Even More Hell

Well, no one reads this blog, but I have to go back to the e.r. because my cellulitis is getting worse. And, like a dumb cunt, I didn’t go to see my primary care doctor because it seemed to be doing better… until about 6 this evening.

So, I may be staying in the hospital for a few days. Well, fuck.

Anne

Well, But Hell.

I have cellulitis in my left leg. Again. Maybe this time i won’t go septic and nearly die, like I did the last time I got cellulitis.

Sigh.

I Got My Upgraded Comp

So now I have to get used to the TERROR that is… Vista Home Premium.

Kitten Dreams

Remember when I said that my brother-in-law was a jerk, but a kind jerk? It is true- he and his wife (Rudy’s sister) have, through the years, willingly taken in ’stray cats’- kids who need help. Unofficial fostering. Currently, he and his family are taking care of a young gal who got kicked out of her house (she is in high school) because she didn’t get straight A’s.  So, rather than let her just live on the street (because her parent’s literally Do Not Care), they took her in.

This ties in to the blogtitle, no fear

This morning, the foster kid (Katie) and my niece (Jess) came back from a garage sale with… a kitten. a 7 week old kitten. For Katie. But when they across the street to their house, the 5 cats already living there (I know, I know) did not accept the kitten.

Fluffy is now romping on my desk as I type this, having already knocked a stack on CDs onto the floor. I filled a catbox with catdirt (acually, one of the kids did- it’s a 40 lb bag and WAY over my back pain threshold), and we bought some Purina Kitten Chow.

Katie has a kitten, but really, *I* have a kitten Until Katie moves out and finds a place that takes pets, I now own a fluffy kitty called Fluffy.

I love cats.

P.S. still working on rudy so i can get a hamster cage in my sewing(*)/computer room. hamsters rule.

*i could open my own fabric store- i have 2 huge bookcases FILLED with hundreds of square yards.

Oh, I Wish I Could Avoid Vista…

…but let me explain why I am doomed.

My brother-in-law is… an opinionated man. Like my father-in-law, except that whereas my father-in-law is a psychopathic personality, my BIL is merely a jerk. A kind jerk (he is willingly and gladly raising (with his wife and 2 kids) our 2 youngest children), but a jerk nonetheless. He suffers from a STRONG streak of “I Know Better Than You”. Especially when it comes to computers, since he also has his own computer parts/repair store.

So. *I* want WinXP. Not because I LIKE it (I miss Win98!!), but because I can LIVE with it. And it does do stuff better than Win98 can. And all the new stuff requires Win2k/Xp

When I told him I wanted a copy of WinXP, he said OK, then got me Vista instead.

I don’t have enough strength of personality to fight with him. He’s getting/gotten me the following things for my comp upgrade (which I just got back from taking my main comp to- I’m using a backup comp now) :

A 512 meg ATI video card; 250 gig 16meg cache serial HD; a 19″ 14xx*9xx (I can’t remember the numbers) max resolution flat screen monitor; and (grrr) Vista.

I think there was something else, but I can’t remember

Anyways, until late tomorrow afternoon/evening, my main comp (Top Dog, so named by my 11 year old son) is GONE. And I have to use my POS compaq until then.

Or my Playstation 3 to amuse myself. Or my Xbox 360. Or the Xbox. Or the PS2… or PS1… or my Dreamcast, or the N64, or the Atari 2600 flashback, or…

 P.S. Mama Snake, she is starting to write again. She like this.

How Have I Neglected Thee?

Let me count the ways, motherfucker.

I’ve been busy and stressed. Wandersmann, I haven’t been ignoring you- PROMISE. My back is hurting worse because of

stress and depression, my depression is worse because of stress and Rudy and money, and I’ve been… slipping mentally I

think.

Mostly it’s just I can feel myself getting flakey again… so I usually can’t tell if I am acting normally or not…

On the other hand, my brother-in-law is upgrading my comp for me… gonna get another hard drive, better video card, a new monitor and some other damned

thing that escapes me at this moment. Oh yeah, he’s also going to install The Devil as my OS…

Vista. Sigh.

Take care and see y’all again soon!

Anne

p.s. this post is formatted weird because ONCE AGAIN wordpress is acting up and just scrolling my text to the side instead

of going to the next line, so i have to manually hit return at the end of each line. and if i try to ’backspace’ to get rid of

the blank lines, it just trancates to the back end of the previous sentence with a huge line again. sigh.
