Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

**Zhaylin** · 06-29-2014 08:42 AM

Yeah, Macs take some getting used to if you've never used one before. Glad your first week went well

Athylus, autopilot... exactly. I even drive on autopilot a lot of the time

Happy to hear you stepped out of your comfort zone (?). Sounds like you really brightened her day

Oneiroer, enjoy your new machine!!

My rant is that my walk this morning took an hour for 2 miles. Good grief! But tonight was spooky. The dog was reserved and kept stopping for sounds.. she made a chittering whine at one point. We stopped at the tracks for water and when we turned to head back, the chain fence at the Propane place (across the street) rattled- which spooked me. I was glad I chose to walk on the wrong side of the road (there's always bunny's there that the dog wants to chase lol). If I had been next to the fence when it rattled I might've wet myself

It was also muggier than usual, so we stopped for 3 water breaks instead of the one we usually take.
The dog didn't seem to relax until we could see the driveway coming home. I don't know what was wrong about this morning but it felt completely off. But we did it

A rave is that hubby and I did go out to eat. We've not been to this particular restaurant for a year or so. It was still as amazing as ever. But it was packed at 8:30PM. It's a very echo-y place so I was very glad hubby brought his earplugs (he can't stand sounds). He called my walks foolish so maybe he got in my head and that's why this morning felt so wrong.

Earlier, I bought a flashing light that clips on to the dogs collar. It's extremely faint and when she wears her leash, it's at her back.. but maybe it was enough to make her feel out of sorts. Who knows...

I think I'll head to bed early today...
Goodnight, DV.

**EDIT**
Well, scratch that. My iPad has been crashing games for the last couple of days. I'm pretty patient about that sort of thing, so it didn't really bother me. Last night however, even I could no longer ignore it. I backed everything up, then noticed it was syncing over 1k photos onto my iPad

I couldn't delete the photos using the trash can, so I looked it up, deselected the folders, re-synced, problem solved. I deleted a bunch of stuff, still kept crashing.

So now, I'm restoring it *rage* iTunes BETTER have a copy of all the files I've written and my saved games

Technology is such a bear when it fails us lol
No I think I'm too worked up to sleep, but I'll try...

**Anju** · 06-29-2014 02:32 PM

I spent 2 days in bed crying my eyes out for no specific reason. And it didnt even make me feel better. Total waste of a weekend.

**TwoCrystalCups** · 06-29-2014 11:48 PM

It's sooo hard to be online when your ex is still stalking you.....time to make adjustments and change my habits and name so i can fall off the face of the "internet" to be known as my true ID. Life sucks yep but i will get by.

**Narwhal** · 06-30-2014 12:14 AM

I can't stand my hair anymore this summer!!!! It's sticks to the back of my neck! I'm just gonna chop it off!!!...in a stylish fashion of course, maybe dye it lime green again or like dark green I don't know.

**Zhaylin** · 06-30-2014 03:10 AM

Anju. You're probably just feeling overwhelmed because of all the changes you've been going through. A good cry (even a weekend cry!) can be very beneficial just to release that built up stress. I know what you mean, though. I hate crying too. Just keep on keeping on. It'll be okay

Hathor. Will you be disappearing from here? It sucks that he can't let you go!

Narwhal

Must be something in the air (yeah, the heat and humidity

) I chopped off my ponytail last night. Now the back of my hair falls in a dozen different layers

I'd get another buzz cut if my hubby wouldn't spaz. I'll probably have a pro do something with it soon though. Have to look presentable when we go to California later next month.

My rant is that I'm sleepy. I slept for 9 hours but it was fitfull. I heard my daughter scream and woke up (to silence); I felt my leg slice open when I moved it against the wall mirror against my bed and I woke to nothing at all

... I woke to lots of sounds and sensations that were nothing more than figments of my imagination

We're supposed to get scattered thunderstorms later so I don't know if I'll be able to take my walk yet

I've come to REALLY love my nightly strolls.

A rave is that I restored my iPad successfully... after much agrivation. iTunes couldn't detect my iPad (several times) for the restore. I was about to give up when I thought to turn the USB upside down (it can be plugged in either way and there's no marking to say if either's preferred). That did it. And now it's not crashing any more *whew* iTunes ALSO saved all my game files and documents

If I lost my documents I might've thrown it out a window

Exactly

, it's usually just dry heat where I live but lately it's been feeling super humid. Last night I cut my sisters hair nearly to a buzz cut and she's been going on about how better it feels so that's what has been tempting me to

If you just buzzed it off he'd only spaz a few hours tops, but you'd get a whole summer of follicle freedom

Yikes, that sounds horrible. Man hope your nights get better

And about the itunes, I don't have it but my sister and cousin are always complaining about it, sounds like a hassle.

