Well, something about my scanner, scanner program, computer or a combination of these is preventing me from scanning. Crap. Also, just when I thought I got my health maintinance doing pretty good, I now have osteoarthritis in my left knee. GAAAH! Oh well. Things could be worse. Turning 30 SUCKS!

My birth/thanksgiving day went well and I'm thankful for having a job in this economy and a family that loves me. I'm also thankful for good friends. There's much more to be thankful for but I'll leave it at this for now. Later all!

Okay guys, I have a lot going on with work right now so I'm not able to check my messages during my work week now. The state cut 10% of their budget to group homes (I work in one) so there were layoffs at work and now I work 10pm-8am Wed-Sat. 10hour shifts means less down time between shifts. I do like the new schedule since I still get my 40 hours a week but more days off. Sooo...

I haven't read most of the journals in my messages and my deviation inbox is up to 350! Hopefully I'll get caught up soon. If it doesn't immediately stand out, I wont be taking a closer look at the deviation (at least until I get caught up).

On another note:
My health isn't all that great (I'm not dying or anything) but I'm coping. My diet is pretty strict. Little to no fat and moderate calcium. No caffeine or alchohol. Blegh. Gotta go now.

Warning! Rant ahead!

I am really getting miffed in general. First, a good friend of mine, nearly a best friend (I'm not comfortable with the term "best friend"), isn't talking to me and I have no idea why. It's quite possible that she's just being flaky since she is a flaky sorta person but I texted her and left a voice mail. I also called her several times (if she has more then one voicemail message, she will often forget to call one or 2 so you gotta try again later) 2 WEEKS AGO. This occurs over 2 days. The only message I ever got (on the first day at around 3) is a text message saying that she'll "be out of here at 5:30". Aaaand that was it. I'm not sure where she was because she wasn't at work (I stopped by earlier that day since it was by where I had to run some errands).

I also can't use my scanner right now because I have the kind of printer/scanner where you can't do ANYTHING unless all print cartridges have ink in them. I don't need a lot of color (it's just one color that is completely out), I don't print that much! When I do print, it's usually black and white! What I use most is the scanner which requires no ink and I cant use it because I need ink! I don't want to spend $14 on an ink cartridge because ONE stinkin color is out!

One more: I don't know if it's my computer or dA but I keep getting logged off unless I'm constantly doing something on this site.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG

BTW I'm getting over a pretty gnarly sunburn (it has 2 blisters). Luckily I'm through the worst of that.

At least I FINALLY got a way to return my broken mp3 player from bestofferbuy.com. A MONTH LATER.
