• heh, here I am again. Bet you were beginning to think the stalker guy or the zombies got me. Nope, they’ve just been piling on the hours at work (I worked 11 hours last night! Gah!) and my family’s gone to Illinois to visit my sister, leaving me to take care of the dog. I’ve had to spend more time away from the computer than usual, so I can hang with our depressed dog. (She’s not allowed in my room because I am allergic to her.) Blah, major web withdrawal. And I’m also tired because I think I either had the flu or food poisoning the day my family left and I haven’t had a chance to really rest.

  
  

  I had the oddest dream last night. It was like watching a cheap B horror movie. This guy was sitting on some bleachers, and some kids were nearby doing kid stuff. It seemed like a bunch of people were gathered together for a picnic or something. The guy sitting on the bleachers started to spontaneously combust, but no one seemed to notice, not even the guy, until the kids nearby looked up and started shouting and pointing. By then, flames were shooting out from his shirt and arms, and he started running around the bleachers. Someone threw open an ice-bin next to a consessions stand and he shoved his flaming hands in the ice. But he was still smouldering and when he pulled his arms from the ice, his hands had broken off and his arms were charcoal. In minutes, he was little more than a charcoal statue, and people were standing all around aghast. A shame too, cause he was rather cute before he got turned into a cinder.

  
  

  My sister just called and said, “Well, I just picked mom up from the hospital.” WHAT? Gah. Evil sister. Apparently my mom sprained her ankle stepping off a curb. Darn old people, she’s lucky she didn’t break a hip. lol I shouldn’t joke, I sprain my ankles all the time doing the exact same thing. The worst I ever sprained my ankle was simply by stepping out of my room. One step, and boom! down I went like a sack of potatoes. I have such terribly weak ankles. Ah well, she should be back home by tomorrow night, and I can see how bad it really is.

  
  

  For those curious about the smilies-script on my comments page, follow this link for the basic script. It comes with it’s own smilies, but you can customize as I did. Please don’t directly link to my smilies as it will slow down the load time and they already load pretty slowly. Just right-click and save any you like to disk, then down load them to whatever free image hosting site you find. I use Photobucket.com.

  
  

  Apologies for the lack of newsletter on Wednesday, but I really didn’t have time to do it between extra hours at work and taking my mom out for her b-day before she left on her trip. Oh, and I should say that I will be looking at Jung more closely since he comes so highly recommended by folks I respect.
