Got my home computer desk moved around. All tetris like. An improvement to be sure but now I've got to deal with window glare.
Probably gonna go low budget on this one and hang a blanket or something up.

A solution is a solution :P
I'm glad u got it situated. Do whatever it takes to make things work.
I'm hoping I didn't over do it with the hot tea and sandwich I had to have a bit ago to take my night medicine with. Just trying to relax and get ready for sleep.
Hope so. Posting from phone at the laundromat so may take a bit to get one of my usual combat posts up.
I'm already feeling like I'm having some acid reflux.
Hmmm anything to take for it or just spend more time sitting up?
Just took a ranatadin. The problem is that it takes a while to take effect and I'm starting to cough and if it doesn't stop I'm gonna puke. Plus I don't want to have dreams like I did last night.
Sorry. Hope it kicks in soon.
Me too....I don't want to have to deal with people at work and no sleep at the same time.
The year of death rolls on. This time it's former Megadeth drummer, Nick Menza.
It doesn't really feel gone....but I've got to try to lie down anyways and hope for the best. Once I put my eye drops In one last time. Hopefully having my pillows propping up my head a little WILL help.
Had a call from someone who said they have a right to their online account, like I'm sitting here being a dick and keeping her from it. Took everything I had not to laugh while on the phone.
Uh huh because I'm guessing they didn't pay their bill and feel like somehow they should still get service? People are stupid.....hope your night goes well. We'll see what happens at work tomorrow and how much crap I'm gonna have to take for being sick last week and leaving them without me for three days.
No. It's her bank account, trying to login and view it online but she doesn't understand computers and f!%@ed it up on herself. Got frustrated when I started asking verification for security and tried to imply we were breaking the law by keeping her from it.
We have this thing called a bill of rights and I'm pretty sure it doesn't say shit about online service for banking.
Lol I never get the people who refuse to understand. I'm doing this for YOUR security so some random bastard doesn't call in and get access to your info.
Oh see.....that's why I let Henry handle all that stuff. I suck at computer stuff and would probably be one of those frustrated females if I messed something up online cuz I don't know how to do hardly anything on line. If something happened to my boobear I would be utterly lost and completely helpless.....in some ways.
Ohhhhh....I'm thinking I might have taken the antibiotic and steroid too close to the zyrtec and promethazin cough syrup that I take at night. That's what's probably making me feel so jittery while it feels like someone is playing the drums in my head. Not nice....I'm not liking this feeling or the recurring taste of bile that I can't seem to get rid of no matter what I do.
I stayed in bed when I wasn't up getting a drink, or going to the bathroom. I don't know why I dwell on things so much....but I was really dreading coming back in. I think taking all that medication too close together last night might have added to the mass of issues I was dealing with.
I'm probably just stressing over nothing. No one can heap the guilts on me as well or thorough as I can apparently. Its my own fault really....but I think that Once people realize how easy it is to guilt me into stuff....they just take advantage of it.
Well you needed to take the time to take care of yourself in order to be functional for them. Just try to have the best day possible today.

Yeah well....Ashley just asked if I was feeling better and I told her I could stay late a few days this week to make up for having to leave early on Thursday and she said I could for this week, but not last week and I told her that was fine and that was that.....All I've gotten from Sandy this morning is either passive aggressive backlash, the silent treatment and her famous line, "Well I was sick too but I just took medicine and came to work anyways." To which I replied, "Well...good for you. I'm glad you were able to do that but since you don't pay my Dr bills I'll take care if myself the way I see fit thank you very much." And then promptly went on about my business and ignored the drama harpy.
After dealing with Sandy the energy sucker all day and realizing that I'm only her favorite as long as she's happy and getting her way....I'm just exaughsted and feel completely emotionally drained. We stopped by somewhere to grab a quick bite cuz I'm dead on my feet and I'll try to post stuff later if I can.....I'm just...not feeling like myself right now and I don't want that to bleed through into our stories.
Okay. Take the time to restore your own energy. Screw the vampires.
I'm trying....I guess I only have myself to blame for being such a sensitive soul trapped in a tough exterior.
I think I need a soak in an Epson Salt bath and suck up some steam. I also have to call my friend in West Virginia......I guess I won't be watching DWTS finale.
I'm like 3 episodes behind. At least I have it on DVR. I definitely second the whole pampering yourself a bit.
on the phone with my dear friend Donna lefey.....might be a while. Sorry...I'll try not to hold things up too long but I have to figure out what's going on with her.
No problem, we'll be here. Enjoy talking to your friend.
Okay....so what she wanted was something completely different than what we ended up talking about and now she's trying to talk us into just up and moving out there to Virginia....where I probably would not be able to breath very well in the humidity....but then again....I don't know. She made a lot of really good points...but right now I'm with an OB dr that I trust that is actually trying to help me and I have to see it through before making a decision like that....but she said, if we needed help getting out of this place....out of this state that we would have it and now I just....I'm mind blown and I don't really know what to say or think. She said that they would help us with the moving van and everything and we didn't even have to go there to Virginia if there was somewhere else that we wanted to go instead they would help us get wherever we wanted to go as long as she knew we were in a safer place and living for us and not having to worry about taking care of everyone else after I've already done that for my family for the bulk of my life it's time to do for us and not them......I....I don't even know how to put into words how that makes me feel. They live like right off or on or something they live in Virginia beach and the OCEAN is like TWO miles from their house. We're not like living with other people type of people though....but if there was a way of finding our own place before or shortly after getting somewhere....than that would be ideal....I don't know...that was just a whole lot of stuff to dump on my brain before I'm supposed to be going to bed...but she worries about us and she wants us somewhere where we'll be safe and people aren't getting killed in front of Henry's store or our apartments. That makes three deaths total in the last year that happened right in front of our place or near to it, and now this one at his work....I know that no place is perfect and there are problems of some sort no matter where you go...but there has to be something more for us than this out there. There just has to.
Sorry for all that....I just have to get it out of my head somehow....
Nice to be reminded that people love you right? One way or another you need to get out of there at some point soon. Maybe not immediately, but definitely something to plan for. Wherever you end up going, Arkansas isn't your true home.
*nods* YEah....I know...we're just trying to figure things out and that was a lot to dump on my head so soon before I'm supposed to be going to sleep. I didn't sleep at all last night...and now it will be a miracle if I can sleep tonight. I just...I feel so overwhelmed by just...everything right now and all these stupid human feelings are really not helping right now.
I"m sorry....I just....I can't think.
So after talking things over with Henry we have come to the decision that at least for now, while I have a decent dr working for me we're just going to worry about the baby making for now and let everything else....we'll just deal with one thing at a time for now.
I think that's a great idea. It took you quite a while to get a doctor that works for you. We moved 3 times in Xavier's first 3 years. It'll all work out.
This is nothing new really....Donna has been trying to get me to move the hell away from this place for years....so I'm not even sure why I'm so surprised that it took me by surprise. Maybe because this time she was coming up with detailed plans of how she was gonna help us get out of this crazy place. Donna has wanted me to move closer to her ever since she moved to Virginia like years ago. She just doesn't mention it all the time, but then I have to go open my big mouth about all the crazy crap going on out here and there we go as it starts all up again.

