Quick Note For The Day.

Today was shopping day.

Started out late and wrong.

Nika didn't go to school because Jhodie couldn't find her socks. You would think that would make the school really strict if she had to wear socks, but they really aren't. Somewhere in Jhodie's head she decided that.

Looking back on it now, she was just delaying going to the ladies house today.

Well we left the house about 11:30 or so, and spent the next 6 hours walking around and shopping. We gave Nika sweets to keep her walking. That and a juice and water. In the end I think we walked about 2 miles. Jhodie said that 4 year olds are suppose to walk that much.

We got mostly snacks. We don't normally buy any and we still had a lot of everything else. We got Nika some socks, some panties, and a soccer vest made of netting like fabric. Normally only boys wear them, but we got it for Nika for when she is home and it's really hot.

We also got our water heater thing and replacement element since the guy couldn't tell us when we would need a new one. This is when we find out that it doesn't have a plug attached. We have to buy the wire, and the plug, and he doesn't sell them. Great. This is why we have nothing against free installation. Then when we got to to the place that had Nika's fan, low and behold they were out, and the only one that we could have gotten for Nika was $110. Would you play $110 for a desk fan that didn't come with any kind of warranty??? We didn't either. We almost did, and we still might. We are going to look again tomorrow. I hope this doesn't included a walk up to TDC Home center. Another 2 miles, and that is just to get there. We could get a bus to get us there at lunch time, but we might have to walk it back.

Well we did get the wire from the place that we were going to get Nika's fan. That was something all to itself. We then talked to the lumber yard people next door about the price for some new posts for our cloths line. That was pricey. Like everything else, but I didn't expect that much. What was it? $146 or something for one? Ya.

At Rams we bag checked our goods and most got the snacks and milk. A bag of sugar there, a butter there, some grapes and onions and such. Total came up to $256. And that is without my milks. How did it get that high? I don't know. We picked up most of the cereals over at IGA. Over there our total came up to $86.

We did pay alot of Cable. We had to, even if Pearl didn't show up with the money she owed us. It's people like her that make people like us not want to help anyone.

We got home around 5:30pm and Jhodie was suppose to go by the lady after we got back, because she was suppose to stop by sometime today, but she got out of it. First she was tried. Fine, we were all tired. 30 mins later I pulled my tired body from the bed to put up stuff and told her that she had to go, she didn't want to.

Nika fell asleep, then 30 mins or so later I fell asleep, then woke up 10 mins or so later to tell Jhodie to move her off my bed. Then I was out for a few hours after I fixed my sleeping position. I expected Jhoide to go to sleep too since it didn't' look like she was going to go anywhere. I learned later when she was going to bed after waking me up at 11pm, that just as she was thinking of going to sleep, Nika woke up. So she stayed with her until she woke me up.

The time is now 3:44am. Nika has been asleep on the couch for that last 3 hours at least. Jhoide has been asleep for 2 or so hours before that, and I'm wondering what to do. Do I could try leaving her on the couch. She's all comfy and has my fan. I could take her into my room since I have a bigger bed now. Or I could wake up Jhodie, have her move her laptop to make room for Nika. What do I do?

I think that I should try and get her into my bed. If she wakes up any, she'll head to Jhodie. I have to go back to bed. My mind is saying I had a good sleep, wish I had more, but hey. My body on the other hand has been trying to get me to go back to bed for the past hour. But I stayed to watch a more, and think of the questions I just posted here.

Ok. Oh, other than all this, I got my wallpapers in to my club early. I actually went to post a very clean wallpaper of a girl I made, but I ended up posting the month's set instead since June starts like Today. :)

Sorry, too late to spell check. Prey that I do it tomorrow.

Night.

**made it back to spell check, but no grammer check. It's late and I have to get today's blog out before bed. I have my "early shift" tomorrow. **

I Can't Remember

Ok, I'm finally making myself sit down and blog about my 4 or missed days.

It's just really hard for me to remember how the first three or so go. I'm so confused right now.

Yesterday is easy. I called in saying I was going to be an hour late. Came in, then took the slides upstairs and scanned them. Then at 4:30 power came back. At 5 I made it down to help M with turning the computers back on. I had worn my jean skirt so I could crawl under the tables to turn the power back on for the computers. She had gotten one of the guys from the library to come and help so we both go under there and turned them back on. I had to keep pulling my skirt back up. :) I'm going to like loosing weight.

Then I spent the rest of the day on the SGA computer trying to install Photo Shop and Paint Shop Paint and updating and trying to get a version I got of adobe acrobat to do what I wanted.

Jhodie called to let me know that we were wrong thinking that the two movies we wanted to see were coming on tonight. It's next weekend. She was all ready to tape it when she found it they weren't coming on. Spiderman 2 and Harry Potter the third one. Also, she already had our pizza.

