Long time no Blog….
Long time no Blog....Here comes the saga... Consider this a warning!
Dentist Woes
So - last week kind of sucked. On Jan 2nd I go to the dentist to have a cavity filled. I am thinking, no big deal. Yeah. Three days later I was still in pain from it. Then the snowstorm hit. We only got 6 inches where I live
But regardless, that hindered my ability to see the dentist in a timely fashion. Long story short I ended up going to the dentist Thursday morning. He informed me that I need a root canal. Oh yeah! The tooth that was fine on Friday now is dying and needs to be drilled out. So - I told him to get on with it. I was hurting and didn't want to ANYMORE. Meanwhile I missed over 1/2 at work. Thursday night rolls around. I was doing ok - was in a little bit of pain - but I figured I'd take some advil and it would all be ok.
Then it hit. Pain like I have never had in my life. At least I don't think so. I probably have will all the other mouth trauma I have had in my life, but I forget which is a good thing or I would never step into a dentist's office again. Ever. I was sitting in the middle of my living room floor, rocking back and forth, tears streaming down my face, just praying that it would stop. The only good thing was that the pain came in waves. If it was constant I would have found some pliers and yanked the tooth myself.
Friday morning I was back in the dentist's chair. It still hurts, but not like it did. I go back in on the 23rd. I really don't want to. The pain seems to be at a tolerable level, though I can't chew anything on that side and every time I put a little bit of pressure on it... well... I guess that is enough of that.
Moving Woes...
sometimes life really sucks. My lease is up the end of this month. I have been frantically trying to figure out what I am going to do for the last three weeks. Turns out, I am moving in with my mother. Which isn't terrible, but it really isn't where I want to be right now. It will be temporary. And I will be able to save some money (which I need desperately for the other mouth surgery that I need to get) and saving money is always a good thing. But I hate to move back in after moving out. And not having my stuff, not having my space, not being able to just be me... It has been awhile since I lived with someone. I wasn't expecting to have to do it again so soon.
Pet Woes
Frankley has been really sick. She has lost over half her body weight in the last 3 months. We (Mom and I) finally took her to the vet to see what was wrong. Diabetes. Which really sucks. Now I have to decide. What am I going to do?
other Stuff...
In other news, I am incredibly busy at work. Which is really fun and exciting. But that means I will be really busy, and working over time, and having less time for everything else that I want to be doing...
Life I guess. And the retrograde is over! Why am I still feeling it?

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It's Monday!
Someone at work decided to get me "Mr. Wonderful" It is pretty funny! Though in reality I don't think I would want a guy to be so subservient. But it is fun just to have the thing on my desk for when people come by. The looks on the guys faces is the best!

The last Tuesday of the year….
The last Tuesday of the year....So - this is it. The last Tuesday of 2003. And as I look back I think, what have I accomplished this year?
The most important thing is that I am still alive! Who hoo! Made it. Big sigh of relief.
The second thing is, my cat is still alive (at least so far.) Another sigh of relief.
I didn't lose my job this year (which is HUGE considering all those who have lost their jobs) and I even got promoted! I've gotten to the point where they will actually give me work to do and even expect me to do a good job! I know that sounds kind of lame, but I have felt like the natural progression of responsibility somehow decided to regress when I moved out here... Thereby leaving me with less to do at work. It was a nice break from the terrible horrible pace at AMS (which wasn't that bad when I left because they knew I was leaving and were transferring work away) but I like working hard. Or so I keep telling myself.
This next month will also be my last in the lovely apartment in Puyallup. I'm moving! Yeah! Saturday Maggie is taking me on a tour of West Seattle, to see what we can find over there. Next Saturday Kim is taking me on a tour of Queen Anne. Between the two places I am sure I will find someplace to live. I am hoping for something a little smaller and a lot cheaper. But we will see what comes out of it.
While taking a break from work yesterday I came upon this web site: Orisinal. It has all these fun games that are really easy to play and very addicting. Yeah! And if you get a chance, you should check out Pound's blog today. It reminds me of how some of my friends think.
Well - I am off to another exciting day at work! We'll see what comes of it! Plus I need to start thinking of my New Years Resolutions. I did pretty good on them last year. I am thinking I will keep most of the same ones for this year and maybe add one or two to even things out...

Well, well, well
Well, well, wellSo - the first part of the holidays are complete. Mark and Breeayne made it into town Christmas Eve and slept till Christmas morning. Late morning. I think they got up around 10 - which was about the time Freeman and I arrived
We celebrated Christmas Eve at Freeman's house. He loved his blanket. His mom loved her blanket too. Freeman's blanket was what he asked for, fringe and puff balls! It turned out really pretty. I'm so glad
He gave me a DVD player and I am just ecstatic about it! I have been wanting a DVD player for months now! Now I have one! And it does all kinds of nifty things, like play CD's and JPEGS and other stuff that I don't even know about yet! Yeah! And I got my first DVD, which was really funny, because mom got Freeman the same DVD for Christmas that he got me! Only mom bought him the full screen version and Freeman got me the widescreen version. Anyway -it was funny.
I was totally spoiled again this year for the holidays. In more ways than one. I got to spend time with two really great families (mine & Freeman's) which just rocked.
Friday, Boxing Day!, I took Mark and Breeayne up to Seattle for the afternoon. We walked along the pier, went to the Pike Place Market, visited the aquarium and the Space needle. It was really neat to be up on the space needle as the sun was setting. I haven't been up there in years, and Mark & Breeayne had never been up there. So it was exciting for us all. Sunday we went to Poulsbo via the ferry to Bainbridge. It was fun. We stopped to take lots of pictures. We spent a fair amount of time in Poulsbo before we headed to Bremerton so Mark could see some of the big ships. Then we headed home across the Tacoma Narrows bridge.
So - today I am back at work. :( I really don't want to be. I really want another week of doing as little as possible and having fun in the process. But I live in the real world and have to pay those darn bills!
Happy Monday!
As you wake in the morning
What do you feel?
Does a rush of happiness
wash over you when,
Suddenly, you realize you are alive?
