Cooler Day

Today was a much cooler day then yesterday. Man its chilly outside even though the sun is out. And the wind is blowing which makes it worse.

I guess hunting season has began. I hear gunshots off in the distance, mind you I live in the country not the city or ghetto.

Today was another busy day but it had slow times. But mostly I stayed busy. I got a lot done and finished paperwork in a rather timely manner. I could have done it quicker if I would have someone there running register though.

After work I went and saw Jen. Jen's store has Krispy Kreme which is one of my favorite. Jen bought me a glazed Pumpkin Pie, a icing filled chocolate doughnut and a bag of Sun Chips Garden Salsa flavored.

Now I am at home with my babies and we are outside and its freezing out here. The wind has a rather cold bite to it. I think I will try to stay busy this evening to keep warm.

So Jen finally slept last night. She said she went to bed at 12am which is unusual for her. She had been up with Restless Leg Syndrome for days and she found some pills for it that seem to be working thankfully.

I wrote 3 more chapters in my book. I am sure I will eventually add to them but I am doing pretty good ao far. I am just going through memories and adding what I can remember and add things I remember later. I still need to write in my journal entries from the past years in the appropriate chapters. And there is a lot of journal entries, things I had forgotten that I now remember. Some of things I guess I blocked out of my memory or so it seems. I was reading over them the other day, ita kind of interesting seeing what I thought back then and the emotions I had then. I had a lot of anger inside me and I seemed to cuss a lot which I still do but not as much as I did back then. One sentence had a cuss word every other word.

Busy Day

It was another busy at work. We were slammed today. After I left the gas prices went up. I can't remember what we are up to now. After work I pulled up in the driveway and Jen was waiting in her car for me so I got in with her and we left.

We went to Country Cooking and ate dinner. Jen treated me to dinner, she's so sweet. Then we went to one of my banks, Bank Of America and I got money out. Then we headed to Kmart in Waynesboro. I bought cat litter, cat food, a Spider-Man Christmas Ornament, a Spider-Man Beanie Hat and some other stuff. Then we went to Tractor Supply to get Rabbit Food. We stopped off at Dollar General in Fishersville and I bought all the packs of bones they had. They only had 5 packs and they have three bones in them each. Jen bought Bella a squeaky toy. After that we went to Food Lion to buy groceries and then came home.

We got home and brought the groceries and other stuff in and sat everything on the kitchen floor. Jen was putting the groceries away and I was bringing in the cat litter and Bella and Cinder went through the bags and got the bones and squeaky toy out haha.

Day 5

I am thankful for my dogs Bella and Cinder. They bring so much joy and happiness to my life. I can't imagine my life without them. They are my companions and they keep me company when Jen's not around or when she's sleeping. They are loyal and loving dogs. But they are more than dogs to me, they are my babies, my children. Jen brought Bella and Conder by my work today and that brightened my day and made it a lot better. I was so happy to see them. We spend a lot of time together. Cinder follows me around me the house its so cute. I love my babies. They love when I buy them bones and Bella gets all excited when we buy her squeaky toys. She loves her squeaky toys and carries her new toy around everywhere with her even outside lol. I am thankful Jen got Cinder for me for Christmas, best present ever

Update

The lawyers office called and gave me the number to a CT Lawyer with a file #. So I called him & he was with someone so hopefully he will call back today. The VA Clinic called and I have an appt on the 6th about my dizzy spells. Went into work to get coffee and ended up staying for awhile talking. The new girl is training, I think she will do fine. We are six dollars away from reaching twelve hundred dollars raised. I tried to motivate Cheryl into getting more donations. Jen is off today as well and on the couch sleeping. I am about to start on laundry. I was outside with Bella and Cinder but they wanted in. I am drinking Pumpkin Pie Spice Juva Roast Coffee and its good. I am going to clean house after I start laundry.

