Do You Want To Know What Bothers Me Sometimes?

Posted on January 3, 2003 by ksmiley



I had company over this afternoon for about an hour and then I left to run an errand to the Job Center just two to three blocks away from my home. As I was walking to and from the Job Center, I saw litter all over the place. Empty plastic bottles of pop, water, and broken beer glasses. Litter just drives me bananas sometimes. I can not understand why people do such things like littering as I think that litter is so appalling and IT LOOKS HORRIBLE! It makes things disgusting, horrible, and junkie. Anyway, on my way home, I almost stepped on broken beer bottles. There could have been some problems there. I think it is disgusting and gross. If I could, without getting sick or disgustingly dirty, I would pick things up and make this city I live in a litter-free zone but because of the germs and bugs that are constantly going around ALL YEAR ROUND, I can not do some things because of the risk of the transplanted kidney I have had for fourteen and a hal years – going on fifteen years March 12, 2003! I can get a blood infeection from cutting myself on a broken glass, staff infection can kill me by shutting everything down. Anyway, what digusts me is the litterbugs of this world! That’s disgusting and horrible.

Who Could Ask For More?

Posted on January 3, 2003 by ksmiley

I got a 3.0 this semester which took me off Financial Aid Probation completely so now I can get my monies (financial aid) this coming semester for January – May. I had gotten my blood work done for my monthly blood work check up and everything there is normal and great, and I do not have any more urinary tract infection! YES! I have started out 2003 with a good start. I can not ask for more!

Today

Posted on January 2, 2003 by ksmiley



Before I left for part of the day, I worked on a new look for my diary here and FINALLY got it looking nice. I decided to mix and match some colors a bit and now I am satisfied with the “new” look, but I do know I will be adding to it off and on from this day forward and changing it slightly from tiime to time. Who knows…LOL

It was 11 a.m. I had left my place to go out with my Nana Lea to do a couple of errands, have lunch, go to the grocery store ALdi’s, the gas station to fill the car with gas, go to American Family Insurance to pay her insurance bill, and then go to the bank to grab some quarters for laundry. Nana and I did not get home until after 3:30 p.m. this afternoon and boy was it cold out today. BRRRR!!!

I got on line again when I got home to work on my journal for a while once again on its new look. After a while Nana called to invite me for dessert…YUM!! I visited with her for a while and then came home…after I did a couple of errands in the building dropping off the newspaper to Nellie Mom and going to the community room finding some tops and sweaters that will fit me nicely. Now I am home again just having a good night at home quiet and peaceful. Now it is time for bed here. I have to get up early to go to the hospital to get my monthly lab/blood work and an urine specimen to check on the infection I once had. It has been, even though cold, a good day all day long. Now I am ready for bed. Good night everyone. Bye…

A New Look

Posted on January 2, 2003 by ksmiley



I have decided, after all, to have a new look for a while once again. Now that Velvetdazzle has done it a couple of times for me, I wrote down everything that she has done, so now I can do “special” things myself now. I do not know how long I am going to have this “new” look but it will stay for, at leat, a while. The look that Velvetdazzle was definitely beautiful and I will, if she wants to, make my Dear Diary place special, she can do it again if she wants to. She is such a sweet girl! Anyway, enjoy my new look for a while. I know I will.

Just like every year, the new year begins on January 1, ???? and then we start a whole new year. A lot of people make resolutions, but not me. I ALWAYS end up breaking the New Year’s Resolution ordeal anyway. I did not make any resolutions this year except to do well in school/college as I have done this past semester. I also have been trying to lose weight which is difficult because of medication and the lack of exercise due to limitations. What a life! Oh well, who cares…I do have some prospects anyway.

