I Didn't Walk Back.
I had good timeing yesterday when I went to pay my bills.
Just about no one was in line at both places.
But before I left the house, the post man sceared me. I just about never see him deliver the mail, so I looked into the living room, saw a hand coming through the living room window and shouted "HA!" Lucky me I don't think he knew that if I was near a knife I might have attacked him. I'm gald I wasn't either. I tryed to explane that I was sorry for shouthing and that he scared me, but he had already walked back out the yard. I went to see what mail he brought. The two bills that I needed to pay that day and an envelope of reciepts for everything else that I was paying down on from Horsford.
I walked into town feeling fine and made a nice little discovery. A few months ago, we found out that 5 Ways was now more. It was sold, fixed up, but until yesterday, I saw no hit that a downstairs eatary was up and running. I stopped at the front door, and read what they were selling and checked out the prices. Not bad, but it didn't say what hours they had. So I walked in and since I never look like I belong anywhere, the chef who was sitting at one of the tables said good afternoon and I asked when they closed. First he said that they haven't started thier later hours to 8 yet, and currently they were opened until 6pm.
On the way back I stopped off at a few places. I got some bread, I got some liquid hand soap, then I got lunch since it was after 3 and I hadn't had breakfast yet. I got two jonnie cakes and saltfish, then I walked over to Ram's to get some milk, ginger snaps, and a viggie frozen side dish that we saw the last time we went shopping. It cost me $10. I found lactose free milk, they were instock again. I then picked up a few more things, but I didn't go over 10 items.
After all that I spent a pretty penny. I could no longer afford to go back to the new 5Ways to get slice fish and fries for lunch and save the jonney cakes for dinner. Besides, it was far hotter than I thought it would be, and I just wanted to go home. I didn't feel like walking it back.
The rest of my was rather unevent full. I cleaned off the washer. Something it looks like my sister has not done in ages. I ran the stuff that she left back in a basket through another cycle with some softener, then hung them out. Then I just preped for today and tryed to go to sleep. Which didn't work out so well, since I had a nap after I got back from town.
I don't feel like I'll be up that late again tonight.
I'm just about ready to go and watch about 3 or eps of anime, then bore myself to sleep with the weather channel. *grin*
Today (Wednesday) was set to be a great day. It just got worst and worst bit by bit. I got up, made breakfast, something I haven't done in ages. Toast and eggs with bush tea. I washed a sink full of dishes, ironed my skirt that I had airing out all night, and before all that, I got up at 8:45 and put my bra and shirt outside to finish dry for the day.
I was thinking I was set, I was going to get to work early today, I had a meeting with TJ, and get some answers for some questions. Have veggie lassanza from the Ital place, and then start on the compling of the Ross Link before coming home to make rice to go with the veggie side dish for dinner.
I didn't make to work early. I even got to work 7mins after the hour. I was suck for most of the day helping Ms. Boradbelt with a scanning issue. Then I missed being able to go for lunch. I was asked to set up a scanner for a teacher and almost took it apart, because it was locked before moving an that person didn't unlock it once it was brought over, and I didn't remember about the lock until I had taken out two screws and was trying to find a way to get the other side off. Then when I was having a talk with Ron, he told me that most of the no licenced and free stuff was going to go bye bye. Even FireFox. NO! I don't care if you take everything else, and made me use Windows Media Player to play music, but not FireFox. *sob... sob*
I endned up spending $10 instead of $7 for lunch which I didn't end up getting and eating until after 5pm. At that point I should have just waiting until I got home to get something to eat, but I was hungery. I missed getting some tomatoes because I had to help someone with something because they had to go do something else, so by the time I came back out the egg guy was gone.
After I ate I was feeling tried and not wanting to do anything. I nooded off, then just waited for the end of my shift so I could home. I helped two students, but only one really. Then when it was time for me to leave I remember something that I should have done, and stayed back to do that, then I found some stuff that I should take off the computer. I forgot my thumb drive at home so I was cleaning off a CD-RW but it was taking forever so I set the computer to restart in an hour and a half, and locked the computer and left work at 25 till 8.
I'll mess with the Ross Link tomorrow.
I did get to eat my side dish but I didn't make rice to go with it. I made cuscus to go with it instead.
Ok, time to watch some anime and be asleep by 2am.
See ya......

Do Your Nails Feel Funny When You Paint Them?
Mines always feel funny and heavy. One of the reasons why I don't do it often, and often for me is like once every 3 or so years. *grin*.
