Luna Tail

I have been changing my bedsheets more often and I must say, it’s nice to get the crumbs and the dog hair out, not to mention to chewed bone and treat remains the dogs leave there. :p Anyway, so I did this little poll….

Okay I broke down the other day and bought one. I know I know… I’m a spending nut and haven’t I talked lately about not spending so much money!? UGH! Well I couldn’t resist. So I have a Google / Android G1 Smartphone through T-Mobile.

I love it! I use it for texting and so most of my email reading on it too. I’m still getting used to the pull out keyboard, and I type pretty slow. But I also type out full words, I don’t really like the shorthand that the kids do nowadays. I can hardly understand it!

I like the apps that come with, and most are free. I like that Android is open source. And I love the touch screen and the flick scrolling and the Wifi. I read that the Blackberry Storm doesn’t have flick scrolling or Wifi and that would bother me.

At least I don’t have to pay my car insurance bill due now, but I might have some credit card stuff I have to pay. UGH I hate debt! Anyway, the phone is nice!

Well I had a fun weekend doing agility with Chase. He did good and I learned some things about agility. Things I probably should have known years ago but I’m just glad that I do know now!

I do think I overdid it though. I was actually feeling pretty good on Saturday and on Sunday, but now again today I’m dragging, really tired, and have no appetite. I also have al ot of sinus pressure and a sinus headache. My neck and back and knees hurt. But none of these things is anything new, really.

So I am taking it easy, working from home today, excited to go get my new G1 phone from my sister’s house today. Yay! No XBox, but who needs one with a way cool G1 Phone? I’m way excited to check it out!

So today is my first day working again. I’m working from home (taking a break lol) and getting some things done. I just hate working after being sick. I feel worthless, like an idiot, and terribly guilty about being sick.

Plus, this sick just does not want to go away and I’m really afraid it’s going to come back again, with a vengeance, like it has in the past. Doctor appt is June 15th. Maybe they can see me sooner, though. I’m on their cancellation list so we’ll see.

Anyway, along with the guilt, I feel like I’m not good enough, not smart enough, takes me too long to find answers to problems, and I just want to run under a rock and hide.

I guess the answer to this is to just do my best and work all week as hard as I can. Though stress and shame usually activate my avoidance patterns instead of my work hard patterns.

Oh on a good note, just got a call from the doc! They can get me in on the 10th now, instead of the 15th. Yay! It’s not much, but it’s closer to the present!

I’m not going to go into detail because I don’t like to share private information here on my blog… but three people were laid off at my work last week. It’s horrible. One of them directly affects me because it was my boss.

I love my boss, as a boss and as a friend. And my heart broke to see her go. Fortunately our friendship will keep us in contact and is more valuable that the work relationship anyway. And she is in good spirits. In a way, it’s an opportunity for her, some relaxing time off, and some decisions for the days ahead. She’s an amazing woman, smart, and has a lot of knowledge so she should be able to get another job pretty fast.. if she wants to.

However, for those of us left at work, we’ll be moved back under the boss I left a couple of years ago. And I won’t go into detail about that, either. But suffice it to say that I was very happy being under my friend/boss for the last two years. And some things will probably change now, changes that I won’t like much. Maybe some wholesale programs will be cut.

Anyway, the dogs keep me happy, and life goes on. And I guess it’s good that I still have my job. Four years and two months and I can retire. I’m hoping for September of 2013. The time really will fly, I’m sure.

Well I am back from flyball. Haven’t gotten back to posting as much as I’d like… but I’m getting there. I still feel crappy. And today we just found out that one of our team members has been laid off. Complete shock as we thought she would be the last to go. Actually, I’d rather have it be me that got laid off. She is so much more valuable than I am to this team… but I don’t want to blog about it too much. You know, privacy and all that.

So I’ll just talk about my health and my energy level. I don’t have, or want, a Bob stroller to jog with but I wish I could jog again. I wonder if my continued feelings of blek are because of Fibromyalgia or Lyme Disease. I got a Lyme kit test in the mail but it’s expensive to send off. $225.00 for the cheapest one. And I don’t have $225.00 right now, much less more than that. And I don’t know where to have blood drawn and prepared. So I’m looking at Lyme support in Utah and I’ve found a Yahoo Group that I like. However, they do some things by phone, and I hate the phone.

I don’t think my Mono is all gone yet either. And my neck hurts. Yesterday it got so bad in the evening my head hurt too. I had to run an errant last night but then when I got home I took some pills and crashed on the couch and that helped.

I’m emotionally fried today because of my friend getting laid off. Geez… what a stupid decision. That’s all I’ll say.

Well, I’ve been neglecting my regular blogs because I’ve joined the Niche Blogger program and I’ve been devoting most of my time to that.  I started about a month ago and I’m having a lot of fun doing it. I haven’t made much money yet but I hope that will start in a month or two. It’s not an instant success by any means.  I really want to make money quick but I realize that is not really going to happen… well, I guess by quick I mean within the next couple of months. Not tomorrow. I wish it were tomorrow!

So as a wee update, so far I have three blogs up and running with content scheduled until about the end of April or May, depending on the blog.  They get to sit and marinate for a while. I have another blog I am putting content into, and another idea waiting in the wings.

The goal here is to get 20 blogs going, though that might take me a year to do! And market them and get readers and people to buy affiliate things off my blogs. So we’ll see how it goes. I’m really encouraged about this I think it’s going to really work out.  The ideas so far are amazing!  It’s all so logical!

So anyway sorry if I neglect this blog in order to do my Niche Blogging.  I’ll post when I can!

Ooo these are not mine! I wish they were, of course! They are my Mom and Dad’s new floors.  Aren’t they gorgeous? Mom already had the new counter tops and maybe she found her faucets online, but it just makes me really want a new kitchen! I love hardwood floors. We had some under our carpet but it was ruined, to many foster dogs in and out of the house and the urine went right through the carpet.

But that’s okay, we have tile now and I love it!  Though wood, I think, looks warmer and more homelike. But still, I like our tile.

So these look great, don’t you think! I think the edging is nice too, and the bannisters on the stairway are awesome, they’ve been around for a while now though.

Such pretty floors!

Okay maybe not, but it’s really how I feel.  I know it’s based on my anxiety that I’ve had all my life.  But still, people don’t call me back!

I’m waiting to hear from a breeder about.. well, nevermind!  I can’t talk about that! he he. And also the lady who does my nails, I haven’t heard from her in a long time. I called her twice last week and she hasn’t called me back. Darnit! My nails are in desparate need of a fill. I guess I could go someplace else but it’s so hard to find a good nail person!

So I think these people are avoiding me… did I piss them off? I really hope not! I have to have better self esteem!

My husband i starting a garden this year! He is an excellent gardener. And he keeps the house going very well. Sometimes I think he does more at home than I do going to work and training the dogs. He even tries to repair video cards if he can.. but mostly he has to send them in!

So far he’s planted peas. It’s still cold, I think the potential for frost is still around until sometime in May.  But peas can handle the frost and they grow pretty fast. And we both love peas.  He also wants to plant kohlrabi and some other things. And some herbs. Maybe we’ll get some basil going and we can make pesto. YUM. I love pesto, it’s my favorite food in the whole entire world. Though not sure if I can consider a sauce, a food, buy why not.

So spring is in the air, yahooo…. a garden will be fun!