**Rozollo** · 06-30-2014 06:02 AM

Got back from my trip yesterday. Recovered all day from the lack of sleep. Tonight, I drank a LOT of shots to celebrate a friend's birthday who normally doesn't get to celebrate. I will hate myself tomorrow.

**Lumenia** · 06-30-2014 07:13 AM

Why is there not a giant pile of mozzarella sticks in front of me? Why?! I don't care if that book calls them "weapons of mass destruction"! They are deep-fried, cheesy deliciousness and I want them!! *sigh* I'm really hungry....

Restraining order?

**Zhaylin** · 06-30-2014 08:29 AM

Not much can be done about on-line stalking, though, right?

Narwhal... hubby told me if I buzzed my hair, I'd have to stay home when he went to California... hey, that gives me an idea

Nah. I try to be nice most of the time

Lumenia, gee thanks... now I want some too

My rave is that the weather was clear and we took our walk

We walked 3 1/2 miles in about 2 hours. My toes feel broken lol. Stupid long middle toe. We actually passed two other walkers as we started out tonight. They were coming back from Walmart and were on the opposite side of the road. My dog growled and barked up a storm. Coming home, we practically trotted the last 1/2 mile. She was exceptionally excited about something and pulled me as she never has before. And I now know it was rabbits that rattled the fence yesterday. They were out in abundance tonight and kept running through the links to flee, which caused the same noise.
I guess it's the rain that's moving in but the weather was strange on the return trip. It was muggy, as always, then BAM!- I'd walk through a very cold spot.

In any case, I am very glad to be home. Very tired...
Now I'm going to eat the rest of my Arby's King's Hawaiian BLT. So good......

**Narwhal** · 06-30-2014 10:06 AM

Narwhal... hubby told me if I buzzed my hair, I'd have to stay home when he went to California... hey, that gives me an idea Nah. I try to be nice most of the time

That's a crazy ultimatum. You have an idea like buzzing your hair off once you get to California?

Loopholes!

**Zhaylin** · 06-30-2014 12:07 PM

hehe, no. I hate to travel. It would be a great way to stay home

**Original Poster** · 06-30-2014 12:17 PM

California sucks right now anyways what with the drought and the heat wave and everything.

Yeh lol I get that all the time as well, so annoying

**sefalik** · 06-30-2014 03:32 PM

My hair is long and glorious... does not bother me in the heat though. I usually tie it back when I'm out working in the heat, so I hardly even notice it then.

I've been really liking waking up around 3am, sitting back and having a good breakfast while it's still dark. Then getting out to do whatever I need to do right as the sun is rising. Kinda anti-social hours, since I've been going to bed around 7-8pm. But there are weekend shifts where I work that are kinda like that... 4am - 2pm, four days a week. I think that'd be sweet. I'd have off Mon/Tues/Wed I think.

Zhaylin, it's a horrible feeling, isn't it?

**Zhaylin** · 06-30-2014 06:15 PM

Sefalik, I'm jealous. I always keep my hair pulled back and it still gets on my last nerve. It doesn't help that my bangs are as long as the back of my hair. It always tickles the sides of my face which I cannot tolerate.

VERY horrible, Lumenia

Especially now. I feel half starved to death lol... but I'm heading back to sleep after this post.

I had more DJ worthy dreams that I had to record. There were too many false wakings!!! My dog woke me up to go outside so I took the opportunity to record them.
Stilll so sleepy

My rant is that I kept waking to whiffs of cat piss. Is it real or just another manifestation of my false wakings? I'll find out soon enough when I lay back down. The kittens run into my room every time someone opens my door. They go right under my bed until we can coax them out to kick them out. I am going to be pissed (yeah, throw a tomato at me

) if they've been peeing in my room.

There's also a single housefly buzzing about and landing on my toe when I'm trying to sleep. I cannot sleep well with my feet covered lol, which may be another contributor to my strange wakings.

Oh well, going back to sleep.......

I solve that by just wearing earmuffs.

Where I work now there are some fans at the machines. Every time I'd walk passed it would blow little strands of hair at my face. So I just started wearing earmuffs instead of earplugs. So... yea, just wear earmuffs all the time. I guess that's probably not convenient.

