So, we have four or so owls taking up residence in our yard. My mother and brother are awfully superstitious. They claim they're not, but they don't even like walking under ladders. And when I broke the mirror many years back, she said I should look out for bad luck. Of course, this is the same woman who believes a cross-shaped cloud is a blessing upon us all. Me? I walk under ladders, I don't get all freaked out if I see a black cat. I believe in good luck, but I don't believe in bad luck. I chalk it up to misfortune, which everyone has sooner or later.
Hell, I've discovered I have about four symptoms of diabetes; plus the ulnar nerves in both of my arms have been getting pinched or trapped, resulting in my hands going numb. Other than that, I'm aces. I finally found a website that has uploaded The Recollection Dissipation - Putlocker says they did, but it's not there, and it should have been on the 6th. Agh! Longest ten days ever!
Anyway, besides Sims 3 - which is going amazingly well - I've begun watching DVDs again. I think I'll add P.C. Cast's bigass books to the mix and see if I can keep myself busy all day. Maybe I can tire my eyes out enough to sleep and gain some kind of routine. I really want to get to Hayward one of these days...Of course, it really doesn't matter! I've decided that when I die, I want to be cremated and sprinkled there, so even I continue to sleep my life away, eventually I'll get there and never have to leave! So, let the good times roll.
Speaking of rolling - I saw an orange Chevrolet Corvette Z06 a few moments ago. I didn't think this crappy little city had those. Probably belongs to one of the rich folks up on the hills. I wish I could get a taste of that life. I found out (about ten long days ago) that Trump has a garage that can fit forty cars. Can you imagine? That has to be about as big as the mall! Except much, much less filled with people. (And thank goodness for that.)
I remember, a few days before Grandma died, she saw owls ... she really did panic ... I get nervous about them, too ...
ReplyDeleteIf I exercise too much, or too fast, parts of me go numb ... weird :p
Good luck with that TBBT episode, and enjoy your books and movies :)
Also, good luck with the lottery; I don't know if there's any other way to get rich :)
The lottery? Mom buys tickets, but never wins. Lorne and I think it's just a waste of money that could have gone on food, or laundry...
DeleteThanks, but so far it's not enough to keep me awake. I'm only up now because of all the noise Mom makes in the mornings, coupled with me finding four new bites. Now comes the fun of checking for more.
Try to pace yourself.
G. buys tickets too; sometimes we win $10 or $20, but we did win $100 once, right when we needed it, so it's not a total waste of time — but it usually isn't profitable; we probably spend $40 a week and only win small prizes two or three times a year. I understand his reasoning, though; if you don't buy the tickets, there's no chance of winning a lot, so sometimes it's better to take the chance :)
DeleteAre they spider-bites? *shudders* We've been finding webs and spiders here already ... blech!
The way you wrote 'Try to pace yourself' makes me think of the blunt way Amy (TBBT) talks :p
Sorry. I'm just frustrated lately. I'm not sure what they are. Based on how they look, I'd say mosquito, but they also look like they have two puncture holes.
DeleteYeah, that's Mom's reasoning, too. Says she doesn't buy them often, but she's been buying them more these days.
No worries, I get that; I've been frustrated and depressed lately, too — I feel like I'm up to my eyeballs in appointments, and I'm incredibly stressed.
DeleteAww, sorry to hear that! Have you tried After-Bite? I think I remember it working really well on my bites :)
Sorry to hear it. I never heard of After-Bite, but I think we should go looking for it just in case. Whenever Brian comes over we get fleas. I wish we could also stop seeing spiders when he's not here.
Delete...Gross, fleas?! I don't think I've ever known a person with those; I thought that was mostly a dogs and cats thing. Is it worse than lice?
DeleteYes, way worse. Brian got them from his dog, Lexie. Lice infect your head and jump from one person to the next. Fleas go all over the place and sometimes, their bites don't even go away. They're nearly impossible to kill. Mom vacuumed them up and put the vacuum away in storage. A year went by. She forgot which vacuum had the fleas and opened the wrong one, and we were infested all over again. The three of us went through that twice at Blueberry and once here; thankfully Mom and Lorne have way too much experience in dealing with it. We're going on three, four months clean now. Needless to say, as horrible as it sounds I really don't want any-thing to do with Brian until he gets rid of Lexie and cleans up. Wyatt has never given us fleas, thank goodness.
DeleteBlech! :(
DeleteWell, he wouldn't have to get rid of the dog to get rid of the fleas, I think; a special shampoo or something is supposed to get rid of them - but if he's done that and just not cleaned his house, I guess he might never be rid of them.
Yeah, I'm sure Jason and Bobbi are on top of all that stuff; they don't seem like people that let anything slide. I admire that :)
I admire that they take care of their pet, but personally I let a lot of stuff slide. I don't take life too seriously because I'm not trapped here; one day I'll be gone and I want to enjoy myself while I can.
DeleteTurns out he didn't get the fleas from Lexie; he got it from his cat. I didn't even know he had a cat.
Neither did I, but then, I keep forgetting he has a dog - I haven't seen him since early 2011, unless he was there when G. and I visited in 2012 and 2013 (I think he was, I just suck at remembering about people).
DeleteI wouldn't know. All I remember is walking around the neighborhood with Mom, Lorne, you, and Geoff, looking at Christmas lights - and vicious little Hermione running around in a ball thing, and Plop crawling on Lorne's shoulder.
Deletelol, that walk was fun!
DeleteAww, I miss those hamsters :(
I know Trevor was there for a while, and I'm 90% sure Brian and Leisa were there too; I could be wrong :p It was so long ago :(
It was fun! Sorry, though, that I brought them up.
DeleteYou did remind me of when last I saw Brian (he's been here since, but I didn't come out - it doesn't even look like he's washed his hair for two years, so I'm keeping my distance). I was on the couch, folding laundry, pretty much hidden behind the piles; and when he finally saw me there he freaked out. I was being quiet because I wanted to scare him, and it worked! :)
That's my trick! :D I always used to scare people - now I only have one to scare (and it's easy) :D
DeleteI don't often scare people. We lived on a ground level, so I thought I was quiet. Moved here and I found out how heavily I walk. I suppose I need to practice my grace.
DeleteI loved the floor at Blueberry; it felt so solid, and it made some nice sounds when walked on. :p
DeleteI don't remember the floor there ever making sounds. I miss that. Here, it makes noise all over, and it shakes if a car goes by. And some things here are stubborn. The oven, the bathroom door. If you do get to see this place before we have to up and move again, here's some advice; lock the bathroom door before you close it, otherwise it will not lock.
DeleteExcellent advice! :p
DeleteI hope you didn't learn that the hard way ... at Ptarmigan 1, when Mom and Dad had friends over for a house cleansing, a group of them walked into the bathroom while I was on the toilet. Luckily I was young enough (15 or 16) that it didn't even bother me :p
A group?! Yikes! No, it was just Mom who walked in on me. Luckily she was sauced and looking down, so she probably didn't see much and might not remember anyway. It's happened before, and not just with her. There was a time Grandma walked in on me, and Joe used to come in all the time and put his hands on me. I don't know why I can't relieve myself in peace. That room is the one room in the house where your privacy should be guaranteed.
