Left for Dead

Or at least that's how I feel. I trundled out the door with four things to do A) go to the hospital for testing B) go to Wal-Hell C) go to office and recycle the trunk full of cardboard (seriously WHERE does all this come from?) and D) get Frontline for Roy.

Got to hospital, migraine bushwhacks me and leaves me for dead. At least they got my blood on the first stick. Not so with the X-ray of my hip. Guess I'm not as fat as they seemed to think since they overexposed the x-ray. This actually might be more sinus headache than migraine since lying down made it worse which i had to do twice thank you Radiology.

Glowing nicely in the dark, I head for Wal-Hell, buy plants I don't need, forget what I was there for..

Barely able to not get sick. Screwed off C & D and came home. Got sick. FOund out they FINALLY are working on my porch...all of our porches. No warning. My poor plants are all over the place. One of my windchimes is gone (it was on the porch railing). My nice silence is nothing but drills and hammering. So much for resting.

I have Roy grooving to the Hanuman Chalisa while I call Verizon to find out why my new plan is SO expensive (answer, i had to pay prorating for both plans in May and they bill a month ahead.) Bah, hate Verizon.

back to Summer of Giles story which will not write. Stabs it.

ETA- Holy Crap George Carlin died (and was younger than I thought...) I'll miss him

gardening and lay outs

Hmm rather than fix the porch, they just shivved the posts. Big shocker.

In spite of feeling like poopy I took advantage of the cool down (thank you, it was getting nearly 85 again) and the intense storm (knocked out my power three times) to get out there and dig a row for the beans and to weed. As any gardener will tell you gardening is a process. Well in the middle of this, I found FOUR volunteer tomatoes. i've never had that happen before. Three I believe are lemon peppers (little pepper shaped yellow 'cherries') and one was further down. I'm not sure what it'll be. Maybe an Italian Heritage one. Here's hoping they get nice and big.

Lay outs... well believe it or not I've had mine for years now. Wow. Usually I change much more than that but eventually the Buffy fandom layouts went dead and really I haven't seen too many layouts in my newer fandoms (probably just not looking in the right spot). Anyhow, for my birthday evil_little_dog made me a banner.

I could actually get this up on my own. I can see what I need to change on my old layout to put up the new banner from photobucket and where I could change things like 'all about me' and 'memories' and the like. However, my layout is the old S1 version. LJ isn't too happy with that. I don't know what S2 would do to the code I have and we all know I know jack about doing this on my own. Also, I've always disliked the god-awful yellow of my layout and while I can see them on the coding, I have no idea what the numbers stand for, let alone change them to a more pleasing color.

mzzgoddessblue and I were talking about doing my new lay out. However, it's difficult to coordinate times when your countries are this far apart. Anyone else willing to give me a hand? I honestly don't want anything fancy. Mostly just the banner up and a good color for it (bluish would work). I don't even need user info, memories, etc changed into exotic little sayings (in fact, I really hate that. Seriously, I do not want to have to guess what to click on to find what I need on someone's lj but hey, it's theirs to do with what they want so i don't complain but on mine, let's keep it simple.)

Hmm dinner time. Let's see if the body wants food or if it wants to be cranky...

You Are a Phoenix

Driven and ambitious, you tend to acquire material success easily. You have grand schemes - both for your own life and for changing the whole world. You are a great leader, and you have no problem taking the reigns. However, you aren't all business. You also have great talents for performing and visual arts.

um i'm not so sure about success but i like the rest (spelling errors aside)
