Step Two

ahead full

Now that I have some help getting the stuff out of storage that will save $90/month. The next step, which I just finished was to cancel my subscription to WoW.

This message is being sent to confirm that all credit card information has been removed from the World of Warcraft account bleber, effectively cancelling its recurring subscription as of October 7, 2008 12:48 AM UTC. The account will not bill or renew any further unless new payment information (credit card or game card) is manually entered in.

I will get out of this hole. I will!

Help?

I need some help. I have some stuff I need to get out of a storage unit in Bellevue and into the condo on Madison. I can fit it all in my car but it would take a large number of trips I would like to avoid. An SUV with removable seats can probably do it in one trip.

Anyone? I can't offer much but my gratitude and some baked goods or other treats.

Flat tire on the road yesterday turns into $260 bill this morning. $260 I don't have.

I hurt and the more the day goes on the more hurts.

Screwed up and upset a dear friend.

Finally assigned an interesting project at work but I keep getting blocked by boring things that are more important.

Other things continue. At least they're not getting worse.

Just bit by the sharp edges of technology. Does a blood sacrifice make tech work?

If [info]hollyqueen and I had a child at the beginning of our relationship they would be old enough to legally drink this month. Gah!

I still love October though.

There Was a Time

These days are drifting through me
Like faces in the clouds
Memories lift me up
Stare me down
I open a window close the door
And watch the shadows cross the floor
Never talk too much about it

There was a time
When all of our dreams were spun like sunshine
Through a kaleidoscope
Lit the corners of our minds
There was a time

Love found us clear as diamonds
With eyes as bright as stars
Never thought that we'd
Fall that far
Our world was turning back around
And soon our feet would touch the ground
Never talked too much about it

There was a time
When all of our dreams were spun like sunshine
Through a kaleidoscope
Lit the corners of our minds
When I held her close on the day she left
And she wished me love and happiness
Now I wonder if I ever cross her mind
There was a time

Well I held her close on the day she left
She wished me love and happiness
Now I wonder if I ever cross her mind
Now I wonder if I ever cross her mind
Now I wonder if I ever cross her mind
There was a time

Downward Spirals

First the spiral... Logically I know that I'm liked, loved and actually quite popular. Emotionally I feel rejected and unwanted at the moment. I know that it's silly and random events caused plans to be canceled. I still can't shake the feeling though. Work continues to be a drain as I don't have anything interesting to keep me occupied during the day. I'm counting the days until my mini-vacation on the 17th (19 currently) and hope that the break will help to lift my mood.

Now some good... I've been looking into learning watch and clock repair as a hobby. I've found a few classes at a local college but I've missed them semester. Today I also found two online classes that teach the basics. The online classes are $50 and the kits cost about $380. I think I'll take the online ones to get started. They're less expensive and buying the parts and tools in a kit is easier, though less fun, than trying to find the individual tools.

While saving up the money for the big kit I want to look for some small kits to build. Just something to get my hands involved in building without breaking the bank. I can see the end of the debt and I don't want to derail that, but I need something to occupy some hours and TV and video games don't cut it at the moment.

So my GP thinks the spot is benign but wants me to go see a dermatologist to make sure.

The real good news is I'm down to 263.2 pounds. Wo0t! Watch me shrink!

I have a spot that I thought was a mole but I've been keeping an eye on it. Last time I checked it was at least double the size it used to be and has an irregular outline. So today I'm going to the doctor to have him check it out. Yeah... Skin cancer... That's what I need...

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

  • Sep. 14th, 2008 at 12:10 AM

People, do you understand me now,
If sometimes I feel a little mad
Don't you know no one alive can
always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem a little sad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

You know sometimes, I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Sometimes seems that all I have is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I get more
than my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do
I don't mean it

People, don't you know I'm only human
Don't you know I have faults like any one
But sometimes I find myself alone regretting
Some little thing; some foolish thing
that I have done,

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood
I'm just someone whose intentions are good
Don't let me be misunderstood,
Don't let me be misunderstood

Oh (sock it to me, sock it to me,
sock it to me, sock it to me)
A little respect (sock it to me, sock it to me,
sock it to me, sock it to me)
Whoa, babe (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)
I get tired (just a little bit)
Keep on tryin' (just a little bit)
You're runnin' out of foolin' (just a little bit)
And I ain't lyin' (just a little bit)
(re, re, re, re) 'spect
When you come home (re, re, re ,re)
Or you might walk in (respect, just a little bit)
And find out I'm gone (just a little bit)
I got to have (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)
