queenrileyOkay, quick update of my life. Jeff starts a job with a company he's worked for before, the past two tax seasons. He's working tech support there again this year starting November 4. It's a 6 month job, so that buys us more time for him to find something starting in April.
My grandmother-in-law is much better now and will be taking the little girl back Monday. Glad she's better, sad to see the girl go, glad I won't have to be up at 5 am anymore, sad that the only source of income is now gone.
Also, am glad that Catherine and Circe get to have a fun weekend together. Am also very very jealous. Darn it, why can't I live near ANY other Quillers? And those I feel closest to have to live so darn far away... I'll be lucky to get up to Madison one of these days to actually meet Edward and Circe in person, and I'd have to win the lottery in order to fly to Iceland to meet Miss Pince. Stupid expensive transportation. Maybe one of these days I'll get so fed up with it I'll just pack some clothes for me and Alex and throw us both in the car for that very very long cartrip and go see Circe. I'm afraid Iceland is too far away to just pack my stuff in the car and go. Besides, I don't think Saturn's float. I'm going to move to Scotland or England one day, and when I do, I'll bring Edward and Circe and the kids with me for a bit. And I'll be close enough for Miss Pince to visit me (or me visit her) every once in awhile. That'll be nice. Don't know how I'll do it, but one day I will. I'll move there someday, even if I'm 80 and near dead when I do it.
Am cursing and enjoying the weather at the same time. I miss cold. I miss the colours of fall, the fires above my head and the crunching beneath my feet. I miss the smell of it all. On the other hand, by being here with the record-breaking low temperatures of 85 degrees (not counting humidity... that puts it at around 95) I can pretend it's still summer. It's late enough in the year that the rain is cold when it hits me instead of hot (ever been in a rainstorm where the rain was hot? I have... it's not fun), but early enough that it dries up without leaving the damp on you. So the rain is nice. But I still miss the cold.
Uterus' of the world, unite! Mine united with the rest of them starting this week, only I didn't know it was uniting with quite so many and from all over the place. I have near immobalizing cramps, like I did when I was in high school. It feels like I've got cysts again, which I was hoping my doctor took care of during my c-section. Stupid cysts... getting in the way of the egg and then tearing open painfully when the egg forces it's way through. I'm assuming that's what it is, as I'm not due for another two weeks or so. That's when the pain used to come before. Stupid female reproduction organs. I want to invent a way to remove the whole thing temporarily, so that during the "monthly visit" we can take it out, hang it on the wall of the toilet and just leave it there until it's done with it's business. Then we can replace the whole thing and go about good as new without having the mess or the pain to deal with. Doesn't that sound nice? Am I being too graphic? Probably. But you know what? I learned the little cut bit, so I don't care so much right now. :)
Have had a visit from a dear old friend of mine. He's in the Navy and he was my first true love, the first one to truely break my heart, but we remained good friends, and he's here on leave for a bit. I've missed him, and I'm glad I got to spend a bit of time with him. He's a sweetheart and I'm always very flirty around him, but that's the way we've always been, and nothing ever comes of it (not anymore anyway), so it's fun. It's gotten me in the giddy, school-girly mood though, so I'm being all flirty with everyone right now. Tee hee. I love being like this. Anyone want to flirt with me? Admittedly, I'm a bit rusty at it, but it's still fun. ;)
Well I guess that's all for right now. I've something banging around my head I'd like to talk about, but that will have to wait until later. Perhaps I'll post about it tomorrow.
