Crud

Broken. Everything is broken and falling apart.

First, I bought a new TV in April (ok, my dad gave it to me as a Mother's Day/Birthday present). I have been VERY happy with the new TV. I have shrugged off flat sceen, fancy, new TVs for years, but I finally gave in because I knew it would make P-Dub happier to watch TV in my room...or anywhere in my house. I only got a 22". It was $250 for a Phillips, and it was just too good to be true. In fact, we asked the sales person why it was only $250 when the Best Buy name brand, Dynex, was more. He couldn't give us an answer. Actually, I think he tried to give us some line about because it was brand new, energy efficient, and the economy was bad. Whatever, we took it and ran. Turns out they had marked it with the wrong price. P-Dub went back the next day and it was actually $350. But you get what you pay for! The damn thing is broken! It keeps flickering and then it has a big green line across it. And of course I can multi task all damn day at work, but the minute I need to do something at home or be organized, this damn ADHD won't let me do anything! (Trust me, I'm not using it as a cop out...my organizing and cleaning and whatever else skills get worse and worse and I can now see all the triggers and instances). So, I haven't taken the TV back to Best Buy, yet.

Sunday...the stupid dryer breaks. I had a load of towels in the dryer and ALL my work clothes in the washing machine. I have been hanging clothes on every piece of furniture, shower rack and whatever else you think of to get everything dry.

And...the TV in the living is breaking. It keeps flickering too. But only when there's a lot of movement in the room. Like if the radio is on in my room.

What have I done about all of it? Nothing so far.

Gabby has been at her dad's for two weeks and I've missed her like crazy. I picked her up today and took her to my parent's because she is now spending two weeks with them in AZ and CO. She looks so much older than two weeks ago. She looks like a junior higher. It makes me want to ball my eyes out. AND...have more babies.

This past weekend P-Dub and I went with my Carolyn and Scott to a driving range. I hit a couple of balls but my lower back was killing me, so I sat around with Carolyn drinking beers and letting the boys hit the damn balls.

I never give myself enough time here anymore and I never blog enough. I'm always cramming things into one damn post. Time for bed.

I'm confused. I thought you were on meds for your ADHD?
Confused about what?

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

FYI

Just so you know...my computer is sitting here, on the floor, next to me...at my parent's house!!! Woo Hoo! I've taken the first step in getting it fixed...but alas, there it sits...I'm not the only slacker in the family! Also, I turn 30 in less than 20 days...

End of Summer

Who knew that at 28 years of age I would be writing a post about how I spent my summer. Don't people usually stop talking about their summers after a certain age? Say like, 22? It probably wouldn't be such a big deal to me if I wasn't still a student who doesn't haven't to have a "career" year round. Well, here it is . . . the end of summer. I go back to work on Monday, and school starts on Wednesday. My days of sleeping in, going out, etc are over. I still get every weekend off when Gabby goes to her dad's, but we'll still be a lot more "scheduled" around here. End of summers when I was younger always felt weird because you were sad about the summer being over, but a little excited about going back to school, shopping for school supplies and clothes, thinking about if there'd be a new cute guy in class, getting to see your friends everyday. I have a whole section in my memory that is filed under "Summer". It's my favori...