My Day So Far

I had lost my keys yesterday so my boss came in on her day off. Thankfully yesterday evening after I got home from work I found my keys so my boss didn't have to come in today. This morning I got to work and smoked a cigarette.l and then I got my coffee. Since I like to experiment with my coffee this morning I drank Pumpkin Pie Spice Juva Roast Coffee. The day went by fast but the donations raised weren't so good. I only raised Eight dollars and 66 cents in donations for Breast Cancer today. People kept saying no or saying that they already had donated so they weren't donating again. Stayed busy all day and got almost everything done. It was busy for a Sunday which is good for our business. Our gas for regular is two dollars and 98 cents which draws customers. And when you pay cash you save $.06. I cut up onions and put fresh relish out and then put the hot dogs out but I didn't sell any unless you count the one I bought. I ate lunch and took my medicine. Normally around lunch time I switch from hot coffee to iced cold coffee. I drink coffee in the morning and then in the afternoon I used to drink soda but I stopped drinking soda altogether so I drink sweet tea or iced coffee. Today I had Pumpkin Pie Spice Mocha Iced Coffee. It was delicious and I am still drinking it. Jen came by to see me at work which was nice. Got off work and went to the bank then went to Food Lion to order April and Cheryl's birthday cake. April's birthday is the 22nd and Cheryl's is the 23rd so I am throwing them a joint birthday party on the 22nd. After that I went home and Cinder and Bella were happy to see me. Now I am at home relaxing. I swept the kitchen, played Words With Friends and I think I am going to start a load of laundry. I almost caught up on laundry. Never again will I let laundry get behind and pile up again. Geesh. Chris texted me about Karen, I seem to be his go to person when it comes to Karen. I don't mind listening but sometimes I get annoyed. I don't much care for negativity because growing up I had a lot of negativity in my life. Since then I have tried to have a more positive outlook on life and a more positive attitude. I don't like being around negativity. Sometimes I don't feel like being bothered with others problems. I don't mind helping people but sometimes no matter what I say I can't help their situation. Distance supposedly makes the heart grow fonser or so they say but it seems like the distance between Chris and Karen kinda just makes it worse. But anyway I am sitting here watching Roseanne. The tv is still on TV Land lol. It has been on this channel for days. I haven't felt like changing the channel and I have been too distracted and busy to change it. Been staying busy at home with cleaning and doing laundry and taking care of my fur babies. Jen is here at home but she's sleeping because she has to work. She still isn't feeling good but she doesn't want to miss work. Connor is sitting here on my knee asleep lol. Connor is my orange and white kitten. He id a cutie pie and so playful. Cinder is laying here next to me sleeping. Bella must be in the bedroom with Jen sleeping. I think I will give them another bone. What they do is Cinder starts chewing on the bone and then Bella takes over on it. They share their bones, they love each other and get along great thankfully. I'm so glad tomorrow is Monday oh wait I am off tomorrow and completely forgot. Good thing I just rememered because I probably would've went into work. Lol. I believe I have done that before haha. Normally I have Tuesday and Wednesday off but here lately the days off have been different. I hate this weather, its been getting colder and colder here lately. I hate the cold. I like the hot weather way better than the cold. Jen is hot natured so she likes the cols weather and in the summer she freezes me with the air conditioner. But me, I love Summer because I like being hot. I don't mind 90 100 degree weather. I hate the cold and I hate the air conditioner. The air conditioner in my truck hasn't worked since I bought it but I never had it fixed cos I would never use it anyway.
So my mood has been pretty good lately, thankfully my bipolar hasn't acted up neither has my Schiophrenia but the paranoia is still there. Guess that part will never go away even if I do take my medicine. I just don't trust people but maybe that's just me being aware. I have had many people throughout my life give me plenty of reasons not to trust people. You really cant seem to trust people these days because of the way they are. Seems like some people are only after something or they screw you over or uae toy. That has happened to me so many times. So I have my guard up and have for awhile and I'm not letting it down. Anyways I have laundry to do now. I made a pledge to write a page every day in October so here's my page for today.

The rest of my day

Went and took Mom to look for two jobs. Then we went to Allstate so she could pay our life insurance. Then we went to Staunton to the vet. They said Zeus would have to be seen before giving him heartworm medicine so we didnt get that. Then we rode thru the park and then went to the new Dollar General in Staunton. Then we headed to Food Lion and Family Dollar. This afternoon we went to Starbucks and I got my Cafe Mocha and Veggie Breakfast Sandwich and mom got a dark roast coffee and a pumpkin pie muffin. Now im home with my dogs. They are happy to see me and even happier that mom got them bones. Lol. Jens at work even though she is still sick.

