What in the World?

Checking In

Last week, I get a call first thing in the morning. They were going to come in and replace the furnace. The job took all day. When they were done, all of the fire alarms went off. It was fun. More changes are to come I assume. I know that one of the room mates has been smoking in the house. It is on the rules and he signed it. I haven't addressed it because I am exhausted. The new room mate has complained that he has been smoking in the house. I told him to knock it off. If I get another complaint, I will have to review the rules with him. There is also a rule to not touch the furnace, they mess with the furnace. I am seriously considering placing a code on it to lock them out. Today was a busy day. I didn't get anything done last week. So, I was playing catch up. Dad came over and helped me repair the fence. The tree in the back is bending the fence. I tried to rake the backyard and I feel like there is a bigger mess than last year. I have been hanging out with Athena. I'm taking baby steps to get back into a social life. My man visited us at the bar which was a little shocking because he doesn't like the bar. Maybe, just maybe everyone else will meet him. We shall see.

Never Gets Old

When It Rains it Pours

Within the past five months, I practically bought a new car. I had to get my water heater replaced. Around the same time the water heater was replaced, the modem for my Internet broke. Centurylink does not replace your modem for free even if you upgrade your service. Qwest used to do that. Now, I am renting a modem because I did not want to spend another $80. Then when I resolved that issue, the furnace broke. I have been up since 9:00 AM trying to get this fixed. Two guys from weatherization were here and then I waited for a few hours for another heating person. He said that the furnace needs to be replaced. I'm too scared to fix anything else because I think other crap will break. If I have to get anything gas related fixed again, it will be too soon.

Smooosh!

Last night, after four years, Alanis Morissette visited Idaho once again. I liked the fact that she was at the Knitting Factory because I could stand next to the stage. The concert was great because I still had my hearing after the show. The bad part was the fact that there is a bar and most of the audience were maniacs. All of the tall people wanted to be in the front of the audience while us shorter people kept on shuffling around to watch the concert. I was happy to see her again. It's been a rough few months.

Also This Month

The long awaited remake of Frankenweenie is coming up! I have the original version, but it is on a special edition of Nightmare Before Christmas. It stars Shelly Duvall, Daniel Stern, and that boy from Neverending Story Barret Oliver. I think that the original is really sweet. In case you are wondering, that is where I got Frank's name. His original name was Frankenstein. I changed his name to Frankenweenie.

Still Busy

Hopefully, this will not be a month where everything is happening. I should have everything done. Right now, I wait for a call for a follow up from last months ailment. I don't know if I am still sick. I want to get things done today. Frank needs to be groomed. Dino's home needs to be cleaned. I thought of a cool idea for his tank. I need something that will hang on the side of the tank and hold a platform for Dino to bask on. I have no idea where I will find something like that. I found a bigger tank for $175. I also need something to hold a turtle tank. I have been looking for a very sturdy coffee table. Very sturdy. I noticed a ton of cool stuff coming up, but I don't know if I will go. Art in the Bar is happening at the Knitting Factory this Saturday. It is going on til midnight; I might go after work. Alanis Morrisette is coming Monday and I got my ticket. Zombie tag is taking place downtown Boise on 10/27. Again, I have to work. I want to change my schedule so I can do things on the weekend. This was made virtually impossible. The schedule went completely out of control at work. I chose to work night because I can't stand getting up in the morning. It has come to the point that I am looking for a new job. I have asked to be able to do a task and I am being blatantly ignored. Needless to say, two times a week we are fucked. The science fiction story is coming along nice. I am barely where I want to be and it's about 30 pages already. This may take up two notebooks...we shall see. I am eliminating most of the games on Facebook. It is nothing but lag and more levels and more tasks that mean nothing. Do I get paid to complete these tasks, no. Do I have enough Internet speed to play them, no. Little by little, I delete them and get on with my life. I have things to do around the house. I have to take care of myself. I have to take care of my animals. I have to get a man in my life who is not a douche bag.I have to get my social life back. Yes, I am still having a hard time going out there and keeping friends or making friends.
