything at this point beyond picking up mama's prescription and taking a nap. and the only reason i got the prescription done when i did is because the pharmacy closes early on sunday and i wanted to smoke. (4:26 pm) well, one more thing off my list. blah. still a ton more to do. but i brought tales of a librarian, my favorite tori amos cd of all time, so far, in from the car and i'm listening to it now. i'm hoping that it will help me be motivated to clean up the mess that is my room. i played it last night at grandma's while i finished the living room and i cranked the volume up pretty loud and i finished what should have been three hours of work in an hour and a half. it would have been less than that if i hadn't kept taking smoke breaks. so i'm off once again. i can't turn tori up as loud as i'd like since daddy is feeling very poorly today and he is fitfully napping on the couch with a heating pad and the two dogs right now, but i'll close my door and sing and dance along to her wonderous smoky voice and perhaps the afternoon will be more productive with her by my side. (8:17 pm) well, i don't know for sure if it was tori's help or not but i definitely got motivated earlier. i got almost everything on my list done. i am working on folding the clothes that i have finished washing and putting them away and i only have two more loads to do. one of which is a load of red shirts. and i wrapped all but my three emergency gifts. i bought three boxes of candy, hershey's pot of gold, in case someone gives me a gift that i hadn't anticipated. and i will wrap them before i go to bed. i still do have a ton of books and stuff in the floor that i need to get put away one of these days and i really wanted to get it done tonday, but, at least with all of the dirty clothes off the floor you can at least walk. not to mention that i can see my carpet for the first time in a month. you'd think as ocd as i am about things being clean and everything being in the exact right place that my room wouldn't be a sty, but, it is. weird. anyway, so it's finally snowing. it rained earlier this evening so there is a bit of ice to contend with, not to mention that mixed in with the snow is more ice. i'm in no hurry now to get up in the morning and see what is waiting for me as i get ready to go to work. snow i can handle with no problem. after all, i have four wheel drive and i've never had a big issue driving in the snow. ice on the other hand is a whole nother story. ever since suzanne and i had the wreck on I85 back in 2001 in which i killed both my beautiful (and paid for) cavalier and a (very expensive) stretch of guardrail, i have not been real keen on the idea of driving in ice. but, i've got to work. i can't afford to miss. and believe me, the shoppers around here won't let a little ice deter them from busting up in target tomorrow like it's the last chance they'll ever get to shop. we'll probably have a ton of call off's so i'll have to be there to take up the slack anyway. my main issue is to just be careful and look out for the other idiots on the road who are either driving like they are in the indy 500 or like they are in a friggin parade and can't go over five miles an hour. blah. well, i have more stuff on the list to get done. and mama brought me home some chicken selects from mcdonalds so i have some yummy chicken tender goodness waiting on me. toodles 12:40 & 3:42 & 4:26 & 8:17 - 19 Dec 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