**Narwhal** · 06-30-2014 07:11 PM

hehe, no. I hate to travel. It would be a great way to stay home

Oh lol that's true, two pros, one con. Staying home and no bothersome hairs. But hubby not too pleased

Yeh lol I get that all the time as well, so annoying

Then we should all just shave our heads, this is probably hindering our dreaming

My hair is long and glorious... does not bother me in the heat though. I usually tie it back when I'm out working in the heat, so I hardly even notice it then.

My hair is halfway to long and glorious, but I can't have the luxury of tieing it up. I have a thing about ponytails these days. I was a tomboy when I was a kid so I had a ponytail every single day and everyone in my family bitched and moaned about me wearing my hair down instead of a pony tail, so one day I snapped and chopped it off so they couldn't ask me to wear it down. But then it grew back and I never put it in a pony tail again and now they tell me to put it in a pony tail!!!

I mean who really cares about the switching it up of someone else's fricken hair??

........wait...I don't know why I ranted about that

**Zhaylin** · 07-01-2014 08:07 AM

I've actually been thinking about some sort of earmuff lately, Sefalik. I usually wear bandannas but it's been too hot for them. But even slightly cool air will give me an earache. I never thought of using earmuffs to keep my hair from tickling my face

Why would people want you to keep your hair in a ponytail, Narwhal? That's so strange to me because everyone used to nag me about doing the opposite

My rave is that I've been having lots of great dreams for a change.
My rant is that there will be no walk today. I just woke up from an almost 3 hour nap. My stomach feels like I've been doing lots of situps. It's very sore for no reason at all and my toes are still killing me. I'm going to take today off

2 other rants is 1) none of my cleros are working 2) and neither is my fruitfly trap.
Smoker Friendly doesn't open until nearly noon... as for the fruitfly trap, I need to find something other than plastic wrap. Even though I poked holes in the wrap, it seems to close up again and though the flies are on top of the banana peel under the wrap, they can't get to it.
Grrr...

Oh yeah... the cat pee smell is likely coming from the clothes hanging up in my room. It's so muggy in here that most of the clothes have not dried even 2 days after hanging them. Now I have to re-wash them *pulls out hair*

**~~DeletePlease~~** · 07-01-2014 08:49 AM

I've been feeling hypomanic for a few days now so I went for a jog earlier this evening to try and burn off some of the extra energy... I realized I was walking way too fast but I figured it wasn't a big deal, so I kept at it for like 20 minutes. As soon as I got home, I got mad as fuck (I'd been irritable all day) and vomited. I haven't thrown up since I was a toddler, and now my record is ruined.

Zeus must be testing me. >:T

**Zhaylin** · 07-01-2014 05:29 PM

Gavin. That sucks! Can't remember... did you start any meds? If your hypomania continues or worsens, be sure to see your p-doc ASAP. You could always be "high on life"

but it's better to be safe than sorry.

I ruined my record too. I had a cigarette this morning. It tasted like crap though and I don't plan on having another.
I also slept for friggin ever yesterday, but it was very broken up (3 hours here, 6 hours there, tossing and turning in between). I got 10 hours all in all even though I started the process at 11:30 last night. Gah!
There's also 2 things on my chin that are annoying me half to death. They're on the underside and I think they're cysts that have surfaced. They're tiny little things, feel like bruises and I just can't leave them alone like the last cyst I had. I took silver nitrate to the last one and it went away. I have no more sticks

so I tried heating a paperclip and using it. Didn't work. Why the heck not?! Next, I'll lance the little devils.

I need to get my butt to Smoker Friendly and also stop by the windshield place and finally make an appointment.
In an hour though...must find food first...

**Antartica** · 07-01-2014 08:18 PM

I hate global warming.he he he hee

I don't know, but all I know is now I say to them "I'm not your Barbie" in a sassy voice then snap my fingers and walk away

**Zhaylin** · 07-02-2014 02:00 AM

haha, that's great, Narwhal

Welcome, Antartica!

My rant is that I've still been sleeping WAY more than usual. Maybe I'm getting sick? Maybe those cysts are a clue? Maybe not

I think I successfully killed one of them at any rate. Stupid cysts. Why y'all like my chin so much?

My daughter got high with a friend today

(Off our property). She seemed completely okay but I told the guy to be careful going home. He looks like he's dying. He's way too skinny and seemed drunk. My daughter says he's always a bit of a space cadet and scrawny. He looked really unwell, though.

A rave is that I'm finally getting my windshield replaced on Thursday
