I know that she is gonna' crack up. Hopefully she won't be in a meeting when she sees it. lol

I haven't been here in a few days.

What a week. It was and still is kinda' crappy. I won't get into details though, as it really wouldn't serve any purpose. (Plus - I really hate whining in public, and I think I've done enough on that front already. Me bad. Whatever).

Embarrassing...



On a lighter note, I got to see my mom when she and my sis visited me yesterday afternoon. It was the first time either of them visited since I moved, and since my mom moved down to southern Cal. They loved my apartment (they always liked the way I decorate, with my mom saying "This place is so YOU, Momo!" lol. My mom fell in love with Crunch, as he was being a total ham. He use to hide like my other cats...who were under the bed).

Anyway, they drive back home today, after spending most of the week staying down on the peninsula to visit with my mom's friend, who's in a veteran's hospital.



I just feel so blaaaaah right now. Damn.

While I appreciate art and art history, I do not want a creepy Otto Dix print hanging up anywhere in my apartment, dude.



Really?





I will just have to return it and be up front about it. I know it was a nice gesture, but...Dix's shit is damn creepy, if not downright scary.





Oh - here's the painting, I know he got it due to the red, and fashion, but this is still creepy:

One night - not much talking. The next night - a lot of chatter...lol

Topics covered: cats (when do I not talk about cats with at least one of my friends?); Cheetos, violin concertos for flying demons, and getting cussed out in cat; weird sexual innuendo stuff that I won't indulge in here...I mean, ugh - REALLY? The need to be skilled in juggling more than four conversations at a time - and not sending the wrong reply to the wrong person (lol); Tattoos and dying hair black; the need to cover one's profile with pesticide and burning sage, to fight off the nutjobs; poetry (I suck at writing poetry); marijuana (I'm not a smoker, just to be clear); me complaining about not having any motivation to get things done; and gee...I guess IF I'd be interested in a guy who was 40 years old, I really would be a cougar.

I'd love to get the book!

And in local news:

(From CBS San Francisco)



OAKLAND (CBS SF) – A Sacramento man whose pickup truck caught fire Thursday morning near the toll plaza on the Bay Bridge was placed in the hospital on an emergency psychiatric hold, according to the California Highway Patrol.



The CHP responded around 8:30 a.m. to reports of a vehicle blocking a lane of westbound Interstate Highway 80 on the Bay Bridge west of the toll plaza, according to CHP Officer Michael Ferguson.



Shortly after, the call was upgraded to a vehicle on fire and a party acting erratically.



Responding officers found Romeo Cruz Bautista, 32, behaving erratically and standing in traffic lanes as his 1998 Ford F-150 was engulfed in flames, Ferguson said.



Bautista was subdued and detained with the help of a Department of Homeland Security officer who was passing through the Toll Plaza at the time, Ferguson said. A San Francisco police officer passing through the area also rendered assistance on the scene.



Oakland firefighters responded, extinguished the fire and attended to Bautista, who suffered minor injuries from the fire.



The incident slowed morning traffic on the Bay Bridge. It took crews less than an hour to remove the vehicle and reopen lanes closed due to the incident.



Bautista was taken to Highland Hospital in Oakland for a psychiatric evaluation and treatment of his injuries, Ferguson said.









It is said that the guy was DANCING in the traffic while his truck burned...good grief.

I think he'll be sent to John George* for while.







*(John George is the county mental hospital)

2. And what's up with AppleOne? I was suppose to get the online app from them for the on-call proctor position 2 weeks ago. Me and the state bar did our parts, so what's up? How many times do I have to call? Dammit!

Man, was I chatty last night! I had the pleasure of speaking to a new friend here about a variety of subjects...including how we believe that many here are quite touched in the head. Such an intelligent, funny, sarcastic woman!

Other chats included: The need to lurk, and cooking for a large event; the love of writing, and getting a link to another member's writing; getting a link regarding spanking that I didn't ask for and am not interested in; online relationships...WTF? Why?; being called a cougar, which is rather funny, as I'm generally not interested in anything I could have given birth to (well - okay. He's gotta' be 40 at the VERY least); being called a fat dunderhead; being called a funny nice woman (I concur with this one - lol). I also chatted about jobs - and how I need to be doing something else; fussing at one who was going to self-delete - DON'T YOU DARE DO IT! And I discussed a little about the US military...love you guys!

@ Vladvampirelord - Fuck off, Gimp... If I want some slaves opinion, I'll ask for it.



*************************************************************************



While I don't condone words like 'Gimp' it's obvious that someone else here knows something about Vladvampirelord's medical condition.

Wow...

Isn't it ironic how nasty toxic people - with a myriad collection of medical and mental problems - find the time to start shit?

Double-wow.

More internet connection issues.

Right when I was about to get into the swing of things here last night, my connection died. Discovered that the source of the issue was the outlet used by the desktop.

I was lucky to have two electricians come over this morning to fix the wiring; they were already here working on two vacant apartments. It was in fact two of the three outlets in the living room that were totally screwed. Good grief.

Anyway, the electricians are suppose to come back on Monday to put on switch plates to cover up two exposed outlets (for now, they are covered with a lot of electrical tape to keep the kitties from possibly getting hurt...like stupid Ivanna, who jumps behind the tv to hide whenever someone comes over).



Well - time to study...will be back later on.

For my sis, Yoli.

Well - it would've been nice if you called me to let me know about the trip status. I had to call you several times to finally catch up with you for an answer.

I didn't like rushing about town yesterday because I thought that you all were coming up. Then - worrying that you possibly got into an accident.

What a damn headache!

Sometimes, you are so loopy at times.

