What Have You Done Today?

[Shantel]

Malachite would be proud of me!

Found a big wolf spider stuck in the dog's empty water bowl this morning, added water and dumped it in the kitchen sink turning on the garbage disposal unit and sent him to the big web in the sky!

That's Woof Spider! Maybe it was waiting for you to feed it some dog food. 

And yeah, I think I am.

My big tough Border Collie is afraid of spiders, maybe I shouldn't have had him neutered, he's turning into a fraidy cat!

Well, I got a few of those "dreaded" phone calls made today and found out some great information: It seems my insurance will in addition to covering my surgery, pay for travel expenses to and from, and while staying in Miami for my SRS!, YaY! This alleviates a huge concern of mine because it's $80 plus in gas alone one way. Absolutely great news indeed. I also found out they'll pay for out of state procedures and surgeries as well -good to know regarding my VFS(voice surgery). My insurance lady told me a lot of people don't know about this travel expense coverage and as a result fail to take advantage of it. So it pays to check into things girls -ya never know.

As usual I'm glued to my TV this time of year for Shark Week!, so I'm watching that as I converse with you fabulous ladies and gents. Other than that it's been an ugly rainy day so I've been stuck at home. Honestly we've had more rain here in Florida than I've ever seen this time of year.

You sure scored with that insurance company!

I have to admit it is nice knowing for the most part things are going to work out. I just can hardly wait!

Another piece of great news -Just an hour ago got a call from a guy needing his boat fixed. Long story short I got a big job coming in tomorrow. After this lull in work all I can say is, it's about time!

My goodness Ali, I am so happy for you.  (hugs)

So, today after mom left out for work I called up my friend that I talked to yesterday over my laptop, but today using the cell phone. I have never ever talked so long over the phone, more than probably a whole decade combined of what I'd done in the past, around 5 hours talking about all sorts of stuff and conversation was wonderful. I am so comfortable with her, damn if only we lived closer to each other.

So it was a good day for me.  I still can't believe I was on the phone for that long, I was like a teenage girl.

"The big web in the sky" made me lol.

Today I sewed some ripped pants because it looks like it might not be summer forever.

Congratulations Megan on overcoming this obstacle! I'm so so soooooo happy for you. Biiiig hugs! Progress in overcoming obstacles or fears in our way toward total happiness no matter how big or small are always celebrations of accomplishment for they move us into new wider ability of understanding ourselves and others around us giving us the freedom to be happy. Okay enough philosophy. I'm just very happy for you!

Yeah me too. Life's too short to be spent hamstrung and hobbled by unnecessary fears!

[Allyda]

I can't get nothing done in this rain and with my back, hip, and leg hurting so bad. However I did get some minor housework completed and I must try to do one more thing before I'm done for the day. One good thing -my job just called and said he'll bring his boat in tomorrow. So at least my customer hasn't abandoned me due to the rain.

Called in to work, practiced driving to the store and got a few new shirts for the weekend, came back and worked on my thesis, going to head to uni for a meeting, then off for a 48 hour shift (yes, you read that right).

You will be getting to sleep during that shift though won't you?

[Megan Joanne]

In a really, really bad mood today, not sure why, but I ended up having to sleep it off when I got home from work and shopping. Mom dragged me to Goodwill, I didn't feel like shopping and didn't really bother looking. And while grocery shopping I just walked around feeling and looking pissed off. I just wanted to go home. And shortly after getting home I went to sleep, actually quietly crying myself to sleep. I need someone to make me smile because I have yet to today, I tried to a few times but it looked and felt forced. Actually I don't think I can today, maybe tomorrow. I think I'm hating my life, not me, I'm fine with me (well not completely), just everything else in it.

[Adam (birkin)]

Of course lol, 2 8 hour stints. So work 16 hours, sleep 8, work 16, sleep 8.

[Megan Joanne]

That is a lot of working. I work only a quarter of that and I'm exhausted, even sometimes falling asleep on my feet. I wish I had that kind of energy.

[Adam (birkin)]

Well the job isn't extremely physical, so that helps. It isn't so much that I have energy though, it's that I literally cannot stand the idea of calling the surgeon and asking him to move the date again lol. I want to be able to go up to his office and pay him in full and get these puppies taken off. -_-

After what Birkin said you must not be nearly as grumpy as before huh Boo-Boo?

I dunno, we better discuss that with the Humane Society, harming puppies is not considered nice!
