One Problem Gone

      My earphones are falling apart. The wire next to the earbud is showing. On top of it, I think they did some internal damage. I'm not a doctor, but now I can't even start to put them in without it being really painful.
      So, today - technically on the 24th (I really need to go to bed) - I went out and fixed it. I bought this headset with earmuffs. They are so amazing! I've never heard so many things before! There are sounds in my games I didn't know were there. I hear more notes in the music I play; and the volume is so loud that I can hear it from the living room, even though by that time they were already plugged in! I had to turn it down just so I could focus on my multitasking...And the Sim voices were horribly loud. I kept forgetting I could change the volume of that and I just kept zooming out. And when their damn phone rang I almost dented the roof with my head!
      We also hit Superstore to go grocery shopping. I swear, they were playing the Shrek soundtrack CD, because they played two songs used in Shrek 4Ever After. I wouldn't be surprised if they had been playing the other songs in the franchise, too.
      We got some Reese Puffs cereal and more blueberry muffins (but we got those at least a day sooner than the other stuff). I had three today alone, and one yesterday. I really need to slow down! But they're so good. They're healthy, so I don't feel bloated; they're sweet, so my craving for chocolate is gone when I eat one; and they're mild, so they don't hurt my teeth. Plus there's no preparation involved. I dieted on them when I was sick; but now I'm enjoying them while I'm healthy! It sure is good to feel good. And to think, I never had to go to the doctor. Quite a few years ago, I found something better! Tylenol, except liquefied. It cures my bronchitis within a week each time!
      And my allergies are once again messing with me. Now I'm allergic to milkshakes, but not ice cream. I've also developed an intolerance to potatoes...Who knew? Cheese has begun bothering me again, though for a week in the least it was the only thing that didn't. I can't eat the potatoes, and I can't eat the pizza my brother made. I even lost interest in writing down the recipe. (Yes, I need to write down the recipe for pizza. I know you need fruit and dough, but I need the instructions too, because I'm a hazard in the kitchen without them. So, y'know, get over it.)
      And, let's see. What else in my life is so interesting you'll be holding your breath? Gee. What else? Well...I've made no progress whatsoever with my piano, though not for lack of trying. And...I can't figure out my Ipod or MP3 player, even though my brother gave me the simplest directions (that's a whole other kind of recipe).
      And, well, that must be it, because I'm boring myself. Book's at a dead end. Quite literally. I killed off two people and another character will soon die. I just need to figure out how to write about a war that took place in the time of my great-great-great-great grandparents. I can write about soldiers, no problem. Guns are firing, people are dying, soldiers are carrying half-alive soldiers back to base to fix them up, people are going on leave, blah blah blah. Add a sun here, a rainfall here, a fall in the mud there, and you've got yourself a story. But a war before artillery, before electricity? Back when people traded cattle for farmland? I've got my work cut out for me. And I still have 340-some pages or so before I reach my goal.
      But, at least I've had about sixteen climaxes in my book. It's gotta be interesting, y'know? Too bad I have goals and rules for my hobbies. It makes them tough. But it'll be one hell of a day when I can achieve them! I'll probably go running down the street in my shoes and pajamas at maybe five PM yelling "Whooooooo!" all the way down the road. Grabbing people by the collars of their shirts. "Hey pal, guess what?" Maybe I ought to rub ketchup on my clothes. "Guess what I just finished doing? Hahaha! I might do it again...I just need to plan ahead!"
      Ooh boy, clearly my interminable inertia is screwin' with me. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. 'Night all.