When it came time to close up AM was there and she took me home. Nika ran out and into me when I was telling her about the place to get the veggie pizza since she was over here already.

Today (Sunday)

I got really late. It's the bus' fault. There weren't any for over 40 mins. Two came by but they weren't picking up anyone. I stood thought two rain falls! Ok, drizzles. I stood two drizzles under a weak tree hoping I won't get wet! By the time I got to work, it was 5 till 3. I told M why I was so late, she said that it was ok. She didn't need my help for anything.

I then worked and fixed and won the search engine code war. :) We now have a working search engine. It has a different look from the rest of the site. I'm thinking of using it for the look of our site when it comes time to re-do it. But I'm thinking of shooting myself in the foot. I want to look for another/better one. This one tells me that links are broken on the site, but it doesn't tell me on what pages, and there is no way of knowing what people are searching for on the site. :( I'll see.

Now I'm just freezing and trying to blog. I think that I'm going to eat some soup now just to get warm. But it’s a bit late. It's almost 8:30. At this time I just wait until I go home. I guess I could just walk around outside to get warm. Well my sister just called. Don't order anything to eat, I cooked. Order? I had $5 on me when I left home today. I already spent $2 of that to get here. I have no money. She really called so Nika could talk to me. Peter was there and pulled her hair. She thinks that he was mad her. I then went back to talking to Jhodie. It was Peter being Peter. She said that she will tell Nika that he wasn't mad her.

Now I'm just drinking water. I'm hungry. I made myself eat some eggs and bread before I left the house today at 2. I hadn't eaten anything before then or since then. Ouch. :(

I think I'll play a game or two to keep my mind off of my stomach, so far I've just been watching trailers. I've seen maybe 6 by now. I'll go spell check this now. I like spell checking in MS Word 2003. :) I didn't think that I was going to like it, but I do. The whole new office thing.

I know that I forgot a few things, but I can only write so much.

See ya.

Is That My Hand Touching My Nose?

Ok, it wasn't that late.

We had an unscheduled and scheduled power outage today.

We were suppose to loose power from 4:30pm until 6:30pm today so they could connect up the new generator to the school's system. Then 3 pm rolled around and our power went out. It seems that there was a fire or something somewhere, or something like that. I heard that it wasn't on campus.

Anyway, that left me with hours of cricket type noise from all the APCs crying for power. We use to turn them off, but Ron said to leave them on. Oh, I'm pulling extra hours today. M was out sick again today so I stayed and extra 3 hours, so I pulled a 11 hour shift. It wouldn't have been so bad if I was connected most of the time. For some reason, when the power outage thing started, I was being bumped off the network ever so often.

But I did win the search engine war. Almost. :) I have a search page, I just need to point the program to a template for the result page. I'll show it off once I have it all done.

I don't feel like I did much work today. :( Not happy with myself. And to boot, I left a teacher's computer in the middle of an install that he asked me to do for him. Now it hits me, when I'm at home. The casualties of war. :( I have so much to do tomorrow.

I have a tape to digitize for Dr. Shokry. I have the login pic for the calender program to finish, and now they want a matching logout one too. I have exam notices to post, I have to catch up with that teacher and finish his install. Then I go back to the search code thing. And, I have to keep reminding myself, I have to add the new information that I got about Semester 3 to add to the calender program.

On a surprising note, the clinic sent someone up this morning to let me know that I missed my date to come for my shot, and to ask when I was coming to get it. Well I had already planed to come Thursday before work, after all they weren't open on Wednesdays. If they were, I really wouldn't have been up late last night and I would have gone before work today.

Then there was my nice surprise for the day. I got my money from Hills. I wasn't going to ask anyone for it until after this paycheck, but I was leaving a teacher that I came upstairs to help, when I saw the accountant and decide to just ask. Just as the words were coming out of my mouth, the other girl in the account office called me. And for what? My check. Check? Ok. I was expecting it deposited right to my account. Ok. Guess the Royal Bank of Canada is going to be seeing me soon. It was one of their checks.

Ok... that's my day, I got a lunch that I have to pay back Tishion for, and dinner was bread and very tender lamb. Outside tonight is on the cool side, but as you came into the house you started to get over heated.

Ok....Done.

So I Pulled a Few Weeds.

Ok.. I woke up or was woken up around 10am. Pick which ever one you like that puts me in a better light in your eyes.

I see Nika. I see my clock. 10:30? Nika?

Jhodie!?! She didn't make it school ha? Ok.

I wasn't going to put up a fight starting manual yard labour, but Nika and I both asked for break fast first. We got eggs and toast. Nika got runny yokes, I got scrambled. She went out all out. She oven toasted/warmed french cut bread. I raised my eyebrow. Nice start to the day. Jhodie even started cooking dinner. Way early, which turned out to be ok later.