I felt like painting them a few hours ago, but then stopped after one hand when I remembered that I have a ton load of dishes to wash. Oh, it's clear polish by the way. Colour polish just looks wrong on my fingers. My fingers feel so odd right now that I'm itching to take it off. I wonder where the alcohol is?? *looking over at the medicine shelf*
Let's see. Last night it was 2 before I knew it. I don't think that I went to sleep at 3:30am maybe. I had two phone calls today. At 8am M called me. She had called me at work last night to say that someone would give me something for her. They didn't. So I said so, and even said that I forgot to go looking for them. After I hung up, I realized that, that person wasn't even at work yesterday. So it wasn't my fault after all.
Then an hour and half later I got another phone call. It was from Peter. Yes I'm saying his first name. He wanted to come over and watch tv. I'm darn sure he called because he knew I was here alone. He said that he was board and wanted to watch tv. I asked for how long. He said two hours. I said ok, then I told him the house was a wreck. Then I got up and proceeded to clean up something of the living room. I may not like him, but I don't like people to see the mess this place is in at times. I cleared a part of the couch, moved a few things, and was just about done when he came. I unlocked the door and walked towards the bathroom. As I walked down the hall and as he came in I told him the remote was on the couch and that he had to push the button on the tv to turn it on. I came out of the bathroom to find him under the computer desk. I looked at him and he said that he wanted to plug in his phone to recharge, but he couldn't get it into the surge protector. I first said that he could, not that he asked, then I told him that he had to push the gray tab. It's a safety feature. I then went into my bedroom and closed the door.
I occupied myself on the computer for two hours then laid down while I downloaded something. Before I fell asleep he knocked on my door and asked for something to drink. I told him the kitchen was empty. I then woke back up 2 hours later. There's a nap for you. I was starving. I walked out to go to the bathroom again and told him as I was passing that I was going out.
I have nothing to eat in this house. I might try cooking tomorrow just to save money. He left right away, but I would have let him stay until I was ready to leave, but fine by me. I then walked out to see that he went to store, got stuff and added them to the mess. Well, about 30 mins later I was out the house with my thumb drive to see if I could find that kid that I showed you in the last post, my keys and $20 for lunch. I should just have gone to school to get Itel food. I walked all over the village and I only saw two open stores. I went right to one place, and they were closed. The car for the kid wasn't where I expected it to be. I didn't see it at all, and the one kid I asked at a store close by didn't know him. Then I started wondering around the village for somewhere that was open where I could buy something to eat that looked liked food. So in the end I ended back up at a place I passed when I was headed to the first place. It was 4 blocks down Wiggly Ave.
But before I got there, I ran into the nurse and her husband. It seems that they bought this building about two blocks from my house. It's on the main road, and it's two stories, with the ground floor being a store. They were painting it up. They are going to rent it out when they are done. The apartment on the top has 4 bedrooms, and they are going to rent it out by the bedroom to students. Because of the list of stuff that you have to have to be picked as a good place for housing for Ross, they are going to first offer it to the nursing students at the other Ross. I don't blame her, but I told her that not all RossVet students demand all the stuff that housing asks for, because they don't have the money for it.
So I then walked down 4 blocks to get to that store. I first hopefully asked if she had lunch. She sells lunches normally, but today was her day off too. I saw an egg and cheese sandwich, so I took one, two $1.25 bread, and two drinks. One a big pineapple juice box that was $100 juice, and a fizzy drink incase I got an upset tummy later. Because I had asked about lunch at the start, she asked if I didn't want another sandwich. I looked back in the showcase, then asked if she had more. She said that she could make one, I said go for it. When it was all said and done, I got back .50 cents from my $20.
When I got back home watered the plants at the front of the house by pulling the hose through the bathroom window and through the house. A few hours later after eating my sandwiches I bagged the trash that my sister left in the trash can, and turned over the trash can to get some of the water out and give it a chance to try out. I then brought in the other one that I had turned over, over a week ago. I cleaned up a bit. I bagged every thing that I could bag, stacked a few things, set up the computer to download a few things, and watched tv for about 3 hours. At one point I was starting to nod off, so I got up and walked around and checked on the computer, and did a few stretches, then found something to watch. Then after a show or two I turned on this computer to be close to the tv as I checked my mail.
