in the last years that I have been online I have come across a few web sites and places of interest that have actually caught my eye on numerous times and for different reasons. My favorite of these is http://brokenperfection.com
yeah.. ok, get your mind outta the gutter!
This morning I woke up with freeking pain shooting up my wrist from my thumb. Is it possible to sleep wrong on a thumb?
I am getting pretty tired of things hurting..aching.. being swollen.. I am questioning the whole aging process at this point, and most definately what my quality of life is.
It seems that all I do is get up.. go to work where its the same old, same old.. I never get asked to do anything different.. no projects, no special work that makes a break in the mundane. I have become a corporate production whore… and I do not like the feeling.
Granted, I do have Widgets. I love being the specialist on them and having the trust of the dev team. To be good at this I need to know the issues that users are experiencing, however my teammates that are also finally responding to user emails (after a year of needing their assistance) and they are not giving me any heads up to issues that they see. Its disheartening.
When my workday ends, I go home.. where its feed the cats, clean the box, chat or watch TV for a few hours.. then to bed. When I wake up.. its the same damn cycle again and again…
This is my life as it stands.. and it sucks.
As you might recall, I have been planning… waiting and looking forward to taking a step toward better health by having gastric Lapband surgery. This process is done by placing a small silicone band around your upper stomach that creates a small pouch to hold your food instead of the large area that normally exists. The concept behind this process is to give you a smaller area to actually hold food. When you cannot hold a lot, its very difficult to overeat. The result is weight loss, better over all health and a minimal recover time as the procedure is done laproscopically.
In doing my research for a location to have the surgery done I have discovered Journeylite. Journeylite is a nationwide network of lap band surgical facilities and surgeons who specialize in the LAPBAND procedure for the surgical treatment of obesity. They seem to have facilities conveniently located in Los Angeles CA, Houston Texas and of course, Tampa lap band Central Florida and other nationwide affiliates!
Journeylite provides a safe and pleasant surgical service with pre and post surgical care with the best interests of the patient in mind.
I know where I am going… How about you? After all, we have nothing to lose but the pounds!
Dear Fedex… you are lower than UPS..
Shipment from Binny’s in Chicago.. finally ships after a 4 week wait.. they ship fedex so no Brown worries.. but there is a catch. Seems Fedex cannot understand that people have to work.
Yesterday I was home. I was in my kitchen just inches from the other side of the front door. The SOB did not knock, but he left the hangtag. I called.. twice.. first time was told that they would have someone bring my package out to me. It didn’t happen. I called back at 9. I was told.. sign the door tag and leave it.. the driver can take the package to the rental office. Today I get a notification that my delivery was attempted again. but I was no t home.. so they will try again tomorrow. This is complete bullshit in my book, I have paid for their service and I expect them to deliver my package when it can be delivered.
If the Gods are smiling on me the driver will come back after 5, I did leave a note that this is when I get home. I called again. I cant even redirect this shipment by calling the shipper as they would have to send it all the way back to Chitown to get a new label.
This … is bullshit.
For around 3 years now I have been watching the nail of my left big toe slowly start curving into a nice neat U shape. This is quite unique, and normally would not be a problem except that this kinda squashes the toe flesh into the middle of the U. This also causes the nail to cut into the end of the toe and causes infections.
Around a year ago my physician suggested that I go to a podiatrist about it. Well, I did last friday.
While the main reason for my visit was to check out bone spurs, we discussed the nail issue and the Doc suggested we do something about it then and there.
He gave me a couple numbing injections in my toe, we waited for it to work and he proceeded to pry and then lift the nail right off of my foot. It looks pretty funky today.. the toe itself is kinda white on the edges of the nail bed and the place that was once covered looks like it was in a bad freeway crash.
I guess once it heals I will be able to polish my toe!
Sometimes in life we are handed roses…
A few years ago I was suffering from terminal unemployment, but had landed a very prized interview at a very special place… NORAD. I was very nervous about the whole thing and was scared to death that I would blow the interview. I practiced interviewing with anyone that I could find.
The day before this event was to take place I woke up to horrible tooth pain. I looked in the mirror and saw a huge crack running down the middle of my front tooth. Unsure what had happened I started making calls, looking for temporary dental repair.
Every dentist I called was booked; no one could get me in until the next day. This was not good as I had the interview to go to and could not miss it but also couldn’t very well show up with a busted tooth.
Distressed, I walked into my neighborhood drug store. I had a friend that worked here and maybe she would be able to put me in touch with a solution to my problem. I found her in the store and started to explain my dilemma but she was laughing too hard to get through to her. Embarrassed I turned to walk away but she tapped me on the shoulder and handed me my salvation in , Dentemp OS
Dentemp is an over the counter temporary fix for cracked teeth, broken crowns and lost fillings. It takes about 30 minutes to put into place and have it set, but then no one knows that anything had happened to your tooth at all. Dentemp OS was created by a dentist to provide a temporary solution for people just like me (its even been FDA approved, so you don’t have to worry about side effects).
I was not only able to smile again, but I managed to ace that interview… all thanks to Dentemp!
Today I came home and changed one thing on my little blog here.. and zowie! the links work now!
I don’t know if you are aware dear readers… but I fought for well over 2 weeks to get this blog working correctly after I had upgraded to Wordpress 2/3/1. It seems my domain host does not support Permalinks in a customizable format. Had they posted something about this I would have been ok.. but they kept this an internal secret.
A Customizable permalink requires that you have a file called .htaccess. Well it seems that my host does not allow these little things.. so my blog was fallig flat on its little html each time someone clicked on any link that I had.
Finaly I reinstalled once more and disabled the Permalink plugin. Damned if the beast didnt work! its a damn pity that this cost me 2 years of posts that were important to me.
I have found one of the coolest adventures that an online blogger can do. I have discovered that I (and you too) can make money doing blog posts about things that we like and do anyway!
! Being someone that was in need to extra money this seemed the perfect solution to my problem.
Today I get to leave work early. This could be a nice thing except for the fact I have to go see my opthamologist, get my eyes dialated.. and then get my happy ass back home without killing myself.
For those that don’t know.. I am blessed with Glaucoma. This is a fun disorder.. in my case my eyes produce more fluid than the eye can drain out. so it builds up.. causes pressure on things (like my optic nerve). Recently it has also caused Spot.. my pet floater.
For those of you that have had ocular floaters, you know what a PITA they can be. For those with young healthy eyes.. Imagine you have a gnat flittering about a 1/2 inch in front of your eye. My spot is brown… just like a gnat. I dont know if the cause is just typical floater stuff in the fluid of the eye or if it is actually a dead spot on my optic nerve.. I hope my doctor can do something to remove this internal pest.. the damn thing is driving me crazy!
I Know you have been dying to know how my blogability has been going. Well, its like this:
I upgraded my wordpress.. Yahoo! puked on it… I deleted again. it vanished.. I updated yet again.. and so on , and so on..
I’m hoping that this is the last time I’m gonna do this!