Today has been a fairly good day. It is cold outdoors but not a normal winter cold. It is a little bit warmer than that. My friend Mark and I went over to see our friend Janie today who has been dealing with a lot of pain in her joints and is having a lot of trouble getting around now a days. After we visited with her for a while. Then I came home and found Nellie Mom and our good ol’ friend Greg taking down Christmas decorations from the holiday and so I helped as well. There was only four of us helping taking dowon the decorations but soon Greg sat down to watch a football gake and our maintenance man could only do so much, so Nellie and i finished it up in good time – even though it took a while. Then I came up to my place and cleaned out two cupboards in my kitchen and relaxed a bit. I did not turn on my compuer until 6 p.m. and even at that time I was really debating on getting on my computer at all but I decided to do so for a while anyway, I had to start out the new year with an entry anyway.

Now it is a quiet time. Emilee has been napping in the bedroom for a while now and so I have not seen her for a while to give her her wanted attention. It has been good and quiet here. I even took a short nap unexpectedly earlier this afternoon after my two projects were done. Boredom has definitely set in. So it has been a fairly good day all day long. Yeah!

I think now I am going to sign off and get ready for bed. I know I will be getting together with my friend Nana tomorrow morning and early afternoon. We have a couple of errands we want to do together and then we are gping to get a bite to eat at Applebee’s Restuarant for lunch and then we might get some last minute grocery shopping for me. I FORGOT to get butter/margarine, salt, bread, and garbage bags when I went shopping the other night wheen Richard and I got together for the day. I think I am going to say good night for now. Good night friends! Bye…

I Screwed Up, LOL

Posted on December 31, 2002 by ksmiley

This is so funny…here I was writing in my journal today and when I write in my journal at a certain time, I find myself sometimes having to go by the time according to my clock. It is going to be 11 p.m. in about four minutes from now and so it is still December 31, 2002 man made time. When I had written in my journal a few minutes ago, I changed the day and month but NOT theyear! I had written in my journal all right but I was a year ahead of myself, LOL That is the funny part. So here I am, writing yet another entry, telling you of my wonderful mistake (being a year ahead of myself) and fixing it to the right day, month, and year 2002. It will be 2003, man made time in an hour now. It is now 11 p.m.. YEAH! Am I going to make to midnight…??? Well, good night for now and I will be back tomorrow. Good night y’all!

Party’s Over Now

Posted on December 31, 2002 by ksmiley



My company (Catie) has gone home. I just could not stay up until midnight to see the 2003 year come in this New Year’s Eve. According to the clock, New Year 2003 will be here in 2 hrs and 15 minutes. If I do stay up until midnight, it will be in private and with no one around. I still feel I had a trying day all day long! Now the party’s over and I can now have time for myself, which I did not have a whole lot of this day. I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL SCHOOL STARTS UP AGAIN BECAUSE I WILL BE AWAY FROM HERE EXCEPT ON THE WEEKENDS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. The party’s over and I somewhat feel like a party pooper, but I really need time for myself right now. Thank goodness I have time for myself now. I am beginning to feel my breathing is coming back to normal. WHAT A DAY, HONEsTLY! Thank Goodness the party is OVER!!!

Not a Lot of Time Now

Posted on December 31, 2002 by ksmiley

I will be expecting Catie to be here about 7 p.m. – 10 minutes from now so I wil have more company for a while. My heart is still bothered about what happened yesterday evening and what I had to do to have time with my friends Catie and Richard. My heart still feels an ache of confusion and misunderstanding. I wish it would STOP now and not HAPPEN again! I still do not know what to think because I surely felt like I was beinig pulled in two directions and being stuck in the middle. I cried about it most of the night losing sleep and debating on not getting together with either friend there for a couple of hours while I wrestled to find some sleep. I DID NOT get more than four hours of sleep. I ended up watching Matlock at 4 a.m. this morning and FINALLY fell back to sleep on the futon after crying a little bit. The pizza will be done shortly so I better go for now. Sorry about my entries today being a little upsetting and possibly unsettling…because I am unsettled on my mind. Gotta run for now. Bye until AFTER CATIE LEAVES, ok? Bye…for now