Well...with the cup that Henry got me to take to work. Some 30 oz insulated thing and the water that I've had since being home I think it's pretty fair to say that since I refilled and drank four of those cup things at work that I've had somewhere around 150 oz of water today.
That's good. Should help to thin out the mucous too.
I've been drowning myself in it...plus the antibiotics and steroids plus all the stupid human emotion fall out is kind of drying me out so I have to drink constantly. My only question now is how many times am I gonna have to get up tonight while I'm trying to sleep to go to the bathroom. Oh well...there's always tomorrow night for sleep. Lol
And now my sister from CA is texting me....figures.
You're very popular tonight.
My last youngest niece which makes me the old auntie, is graduating from high school tomorrow. We sent her something in the mail but I don't think it could have gotten there yet and I was telling my sister to let her know how proud of her we are, blah blah blah. I had to tell my sister I was going to bed though or she would NEVER shut up. Her nick name wasn't chatter box for nuthin' ya know.

Okay....between the sheer exhaustion of everything I've been put through today at work, Donna....and now my sister...I think I'm pretty well done for for tonight. I can't hardly think at all or concentrate on anything for that matter. Here's the part where I need to take a few deep breaths and tell myself that everything is going to be okay and that we aren't gonna go leaping ahead a thousand steps before dealing with the issues right in front of us. Well...Henry actually said that, but he's right. People start talking to me about stuff and start making me think about stuff that isn't even possible right now while we're in the middle of other stuff....and I'm rambling now.
Yup...time to go to bed. When my thoughts stop making sense to even me...it's time to shut it down.
hehe
Was like that on my birthday. One of my aunts called and after talking for quite a while I'm telling her, "yeah it was nice and now we're sitting down and having family time before putting X to bed"
Her response "Oh that's great...." proceeds to talk for another 15 minutes.
Absolutely go get some much earned rest.
I is gonna try....or something. Let's see where the bed takes me. Hopefully not a camp run by undead staff....*shudders*
Oy
Eh....didn't get to sleep till after midnight, but I only had to get up like once or twice and went back to sleep okay once back in bed. I didn't wake up till after 6 this morning when Henry had to actually wake me up.
Okay.....so in going over Tesia we found out that for some reason, even though I've had it the whole time I've been playing her, that I'm not actually supposed to have Lightning Bolt. Neither of us can figure out how I came up with having that spell or if it was just a matter of confusion on my part, but Henry says that he's looked over everything and can't find where it says I'm allowed to have that spell so now I have to find a third level spell to replace it with and I can't do that till I get home so this combat is gonna be on hold till I can do that. I'm really sorry....we only discovered the goof a short time back. I'm sorry for delaying things once again.
Y'know I wondered about that when you cast that instead of call lightning and figured it was an archetype thing or something so I didn't ask. lol
Longer casting time but one casting gives you one shot per round while you cast other spells
CALL LIGHTNING (Druid 3)
Casting Time 1 round
Components V, S
EFFECT
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect one or more 30-ft.-long vertical lines of lightning
Duration 1 min./level
Saving Throw Reflex half; Spell Resistance yes
By the way...
This spell does not start a fire on a ship.
Source Skull & Shackles Player's Guide
DESCRIPTION
Immediately upon completion of the spell, and once per round thereafter, you may call down a 5-foot-wide, 30-foot-long, vertical bolt of lightning that deals 3d6 points of electricity damage. The bolt of lightning flashes down in a vertical stroke at whatever target point you choose within the spell's range (measured from your position at the time). Any creature in the target square or in the path of the bolt is affected.
You need not call a bolt of lightning immediately; other actions, even spellcasting, can be performed first. Each round after the first you may use a standard action (concentrating on the spell) to call a bolt. You may call a total number of bolts equal to your caster level (maximum 10 bolts).
If you are outdoors and in a stormy area - a rain shower, clouds and wind, hot and cloudy conditions, or even a tornado (including a whirlwind formed by a djinni or an air elemental of at least Large size) - each bolt deals 3d10 points of electricity damage instead of 3d6.
This spell functions indoors or underground but not underwater.
So it would take 10 rounds but you could do 30d6 or 30d10 damage with a 3rd level spell.
Yeah I know....I have that one too. I just liked bolt more because it did more damage, but oh well. We got enough bad asses in the group. Lol
