@Koah: Yeah, don't dwell on what you couldn't control - that's the quick way to drive yourself insane... and nobody needs that! XD That really stinks, though, that you couldn't even get basic repairs done. I guess you could at least get the inspections taken care of?

I've heard of a couple sites doing the slow death courtesy of owner abandonment. That's just sooo sad (and not very ethical on the part of the owners, imo).


.................. and apparently I'm now done pixelling for the day! XD

@Wildfire: The worst part about my old favorite site is that the owner said they'd make a strong comeback later. I knew better, so I suppose I jumped ship knowing it was doomed.
I took a hiatus, found a new site, poked around for a while, then was told to join Voltra. So here I am. XD
The things I need to do- as far as paperwork- require money, which is short atm. lol. I am going on a road trip in about 2 weeks [as long as the truck gets fixed on time]. One of my friends had a baby and now I can't wait to visit her.

UHg, my daughter has an ear infection. oTL

@Koah: Yeah, I get it. You'll notice I'm here too :3
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter's ear infection - those are no fun! :(
Yay for new babies (as long as their not mine - lol!) <3 I hope your truck gets fixed in time to visit when you're planning to! :3

@Wildfire: Same here, Yay for new babies as long as they aren't mine. lol! I'm pleased with the 2 children I have.
I don't quite know what to do with this ear infection. I had so many as a kid, and I haven't had one in a decade-ish.
I suppose I'll go the tylenol and warm towel route today.
@Purpsy: That sucks. :c I love fireworks. </3

@Koah: lol - two kids is a good number :3 I'm pretty pleased with mine too, and although it was fun and certainly interesting while they were younger, it's also nice having them transition in to their own lives now and being able to return to mine again... before kids... whatever that means these days! XD I hope your approach to the ear infection helps. I haven't had to deal with them in a long, long, long time, and even then, not very often!!

^w^ so we had this little old lady come in today. First thing she says is that her husband wasn't there to stop her. And then asked where the cookbooks were. Some of what she wanted was on a floor shelf. So I got her a chair to sit in while she browsed. She had a bad back. When she was finished I got her a box for her books. Her husband wasn't there to help her yet. So I put the box in a buggy for her. Moved our chair over by the windows so she could see him. Boss comes out of back heading to his lunch. She stops him to praise me. I was called 'one of our best' by him. Though he doesn't know me enough yet to say that.

It made getting up at 5am much less awful.

I bet.
It was reward for your efforts of getting up and being a functional working adult :3

@Wildfire: I ended up going to the store for ear drops and tylenol. I had ear infections a lot as a kid, but yeah, haven't had one in a long time.
I ended up getting a lot more than I needed from the store too. XD fresh bread was on sale. *o* yum

@MaxIsConfused: Well hello Max. How are you?


@Koah: lol. Isn't that always the case- getting more than you planned? I have been avoiding stores lately just for that reason (& doing my best to forget Amazon exists- lol)

@Wildfire: I messed up because I put a few things on my ebay watchlist and one of the items [that I've been watching for months] dropped 20$. So I bought it this morning and had to ask my husband for forgiveness because I used the dang credit card. e.e"
He just replied "nerd" which I mean, that's fine. <.< I just wonder if he'll be pissy pants about my use of the credit card today. XD I had to run to the store for medicine but left with more than that.