Ok, weeding. I got up and watered the yard to make pulling them up a bit easier. On my way out Jhodie asked me to water the banana and plantain plants in the back. I also paused to clear out the drain. I should have gotten the shovel, but I used a stick instead. Knocked a cup that I hadn't a clue where it came from, and dirt. Where was the dirt coming from?

I then went back to wetting the rest of the yard. After getting most of it, I picked up the cloths so I could get that part. Then I hung out a bit to watch DS9. It's the one where they found out that the doctor had his DNA messed with to make him smarter along along with a few other things. It's a bit of a sad ep, but a nice one. In case you missed this one, when he was 7 his parents had just about everything about him enhanced because they thought he was "slow". Most likely he was just a little bit slower and as far as Julian is concerned, they didn't give him a chance to try and catch up. So they "fixed" his memory retaining ability, his hand eye coordination, his height, his stamina. In the end as he said, the only thing that wasn't changed was his name. At the same time we have a guess appearance from the doctor from Voyager. He was playing his maker. The guy who designed and created the Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH). Anyway, he was there to make a version that was going to be used for longer periods of time. The first wasn't to, and this time around they decided to make it based on someone else other than the maker. He had no bed side manners. And of all the doctors in all of Star Feet they picked Julian to be the template for the new EMH.

ok... to hurry and get back to my day... the maker called up his parents after he asked me him not to and found out that they had messed with is genes. Then a whole court thing happened since it's illegal. They passed some law after "Khan" tried to take over earth. :)

Ok.. back to the weeds.

I tried to look for Jhodie's gardening fork to help with the weeds, but we didn't find it. I walked back outside to have Nika spray me with the hose. For her shake I tired to make it funny, and I wasn't that upset. She has to have fun in her life. I sneaked up on her when she wasn't looking my way and got the hose from her. After wetting down the yard some more, we started to pull up weeds. My sister who had the gloves did the bigger ones with the thorns on them. Nika was with me doing the more manageable part of the garden, but she just didn't know which one to pull and after a while she wanted the gloves, I think she just didn't want to pull anymore but was thinking of trying to pull them with gloves. I don't really think that her hands were hurting her. She pulled just about nothing. I was left in a bent over position pulling weeds in a U formation. When I was able to stand up right, I got the rake and pulled them to the trash pile. For a few mins the rake was the only thing keeping me up. I was then sent inside to give Nika something to eat for lunch. Nika may have just had breakfast, but she barely ate anything. The girl picks at everything. Few things she eats a good about of these days. So I heated up her leftovers from the night before.

I seem to have lost some time, until 1:30ish, then we all went down for a nap. I had told Jhodie that I had my appointment for my shot today, but she didn't wake me in time. After doing something else for a while, we got ready to go for a walk. Oh, I was suppose to give Nika a bath, then take one so we could go to town. Nika wanted to splash. I didn't want to, but after 20 mins I had to. So we went in, she got a cup and soon she was flinging water in my hair. After a while I soaped her up and washed her off, and kicked her out of the bathroom so I could take a bath and wash my hair. That took me some time.

By the time we were all dry, dressed and ready to walk out the door it was minutes to 5. Then we walked into town. Jhodie forgot to take a rag with her for all the sweat. On the way in we got a slice of pizza from Pizza Lovers and shared it as we walked in to town. Nika was the only one who had lunch. It wasn't that great. Just about no sauce, wheat crust that was slight burnt, and tons of mozzarella cheese.

Jhodie wanted to swing by Ram's to pick up a few things that were on sale, but it was starting to look that we might not make it in time. They close at 6, but Nika was starting to act up and not walk, but we made in with 5 mins left. We got like five things but we spent more than we had planed to since Jhodie really came to buy some Nachos from Bamboo's. The plate was $25 including tax. When we got there, it looked like it was full. The outside tables were packed, so I hung back while Jhodie went to ask about something. She came back and said that we were getting it, and it was empty on the inside. My sister was dressed for town. But I wasn't that dressed up.

Since there weren't that many people there we were served quickly. The shocker came when we got the bill. Jhodie ordered two fruit punches without knowing how much they were. That plus my OJ came up to $21. :) So once again she spent more money than she thought she would, but we left with a lot of ice. :)

We then walked back around and decided to go check out Port Zanty. We haven't gone walking there in a while. I also wanted to see what became of the last place they were building the last time we were there. It was turned into a jewelry type store. Ok. Then we saw. They were building a new building, that for as far was we knew wasn't suppose to have building there. And it looks like they have been at it for a while. There were walls half way up. We are betting that it's going to be a waiting area for the cruse ship people and such.