I guess I'll get back to studying, and reading "Vampire Darcy's Desire". I read it before, but I love the way the story is written, so I'm reading it again! :)

Sometimes when I'm here, I go through some profiles, portfolios, and journals and think - "What a bunch of dumbasses." A lot of them are like this:

"Look at me! Look at me taking a picture of myself...I can't be bothered to crop the pics for a better presentation, because I'm lazy, and I have the attention span of a fruit fly. Oh - and I can't write a proper sentence; I can't spell either. But I'm so cool! I deserve a 10 rating on everything!"



...Really?



The reason I mention this beforehand is because when I'm able to see a great profile, read an interesting journal, or chat with someone with a functioning brain, it's really nice. The conversation could be serious; it could be silly. As long as the person is engaging and can communicate effectively, it makes my time here worthwhile. (Well that - and burrowing in the book section of the database, which is what brought me to VR in the first place).

So - last night I got to talk about one of my fave topics - classical music - and other music genres in general; Explaining the TTBS; Art? What is It?; and cats.

I'm pretty chatty at times - lol.

Wait...what?

Oh Lord...according to an 8:30am call I received this morning, my sis and mom are driving up from Southern Cal, and will be here tomorrow! They were suppose to come up here around or after the 15th - so this trip is of short-notice.

I'm looking forward to seeing my mom, but I'm in no way prepared to have them spend the night (I only have a queen-sized bed, and hardly any food that they'd want. My loveseat is too short and uncomfortable to sleep on).

Hopefully, I can contact my other sis to be sure that she can accommodate our mom, since she and my other sister do not speak to each other.



I have to stop by the pharmacy tomorrow morning to pick up some meds, so I hope that I am back home by the time they arrive. (The wait at this particular pharmacy is daunting, to say the least).

And I guess pick up some food that my mom will like, that is also healthy.





Update: so, it appears that Ray - the sis who lives up here - won't be home. She, her husband, and her daughter will all be working, so no one will be home to tend to mom. I just left a message for my other sis for my mom; Mom is NOT going to be happy. *sigh*

Had to make a lot of calls this morning. With the exception of one, where I actually got a human, the rest were a bunch of left messages. Ugh.



I woke up with some pain. My muscles were cramping. And I mean, from head to toe, literally. Then I realized that I probably didn't drink enough fluids yesterday. Duh.



With that, I need to do a little grocery shopping and laundry (before the load gets too big - lol)

I don't know if I'll get anything done though. I'm too lazy - and I still hurt. Ugh.



I can always study though. Yipee.

Had some fun and interesting chats last night. I sometimes amaze myself with how I've been able to juggle the conversations without sending the wrong replies to the wrong people.

On the other hand, I shouldn't juggle more than 4 conversations at a time...lol

Anyway, I talked about:

Teaching cats 'dog' tricks; learning a bit more about lupus and fibromyalgia, with a link to herbal remedies (I have a sis with the health issue); the perils of drinking too much apple juice, followed by too much milk (eeew); how I'm guessing how one detested person here may not be around for awhile; exams and work; on how many people here are kinda' slow; avoidance of the sun, for various reasons; and being totally OCD with the care of our teeth.

I love this commercial.

Holy crap. My walk totally sucked today. I didn't get very far, as my left knee would not cooperate with the rest of my body. The Icy Hot I applied earlier did not help. Talk about PAIN!!!

But I did manage to walk - albeit slowly, and got a pedometer reading of 5235. I was almost hobbling by the time I made it to the stairs to my apartment. Good grief.



So, after this entry and going over House stuff, I'm gonna' go study - hell, at least get one of today's tasks done, to some satisfaction.



Will be back later on.

Had some internet issues for two days; it should be resolved now - the AT&T tech just left. There were wiring issues, but what was weird was that when I'd log on here, I'd browse, then get stuck on a page and/or I couldn't log out properly. Then I'd get completely knock off the net. The other sites I go to were fine - it was just here on VR where the shit kept happening...???



Anyway - yesterday, after breakfast, I walked again. I did an extra 4 - 5 blocks too. On Saturday, the pedometer read 5960; yesterday's read was 6729. I think for the next walk - maybe tomorrow morning before it gets hot - I'll try using some of the streets that have an incline. I'm not ready for the steeper streets yet - lol.



I couldn't sleep last night; I was actually able to log on here, and I just started writing away. Added another chapter to my story. Everything is calm on Isis' home front...which means that I have to think up a new bloody adventure for her.



It still feels weird being off. So much time! I hope I get a few days in at work before the end of the fiscal year (July 1). Then, another 184 day contract. But - hopefully I'll be looking for and/or getting a pharm tech job!

I didn't do the power walking that I had planned on doing after Crunch's vet appointment. That heavy-ass cat wore me out, as I had to lug his big ass from bus, to bus, to the vet, and back.

Unlike Miss Kitty, Crunch is a very cool, sweet-natured cat. However, he costs me over $300, in which half of the bill was for blood work, as I want a check for hyperthyroidism. (He's lost a little weight, and seems to be drinking more water). I hope he doesn't have it, but if he does, I'll be sure that he starts the recommended medication regimen. In any case, he's healthy, and runs about the apartment more, which is good!

And I'm getting a refund check for $65 of the bill, as he had no urine for them for the urine test - lol.



While at the vet, I had a lil' Chihuahua-Dachshund mix making himself comfortable in my lap, while waiting for his appointment. The owner was rather surprised that he just climbed on me. She was apologizing, and I stopped her, as I wasn't bothered in the least! I hate that I didn't think to take a pic...he was too cute!







As I opted out of walking today, I've also decided not to study today. I just can't get into it now.

But of course - here I am screwing around on VR. LOL.

I'm just really, really bossy.





I got a busy day tomorrow. Taking fat-ass Crunch to the vet for his yearly routine check-up. And I may do that walking thing again afterwards, which my fat ass needs to do!
