Frame of Reference

Thursday: Things started out great! I had lunch at taco-bell and planned to go grocery shopping..Well, to get cat food anyway. I need to stock up for Shayde this weekend since I planned on being gone. I got home from work and I felt extremely sleepy so I thought I would take a 30 minute cat nap. It ended up being a 2 in half hour nap and as soon as I woke up I knew that something was wrong. My stomach was making the most awful noises! And that was the beginning. I proceeded to be very ill for the next few days. In fact I am still not completely well, but I can at least watch the food channel now without throwing up. But on a side note. I am an EXTREMELY bad patient. I am stubborn and often do things that doesn't exactly speed up my recovery. And I whine a lot. There is also the moaning and groaning and did I mention the whining a lot? So anyway. A BIG THANK you to the one person who has looked after me and kept me on the right track. It really means a lot to me. *big hugs*

How I wish I could surrender my soul; Shed the clothes that become my skin; See the liar that burns within my needing. How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold. How I wish I had screamed out loud, Instead I've found no meaning. Tears & Rain ~ James Blunt I've fallen in love with that song and I've listened to it on repeat for days!! James Blunt ROCKS! I sort of have a sense of wrongness...like a bad feeling that something is going to happen. I hate that. Because I feel as if I -should- know, I just can't put my finger on it. *shrugs* Oh well...I mean, even if I knew I probably couldn't do anything about it anyway. I finally got my new lens adapter for my camera, so YAAAY expect many pictures soon!

This week has been full of craziness!! Just work drama mostly. The mood has been good though, except that one day where I had some sort of 4 hour sickness. I think I was just tired, because sleeping cured it realy quick! I also only have a little over a month to come to a decision about where I will be living in march. *grumbles* I'm soooo not wanting to do that. Why can't things just "happen"? Oooohhh, or I wish I could just pay people to take care of all of that stressful stuff!! *lol*

This squirrel is literally - SHRIEKING - outside of my balcony. At first I thought he was yelling at my cat...but no, Shayde is inside now and he's still throwing a fit. I think he's gonna start throwing nuts around in a second, he sounds so angry!! It's a really obnoxious sound though...it has now lost its funniness. I'm working on a pencil drawing of a butterfly landing on a kitten's nose. It's going kind of slow though because I'm putting more detail into it than I normally do. But hopefully it will be finished next week...and I'm also redoing my business cards. I need to start doing commissions again. Being poor sucks! *_~ And since I'm on this soap box...ya know what else sucks?? Working 12 days straight. Yep, that's right. I was asked to work on Saturday and Sunday this week. *whines* But, as mentioned above, I do need cash so I can't complain that much....just a little!

Cliche title, I know. Watch me care :) This past year wasn't the worst, but I hope this new year is better. I don't really have any resolutions because I don't know, for some reason I think that's just setting yourself up for failure. Besides, if you want to make changes, you don't have to wait until a specific day to do that. I am starting a couple of new drawing projects and I've been taking a few pictures here and there, which is always fun. I guess I'm just trying to focus on the move right now. I have to move in Feb. I had another dream last night about tornados. We're supposed to have really bad weather tomorrow afternoon and I think I just dreamed about it because I was watching the weather forecast. Hopefully anyways. I know, I'm a dork about weather and tornados, I can't help it! I took this picture at Melton Lake in Oak Ridge by the way. I thought the writing on the railing would either be distracting or add to the picture...I couldn...