My Day So Far

Had a good day but my mouth is still hurting. I had the day off but went into work to do paperwork. Then I came to my parents house for a bit and worked on my online courses Im taking. Then I went and met up with my boss April and we got tattoos together. I got my poetry tattoo I wanted. My tattoos say a lot about me and who I am.
At my parents for now then off to my house I go. I bet my dogs are missing me right now. Jen is home because she has to work 3rd shift and she is sick. Man I hope she doesn't get me sick. That's all I need is to be sick and have my mouth be in pain all at the same time. I hope she took the Coriceden and gets better because I am not trying to get sick. Plus if I get sick then I will probably get my coworkers sick and it will be like last year where we all spread it back and forth. Not a fun thing at all. I hate being in pain and being sick. I went to Starbucks and got me my Cafe Mocha with whipped cream. Man it was good. So far today has been a good day. Kind of a lazy day because its raining outside and has been all day since I woke up this morning so I am just relaxing today. I did work some on my 2 online courses that I am taking. I am taking an IT Skills Course and a Web Design Course online. I recently completed my course on Google's Blogger. I completed the course and can get a certificate for completing it but you have to pay for it and I have to wait until I have the money for it. I love the feeling of completing something, it feels so good. My mood has been good lately not up and down like it was before. So this week has been an up kind of week thankfully. I don't like it when my Bipolar is down, I feel miserable then. Thankfully this week has been a good one. I just hope next week is as good. I don't like the low points of my Bipolar Disorder. I hope everyone has a great rest of the day and a great rest of the weekend. I have to work tomorrow but with this weather here lately raining everyday I have a feeling we're going to be slow tomorrow at work. Sunday is slow anyway but with the rain it makes people not want to come out of the house. Of course I will have my usual people traveling down the interstate and my regulars. Oh well if its slow I can get stuff done. Man my mouth hurts and smoking probably isn't helping it get better. I need to quit smoking but its so hard. I stopped smoking for 2 weeks then started again. I kind of wished I had never started again. I'd have so much money if I didn't smoke. Oh well. So the food stamp machine at work wasn't working. A customer couldn't get what she wanted because her card wasn't working. We thought it was because of the government shutdown but apparently there was a glitch in the system and that's why it wasn't working. This whole government shutdown has gotten crazy. I hope the people in Congress and the White House get their shit together and get the government back up and running because this has caused a lot of problems. You can't even visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park now because of the shutdown. The campers there were told to leave because of the shutdown. Now people are going to miss the changing of the colors on the leaves and they will miss the beauty in the parks and the animals. The Park Rangers were furloughed, whatever that means. I just know that I hope the government wakes up and gets shit together because things are starting to get ridiculous.
My dad is watching a football game on tv and a football game on his tablet, lol he is multi tasking. I think he is watching James Madison University play which is rare because they hardly ever put the JMU games on tv. I guess they aren't that popular enough to show the game on tv. However one time they beat the Hokies and that was epic. That made them more popular I suppose because the Hokies are a good team and well everyone or almost everyone in Virginia is a Hokies fan. Not me though, I am a Tennessee Volunteers fan. I like all Tennessee Vols sports. Vols football, Vols Soccer, Vols Softball. I am a huge Tennessee Vols fan and so is my dad. My dad grew up in Townsend, TN and I grew up there when I was a kid. Well I am sitting here rambling on, time to get up I guess and go smoke a cigarette then head home shortly. Wow I guess the lack of someone to talk to makes me write more. haha. Have a great day everyone and enjoy the weekend while it lasts.

Randomness

Above is my Cinder Bean. She is my baby, she is Beagle and Basset Hound mix. I love that dog so much, she is like my child. She does everything with me, almost everything. She is such a good dog too.

Above is Bella Bean, she is my Cocker Spaniel. She is so adorable. She went to the vet yesterday and had the tick on her head checked out. They gave me ointment to put on her head. I have to put it on there 3 to 4 times a day. They said it would look bad but it would go away as long as I put that ointment on her head. She is darling, she is also like my child.

I'm Assistant Manager at the Shell Station. I love my job, it is fun and we raise money for a lot of different charities. This month we are raising money for Breast Cancer Awareness. So far I have raised over $200 and hope to raise more then that.

This is me at Germanfest in Toms Brook, VA. I was drinking a Yuengling Oktoberfest beer (bier). I had a lot of fun. Karen my best friend went with me. Karen took this photo of me. It was a little cold in the morning but as the sun came out it got warmer. We didn't stay all day though but we had lots of fun.

This was taken last June. I was standing in front of our hotel room in Virginia Beach. We went to the beach for Jen's birthday. I love my Bob Marley socks, I got them at the skate shop behind the hotel.

This is me in my Fedora. I bought it at a Costume shop. I want a real Fedora someday. And I bought a Lederhosen and plan on buying a real one which cost way more then what I paid for mine. I like the leather ones better but I just got a Lederhosen Halloween Costume.

This is me in 2007 with a shaved head. I was riding in the car. I used to shave my head all the time. The first time I shaved my head was when I was in the Army. I shaved it after that many times. I haven't shaved it in awhile but I don't plan on doing it anytime soon because its going to start getting cold here soon. Actually it has already started getting cold.

This is a photo of me. I was editing it to look like the Scarface picture. It looks similar.

Bella's Visit to the Vet

Going to bed soon. Im tired and my mouth still hurts. Took Bella to the vet & everyone kept saying how beautiful she was, oh what a gorgeous dog, oh shes so adorable etc. lol. Mind you I gave her a haircut and they still said all that. The vet tech commented on how calm and well behaved she was. She said most cockers are trying to tear the walls down but not bella. She did good at the vet and was happy to go for a ride. She wagged ger tail and chased the windshield wipers lol.

Bella's Vet Appointment

Brlla's appt went fine. She was nervous but a good pup. They gave her medicine which I have to rub on her head 3 to 4 times a day. They said if it doesnt get better to bring her back.

Bella's Appt Today

Bella has an appointment today for the tick on her head. I had used Vaseline to try to get it out but it wouldnt come out so hopefully they can get it out. I have full confidence in them with my babies. They are a great place unlike the Verona Emergency Vet. I highly recommend the Augusta Valley Animal Hospital. I do not recommend the Verona Emergency Vet. I dont like the way they act so uncaring. I havent been there in awhile so maybe things have changed.

Bella

Tomorrow Beela has an appointment with vet. Last night I noticed a tick on her and tried to get it out but couldn't. She has a little knot on her head now. After that I trimmed her for an hour and checke to see if she had anymore but she didn't thankfully.
