Did you notice?

I crossposted the first few entries from my online journal for the November journal writing month thing.

Then I got bored.

Meh. I do that. The bored part, that is.

Here are a few random things worth mentioning from the last two weeks:

I smell kinda citrusy.

Apparently, Axe makes a bodyspray/odorant in the lime flavor that I like as a body wash. Trying it. I duno if I want to smell THIS limey.
I’ll have to find a chick and get an opinion.

My mother has informed me she doesnt like my usual leathery spicy smell. Mostly after i drenched my brother in it.
It was an improvement. Normally, he’s drenched in teen-boy-sparkly body sprays that his retarded friends give him.

No, really, they’re retarded.

Well some of them.

Others are physically disabled, rather then mentally.

Um.
My life is currently boring.
I’m in Albuquerque.
I have cheddar bratwurst.
I rented “Catch me if you can” and “the taking of pelham 123″
I watched the first one.
I think i’m going to bed now, and i’ll watch the second one when i wake up.
I went to walmart.
I cleaned my bathroom.
I bought all the grape powerade zero they had.
Yeah.
My life is boring.
I had tuna mac and cheese for breakfast.
Yes, yes yes. I know. I’m a single guy living alone, what did you expect?
At least i didnt wash it down with beer.
Speaking of washing, i need to go wash the salt off the top of the jeep.
Someone knocked on my door when i poured a mouthful of sprinkles in my mouth… i hid the bowl in the couch.
I miss working EMS full time. I actually got excited for a minor trauma last night (Girl went off the road and hit a tree. She was ok, she walked to her dad’s house 1/2 mile away and called 911)
I need to check weather reports down in El Paso next week.
I have a strange craving for soft, warm, chocolate chip cookies.
With sprinkles.
I need to go brush my teeth now.
I’m getting annoyed that the check from the Denver company is STILL not here. I’m giving them till the end of the week, and i’ll have a corporate attorney send them a strongly worded letter, telling them i’ll haul their asses into court down here and make them pay a crapload of additional charges.
The lawyer has to pay their keep somehow, right?

Ha. My email worked. They claim that their end client was slow in paying them, however, my check should be processed/mailed, and i should get it soon.
Lets see how true that is.

Time to go wash the truck now.
I kinda want to go spend some time in the mountains, i may go do that now.
Wish i had someone to go with me though.

I spent most of my day flashing POS terminals at Arby’s.
Oh, and an hour at the CGC looking at a broken computer and doing some random things they needed.
Its a good thing its winter. I need to be wearing long sleeve shirts.
The xanhomas on my arm are really bad, especially on the right arm.
They’re even clustering up around the elbow, which really sucks, because imagine how much pressure you put on your elbow on a regular basis.

I’ve decided that i’m sick and tired of living with the pain.
No, not the emotional pain. I cant get rid of that with a pill.
However, the sheer amount of physical pain i’m in on a regular basis has gotten to be unbearable. Im fed up with laying in bed all night, trying to close my eyes, trying to breathe deeply, trying to ignore the overall soreness from head to toe, especially trying not to wince or cry out whenever i brush my elbow against something, or hit my knee on something.

I’m finally going to listen to my doctor, my dad, and my friends, who have said that I should start taking something when the pain is at its worst.

I refuse still to take the hard stuff that i have scripts for. No vicodin or percocets, because dispite the pain that i have, i refuse to take anything that addictive long term. I’m NOT getting hooked on pills. And I know, you cant get addicted if you’re using them for their intended purpose, but I refuse to take the chance.

I had my doctor write me a script for a less powerful, synthetic narcotic, and i’m trying to stick to the minimum dose, and not take it unless i absolutely need it.

The last two nights, not only did i take twice the dose that i should have, but the pain still broke thru it a few times… plus, with that high of a dose, theres other side effects… dizzyness, the feeling of being high, light headedness, anxiety, and i just couldnt sleep at all last night.

You know what I need, more then I need pain pills?

I need someone to scratch my back and put me to sleep, a warm body to curl up next to.

I found a webcomic i like.
I read A LOT of it last night, after taking pain pills, and it was pretty awesome.
It rather reminded me of my life.
I was hoping it was still awesome today before the meds, and it was.
I finished reading all of it thru the most recent one today, and now i want MOAR.
Its called Questionable Content

Its funny.

I lol’d.
The plan was to go to El Paso today.
I had one of my part timer employees cover the Children’s Grief Center job I had planned for monday, and left a message with the mail box lady to forward the check I was expecting.

I fell asleep last night around 2, and got up today around noon. Made food, watched an episode of COPS, then an episode of Emergency!. My joints were all swollen and painful, so I took a Motrin for the swelling, and a Tramadol for the pain, and lay down on the couch… and next thing I know, sirens were waking me up around 6 pm.
I could leave now, but i’d get in around 10 or 11, and I dont really want to drive during the night time, especially with the cold weather and the wind. I’ll leave tomorrow during the daytime, probably after 1pm, so I can grab the check if its there.

Speaking of checks, the Denver company said they generated the check on monday and mailed it, so it supposedly left with tuesday’s mail.
Denver to Albuquerque shouldnt have taken more then 3 days even at first class mail, so the fact that it wasnt there friday or saturday is making me rather mad at them still.
I’m not hurting for the money, the only bill i need to pay is my cell phone bill (And renew OD) and my regular check that should be here tomorrow will more then cover those, but i’m just annoyed that its taking this freaking long to get paid for work that i did just about 2 months ago.

Oh crap, need to charge my phone, 9% battery remaining. It was at 38% when i woke up, but i wasnt worried, since i was going to plug it in the car on the drive to El Paso. I think i packed my charger though, i need to look for it.

Edit: From the wind outside, i think i made the right choice in not driving back tonight. I checked the weather channel website, and its pretty windy the whole way down, and i hate driving in the wind, especially at night.

Edit2: I think its totally awesome how many of you have started reading Questionable Content now. I think its awesome, i’ve gone thru all the strips in the last few days. I highly recommend it.
