…WHEN I’M WORKING???

here people: i work for 7:00 am to 3:30pm UNLESS i have a doc’s appointment or chemo. then i nap. then if it’s a day that i do eat i make dinner. if not, i have a life (well, as much of a life as someone with s4ibc has).

and i keep the phone in my bedroom shut off - but the phone in the living room is on full-blast so i can hear it.

gotta go…

C’s friend S is having a fun little game on her blog. I’m playing along. So this is how it works….. The first 3 people to leave a comment on this (my) post will receive a hand made gift from etsy during this year. When and what will be a surprise. there’s a small catch. you knew there would be didn’t you? post this on your blog then come back and leave a comment, telling me you’re in. fun, huh? remember, only the first 3 comments receive the gift.

i’m doing this for C, but i can hardly wait! etsy here i come!

…k and i threw all of my heels away???

i had to buy a few new ones but it felt good.

why is fluff in the kosher aisle?

Filed under: Welcome to My World — me @ 4:42 pm

so i’m scampering down the aisles looking for fluff and trying to come in at under and hour - which is when the taxi drivers come in to use the wash room and buy junkfood - i guess. so i check out and, when asked if i found everything i recall how i didn’t find fluff for my latest recipe.  the nice guy chose both types of fluff - the plain kind and the strawberry kind - since he had no idea what sort i needed (and regardless of the fact the strawberry kind was half the size and three times the price). so i ended up with fluff for my recipe. fast-forward to two weeks ago, when i was so dead tired from chemo and the taxi driver being an hour late. i wandered down the kosher aisle and low and behold there it was!

but where’s it gonna be later?

i would have thought with the peanut butter. makes sense, right? no…it looks as though the fluff is going to stay right where it is - or move off to “wherever” there’s a shelf.

i lost the recipe anyway, so i don’t need the fluff.

i throw a lot away, because i lose something or something doesn’t taste right.

in other news, two very nice LDS Elders showed up. ‘didn’t matter that they were 15 or looked to be 15, they were Elders - and nice. they volunteered to take out my trash or do anything i wanted. i declined, but was grateful for them. they didn’t want anything from me - just to talk. we didn’t even talk god. maybe it was because early on i told them i wasn’t interested - i just wanted to live a while longer. i don’t know the reason - but they were nice.

finally, lots going on at work and - bom bom boooommmmmmmm - i have to find the lenovo. i *think* it’s at the fedex near cabelas.

UPDATE: i found the lenovo. it *was* where i though it was. and i mailed the mac. this won’t work, but that’s fine. he doesn’t read the blog - or twitter - or facebook. which male does? J? he does - but that’s all. anyway, i did find the lenovo, mailed the mac - but it won’t work.

C & E mailed presents. see the post below. again, thank you!!! you have no idea how happy you’ve made me. now C, what do i need to do?

i’m pigpen to the 110th power! i spent part of this early morning scratching. and scratching. and scratching. my legs this time. made a hell of a mess. but…

…i do wonder why fluff is in the kosher aisle.

i’ll be going to the QFC tomorrow. i’ll look - and ask.

chocolate tastes good…

…but i still can’t eat much of it (only two miniatures per day).

my ears itch…but this will pass (i have the cut on my knee to prove that).

i cannot force myself to eat save for every three days (and doing so requires me to take prilosec and results in severe heartburn) - but at least i can eat sometimes. and i do take vitamins.

i have a headache.

the taxi driver was an hour late.

i met a guy who’s also open source. we laughed about centOS.

i slept, off and on, from thursday evening til saturday evening. so much for a holiday.

i have a headache.

Hallmark…

…had the nerve, 2.5 years ago (but not seen in places i go), to issue “i’m sorry you have cancer” cards. last year, a gentleman wrote a book and included Hallmark’s blurb on why “I’m sorry you have cancer”.  just 6 or so months ago - just 6 months - one month after the review - the book came out in kindle.

to the guy who wrote the book “What Were They Thinking” (and you can either google him or pull him up on amazon, which has a great search engine): THANK YOU! nobody with cancer cares about those stupid cards - epecially those with Stage 4 cancer.

to the HALLMARK woman that wrote the cards: YOU IDIOT!!!!!!! tell HALLMARK, YOUR EMPLOYER, YOU HAVE MADE A HUGE MISTAKE!!!and get fired - which is what you deserve.

i don’t care about cards - especially those with no return address (which is ILLEGAL as of 11 september 2001). they got the card AND to break the law? anything that is hand-written with no return address goes in the trash. emails go in the trash - except if you’re a well-trusted friend, and then you might get a response in three or so weeks. send a note with the return address on it - and don’t send one of those “I’m sorry you have cancer”  HALLMARK cards.

i have to go to chemo now.