Tomorrow I have to go to town to pay a few bills, and since I have the money on me I don't have to go all the way into town then come back out to pay one of the bills then go back in again. I have lights and phone to pay, then I'll pick up a cheep lunch, then think about walking back home along the main road.
I got a few things for the staff newspaper in my school mail. Getting anything is good. It's starting to look like the projects across Ross are going to be taking over a good part of the paper this time. One story that I was expecting is starting to look like it won't make it, and the other story that I was told about, hadn't got started yet so that will go in the next issue. I'm also still waiting on three other pieces.
I hope I have more then pics of cement and two recipes to publish come Thursday Night.
Ok, I've spent enough time on this. It's currently 2:57am. I'm going now. See ya.

This Boy and His Car.
I've tired three times to send him his pics, but he never gets them.
I went to school with him down here when I was growing up. He was this skinny wirey thing when he was smaller. I'm going to swing by his place tomorrow with the pics on my thumb drive and let him copy them off.
I just home I remember. *grin*
I kinda figered out the printing issue.
I scanned them too small to be printed at my specks. They work just fine for being seen on the computer, but to print it it's not very good at all. That would be why the sanner was left set at 900. I took it down to 100. I don't scan things in to print them. Sorry.
But that computer isn't really set up to print such high res pics. I'll let the guy know the next time I see him.
Night. I'm going to go and make myself do the last half of the outlook thing to get it out of the way.
Wish my luck.

Hello.
I'm just doing my part to make the internet world a better look place.
Well last night was the first of my week alone.
Jhodie is spending a week in Nevis with Nika at Lynn's place. Let's see if she can make it a week.
Most of my week will trying to clean up the place. It is such a mess. I'm going to have to wash some dishes just to eat something tonight.
For dinner last night and to have something to eat when I got out of bed today, it was couscous and corned beef with green sweet peas. It sounds nice now, and it tasted fine once I got it done. But first I had to melt a bowl in the microwave. *grin*.... and right after my mother called and heard the story how I messed up the stove top. I just read on part one. I saw 4 and thought it was 4 cups, not 4 1/2 cups. So I made a lot of stuffing.
Nothing much going on other wise... I guess I should mention Saturday.
I was suppose to go with Jhodie to the seventh semester sale, but I didn't want to, and she asked Nika and she said that she didn't want to go so we were left home while Jhodie went Lynn. About 40 mins later Nika comes in saying she misses Mommy. Great! I should have laid there and tell her that she will be back in 4 or so hours. But noooo... I had to drag my somewhat sick body out of bed, get dressed, catch a bus, got it take us all the way over there, pay $5, to meet up with my sister.
We left the house after the rain that had sent most of the student running for their lives I was told when I got there. I stood for a while thinking of while I was there, then saw one of few friends and just leaned on his car with him until my uncle came over and said he could take me home now.
Two hours or so later they came home, and woke me up. Well Lynn did anyway twice. She wanted me to test out a printer and a router that she got at the sale. Then Nika walked in to show me her clown hair that Jhodie got her.
Then at 1pm I got up to have a look at the stuff Lynn bugged me about. The router was ok. Reset it and just went though the wizard once I tracked down the IP for it. Then I tried to work with the printer. I knew the printer. A teacher had asked the student to bring it in to school so he could print off some pics.... ????
Either which way. I knew that the model itself was a good printer, and I expected it to just work fine. The install stall went by ok. But when it came to printing, we had a small glitch. It pulled a number of pages at once. Nothing I tried could stop it not that I had much to try. That is normally a hard ware issue and with an issue like that it would mean a replacement part, and I can't do that. I'm hoping that it will settle down once she puts in a clean fresh stack of paper. I just had a few old ones to test it with. Jhodie will tell me when she gets back.
Did I tell you that my mother sent me a cell phone the other day? Yep, along with some money for each of us. I got $40, the same as Jhodie and Nika got $10. Along with all of this was some papers that Jhodie had to sign and mail off to immigrations. She waited to long now we have to wait until Tuesday, and it looks like I will have to find them and mail them. She didn't take them with her to Nevis, and I don't know where they are and considering the state the house is in, I may not find it until Tuesday.
I won't get another ep of Bleach until the 2nd of May they tell me. It's and ongoing show in Japan, and they are on vacation right now or something. Sounds like Easter to me, but I hope it's at least called something else over there.

Here is a book that I got last night and started reading today. If you find that you really like it, buy it. And if you have to printed version it may be cheaper to buy a copy then to print it considering how much ink cost.
