Saw this quote the other day on an animal adoption website. I really liked it due to the fact that my kitty died. Thoughtful is the word of the week apparently.
So!! Happy New Year Everyone!!! Where you safe? Are you happy? Did you make any resolutions? Have you broken them yet?
I have been doing my “New Year” cleaning the past two days. Trying to cleanse the surroundings so that I can better cleanse the soul. I worked all day yesterday on my house and today I started on work and my workspace. It is going well, with very few things in my way as I can be damned organized, but I am still only doing this so that I can feel cleaner and more balanced within myself. It’s like my own little brand of Feng Shui.
See, I have to do it so I feel less bad about ignoring that whole “lose weight” resolution I make and break every year. This year I think that Jeff is going to make us do it though, and we are cutting out all fast food except for Subway and Taco Bell and those are only once per month. We are also trying to not eat red meat so much anymore. More chicken and salads and stuff that is technically good for you until I get to it. I just don’t know how to make any vegetarian meals. I need Raevyn’s recipe for Tuna Casserole, I have been craving it for DAYS. Is eating fish veg? I guess not huh. Oh well, it’s better than pork and steak and other yummy things! Sort of…
Yeah I think I need to rant for a minute here. I like to go take those little BS quizzes on Quizilla every now and again and I know they have no bearing on what somebody is really like and whether or not I am who I think I am, but I want to rant about something a little more mundane than that. See I am assuming from all the really stupid ones available that these are mostly high school kids who are making these quizzy things. I will be damned if I haven’t seen one EVER that used good grammar or even had decent spelling skills. Now I know that when I was in school I was taught these things, so what the hell is up with that shit? If I use poor grammar now it is by bloody choice and by right dammit, but if you are a product and/or currently property of the US school system then you should be taught this stuff!! It’s elementary school. The differences between the "Theirs", "Theres" and "They’res" were drilled into my brain along with the "To’s" and the "It’s" and "Yours" and it is god damned irritating to see that no one else has suffered that kind of rote ingraining since I left high school 9 long years ago. Pet peeve my ass. I write like I talk now, and that is cool in here, but for Christ’s sake!
Breathe Dog, breathe…
I am sick. I can no longer avoid the reality of the sickness situation. I have always been that one person that could convince herself that sickness was a state of mind. A suggested state that your environment could create in your mind for the express purpose of making you want to call in sick to work. Not that I don’t want to do that anyway, ok, but the weird thing is this, I had no cold medicine so I just took an allergy sinus pill and I feel great but weird. Like sick but kinda ok with the world in general. Go allergy medicine!
Wow, I am totally raving on without a point or even a deeper meaning. I must need something to do. I will bid you all adieu then, and hope you are all well!

Just a footnote: I had to edit this entry as I realized after I posted it that I spelled "were" as "where" when I was ranting about how stupid kids are these days... and no it was not humbling, just merely annoying...