Then we slowly walked over the bus stop where we were given the treat of finding the big nice bus there. We got on, and waited about 5 or so mins then we were off. The last event for the day before we got home was when we were getting off the bus. Someone we knew sat in the folding seat next to the door, and when the bus stopped we were trying to tell him not to stand in the door well so the door could open when this kid, just about walked over us to get out of a door that wasn't even open yet. The nerve!

That was my Sunday.

Short Day, with it's long Points.

Not for My Mother To read, or anyone else related to me.

Ok, My day started out like I kinda expected it. Nika came in, she said good bye. I was sleeping in what was suppose to be my new room on a bed that can hardly be called a bed. Ok, I take that back. It's a bed, but there was no give. It's almost like sleeping on a plank of wood. I'm surprised my sister didn't say anything.

Well I set my clock to wake me up at 10 something so I could start on dishes before noon.
First let me point out. Due to this bad bed, I've been discomforted enough that I woke up every 3 or so hours since I went to bed around 1am or so.

Ok, my clock woke me up, I got up, turned it off, then sat back down again. Then I thought that I had the house to myself, and I felt like it, I'll jerk off, do the dishes, hang out the cloths that she left in the washer, and then get Nika. A nice full day.

I got worked up, about to finish up when she came back home. At this point I want to finish. So I'll just stay in bed until she leaves and finish. She didn't leave for over 2 hours. That plan is shot.

Her afternoon job was suppose to call her at Noon to say that she was on her way to pick her up. She didn't call until 1pm. I started washing the dishes after she left. After awhile I was staring, so I stopped and got some granola bars to eat. I was out of my milk so I couldn't have cereal. While I was eating I checked my mail. Jhodie left the computer on for me.

I found and interesting e-mail in there. It was a request from someone for my contact information. I didn't know who it was, but he had a yahoo ID, and it was all lit up letting me knew that he ( I know just about no girls on line) was on line. So I turned on tillian and sent him an IM asking him why I should give him my information.

It turns out he was a blast from my internet past. When I first got on line back in '98. '99 I wa a wild one. He said that he lost most my info when he old computer died on him a ways back. I then clicked on the link in the e-mail while we were talking and there was a pic of him. He looked familiar. Ok, so I use to talk with him. If I hadn't checked his picture I would have thought that he got me mixed up with someone else for all the nice things he was saying about from back then. I think that we may have swapped stories too. He asked if I had written anything new since last we talked. I'm petty sure I hadn't. I hadn't written that much once I was on line. Just about all the stories I did were done before I got one line.

So we chatted for like 15 mins then I had to say good bye. I added him to my list, then went back to washing the dishes. I couldn't be late in picking up Nika. I put on the TATU songs I told you about and played them while I was washing the dishes. I got most of them done, then I went for my shower. Then stood in front of the fan as I combed out my hair. It wasn't as bad as it was the day before, but it was still a hot day. Then I went and got my cloths, and then got my keys and went for Nika. But just before I left I got a bottle of water for Nika in case she wanted some.

I showed up to not seeing her in sight so I signed the book thinking that I'll go look for her afterwards. It was HOT inside. As I finish signing the book she runs up me with wet hands. She went to wash her hands. We walked home, and she changed her cloths. I went and picked up the cloths from the line. I then hung three lines of cloths, and put the rest in the washer for a rinse. I washed up a bit more of the dishes, and cleaned up more of the table.

I tried to get Nika to help so she would be tired later. She helped with taking in some of the cloths. Then she went to sweeping the floor, then she stopped that and said she will do the rest of it tomorrow. :) Guess it was too much for her to sweep. She then went to watch some tv. I came in to see her watching Elmo. :)

At this point we are waiting for Jhodie to come home. I expected her at 6. 6 came and went. 7 came and went. Nika has now been standing at door waiting for Jhodie for about 40 mins. At 8pm she started to cry that she wanted mommy. Not a loud cry, but she was crying. I got the phone and was looking up the girl's number that she was working at this afternoon to find out what was going on. But just before I found the number Jhodie called. She was in town. She called to find out ate yet. I told her we waiting for her, and Nika was crying. She talked to Nika then I got the phone back. She was getting us food from town. She was at the bus stop now.

After the phone call she was here in like 30 or so mins. It didn't seem that long too us. Nika was grinning ear to ear that Mommy was coming home just before I heard the gate open. Nika then went down around 10 when she got tired.

WOW!.... I just looked at the clock. It's 3:56am. Why am I awake? I have to be pulling weeds and what not in a few hours. We are cleaning the yard today, and sometime before 3 I have to go get my shot. Great, just great. I had to stay up and blog. I hate when my time is thrown off.

Ok, that's it anyway.

Spell checked, but didn't grammer check. Sorry. If you find a mistake let me know and I'll come back and fix it.
