>on my way home

>early, and I cannot believe how freaking crowded this train is! It is like everyone in the city is trying to leave. I decided to go ahead and get the I-pod since I have enough money for it. The money for it is coming out of my other account anyway. You know the one linked to my amazon account, amazon, the people who are sending me $20 for the books I sold, Yippee! Between that and the money I put in it every payday and the coins I deposited there is enough money.

I feel like I am doing my part for the economy.


Addio

>MRI results

>

So my doctor called. I was a little panicked, because I also got blood work in addition to the MRI and I was afraid he was calling to tell me that my cholesterol was 400 or something (it runs in my family), but it was about the MRI, my brain is fine, my sinuses are inflamed. Well, yeah duh, I could have told him that. As Em says, I was born with inflamed sinuses. So when I see him he is going to start me on an antibiotic. I called Em to tell her, and she says (I really love her) “I thought you were going to tell me you had a brain tumor and you couldn’t go to Manhattan with me!” Hey, if the terrorists aren’t going to stop her, a brain tumor’s not going to stop me!
Addio,

>They got shaved!

>

I haven’t seen any pictures, cause I am still at work, but Em said it was cool. The press didn’t show up so Tigger won’t be on TV, but he might be on the NYS DoH Website. I am going to check there in a minute. If he is, you can be sure I will be posting a link here when I get home.
It was raining this morning, so today has been a cold rainy day. When I got to work my jeans were damp on the back of my leg. I don’t have a clue how that happened. My asthma is also bothering me. I was a little late today, just couldn’t get moving, and then I had to stop and get milk for my oatmeal, tomorrow I have to get up on time and make the early train. Except Stitch will be driving me tomorrow so that might not work. Anyway, it was cold windy and gray when I went to lunch, it had stopped raining though, so it was a nice walk. I just had my yogurt and soup and now my tummy is full. The sun is now trying to break through the clouds and I wish I was outside.

There wasn’t an article in the Poughkeepsie Journal, but there were pictures, I would post a link but it will only be there for a short time. Tigger wasn’t in any of the picture. He filmed it and that is going up on You-Tube, I will be posting that link when it goes up and I find out the name of it.

>$2,000 plus for The American Cancer Society

>This is how much money the students at Beacon High raised in the month of November. This means that some of the male teachers are getting shaved. Yep, they promised. And one security guy said he would shave his head. Tomorrow they are having a ceremony where the check for $2,102.41 is going to be presented (I got the amount off the picture) and the press is going to be there and a bunch of important people. Tigger is one of the students that has been chosen to speak to the press. So Em took him shopping so he will look really good.

Yesterday, when I came upstairs for dinner he was standing in the dinning room and asked me if he smelled ‘pretty’, yes that is the word he used. Em had bought him some cologne. He had just dabbed it on so it wasn’t too heavy and it smelled nice.

>Lonely and blue

>I am feeling sad and neglected this morning, my friends are not talking to me. One friend I know why, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with me feeling lonely, even if her reason is a good one (and it is a good one). Another friend has just disappeared from my life, I don’t know why at all. Everyone once in a while she pops up with a message, and then is gone again. The rest of them I don’t know what is going on. I talk and they act like I didn’t say anything, or they give the credit to someone else. I mean that other person did say something, but it was the same thing I said. So why did they acknowledge her and just act like I wasn’t there? I am going to drive myself crazy with these questions. Time to find some new friends.

Normally when I am feeling like this, I talk to Cookie, but she is the friend with the very good reason for not talking to me. So I only have this blog to talk about it on.

>Good night.

>I am just making a quick post before I hit the sack. I spent a lot of time online today. Mostly on my book sites updating my libraries. Of course they are virtual libraries. List of books I want to read I have 395 on Shelfari and 385 on LibraryThing. Only 212 are to be read.

I requested a couple of books from the library one is for a Shelfari discussion group and I don’t remember the other.

Other than that, Gwen and I had a good time at the meeting. We got to talk to friends we rarely see and after we went to Panera for lunch. We each got one of the two things, right now I can’t remember what they are called, soup and half sandwich, different soup and different sandwich. We were thinking we could continue our fun at home, but D was home. So we just went to our rooms. I have only been back upstairs to have dinner, I was going to watch L&O:CI but D wanted the news on. So I have been watching TV in the basement and working on my computer.

>I am up

>and showered. Of course, Gwen was already up and dressed by the time I got up. I think she really wants to go to the meeting! Tee, Hee. We both know why, and she would positively kill me if she knew I was making this public! In a minute I have to get dressed but in that minute . . .

You see I have changed my template for this blog. I had to for the background. I decided since I like black, I am using it on my blogs. Black and purple. I had to change the color of the font so you could see it. And I widened the sidebar ’cause Sassy’s picture was cut off. What else? Oh I added a line break to the Subscribe to …. widget because it was cut off. Now I don’t want to go with the 3 column format. I like it the way it is now.

>Once Again

>I have stayed up too late. After not sleeping well last night and missing the book study this morning.

Em, Gwen and I went out today. She wanted her hair done. So Gwen and I dropped her off and went to Macy’s to make an appointment to get a makeover for Gwen. Yes, she has decided to start wearing makeup. Em put some on her last Wednesday and she liked how she looked. So she had her makeup done. Then she decided she needed a new top to go with her new look, and she picked out a red top. We are so happy, she looks so good in it. Then we went for lunch, she was so happy she paid for lunch. Unfortunately, I got another migraine, or sinus headache, anyway, I started feeling bad and nauseous and my sinuses were hurting and discharging dark brown mucus.

After we got home I didn’t do much else besides sit in my room and play with my blog. Well, I did lie down and sleep for a while.

Cookie sent me an e-mail with some sad news, very sad, but not unexpected. Now I have to go to bed. Gwen wants to go to Fishkill’s meeting tomorrow, to show off her new look to someone there.

>Reality

>Reality is just like a dream, you try to control it and you have no control, you try to guide it and it ends up taking you out,
The only break we get from reality is our dreams. They keep us sane, they keep us loving, they keep us living.
The breaks from dreaming are never as pleasant,
You can’t break away from it, no matter how hard you try, you can’t make it better, without giving up dignity, and the lovers of today rarely last til’ tomorrow.
But we will outlast them, we will break away from reality, and make a world full of peace, and care for it always,
What’s sad to realize is that it will never be real, no matter how hard we try, it can never come out of our head, filled with hopes and love, but still, no power to change this horrible world.