I love how this guy explains stuff, but I seem to know a few of what he's talking about, so I'm just skipping along so far.
Her's a part out of book that I so agree with.
Change the wallpaper
What, you’re still staring at that DELL logo? Sheesh. Kinda low bandwidth, ain’t ya? Seriously, there’s no reason in the world to keep the Windows desktop background picture (commonly called wallpaper) that you got when you bought your PC. You can download hundreds of thousands of different specially designed pictures by using Google to search for “free Windows wallpaper.” Or better yet, you can stick your favorite photo or other picture file on the desktop.
It’s remarkably easy:
1. Navigate to the photo or picture that you want to put on the desktop. You might choose Start➪My Pictures or you might download a picture from the Internet.
2. Right-click the picture and choose Set As Desktop Background. Windows puts the picture on the desktop.
That last part I didn't know, but I bug everyone about changing or just getting a wallpaper.
I don't right click on pictures to begin with, and since I've worked myself up from 95, I've always done it from display settings. That is nice to know. It's better then the browse button. *grin*
Ok, I've got to figure out a printing issue that I have with some files.
See ya.

About 40 mins later Nika comes in saying she misses Mommy. Great! I should have laid there and tell her that she will be back in 4 or so hours. But noooo... I had to drag my somewhat sick body out of bed, get dressed, catch a bus, got it take us all the way over there, pay $5, to meet up with my sister.
We left the house after the rain that had sent most of the student running for their lives I was told when I got there. I stood for a while thinking of while I was there, then saw one of few friends and just leaned on his car with him until my uncle came over and said he could take me home now.
Two hours or so later they came home, and woke me up. Well Lynn did anyway twice. She wanted me to test out a printer and a router that she got at the sale. Then Nika walked in to show me her clown hair that Jhodie got her.
Then at 1pm I got up to have a look at the stuff Lynn bugged me about. The router was ok. Reset it and just went though the wizard once I tracked down the IP for it. Then I tried to work with the printer. I knew the printer. A teacher had asked the student to bring it in to school so he could print off some pics.... ????
Either which way. I knew that the model itself was a good printer, and I expected it to just work fine. The install stall went by ok. But when it came to printing, we had a small glitch. It pulled a number of pages at once. Nothing I tried could stop it not that I had much to try. That is normally a hard ware issue and with an issue like that it would mean a replacement part, and I can't do that. I'm hoping that it will settle down once she puts in a clean fresh stack of paper. I just had a few old ones to test it with. Jhodie will tell me when she gets back.
Did I tell you that my mother sent me a cell phone the other day? Yep, along with some money for each of us. I got $40, the same as Jhodie and Nika got $10. Along with all of this was some papers that Jhodie had to sign and mail off to immigrations. She waited to long now we have to wait until Tuesday, and it looks like I will have to find them and mail them. She didn't take them with her to Nevis, and I don't know where they are and considering the state the house is in, I may not find it until Tuesday.
I won't get another ep of Bleach until the 2nd of May they tell me. It's and ongoing show in Japan, and they are on vacation right now or something. Sounds like Easter to me, but I hope it's at least called something else over there.

Here is a book that I got last night and started reading today. If you find that you really like it, buy it. And if you have to printed version it may be cheaper to buy a copy then to print it considering how much ink cost.
I love how this guy explains stuff, but I seem to know a few of what he's talking about, so I'm just skipping along so far.
Her's a part out of book that I so agree with.
Change the wallpaper
What, you’re still staring at that DELL logo? Sheesh. Kinda low bandwidth, ain’t ya? Seriously, there’s no reason in the world to keep the Windows desktop background picture (commonly called wallpaper) that you got when you bought your PC. You can download hundreds of thousands of different specially designed pictures by using Google to search for “free Windows wallpaper.” Or better yet, you can stick your favorite photo or other picture file on the desktop.
It’s remarkably easy:
1. Navigate to the photo or picture that you want to put on the desktop. You might choose Start➪My Pictures or you might download a picture from the Internet.
2. Right-click the picture and choose Set As Desktop Background. Windows puts the picture on the desktop.
That last part I didn't know, but I bug everyone about changing or just getting a wallpaper.
I don't right click on pictures to begin with, and since I've worked myself up from 95, I've always done it from display settings. That is nice to know. It's better then the browse button. *grin*
Ok, I've got to figure out a printing issue that I have with some files.
See ya.
